“I was married for eight years. . .I told her that we could use her lawyer to help mediate our divorce, so we could avoid the huge costs. . .

“Sara Neumann was referred to me as an amazing attorney, after consulting with her over the phone I knew that I had to meet with her. After meeting with Sara I felt confident that she was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. She was really easy to talk to and down to earth. I had many concerns regarding this sensitive case. First my children have always been with their Mother during the school week and I had them every weekend and holidays. I now wanted my children to live with me during the school week so that I could help them with their homework and extra-curricular activities. I was concerned being a Father that the court would not want to place the children in my care and leave the children with their Mother. Sara reassured me that the court system has changed and Fathers rights are really taken into consideration. We met with her in October, filed paper work in November, had a court hearing set for January, and by June after a difficult fight I was able to have my children during the school week. I truly believe to this day that because of Sara’s expertise, knowledge and patience I was able to get what I requested. I will continue to use Sara Neumann as my attorney and highly recommend her. She will fight for your children.”
“Great Divorce/family lawyer! Ms. Estela De Orduna, helped me with my divorce and was very thorough with my case. She was very understanding as well as professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
“My family is forever indebted to Attorney Jennifer Murdock. My daughter was in a difficult, intimidating relationship with the father of her children. There was drug use, violence, and constant lying. He was seeking 50% custody of their very young sons. Attorney Murdock was a passionate advocate, and skilled professional! She finessed the situation, submitted evidence to opposing attorney and just today the judge signed off entirely in my daughter’s favor. She has complete physical custody. My daughter said she knew Ms. Murdock was the right advocate during their first phone call. As the grandmother of these precious boys, I am grateful beyond measure.”
“Estela De Orduna is assertive without being rude or demeaning to the other party. She respectfully, but passionately, addresses the judge.

She protected me as a client but was always rational about the options presented to me concerning my decisions . . .and I highly recommend them for complex family law representation.”
“I was married for eight years and with the woman I divorced for 12. After being with someone for such a lengthy period of time, a person thinks and wants to believe he really knew the person he was with. I made it perfectly clear to my ex-wife, that I didn’t need a lawyer and that I didn’t want our marriage to end up like so many others. I told her that I trusted her and that I only wanted to do my part and help provide for our two young children. I told her that we could use her lawyer to help mediate our divorce, so we could avoid the huge costs associated with two attorneys and court. Her legal assistant recommended that I have an attorney look it over and sign off on it prior to me signing and returning it. This is when I contacted Sara Neumann, Sara reviewed the document, told me that she could sign it and all would be done, but then she threw in the “but…” She told me that she thought the MSA was inappropriate and that my ex-wife’s attorney left much of it unclear. She also told me that she could represent me and add clarity to the document, while making it fair for both of us. After having many sleepless nights and a constant ache in my stomach, thinking I might be making a mistake trusting my ex-wife and having that verified by an expert, I chose to have Ms. Neumann represent me. Ms. Neumann advised and represented me in a professional manner, yet with a personal touch. I walked away from a very emotional scenario feeling that I had the best representation possible”
“A few months into my separation and divorce I realized I needed help navigating the entire process of divorcing and settling custody of my 3 children.

“There are simply not enough words to express my indebtedness to Sara Neumann for giving me my life back. As a mother and a nurse, my life exists to take care of others. “Thank you” seems incomplete or too simplified in an attempt to express my heartfelt gratitude for Sara’s skill in taking care of me and my daughters. I absolutely felt safe and protected for the first time in years. From the moment we met to confer in regards to my high conflict custody case, I felt Ms. Neumann truly heard me and understood the obstacles I was facing in a case that had been in and out of the court system for years. Ms. Neumann’s expertise and respected reputation was evident in how she was received by her peers and ultimately our judge as well. She is an honest and thoughtful lawyer who gave everything in her power to do what was best for me and in this case, my children as well. She was able to completely turn around the manufactured image of me that had been created and presented to the court system by my ex-husband . . . The court FINALLY saw the whole truth and ruled accordingly. Sara MADE the court hear the truth because of her tenacity and penchant for the truth! . . .”

“I endorse Estela De Orduna. I’ve had two cases against Estela and in both cases, she was very firm and aggressive but also very professional.”
“My family and I are so happy we chose Sara Neuman for our step parent adoption. She went above and beyond to make sure that our adoption went smoothly.

“Jennifer Murdock is wonderful attorney! She is knowledgeable, honest, has integrity, and gave great attention to my case. Before I talked to Jennifer, I was overwhelmed, unsure about my legal rights, and my, and my children future. She answered all my questions, explained the process, and advised me every step of the way. I highly recommend Jennifer. She is outstanding attorney, great negotiator and was very pleased with the outcome of my case.”
“My divorce was unusual . . . Sara’s understanding of California law and her exceptional courtroom skills resulted in the court setting the separation year as the time we started living in separate rooms instead of they year I filed for divorce. That determination was critical and resulted in a much more favorable financial settlement for me. Just recently I reached retirement age. I was concerned that I would have to delay my retirement due to the monthly spousal support I was paying. I called Sara and asked if there was any way the monthly support could be reduced. Once again her grasp of California law was evident as she walked me through the process of how spousal support at the time of retirement worked, and how she would be able to petition the court to eliminate my monthly support payment. As expected, my ex-wife brought in her own attorney to fight my petition. Sara fought hard for me during the discovery phase of the case in limiting what was appropriate to turnover and what was off limits. When we went to court my ex-wife and opposing counsel tried to re-litigate the original divorce case, but Sara was relentless in reining them in and sticking to the facts of the original settlement and California law. At the end of the day Sara was able to get my monthly spousal support completely eliminated. Sara Neumann is an amazing lawyer.”
“I truly want to thank Jennifer Murdock, she was absolutely AMAZING! I am so incredibly grateful to have her as my attorney! Jennifer was on it, and she made every possible argument. She did not let the other party get away with ANYTHING! She was incredible! And, Jennifer knew when to give me the support and grab my hand during a very difficult trial. Jennifer’s representation had a major positive impact in our lives. Jennifer truly makes a positive difference in the world. I could not have made it through the trial without her! Jennifer is more than an attorney, she is a true friend and genuine, passionate person who strives for what is truly right. Thank you.”
“I was served an emergency ex parte, and Sara Neumann was able to help me on very short notice. She offered a solution that saved me money, time, and heartache. She is relatable and empathetic, and puts the child first. I highly recommend her.”
