Par Excellence

I would agree with most positive reviews about Ethan and more. I have known his father Merritt professionally for a long time and I met Ethan years ago at their office. Ethan was a young sharp attorney then and he is a brilliant attorney now. My divorce was complex and difficult as it emanated fro...m a foreign marriage. Ethan was not only prepared to deal with issues dealing with an ill conceived attempt at a reconciliation of marriage but also with issues stemming from a foreign marriage contract. He not only navigated through the reconciliation issues but also complex property issues, alimony, child support, custody and visitation aspects of the case. I couldn't have hired a more knowledgeable, aggressive and well prepared attorney. I could write a brief on Ethan. He is not only readily accessible but friendly and down to earth. There's no hint of arrogance or standoffish that you might find with other attorneys. I would say Ethan takes each case very personal and high professional. I cannot say enough to thank this young attorney. All in all, he is the best in his field. Thank you Ethan a thousand times thank you and God bless!

Excellence.

I would recommend Ethan to anyone. I have been going through a complex high conflict divorce and Ethan has been handling it with skill and professionalism. I was worried and cautious about which attorney I could trust in a difficult situation, now I am so glad I chose Ethan. Highly recommended! Ali...sa.

Divorce Court Settlement - QDRO

I never thought I would ever find a lawyer who could assist collect a divorce settlement awarded to me six years ago. It was easy to speak with him over the phone, as it was in person, in his office. My first impression was, he is bright, experienced and skilled in family law, sincere, and will def...initely protect my interest as his client. During my visit in his office, I did not have a second thought at all to hire him and represent me. And during the process, he was always available to receive or return my calls to answer further questions, inquiries, or clarifications. He was way on time during the court set date. At the court, he was very focused, steady, so professional during the back and forth negotiation with the other party. And he has explained to me his back-up strategies if things do not turn out exactly as he intended. Guess what, Ethan had successfully make the other party reveal his assets, present recommendation to the presiding Judge, and best of all, immediate payments of QDRO judgement. Again, I thank the Lord for my neighbor friend who highly recommended Ethan to me, and who also Ethan had helped successfully with her divorce settlement. And based our experiences, I highly recommend Attorney Ethan with his knowledge and skills in family law. He will protect your interest as his client, and he also becomes a friend. He is a rare young lawyer in the field of Family Law.

A Lawyer with passion

I am a Pastor and Educator from Texas and I needed a Lawyer in Contra Costa County. After calling over 10 lawyers in Contra Costa County I was re-leaved to speak with Ethan. It was clear from our initial conversation that he had passion and enthusiasm for my case. Ethan is plain spoken and gets to... the point, (being from Texas I like when a man speaks his mind clearly without beating around the bush). Ethan fought for me and went above and beyond the call in the service of his client. When we arrived in California and met for the first time in person we were able to see that the friendly and professional voices we had grown to admire. The whole team at the Family Law Center were kind and friendly and extremely helpful. Karen his paralegal was professional and kind and very helpful. Ethan mother arrived for a visit at the office and she helped my wife find a hotel close to where we needed to be since we were not familiar with the area. You can tell when people are kind and really care about other people. Everyone in their office loved my wife's East Texas accent and made us feel welcome. That's what you will find if you have Ethan fight for you. When we went to court I felt well represented that our best interests were being fought for and that we were the top concern during our case. This will be my lawyer firm in California from here on out and I will be promoting and referring them to anyone else who wants highly professional and competent lawyers with passion. My wife and I feel truly blessed that God had brought us to Ethan and Merritt Weisninger's Law firm. Pastor[removed by avvo staff] [removed by avvo staff]
