Finding yourself in a legal battle is a life event nothing can prepare you for, finding yourself in…read morea legal battle with an experienced, and knowledgeable professional on your team is something you can prepare for; and you should, as having a lawyer as focused on your goals as you are makes all the difference in the courtroom. Joel Seidel and his associates are a legal team with years of experience, unique and flexible ideas, and a legal passion and drive that has led them to create laws that are now in place to support not only their clients, but all others facing family law injustices. If you are looking for a family law attorney, there is nothing simple about the road ahead, but meeting with Joel and discussing your case is simple. Joel and his associates welcome you into their office for a face to face understanding of your personal situation and goals, and continue to avail themselves by phone, text, or email as you continue through your case. Joel and his associates are recognized throughout our local court system and have earned the respect of the court and fellow bench officers earning them the opportunity to support the outcome of your case through successful communication, mediation, or trial hearings. As a recent client I can tell you that my case was unjust; my partner was deceitful, my home was compromised, and my personal safety affected, and at all turns Joel Seidel and his associates were present, supportive, and responsive with next steps until case end.

I retained Joel Seidel in October 2023 for a family law trial scheduled for February 2024 involving…read morecomplex financial and business valuation issues. Before retaining him, I specifically explained that my priorities were pursuing financial discovery, valuation of my ex husband's medical corporation, hidden income concerns, and a Family Code §2640 reimbursement claim exceeding $126,000. I was assured that these issues would be aggressively pursued and that his office had substantial experience handling high conflict financial family law litigation. I then spent months gathering and providing detailed financial documentation to his office, including bank statements, contracts, financial records, and evidence I believed demonstrated financial concealment and inconsistencies involving my ex husband's business operations. Despite this, meaningful discovery efforts did not begin until very late in the case. Subpoenas and discovery were initiated only shortly before the February 2024 trial date, leaving little time for proper follow through or enforcement. As trial approached, I became increasingly concerned that the case was not prepared for trial despite having retained counsel months earlier. Instead of moving aggressively forward with litigation, pressure shifted heavily toward settlement and Mandatory Settlement Conference discussions immediately before trial. Mr. Seidel repeatedly expressed skepticism that my ex husband's medical corporation had measurable value and characterized it more like a "loan out corporation" rather than a profitable medical business with enterprise goodwill and ongoing contract relationships. Yet the court later reserved jurisdiction over business valuation post judgment and moved toward appointment of an Evidence Code §730 neutral valuation expert. He also advised that my §2640 reimbursement claim was likely not provable despite my possession of checks and written documentation supporting the separate property contributions. I later prevailed on that claim at trial and was awarded reimbursement exceeding $126,000. One of the most difficult aspects of this experience was the repeated feeling that my concerns regarding financial concealment and economic abuse were not being taken seriously despite the amount of documentation I was providing. I have since come to believe many women experience what I call the "Cassandra Effect" in family law litigation: women raise concerns regarding hidden income, financial manipulation, coercive financial behavior, or business irregularities, but are treated as emotional or unrealistic until evidence later confirms many of those concerns. Ultimately, I achieved significantly better results at trial than what I had been repeatedly told was realistic or likely achievable. My experience with Joel Seidel left me feeling unheard, poorly advised, and pressured toward settlement despite substantial unresolved financial issues. If your case involves complex business valuation issues, hidden income concerns, financial manipulation, or economic abuse dynamics, I would strongly encourage you to carefully evaluate whether this attorney is the right fit for your case.
