Highly recommended

I contacted Mr McIntosh in a panic when I was contacted by the court regarding a child support situation. As I am ignorant to anything legal. the advice he provided went above and beyond the usual attorney/client relationship as he provided much needing consoling. Had he not reassured me of the situa...tion, I might have considered literally "going off the deep end" and done something drastic.. The outcome was eventually resolved. No words can describe how lucky and grateful I am that I chose him to represent me.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2010.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2010

updated on 08/21/2018

This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Wayne’s comment:

“This was a technical violation of a rule that does not exist for family lawyers. I was found to have a conflicting duty of care to my client and to her ex-husband! No ethics expert can make sense of this and it was a highly unusual case where the decision was contrary to the WeBill case in the Court of Appeal which specifically criticized these types of decisions. Appealed to the CA Supreme Court it was never heard but our lawyers felt we had a very strong case to have it overturned if it had.”
