Our San Diego Family Law Client Reviews

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Andrella at San Diego Divorce Lawyers. Throughout my divorce proceedings, she demonstrated exceptional professionalism, legal expertise, and clarity in communication, while also showing a level of empathy that is rare in legal representation. What stood out most about Andrella was her approach to listening. She consistently gave me her full attention and allowed me to express myself without feeling rushed or dismissed. At no point did I feel that my thoughts, concerns, or emotions were minimized, invalidated, or judged. She was also very considerate and mindful in her communication style. Being aware of my need to manage legal costs, she kept interactions focused and efficient, ensuring that emails and phone calls were purposeful and consolidated so that expenses were not unnecessarily increased. The office as a whole was highly organized and responsive, operating like a well-coordinated and cohesive team. Communication across staff was seamless, and I always felt that everyone was aligned and on top of the details of my case. I felt supported, respected, and well-informed throughout the entire process. I would confidently recommend Andrella and the team to anyone seeking both highly competent and compassionate legal representation.

I worked with Luis De Luna on a consultation basis and he was so fantastic to work with. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable and very helpful to speak with. I’m truly appreciative of his time. He went the extra mile for me!

I found San Diego Divorce Lawyers through an online search. They were one of three firms I consulted with to find the best fit. I chose SDDL because I appreciated the manner in which they explained the process to me, they weren't pushy and they were cost effective. I wanted a female representative and was paired with Andrella Gonzalez who was such a great fit for me. I was stressed and nervous and needed someone who was empathetic, listened to my concerns and advocated for me at every turn. That was Andrella. She was thorough, trustworthy and highly competent. Her assistant Kirsten was equally as easy to work with and helpful. The team made a challenging endeavor as smooth as possible. I highly recommend them.

I hired Andrella Gonzales to help me resolve a long-standing issue with my ex-wife involving an old IRS tax bill from my divorce. Even though our divorce agreement clearly stated that the tax balance was to be split 50/50, the IRS pursed me alone for the full amount years later. To protect myself and my family from futher action, I ultimately paid the entire $31,000 balance. When I tried to settle the matter directly with my ex-wife, she refused to pay her share - which left me with no choice but to seek legal help. From that moment I contacted San Diego Divorce Lawyers, and was put in touch with Andrella Gonzales, she was exceptional. She took the time to understand the situation in detail, laid out my options clearly, and guided me through each step with confidence and professionalism. Her communication was always timely, thorough, and reassuring. Through the process, Andrella Gonzales advocated firmly on my behalf. When my ex-wife refused to cooperate, Andrella Gonzales prepared for court and ensured we were ready. At the very last minute - the day before our court appearance - my ex-wife finally offered a minimal repayment plan. With Andrella's counsel, I countered with a more reasonable agreement that did not include attorney fee penalties and required a fair monthly repayment. My ex-wife ultimately accepted the offer, and Andrella presented the stipulation to the judge, who approved it. Thanks to Andrella's expertise and dedication, I was able to obtain a fair and enforceable resolution to an issue that had been hanging over me for years. I am incredibly grateful for her work. If you need an attorney who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly committed to her clients, I highly recommend Andrella Gonzalez.

As a fellow attorney, I would highly recommend Puja and her team at San Diego Divorce Lawyers. She is so thoughtful and caring about her clients, and highly experienced at what she does. If a client needs a referral for a family law or divorce matter, she is always top of mind.

I had a wonderful experience with San Diego Divorce Lawyers. From the very beginning, the team was kind, understanding, and patient with me throughout such a difficult process. They took the time to explain every step in detail, which gave me confidence and peace of mind during an uncertain time. What I appreciated most was how approachable and supportive they were. I never felt rushed or overlooked. I actually found them online and decided to take a chance, and I am so grateful I did. The level of professionalism and compassion they showed made all the difference, and I highly recommend them to anyone needing guidance and care through a divorce.

There's something to be said when I ask two of my good attorney friends who they would recommend and without hesitation, mentioned SDDL. My ex and I had a plan on how to amicably end our marriage, but I realized over the course of a year that she had no interest in an equal resolution. Even worse, she didn't center our two young children. I retained SDDL late in the process and they were able to quickly get up to speed and push back. I was thoroughly impressed by everyone there and more importantly, the care and empathy they showed. We also discussed long term strategies beyond the dissolution. If you want a law firm who puts people first, contact them.

From the very first phone call discussing my case and how they can help, SDDL have been exceptional in how thorough they handle things. They show they care, they break everything down, and are very honest about the next steps. I have gone through really hard court hearings during my divorce and custody battle. I knew this time, I couldn't do it alone. Marco took the time to really evaluate my case while showing professionalism and heart for my own situation. Every scheduled meeting, call or email was on time. I appreciate the time this team took to meet and coordinate what would be best for me moving forward. I am beyond thankful for Luis who communicated additionally, so that we were all on the same page. They delivered a trust I thought was lost after my many years going through this. This team is knowledgable and deeply care. I cannot recommend them enough!!

My divorce was contentious and involved a restraining order and supervised visitation. San Diego Divorce Lawyers were the light at the end of the tunnel. Puja and Andrella were always very nice and answered all my questions quickly. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of family law, but they also took the time to explain the process and ensure that I understood it and felt comfortable with everything. They were proactive and anticipated issues before they arose, which proved to be very valuable during the divorce and child custody issues. The billing was very transparent and I felt it was very fair. Not only was I extremely happy with the outcomes they were able to achieve, I felt like they truly cared about me and my daughter. I've recommended Puja and Andrella to several friends and they have been as happy with San Diego Divorce Lawyers as I have been. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a family law attorney.

Highly recommend. Erika Vroom delivered exceptional service. Professional and knowledgeable.

Looking for a divorce lawyer is not easy when you’re in the middle of navigating the actual divorce, where you’re going to live, what your kids are going to be doing, etc. I feel so thankful that I ended up having a conversation with Andrella last year. From the get go she was being helpful, and the most professional lawyer I’ve met. She was so great! She was able to get me almost exactly what I was wanting, and best of all my children are happy.

"I sought Tamra's counsel with regard to a property purchased after marriage. She broke down the issue in such a way that was easy to understand, and she was very respectful of my concerns." "Tamra is an attorney who listens to her clients, and brings calm to even extremely chaotic circumstances."

During my toughest times with figuring out visitation, child support and everything else that goes along with a divorce, all of the staff at San Diego Divorce Lawyers couldn’t have been a bigger help. I knew right away during our initial conversation that Andrella was the person I wanted representing me. I’m so thankful for her attention to detail, and way of explaining everything as it was happening so there wasn’t any guessing on my end. Thank you San Diego Divorce Lawyers.

Reached out to Tamra Lett with some questions a client of mine had. Very responsive and knowledgeable. Was able to have a client to get the information they needed. I Would definitely refer her to my clients that are in need in the future.

I had an extended family issue regarding a shared property. This has been an ongoing issue for years and caused me and my household unnecessary distress. I felt hopeless and unable to enforce rules or hold anyone accountable. Desperate, I consulted with an attorney associate with Divorce & Family Law, Tamra Lett. She was both professional and compassionate towards me. It was clear that her drive and verve for law ensured that I was getting the best information. I feel very fortunate to have landed in her hands.

During a very trying time I was very fortunate to call the right people. From the very first call Diana was very helpful, thorough, compassionate and efficient. I felt I was in the right hands from day one.

I talked to Tamra when I was here, she was super helpful and very easy to talk to. She answered all my questions, and helped walk me through the legal questions I had.
