Kevin Cecil is hands down the best divorce attorney in Sacramento! He helped with handling all the complicated measures, making the process as smooth as possible. He even adjustment many critical errors and amendments from the other party’s representing attorney. A true expert and professional in his craft. Sadly, I have referred quite a few close friends and family looking for a divorce lawyer in Sacramento to Kevin. He did an incredible job, and I will still refer to him as needed. Professionalism aside, Kevin is a super cool dude and was easy to work with. Thanks Kevin!

Kevin Cecil is an awesome lawyer and I’m so thankful he took my case! Kevin came into my case at the very end and he quickly got up to speed, became very knowledgeable of my case, was very organized and clear. He effectively and logically delivered the information to the judge. He is extremely knowledgeable in law and how the system works, he is thorough and doesn’t let the other party slip anything by, he ensures all bases are covered! The result of my case where beyond what I could have wished for!!! Thanks again Keven for all you work on my case!

Kevin Cecil is absolutely 100%, hands down the Attorney you want! He took on a very messy divorce/custody/restraining order case that took YEARS to come to an end, and he made it look easy. He dealt with situations no attorney should have to deal with, and he never faltered. He guided us every step of the way. He truly cared about us and the situations we were in, and he did everything in his power to make it easier for us, and followed through on everything he said he’d do. He is trustworthy, understanding, respectful, intelligent, the list could go on and on. He kept me calm on more than a few occasions when I was worried, uneasy and losing my cool. He navigates the legal court system with ease; he has an outstanding courtroom presence; every declaration is clear and eloquently written. I honestly can not sing his praises enough. There are no words to explain how fantastic Kevin is at his job. Whether you have a simple case, or you’ve got a total disaster, Kevin is more than capable of handling anything you can throw at him. He fought for us every step of the way; our case was a long uphill battle, and finally at the end the results were what we wanted. He truly made our lives better. Honestly, if anyone is looking for an Attorney look no further, you will not find anyone better than Kevin Cecil. Kevin thank you from the bottom of our hearts for keeping our family whole, safe and happy! We are forever grateful to you!

I'm so grateful for Kevin. When I came back into town I was so lost on what to do with my divorce. Kevin has been an amazing friend since childhood and when I told him about my divorce he didn't hesitate to help me. He was very informative and guided me through an extremely difficult time. The whole process was very smooth. Kevin's team was a pleasure to work with as well. It was so amazing to not have to worry about what was happening with my divorce. He helped me make it fair and amicable for all parties involved. COVID was hard enough so I'm so grateful that you helped me when I was at my lowest. I also know I have a friend for life. Thank you Kevin. You are the best lawyer and friend anyone could ask for. Sara

I highly recommend Cecil and Cecil Law Firm. Mr. Cecil and his staff were dedicated to handling a difficult Guardianship. They’re conscientious, caring and sincere concern of my two at risk grandchildren took the burden of stress off of our family and made the whole process stress free. They were able to keep the cost within their retainer. His office was able to avoid conflict with all involved. They handled the parents with respect and dignity and that truly is a gift with the type of case that we had. I was awarded permanent Guardianship until age 18. Both of my grand kids are thriving now. Not all cases are the same and some take a long time. I was lucky enough to have a competent attorney and his amazing Paralegal, Cathy who completed the Guardianship in less than six months. I cannot thank them enough! We appreciate all their hard work and dedication to our case. They are a tribute to their profession.

I contacted Mr. Cecil in July regarding a situation between my husband, his daughter and I. I talked to Mr. Cecil about a possible Restraining Order on both my husband and his daughter along with filing for divorce. I hired Mr. Cecil and he filled out the documents for both requests we talked about and sent them through the court system for approval. Both requests were approved and an initial Court date was set. My husband was served with both the Restraining Order and Divorce papers were served. Mr. Cecil and Cathy Fangonilo sent the different forms needed for me to fill out for my financial information and what was mine before the marriage and what we bought together during the marriage, My attorney would make any changes to documents I didn't agree with that my husband would submit through his attorney until we (my husband and I) would come to an agreement on property. We had our second court date in which both attorneys were supposed discuss and send a proposal to the Judge for him to look over and render his decision before our next court date. The Judge ruled in my husbands favor but it was unfortunate that my husband passed away before our next court date. Both Mr. Ceicil and Cathy were both very knowledgeable and answered all my question and kept me up to date on what to expect.

Finding yourself on the other side of the table from someone you expected to spend your life with is hard at best, traumatizing at its worst. These highly-pressured family situations are better served, IMO, with the humane touches of kindness, and the feeling of family and support. That is what I felt and continue to feel about Kevin’s Family Law Office. Kevin M. Cecil goes above and beyond. I have known him over 7 years now. He is present, quick-minded, engaged, protective, proactive, and aware of your needs. Watching him at work, it was totally obvious he was in his element. You never knew how many other cases he had--- because he found a way to make you feel your case was just as important to HIM as yourself. He puts himself fully into your unique situation with concern for your getting your best possible outcome. He is not only attentive to detail, he actively listens, and you readily, and consistently, understand that Kevin has your back. I feel the need to also address Cathy, who was simply amazing. She got me through a lot. They worked very well together to make a challenging experience as smooth as they could. While nobody’s fault I filed right as the Covid19 pandemic was starting and so what should have taken a few months turned into a year-long process of hearing cancellations, court closings and delays. They responded very quickly to my emails and phone calls as well as my pain going through the process. I was not an easy client. It seems many businesses try to create a one-size-fits-all container. That continues to be a hardship in life for me. High anxiety and panic disorder etc., made me hard to deal with on top of the stress of the situation. I would say they don't understand how difficult it was for me.. but I cannot because they were there the entire year with me. They never lost their temper with my questions and concerns and kept calmly guiding and reassuring me that I would make it through to the other side. To someone like me that handling of my issues was/is priceless. I am truly grateful beyond words to both Kevin and Cathy. For real, I have nothing negative to say. In fact, I can’t say enough. Except thank you for everything!!!! I recommend Kevin fully and completely for your family legal wants and needs.

Kevin Cecil has saved my family. He represented my sister in a harrowing and on-going divorce, child custody, and domestic violence case. He moved swiftly to keep us safe. He has fought extremely hard to ensure she retains full custody. He continues to follow through to make sure my sister gets the results she wants. After each court date, we are beyond grateful to have Kevin in our corner. I encourage anyone I care about who is possibly embarking on their family law journey to consult with Kevin.

Kevin was my divorce attorney. He was prompt with his responses, gave me accurate information and was a pleasure to work with. He helped me navigate a very hard situation and get to a fair resolution. I would absolutely recommend Kevin to anyone needing representation in family court.

Having many questions over the last few years Kevin has been there for everything even late at night. Divorce can be a mess and he is organized and active in the courts daily. His solutions and recommendations have saved me time and ended problems in court with the worst being thrown at me.

Kevin was an incredible help during a challenging time. I was referred to Kevin by another friend and I could not be more grateful. He took the time to understand the challenge I was in and provided me advice and options for my situation that I had not received in other conversations. Going from a state of feeling optionless to a state of hopefulness and I am truly grateful to Kevin!

Just before the dawn of COVID 19, I approached Kevin with a need for representation. Meeting for 30 minutes and talking it over, the case was suppose to make a quick 45 day turn around. But people change their minds sometimes, thus we started on the journey of California Law. During the process, I had many failed court cases, no fault of Kevin's but rather the legal system. Kevin and Cathy (which are a ferocious legal team) maintained me like a loved family heirloom. We exchanged words and had some rough patches, which most lawyers would of discharged their position as representative. He stuck firmly beside me and listened to my side of any disagreements, as I can be a real ***hole sometimes! He doesn't always talk a lot but he demonstrates a honest compassion. The two of them worked with me every step of the way. Even when I felt like the end of the world was a single step in front of me, they went out of their way to reassure me, things will be fine. He also has to be one of the most honest people I know. Literally! He was blunt and straight forward. Even if I didn't like what he had to say! I would without a doubt open my house to him, it is hard to explain how the two of them can really pull you in as family! Kevin also demonstrates the "big brother" behavior, almost protective! You can find many reasons to go to other lawyers. But they would only be reasons to talk yourself out of good representation. Rather it be age/price/haircut you would be missing out. I spent a year working with Kevin and Cathy and have witnessed many lawyers in action. I shutter to think what would of come of it all, had it been any of them I had decided on. The final resolution wasn't what I wanted, but rather more! I was granted custody, permission to relocate to another country, court order stating she had to give me any signature/paperwork I needed to make it happen. If your still reading your waiting for the ultimate verdict, in 2020 through the entirety of COVID 19 Kevin and Cathy were with me every step of the way, every court case, every meeting, every time I asked questions. If you need a lawyer, that simply doesn't jack you around. Talk to him, get a consultation! Remember if all else fails you could hire him as a consultant. Though that means more paperwork for you. I wouldn't recommend a single individual over Kevin.
