Update 12/15/25 I do NOT recommend working with this firm at all. They have internal conflicts where the attorneys say one thing and the office says another. I really wish I never signed up with them it’s Ben a bad experience and I’m already $50k+ and yet divorce is not even half over. Complete joke! I am midway through my divorce process and it has been so so. They are nice and friendly, my lawyer is very knowledgeable, her team has been great nothing to say there although I have nothing to compare it to it’s my first divorce. I have had two problems with my experience so far. #1 there is no lawyer emergency response number to call when it’s the middle of the night and I need a lawyers help immediately. (Assault). #2 I’ve already paid them over $20,000 but when my trust fell negative for two weeks they sent me a formal letter saying they were dropping me as a client. That pissed me off. I’m going through a divorce, selling my house etc, I am already 20k invested, I’ll get you your damn money and pay you just like I religiously have. There is no mercy with this company and that’s messed up, they don’t even offer payment plans or anything like that. Also, they call me multiple times a week to ask me for more money. It’s not like I magically got paid the day before and am withholding money from them because I don’t want my divorce to go through. I don’t think it’s too difficult to ask that they work with me.

They turned me down when I told them that my wife cut me off from marital assets. They didn't seem to understand that they could have helped me by issuing basic court orders. They only have your back if you have money up-front, it seems.

Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. I hired this firm for the first 1.5 years of my divorce process. During that time I was assigned three different lawyers. The first two were incompetent and fired/pulled from my case. The third lawyer was much better, but left for another practice (where I followed him). This law firm has extremely high turn over rates with all positions, so I assume it is poorly managed and has low morale. Expect Reel Fathers to keep the bills coming and constantly harass you by phone/email/text for payment. Don’t expect them to quickly answer legal questions or concerns. I am still waiting for my retainer balance to be sent nearly 2 months after firing them. In Summary, very expensive considering their services are poor and sometimes even embarrassing in court.

I had the experience of sharing my situation with Ms. Yvonne. She was very professional and so informative and at the end of my consultation, I felt so relieved. With her insight, and reassurance of what could be done on my behalf, I feel much more confident moving forward. I highly recommend Reel Fathers Rights to anyone in need of such wonderful customer service. Thank you Ms Yvonne.

The law firm committed what it describes as “mistakes” that resulted in substantial damage to the case, to me, and to my children. There is comprehensive and thorough documentation of how egregious this firm’s conduct has been throughout their representation of me. Presently, the firm is derelict in fulfilling its legal obligation to me as a client in a manner that implies systemic and widespread potential for malpractice across hundreds of cases at this very moment in time. If you have retained this firm, you are potentially, presently at risk the same behaviors exhibited in my case are occurring right under your nose, including deliberate and intentional conduct on the part of your attorney that undermines your interests, violates your rights, and in some cases, your attorney could be openly lying to you about the work being done. I have even been invoiced for work that the then managing attorney openly admitted there is no record whatsoever that any of the work I was being billed for, had actually been completed. Anyone who wishes to review these records, please feel free to message me. There are a large number of individuals in Southern California who are interested in filing a class action lawsuit against defendants, including Mark Reel of Reel Father’s Rights.
