    Testimonials

        “Thank you from the bottom of my heart to you and to Vivian as this would not have happened without you.”

        "I would like to thank the entire team for working so hard to prepare and present my case with the facts and evidence. The Team may be aware of this but it is amazing to watch you work when you are in front of the Judge. Your knowledge about the Law, namely Family Law, is clearly evident. Will's ability to lead the Court in the right direction, shut down OC when they go off track, especially in their Reply is amazing. His preparedness and ability to back all his statements with facts, case law, and contradicting opposing evidence is something to watch. Please do not take this the wrong way, but I call him a "Rock Star" who does not understand how good his performance is, from someone watching from the outside, including the Judges. Of course this comes from many years of practice, but I believe it is more that that, he truly wants to support and help his clients to the best of his ability. I always say that the truth will always rise to the top and the one who tells the truth will not have to worry about their conscience or the result."
