I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Joel and his associates From the outset, they approached my case with the tenacity of a shark, leaving no room for the opposing side to slide by. Joel demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to my goals, navigating the legal complexities with precision and determination. Their strategic prowess and unwavering advocacy led to a resounding success in my case. What truly sets Joel and Kristen apart is their ability to handle every detail with a meticulous approach, ensuring nothing was overlooked. The level of dedication and focus exhibited throughout the process made me feel confident and supported. In the courtroom, Joel was a force to be reckoned with—confident, articulate, and always one step ahead. Their sharp legal mind and relentless pursuit of justice were evident, leaving a lasting impact on the outcome of my case. Thanks to Joel and Kristen I not only achieved my goals but did so with a sense of empowerment and assurance. I wholeheartedly recommend Joel and his associates for anyone seeking legal representation that goes above and beyond, making success not just a possibility but a reality.

I found myself tangled in a divorce case that could have been scripted for a Hollywood horror story. The opposing counsel painted me as the next James Bond of business and investments – except that their story was purely fiction. If the judge had bought into the plot, I would have faced financial ruin. But then, enter my divorce attorney, Joel – the real hero in this story. Joel is like a legal Energizer Bunny. He's incredibly hardworking and willing to burn the midnight oil to get things right. He showed up with diligence and dedication that was nothing short of super heroic. Unlike those larger-than-life law firms with endless layers of staff, Joel runs a tight ship. His small office means you don't need a treasure map to reach him. A direct call or email and you're in touch with the man himself, ready to unravel the mysteries of your case. Joel's ability to see the forest through the trees is uncanny. He doesn't get bogged down in the minutiae. Instead, he keeps his eye on the prize, steering the ship toward the best possible outcome. Joel's billing is fair, and he's not in it for the gold bullion. He's more like a financial detective, always weighing the cost against the benefit. He's even up for a little friendly negotiation with the opposing counsel, saving you from the bankruptcy that's too often the final act in a divorce. In the end, Joel provided a value that's priceless. If you find yourself facing a divorce and need an attorney, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Joel. He's the attorney you'll want in your corner when life's plot takes an unexpected twist.

Divorce is traumatic, I never imagined having to experience this overwhelming predicament. Luckily, I had two phenomenal attorneys to guide me through the painful process. Mr. Joel Siedel and Ms. Tasneem Campwala were blessings to me in this tragic time. This super team navigated a very difficult situation with ease, never allowing me to let my emotions cloud my judgement, stay positive and gracious, and to “keep my eye on the ball”. They were fair, factual, timely, and could see different perspectives when I could not. THEY never played “dirty”, and really kept everything professional even when things were not with opposing counsel. When I had given feedback or had questions, it was always received graciously. Their partnership offered everything that I could have ever hoped for during this process; their strengths were complimentary. They were clear, concise, factual, and focused, yet empathetic, kind, gentle, and understanding. They did everything in their power to keep my costs down. In the end, I was able to get the settlement that I wanted. Mr. Seidel and Ms. Campwala were extremely competent, professional and kind. A rare find in the field of family law. I would recommend them without reservation. A++++

Joel S. Seidel, and his team are excellent Family Law Attorney's. My case involved spousal support termination at the age of 65. I contacted a few attorneys before hiring Joel, but decided to hire him over the others, because he was responsive, professional, knowledgeable about my situation, was willing to listen and gave me honest feedback. He and his staff are great writers in preparation of all court documents required to convince the court of my case to Win. My case was only going to be resolved in the courtroom, and Joel was ready to plead my case and more importantly prepare me for the court hearing. In pleading my case, Joel new the case law very well, which he argued for a Win verdict, and we coordinated the entire case over emails and telephone calls, thereby saving me costs. Joel is very cognizant of the client's cost and does everything he can to keep costs to the minimum. I highly recommend his services!

Joel and his associate were incredibly helpful in helping me file my papers without errors, answering questions about the process and being extremely quick and prompt with replies.

I am very grateful for the warm welcome and help I received from Joel Siedel and Kristine Bowman. Three years ago, I needed their services for a simple divorce procedure that became overextended. Throughout the process, Joel and Kristine were there to walk me through the confusing parts and calm me down when things became unfamiliar and scary. Their service exceeds all expectations regarding professionalism and personal care for their client. Whenever I need them, they are always available to help quickly and with a high level of service. Thank you so much for everything!

I got a horrible result from my 1st attorney in my divorce case concerning the Moore Marsden (the calculation to divide the community assets). I was fortunate to be referred to Attorney Seidel from the Accountant that was doing my calculations. Mr. Seidel gave me a realistic and informed outlook on my Appeal for my Moore Marsden court case. He was able to confidently get me through the process and win the Appeal saving my about $400,000 dollars. Yes, amazing. He really cares for his clients, and he is very knowledgeable about the Divorce Appeal process. You can be assured that Attorney Seidel cares and will work for your best interest. Thank you again Attorney Seidel. Steven H.

Mr. Seidel and his staff were responsive, professional and considerate of my individual needs. I would definitely recommend his office to anyone in need of help during a very difficult time.

So glad I had Joel represent me in my divorce. He is personable and had my best interest at heart. Going through a divorce is definitely stressful and he always made himself available whenever I had a question or a concern as to what direction my divorce was heading. Unfortunately the ex was a narcissist and in California that doesn't matter and I was the bread winner. Joel is straight forward and honest and advise on things that I did not necessarily agree. I consulted another attorney for a second opinion and this attorney said "Why would you consider changing attorney when you have the #1 divorce attorney in the San Fernando Valley?" Well rest assured I stayed with Joel. He is kind and considerate but holds no punches when it comes to strategies. He is well respected among his peers. His fees are reasonable and even gave me a break at times. Overall I settled out of court and satisfied with the outcome.

Joel rescued my divorce when I thought all was lost. The friend that recommended Joel said to me "for every thousand bad attorneys, there is one good one - Joel." Joel was very personable, honest, and to the point. He proved his experience in a messy, complicated divorce. There is nothing more terrifying than the fear of losing a child or your child being taken away from you. Also nothing scarier than losing your hard earned assets. My situation was terrifying and none of the 3 attorneys I worked with prior to Joel knew the parameters needed to smoothly resolve my messy divorce. Joel Seidel was the only attorney who secured my trust that my situation could be favorably resolved. He calmly and confidently managed all the hurdles we faced. Joel fixed the mess my prior inexperienced, negligent attorneys had created. We were successful in getting as favorable a result as one could hope for, under the circumstances. I know I can confidently recommend him to my friends.

Five star/A+++ attorney and representation. Highly recommended. Anybody that’s in the unfortunate position to have to hire an attorney for a high conflict child custody case is already involved in a high drama situation. What makes navigating the waters easier, having piece of mind, and less drama is having representation where the attorney is extremely knowledgeable, highly respected, has over 2 1/2 decades of experience, and so personable that you know him and his team really do care about their client and take the time to understand and represent the client with the upmost professionalism and strategy that can only be learned through years of experience, practice, and knowledge. This is exactly what I found in the two years time that Joel Seidel and his colleague Tasneem Campwala represented me in my high conflict child custody case. From the beginning Joel and his team were the upmost of professionals. Not skipping a beat in the representation of me and my young daughter. After initially hiring an attorney who seemed to not have the experience to navigate the Family Court system in the City of Los Angeles, I did some follow up research and found Joel to be exactly what I needed and wanted, someone who went above and beyond all of my expectations. Once I hired Joel everything was like clockwork. Every phone call, email, or text I sent to Joel and Tasneem was responded to immediately and always within a very short time. Joel’s representation of my case in court was always on point and him and his team were never drawn into the drama that the opposing counsel was trying to create but only stuck to the facts and our strategy of what was best for my daughter. At this point my daughter is 5 years old and if I need to use Joel’s services at any point before she turns 18, I will not hesitate to call him as he and his team have represented me and my daughter with the upmost diligence, care, and professionalism. Custody issues can be extremely difficult but what makes it easier is having a team that understands clearly and concisely what they’re doing and I’m thankful to Joel and Tasneem for fighting for me and my daughter and getting the best possible outcome. I am truly grateful to Joel and Tasneem for their excellent and superb representation of me and my daughter. This is without a doubt the team you want on your side and representing you.

Mr. Seidel is by the far the BEST ATTORNEY I’ve worked with and is highly recommended by other lawyers I know. He’s insightful, efficient with time, responsive with all forms of communication, and so vast in his knowledge and experience with the law.
