Family Law Areas of Expertise

Domestic Violence

Knowing how to protect your rights and safety when domestic violence has or is occurring in your home is vital to your case. We work with you to understand all the facts of your case to create a strategy that will not only present a strong case but also protect your rights and safety.

Child Custody

Child Custody can be an emotional experience for not only the parents but the children as well. Having a firm understanding of the many different factors the California Family Courts look for when determining custody of minors gives you a solid foundation for developing your case.

Child Support

Child support comes from the belief that every child has the right to be financially supported by both parents when possible. While California Family Courts generally follow a guideline for determining the amount of support a parent must pay, there are many factors which can affect the court’s decision. We have represented clients just like you to present a strong case for why support should be awarded or to challenge unfair support orders.

Divorce

Marriages in crisis command thoughtful, insightful guidance to reach a resolution. Every matter we handle is unique relative to the individuals involved pertinent to their personalities, lifestyles, family situation, and the complexity of the issues involved.

Taking a multi-dimensional approach, we work diligently to apprise our clients of all the options available to them and pursue whatever avenues necessary to bring your case to a successful conclusion.

A true professional... Mr. Hopper has been a great attorney and I am truly grateful for his assistance. He has been nothing but professional and is a great communicator and quite kind. I am impressed by his judgment and several other qualities. I would not consider another attorney should similar matters arise in the future.

Seasoned Reliable Practitioner Michael was hired to help with a case involving two cross-border jurisdictions. An amount of undue stress, frustration and mental/financial cost was unfortunately beyond normal, largely due to us having to deal with an extremely dishonest opposing side, whose counsel (a gentleman named Gaurav Bali) in a counter motion was close to facing the judge and get sanctioned due to his unethical/illegal actions on this case (which included them faking the evidence, as well as illegally subpoenaing my former employers and financial institutions). Amidst all of this, Michael was the one who actually helped manage this mess, providing much needed clarity and guidance as to what to do and how to sanction them. I plan on further retaining (and working with) Michael going forward, and highly recommend him as a person/professional with the highest standard of integrity.

Kimberly is Caring and Professional. I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking legal counsel in the matter of family law. Kimberly is currently my attorney in an ongoing legal case. She is a great person to work with while I am going though this very difficult time in my life. She is knowledgeable on every matter I have brought to her and has even spoke with other attorneys in her firm to make sure we are taking the best steps for the most beneficial outcome. Kimberly is very deliberate with her time and that is a huge blessing since family law attorney are usually paid on an hourly basis. Most importantly to me is that I can tell she genuinely cares about the outcome of this case and she is in this field to represent people she can help. She is worth every cent of what she charges and likely more. With her efficiency and the knowledge she brings, you will have a better outcome in less time than it would take most attorneys to get.

Extremely talented Divorce and Family law Attorney I believe my divorce would rank high on a scale of difficult and intense cases. Jason helped me navigate the many ups and downs that I faced during my journey. He is extremely knowledgeable of the law, and he always knew what the next best steps were to be taken. I truly appreciate the guidance and professionalism that he provided to me during a trying time in my life, and cannot thank him enough for his continued support many years later. I am certain that Jason is at the very top of his game.

She is smart, driven, strategic, knowledgeable, prepared, detail oriented and fast. She is aggressive when she needs to be and fair and compassionate when needed. She is also very responsive, very involved and passionate about success. She is a fantastic advocate to have on your side in a complex situation.

I had a long tough divorce that took over 5 years to resolve. I had a difficult financial situation with a business I started during marriage and many financial ups and downs. My ex wife made many false claims and unfair accusations. Kim saw through all this and plotted a path to success. Before engaging Kim, I went through two other lawyers, so I had a good basis to compare her performance. My previous lawyers were slow and barely involved. They would not understand the issues and ramble on endlessly.

Kim is nothing like that. At one point there was a need to get a critical agreement signed in just two hours. She made it happen! At other points we needed to work while she was travelling. She did so and still ensured all the details were right.

Few matters in life, outside of health matters, have as much impact on you life as a divorce. Choosing a good lawyer for this, is very hard, but also very critical. I whole heartedly and highly recommend Kim to anyone that needs one.

Super Lawyer Jason was fantastic. He was extremely patient, professional and knowledgeable. My ex spouse was contentious and rigid. Jason provided with excellent guidance and was willing to go to bat for my kids whenever needed. He turned a truly difficult case into a positive experience.

Very friendly empathetic and knowledgable I hired Mr. Strebe for a very complicated divorce and custody case. I was amazed by his availability and responsiveness. When really needed, he would even help on the weekend. His experience with family law is extensive. He always put my interests over his, which included optimizing the work to save on attorney fees even if he made lesser money in the process. His understanding of how the other side may think is amazing. Highly recommended.

Smart, upfront, and a brilliant attorney! I hired Kim a few months after a default judgment relating to falsified and distorted claims filed by my ex-girlfriend in response to a longstanding dispute.

After a muddling breakup, my ex-girlfriend refused to acknowledge our agreed-upon arrangement of property. To quash my claims, she filed various inflammatory accounts of abuse hundreds of miles from my feasible vicinity. On my very first call with Kim, she immediately saw through the accusations as confounding by design. Whereas many reputable attorneys, unable to digest the sea of information, provided me with faulty guidance, Kim recognized the reality of the dispute and was able to structure the best path forward. I hired her on the spot over the first call.

At our first trial, she thoroughly outclassed the opposing counsel and ultimately paved the path towards an ideal settlement. She is a constant advocate and I leave her practice feeling wholeheartedly indebted.

I trust Kim's experience! Kim has been helping me through my child custody case. Kim has been great to me. She tells me exactly what needs to be done and I trust her experience. She answers all my questions and gives me clear answers. She has also been very patient which I appreciate. My case is still ongoing but so far she has helped me to get time with my kids that I want. She seems to really know her stuff and I enjoy her attitude in court.

Determined on Behalf of Her Clients In 2014, in the midst of a tough divorce and international separation from my children, I had the fortune of meeting with and retaining the services of Kimberly Lewellen. Kimberly quickly helped me understand the issues that lay ahead for a single Father who is seeking shared custody. As this is an uphill challenge for Fathers, I deeply appreciated Kimberly's direct, yet clear and considerate insights.

Kimberly's expertise in defense of Fathers is noteworthy. We were able to establish both legal and physical custody rights locally, however we did have a difficult time getting my ex spouse to comply with the judgment. It's a unique situation to have a counselor who clearly understands divorce and custody matters from a Fathers perspective. That truly helped matters along the way.

One aspect that drew me to her services and still remains to this day, is that Kimberly engages on your behalf with a steel focus to demand what is in the best interest of her client, while maintaining dignity in her efforts. It was important to me to find an attorney that would support my case by managing it with a level of decency and care considering that there were children involved. Kimberly was able to deliver on that as well, and I was able to walk away from my legal matter at peace with my results.

I am confident in my recommending Kimberly Lewellen for counsel on Child and Family legal matters.

On Point Kimberly is an excellent attorney. Throughout my volatile and often emotional mediation process, Kimberly remained diligent and professional. She was prepared, direct and assertive. Her knowledge, experience and proven credibility was invaluable toward reaching a good outcome. Kimberly brought a rational perspective to an often irrational negotiation. I appreciate her counsel and leadership.

Saved my startup amidst a divorce storm! Kim took my case from day one with all the facts in mind and worked toward my end goal with their CPAs and team members. She fought hard to get me the settlement I needed to continue to run the business I founded during my marriage. If you are looking for a key partner to help you navigate the murky waters of divorce and business continuity then Kim is just right for you.

Highly recommended!
