Whitmarsh Family Law, PC - Los Angeles Family & Divorce Lawyer

We had multiple cases to face while Michael was representing me, and we literally won all of them. He maintained good communication an always worked with me when it came to money. Not once did he stress me about paying him etc. He fought for my daughter and I, and I could not thank him enough. It was a very stressful situation for many reasons, and having Michael represent me made me feel at ease, ESPECIALLY after the first hearing and seeing how well he prepped etc. We went up against a "high rated" attorney etc with a great amount of experience, and it looked like Michael was the one with decades of experience and confidence. I highly recommend Michael! Thank you all from Michael to his amazing office staff! This year battle has finally concluded because of a job well done!

It was recommended to me to contact Michael and I am so thankful I did. This was my first time hiring a lawyer and had a lot of questions. Michael was honest, upfront and direct from the very start to the end. I felt supported throughout my case and trusted his guidance. I would recommend his services to anyone and will not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

We have been trying for months to get Michael to pay for his court reporting bill and he has completely ghosted us. Could someone from your firm please give me a call to pay your bill?

Working with Michael was one of the worst professional experiences- filled with unmet deadlines, unanswered emails and calls and a lot of anxiety for me. We were working to make amendments on a family document and spoke on the phone and had a Zoom meeting in November 2023. We agreed to have everything finalized before end of year. That did not happen. After many extensions of the deadline and a promise to complete the document two months after the initial deadline, he simply did not deliver and just refunded my money. It was a complete waste of time and an emotional rollercoaster every time he promised to deliver and then simply failed to. The whole process was extremely unprofessional and disappointing.

Michael was a very strong advocate for me and a good communicator. His advice was always sound and law-based. He worked with me to get me the best deal possible. Very responsible and always does what he says he's going to do.

I went to Michael after two years of very difficult divorce procedure and I wish I had come to him earlier. Prior to talking with Michael I literally had lost hope in the fact that some lawyer still do this Job for the beauty of it and not just to empty client's bank account. Michael takes the necessary times to understand where you are at and your current needs. What I appreciated the most is that he does not forget that you are what matter the most and in that sense he won't advised you to go through a painful long and expensive procedure if he feels that it would compromise with your mental health. He will expose to you what you're options are and propose to you different solution. It's still ultimately your choice to pursue a procedure or not but having a choice is not always a given in any attorney-client relationship. To circle back to my intro, I really wished I had met and hired Michael Whitmarsh at the start of my procedure, I feel like if that had been the case I would may have actually get a fair divorce judgement or at least someone would have truly fight for my case. I literally had more relevant infos in a two hours consultation with Michael than in 6 months procedure with my previous lawyer If you are the underdog no hesitation there, Michael will be even more on board. I would go back to him if needs be for sure even though i'm hoping to never have to go through divorce again.

I cannot speak highly enough of Whitmarsh Family Law. Michael has continuously gone above and beyond to provide the best service for me. When I first retained Michael as my attorney I was in a really tough spot and needed some legal help on an extremely tight timeline. He was able to make time for me right away and I was in his office preparing paperwork and within a couple hours of contacting him. He continued to work on my case well into the evening to make sure that everything was done correctly and ready to be filed with the court in the morning. He walked me through the process step by step and made sure I understood and was comfortable with each decision. He has continued to provide this level of service for almost 2 years now as my case continues to progress. He promptly responds to any emails or calls and is very good about checking in with me from time to time to make sure I don’t have any questions or need anything. From his work it is obvious the amount of care and attention he puts into everything he does. I have been impressed with his skills when arguing in court, his writing skills, and his overall ability to see the big picture of a case and formulate a long term strategy that best serves me. He spent several long days in the courtroom with me on my case and having him arguing my side made me feel comfortable and certain that I was going to get the best possible result.
