San Diego Divorce & Family Law Attorneys

“I recently retained The Men’s Legal Center for their advice in the termination of a relationship. They gave me excellent advice and support, and I am very satisfied with their services. It has been very reassuring to have the Men’s Legal Center in my corner and representing me during this difficult time. THANK YOU MEN’S LEGAL CENTER!”

“A truly phenomenal group of professionals. My paralegal Dianne and my attorney Mr. O`Rosky far exceeded my expectations to the outcome of my case. They were respectful,kind and caring to say the least. Long story short,they got the job done and Im able to move on with my life. I strongly recommend the Mens Legal Center and their most knowledgeable staff.”

“My divorce process is ongoing and it will be some time before I am able to entirely review it. That being said, there are many dimensions to divorce. While objectively considering the legal, social, and financial issues it becomes obvious that a professional and experienced firm is absolutely necessary for self-preservation . My selection of Men’s Legal Center was based on reviews and recommendations carefully gathered regarding their expertise and their outspoken position on Men’s Rights in the matter of divorce. I found the most powerful element of divorce is an emotional one. Feeling guilt and remorse left me ripe for giving away everything in negotiation and leaving myself with essentially no financial future. This is a truly dangerous mindset and unfortunately probably somewhat ubiquitous among men. I had put off the process because of it and when I finally entered the office for the first session with the Senior Paralegal whom I will refer to as “D”. We began the paper-work process and in a very short time, for the first time in years, I began to feel like I wasn’t alone and could get through this thing. A tremendous weight fell away from me. Thanks Men’s Legal Center and a special Thanks to “D”.”

“I went to Men’s Legal Center because of their specialty of defending men from the stereotypes of being the bad parent. I could not be more pleased with my decision. I am a father of two boys and a husband of a cheating wife. Mike and Dianne have been my life savers from being completely ruined. The woman is always the one who gets everything. After hearing my story they were confident that I would not be the stereotypical man and get everything taken from me. I now have full physical custody of my sons with visitation right to mom. I am providing one year of spousal support just to be considerate of her human rights and needs and not throw her in the gutter. Mike and Dianne have far exceeded my expectations. They are ruthless when they need to be and listen to all my concerns. Their support is always there and they bring a lightheartedness to the table so I don’t feel like my life is ending with this divorce. Instead it feels like I am finally getting my life back. I would recommend Men’s Legal Center to anyone who needs family legal advice. In particular Mike O’Rosky and Dianne Jones.”

“This office was recommended to me by a close friend and working with then I can see why 🙂 They are fantastic and support to all my needs. My paralegal was wonderful young “Dianne Madison Jones” who I would highly recommend.”I am a father of two boys and a husband of a cheating wife.

“Men’s Legal Center, Family Law Advocates are outstanding! In our case we are a father’s family taking care of our daughter/granddaughter. We were being bullied by the mother and her rude nasty attorney. Men’s Legal Center stood up for dads rights quick fast and in a hurry, mad props to their staff especially Trish Keely.”

“The Men’s Legal Center, and specifically attorney Mike O’Rosky and paralegal Dianne Madison Jones, are effective and compassionate and they get results. My divorce and custody dispute was resolved with far better results than I had anticipated, and the advice I received was perfect for my objectives. It’s easy to get worked up and emotional through these matters but Mike and Dianne are realistic and pragmatic, and they know the SD family courts inside and out. They kept me focused and on point and we stayed out of court as much as possible. I would recommend the Men’s Legal Center to anyone in need of family law advice.”

“Many attorneys will take on any case just for the work, but the Men’s Legal Center isn’t just some law firm. I was researching who could take on my complicated “Family Law” case. These guys are specialist when it comes to working with fathers in divorce. In my case, we settled many aspects up front in the process, didn’t even have to take it to trial and I owe it to sound advice from this office. Now I’m on a fair parenting plan and got my new life started. I am happy I went to the Men’s Legal Center.”

“I have to Thank the staff at the Men’s Legal Center for there expertise and experience of family law. Within my first meeting I was able to solidify a strategy that worked out very well for my family. Wayne and the staff are really good at what they do. If you need family law advice, these are the attorneys to come visit.”

“Men’s Legal Center was instrumental in helping me- My brother’s wife took out a restraining order against him as a divorce tactic. He then violated it, was arrested, and got into a huge legal tangle. His “story” got lost in the legal system and I contacted Men’s Legal Center for counsel. He was released from probation early and this gross misuse of a restraining order is now put to rest.”

“The Men’s Legal staff has, from my initial email back in February, provided an incomparable degree of reliability and an overall feeling of relief. Being deployed to Afghanistan leaves a Marine feeling that there is no way to take care of his legal dilemmas when the provided base legal is not available. The Men’s Legal team did more than help me resolve my dissolution of Marriage they listened to whole background and worked with me on a one-on-one level to accomplish my goal set of taking care of everything before my re- deployment back to the States. No one wants to return home to more problems after a year spent down range, Men’s Legal is the reason why I don’t have to worry about that anymore. Ms. Gurley and Mr. Rice kept me updated weekly on all updates to my case via email overcoming our communication hurdles with ease and also kept members of my family informed when reaching me was next to impossible. Their level of professionalism and reliability is unmatched to any other firm. To date I have yet to be able to thank the team face to face for their continued support and ultimate dissolution of marriage. Thank you all and I look forward to meeting you on U.S. Soil.”

“Men’s Legal Center understands that fathers and men need good representation in family law. They walked me through my case and gave me the advice I needed to settle my legal issues. The owner Craig is a person who cares about families and always supports children having equal access to both parents. In my case I had to fight for fair custody, and thanks to my attorneys at the Men’s Legal Center, I am able to see my children.”

“My experience with Men’s Legal Center was thorough, efficient and brilliant. I was provided with excellent service and everyone was very supportive while I was experiencing difficult times. Most importantly I was impressed by their sensitivity when I shared every detail of my concerns and they were accessible every step of the way.”

“My appointment with Dianne (paralegal for Mr. O’Rosky) at the Men’s Legal Center was absolutely great. She made me feel very at ease through the entire process. She answered my questions quickly and made suggestions effortlessly. Mr. O’Rosky was also very easy to talk to and very professional. I would highly recommend retaining the services of the Men’s Legal Center.”

“THANK YOU! I appreciate everything you have done for me. I am so grateful for your services because I do not know where I would be without you by my side. You are a valuable resource for father’s fighting for their children.”

“From the moment I walked into their office I knew I was in the right place. Beginning the process with Lisa Berg was very professional, but caring to my family’s needs. The best part was they were able to get me through the roughest time in my life. I am just glad it is over!”

“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.”

“Recently, I had a case that was resolved due to the expertise and knowledge from the professionals at the Men’s Legal Center. I appreciate everything you have done and very happy with the results.”

“I know I could not have done it without you. You guys are amazing! Thank you for all the hard work and understanding. It was a pleasure working with Mike O’Rosky. If we need you in the future, we will not hesitate.”

“Earlier this year I was represented by Wayne Rice in a divorce matter and I have to say that he did an excellent job on my case. I was so impressed with him and want to thank you for everything.”

“I feel so fortunate to have had Lisa Berg on my side. After our consultation I felt confident and secure, and immediately trusted her to handle my case. The outcome from Men’s Legal Center’s services exceeded my expectations.”

“I just wanted to say a much deserved thanks for all your hard work and efforts regarding my case. You were great about returning calls, emails and all correspondence. You took the time to answer my concerns and questions and handled the case in a step-by-step strategy that made me believe in you and your firm. I felt reassured in knowing that “Win or Lose” your firm had covered all the bases. I do not say this lightly when I say having you represent me was money well spent.”

“It is almost like I can breathe again. It is finally over! I can honestly say I have never felt so at ease. Although divorce is hardly ever simple or pleasant, and Men’s Legal Center team always kept me informed, helped minimize cost and negative impact on our children.”

“Thanks Men’s Legal Center! I ask a lot of questions especially when I do not understand, but talking to you I felt like your willingness to answer questions through this life changing event was above and beyond what I expected. It sure makes the process easier when I have all the information I need to make informed decisions. With your help and patience I was able to get more time with my children.”

“Lisa Berg was able to achieve more than I could possibly imagine. Anytime I am with my daughters I am reminded that I remain forever in debt to her. I am able to be a parent and be part of children’s lives because of all the hard work and persistence. They just kept making sure that I had the same rights since I have always been supportive of my family’s needs.”

“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.”

“Wayne – Good morning. I wanted to thank you and your team of dedicated professionals for providing outstanding service towards my case. I would be lost without you guys. Because of your team, I received a quick resolution and a more than satisfactory results in my hearing!! Thanks again!!”

“I want you to know it is an incredible treat to sit back and watch you do your magic in the courtroom. Thank you for making my bad situation so much better.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”
