Caitlin not only helped me win my case, she helped me prepare for the meeting at the court house and gave me great advice on not what to say and things to say. This might not sound relevant if you haven’t been through a coustdy battle but, I have and Caitlin was there for me the entire time. She is smart, strong and kind. She will have your back 110%. I highly recommend her!

She is a total Rookie!!! She took me for $4,500.00, for barely did any work. Her first and only court appearance for me was a disaster. She was late and then very nervous. My divorce involved a house, IRAs, etc. She couldn’t handle it, so SHE quit my case and bow-ed out. And kept my money.

What an amazing family law attorney! I have known Ms. Steele for nearly 5 years. She represented me during my divorce and first custody battle in 2013. She recently represented me through my complex move away custody request. This move away request involved a forensic child custody evaluation and was about as complicated a case as it gets. I'm a military father who was dealing with an ex-spouse that wanted to only give me minimal custody. I wont go into the detailed reasons for my ex-spouses behavior, however I will say that my daughter was not old enough to advocate for herself. There was no solid evidence that my daughter did not belong with her mom and because of that it was a very tough case. That is one of the reasons I needed Ms. Steeles services as I knew she was proficient enough to handle all parts of the case. The time it took me to get my my move away request heard was about approximately 9 months in San Diego. During this time Ms. Steele was always available and gave sound advice. She was a champion for me and I'm so thankful for her. She takes your case personal and makes it a point to give you her best effort. Another reason I highly recommend her is that she is an excellent communicator. This is invaluable in this court system, especially if you need things to move along. As an a example there was a date that the judge opened on the calendar for us to be heard, because Ms. Steele was able to articulate how important it was to be heard I was able to secure that date. Very long story short if you hire Ms. Steele as your attorney you are guaranteed the best outcome you can possibly get. She worked tirelessly, gave sound advice, and promptly returned my calls. I consider Ms. Steele a part of our family and I'm thankful for her being apart of our lives. I ended up with custody of my daughter and a very fair agreement that was in the best interests of my daughter. Thank you for everything Caitlin V. Steele!

NICK IS A VERY SOLID ATTORNEY, HE'S ON THE BALL IN SAN DIEGO. SAN DIEGO HAS MILITARY AND HIGH LEVEL CLEARANCE FOLK AROUND.

Caitlin is an excellent attorney who's integrity, honesty, and professionalism is incomparable. I would endorse her for anyone who needs assistance in the Family Court arena.

I cannot express the gratitude and warmth that I feel for Caitlin V. Steele she fought for my son when no one else would. She knew that I was fighting a bully, but she was willing to push back without hesitation. She believed in me when no one else would. I was so tired of attorneys but my oldest son told me that he would find an attorney. I was not excited, after several consultations he called me and told me that he found one. Once again I was not excited nor impressed he gave me the phone number to call I put it to the side. A few days went past my son called me and he thought I would have the same excitement that he had. By now he had told my other boys they were excited, but I had not called for the consultation. Once again I said I would call and set up appointment I didn’t do it right away but I did just to shut up my boys. They did not know the disappointing attorneys that I had dealt with. When I talked to Caitlin I became a fan. She was warm and professional she made me feel comfortable talking to her. My child support case was so complicated and so time consuming she was willing to fight the bullies for me. When she took the case to her firm the Law Office of David C. Beavans APC she called me and said they were going to take my case I hesitated because I had tear my eye. They have taken my case my case to a whole new level. This firms have a great set of attorneys which include David C. Beavans ESQ, Caitlin V. Steele ESQ, John T. Sylvester ESQ, and Lizel D. Rosario Legal Assistance. My case has gone to the Court of Appeal. Thanks to Caitlin for without her I would have never meant David, John or Lizel the true Justice League. Thank you for handling the bullies I could not.

Nick is the hands down the best attorney you will find in Southern California if not anywhere. After 8 months of fighting my case and the DA not offering less then 13 yrs, 6 and 7 yrs consecutive, nick worked a miracle went around the DA and got the judge to give me 6 yrs which I did 18 months in custody and another 18 in a program where I was working and had my children with me. I owe Nick my life! Still can't believe he got me out of that nightmare as easy as he did!!

I was referred to Law Office of David C. Beavens by great friends who are attorneys in a different field. The entire team at this firm is extremely professional and courteous the moment you walk through the door! Caitlin Steele is a fierce attorney who is genuine and passionate about her work. Her background in post judgement modifications and domestic violence were two major areas of need for me personally, but there was one area that I had to make sure she'd be a good fit for. From the time I began working with her, I expressed my main concern was keeping the needs of my child, who has Autism and other conditions, a priority. I am thoroughly impressed with Caitlin's willingness to learn about and better understand the special factors involved with my son. With that attitude she not only made me feel comfortable about trusting her, but gave me confidence that my son's best interests would always be at the forefront of how she handled my case! She is not too proud to consult with and work collaboratively, when needed, with my other attorneys who specialize in the field of special needs related law. She always makes sure I understand each step in the process and is truthful about the possible outcomes. She always responds to emails and calls promptly with great attention and care. In the court room she's precise and successfully conveys important points to the judge with favorable results for my son. It is not always easy to find an attorney with the combination of knowledge, compassion, experience, and professionalism that I have encountered with Caitlin representing me. She has made a tremendous impact on lowering not only the stress involved in your typical divorce, but the added stress that comes from having a special needs child involved! I highly recommend that you consider her for your Family Law matters!!

At A time in my life where I believed there was absolutely no hope for me to get out of the situation I put myself in, and after contacting different attorneys, I felt I needed to contact the Office of Nicholas De Pento. I was in a tragic accident where someone died. Mr. De Pento was able to get me a more than reasonable outcome to a case where I should've probably spent the rest of my life in prison. I recommend this man to anyone who has minor cases to a person who's entire life and future is on the line. I trusted this man with my life; and he accomplished a miracle. Thank you NIck. My family and I are indebted to you.

Nichols DePento helped our family on several occasions, he communicated with us along the way and took care of business in a timely manner. DePento is very professional, trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him to anyone. A Putnam
