Best Attorneys by Far for Family Law

Merrit and Ethan both worked on my case and at a time my life was upside down and my children needed the best to fight for them...they were there. Totall professional and it became obvious extremely quickly how competent they were. They gave me great guidance throughout the process and were the absol...ute right blend of experience, strategy, and aggresiveness. I cannot convey enough to you how confident I am they are the right choice on these matters. There are other great lawyers....but these guys are another level entirely.

MERRITT L. WEISINGER IS THE BEST AT FAMILY LAW

Merritt Weisinger and his office, Walnut Creek Family Law, is fantastic. I have used their services over the years with my divorce. They are agressive attorneys and I greatly appreciate their assistance on my case. They got me custody of my kids and helped me with support payments. I cannot thank t...hem enough.

my costody fight

In a very long nasty fight for custody of my daughter, I was drug through the mud with a variaty of lies and false aligations. I tried to represent myself which turned out to be a dead end. I got leagal representation and wound up with a lawyer who strung me along for about a year with not much of a ...resalt. Then i met merritt, and from day one my case took on a whole out look. The truth had started to come out and it wasn't long before I could see the light at the end of the tunle. Long story short, I won my case because of Merritt.

Good lawyer

When I hired Merritt Weisinger and Walnut Creek Family Law Center as my attorneys it looked like I might lose primary custody of my kids and that I was getting the short end financially and with our property. He fought for me and was aggressive, and courtesous, with the other lawyer. As a result of... his game plan and skill I was able to keep primary custody of our kids and I obtained a fair division of our property and a decent support order. Even the Judge commented on how well prepared my case was.

Merritt Weisinger is a knowledgable, aggressive and helpful family law attorney

I went through a bitter divorce with custody and spousal support issues. Not only did Mr. Weisinger resolve these issues and defend me during every step of the process, he also got me the most important thing in my life, my kids. I would and do recommend Merritt for anyone going through a divorce o...r with family law issues.

"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Merritt since before I went to law school. He has handled major cases, a few famous cases, and I see he's managed to practice long enough to work with his son. He is both skilled and durable. He also opened a door for me when I didn't know what to be when I grew up. Thank you."
