Jesse - Encinitas, CA

"At first I figured I would handle my divorce case on my own and realized after the first hearing that I needed to get some legal help. I was referred by a friend to Men's Legal Center and after our first consultation; I was blown away by how much they understood my divorce situation. Not only were we able to work together as certain events started to unfold, we were able to find solutions and plan a course of action that would benefit me and my family. I was never once abandoned or over charged. If you are like me you know it is difficult to trust an attorney, but now I recommend Men's Legal Center's services to everyone."

They just kept making sure that I had the same rights since I have always been supportive of my family's needs."

David - Chula Vista, CA

"I want to take this opportunity to express how impressed I am with you and your staff, specifically Dianne Jones. She contacted me the night before our appointment to ensure I was going to be taken care of when I arrived at your office. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and organized. Four qualities I definitely appreciate. She is on top of things (for lack of a better word) and informative. I walked out of your office feeling confident and assured. Thank you for the peace of mind. The atmosphere in your office allows one to feel relaxed and supported. I'm glad I made the decision to retain your services and will recommend you and your office to anyone I know. Thanks again."

Mr. Candelore and the Staff of Men's Legal Center

"It has been almost 12 years since I used your services, and I apologize for being late on this word of thanks. I want to thank all of you for the professional and personal attention you gave to my case. I was told in the beginning that with your tenacity and knowledgeable handling, I would see an end to the legal battles from my divorce. And you were right. It was a lot of work and emotionally tiring, but in the end the battle was won, not just for the moment but for the years to come. Something I think future clients should think about very seriously, things like this can go on forever when there is no reason. I also want to say that because of the determination of Mr. Candelore and his staff my future relationship with my son was stronger and I will always be grateful for that. Again thank you for the special attention you gave my case and I will continue to refer friends to your firm. Also, Craig, thanks for your sacrifice and commitment to our country."

Warmest regards,

Tom - Whidbey Island, WA

"My ex-wife made horrendous accusations against me in Family Court; it was very ugly. Attorney Candelore diligently and meticulously worked up my case and showed my ex-wife's allegations were false. You saved my neck! I highly and unequivocally recommend Attorney Candelore. He is smart, aggressive, straight forward and honest."

Edward - San Diego, CA

"May God continue to bless you in your giving. For the blessing of God is far better than the gifts of man. Many thanks."

Racel - Orange County, CA

"Thank you for being well prepared, tenacious, and willing to go the extra mile."

James - San Diego, CA

"The Men's Center is a great family law office that knows how to handle tough cases. Our issue was handled by two attorneys at the firm and they took care of us. They walked us through our options and each decision of the case as it progressed. Craig and Lisa are experienced and I cannot thank them enough. Anyone who has had a family law issue can tell you that working with the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) can be a nightmare. They can also tell you how out of control a family law case can become without a good attorney. Always get an attorney who knows what they are doing, I am glad I did."

Renee -Scripps Ranch, CA

"Dianne and Craig are both supremely professional and helpful. During the whole process to date, they have respected my wishes as far as how I want to proceed with my case by providing sound legal counsel that is in line with my intentions. At first things were civil and polite but quickly turned ugly, as divorces are prone to doing. When they did, Men's Legal Center was right there backing me 100% with the confidence and assurance that comes with practicing law for so long. So far they have already paid for themselves. The costs of going with a less expensive (read: less experienced) would have far outweighed the (already affordable and reasonable) retainer and legal fees.

I cannot stress enough the amount of relief I get when things start to get stressful with my divorce by simply calling them or going to their office downtown. At every step they have been prepared and have come up with a plan of action appropriate to the situation. They have never come across as bloodsuckers or cutthroat. They are, quite simply, the most professional, competent, intelligent and understanding legal team I have ever had the pleasure of working with. They were recommended to me by a co-worker who was going through something similar and I will definitely point anybody who has any legal issue in their direction."
