I sought out Andrew because I worked with him at a previous firm. Shortly after retaining Andrew, it was discovered this case was not a “fit” due to some unexpected circumstances. Andrew called and shared his contact with me who he knew would be fully capable of taking care of my needs. I think of it as. “ a miracle on 34 street” gesture. Thank you, Andrew while our time was short, you are a pleasure to work with.

I am incredibly grateful for the services I received from CNL Law firm, specifically Andrew Birkeland and his team. I was in need of advice and assistance in a post divorce decree matter. Andrew was quick to understand the issues I was facing into and kindly walked me through the steps to address them. He made me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Andrew's ability to work through the facts in the matter and recall them on cue in conversations and strategy sessions was impressive and reassuring. Ultimately, we received a favorable ruling in the matter and couldn't be happier. I think that divorce matters are emotionally and mentally challenging at best. As such, I am grateful for the kind, thoughtful and expert advice I received from Andrew. His communications with me were always clear, concise and considerate. His guidance and representation in my matter was indisputably positive. The saying “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is the idiom that encourages a positive attitude and optimism in the face of adversity. Andrew Birkeland was instrumental in helping me make lemonade !

Charley was a delight to work with and made the processes for legal assistance seamless and straightforward. He was prompt with answering questions and I always felt like he had my best interests at heart with his work. I would absolutely go back to him for any additional legal needs in the future.

Jared was such an amazing help. He was very direct and transparent. He helped get me resources for my particular situation. Suck a sweet man. 100 percent recommend reaching out with any legal questions, his secretary was so kind and welcoming, as well. A very well ran establishment.

I am incredibly grateful to Veronica Martinez for guiding and protecting my family during one of the most challenging times of our lives. She did an exceptional job of navigating an unusual and complicated case. Throughout the process, she was kind, straightforward, reliable, and fair. She was an excellent communicator and a caring advocate. There were also times her reputation alone seemed to grant us goodwill with court personnel. I hope we’re never in a situation where we need her assistance again, but I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone going through divorce or custody matters. She is simply amazing!

Getting divorced is one of the hardest, most painful experiences someone can go through, thank God I had Rachel Lopez to get me through mine. When I went to CNL Law firm to get legal counsel and met with Attorney Jared Decotea I asked for a “bulldog” of a lawyer because I knew I was in for a fight. Without hesitation he recommended Rachel Lopez to represent me. There was so many moments during my divorce where I was ready to give up, just be done. Rachel would not let me, she was available when I needed her help, extremely knowledgeable, and her confidence and strength gave me the confidence to keep pushing forward. I would not have made it through my divorce without her!! I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce! There is nothing that my ex tried that she wasn’t ready for. RACHEL LOPEZ will forever be someone I am thankful for!!! Tahnee O’Shea

In the 8 years that I’ve known Charles Gibson, he has consistently demonstrated the qualities that make an excellent attorney—caring, attentive, and intelligent. Whether offering personal or professional advice, Charles has been a steady and trustworthy presence. Now that he’s joined CNL Law Firm, I’m confident that his skills and dedication will be a great asset to their team. If you’re looking for a sharp, detail-oriented, and compassionate attorney, look no further than Charles Gibson and CNL Law Firm. You’ll be in the best hands.

I want to take a moment to highlight the exceptional service I received from the team at CNL Law Firm. My now husband and I were searching for lawyers to assist us in drafting a prenuptial agreement. While he found representation easily, I struggled to find an attorney who would take my case seriously. Initially, I reached out to other firms, including Jones Law and Marble Law. Unfortunately, those experiences were discouraging. I felt judged for asking many questions and was required to pay for consultations, which only added to my frustration. Then I discovered CNL Law Firm. I had a free consultation with Jacob Castonguay, who patiently answered all my questions and provided invaluable guidance. Despite my last-minute request just two weeks before my symbolic ceremony, Jacob was always available—responding promptly to my calls and texts. His professionalism and efficiency were evident throughout the process. Because of his busy schedule, he referred me to another Charley Gibson who is the associate attorney, who understood the urgency of my situation. Charley was incredibly detail-oriented, kind, and responsive, ensuring that everything was addressed quickly. I truly felt like I was in good hands with him. Thanks to the outstanding support from both Jacob and Charley, I was able to sign the necessary documents and leave for my destination wedding with complete peace of mind. I can’t thank them enough for their help. If you’re considering a prenuptial agreement or any family law matters, I highly recommend starting with CNL Law Firm. Don’t waste your time elsewhere—these professionals truly care about their clients and deliver exceptional service.

It has been a great experience working with Charley. He is responsive, open with information and advice, and knowledgeable. I trust his sound judgment.

I have been involved in cases with my ex for 6 years now and previously used another firm. For my latest case, I hired CNL Law firm. From my first intake call with them, all the way through to the end of my case, I have had the best experience I could have ever asked for. I wish I had found them 6 years ago. My attorney, Veronica, was absolutely incredible. She was always honest with me with her thoughts, was a very strategic thinker who knew how to navigate every situation I encountered, responded to my messages/questions in a very timely manner, and proactively communicated with me so I was always up to date on what was going on. She was also very conscientious about how often she communicated with me so that my case didn't cost me more than it had to, yet at the same time she never left me wondering what was happening with my case. I 100% trusted Veronica, her team, and the CNL Law Firm. I never doubted that they had my best interest in mind at all times. Hopefully I won't have to go through any more cases with my ex, but if I do, I will absolutely retain Veronica and CNL again. I would highly recommend Veronica and the firm to anyone who is reading this and anyone who asks me if I know of a good family law practice. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

CNL does a great job with family law and divorce
