Whether you are anticipating the joys of adoption or experiencing the frustrations of marital conflict, the Law Offices of Bruce A. Mandel can help. Bruce A. Mandel has served families throughout California in the South Bay Area, Los Angeles County and Orange County for more than 20 years. We provide legal services in all areas of family law:

Adoption
The Law Offices of Bruce A. Mandel assists families with all aspects of international and domestic adoptions. We handle the legalities of your adoption so that you can concentrate on your new family.

Alimony
Divorce should not lead to financial crises. We help you establish an equitable amount of spousal support.

Child custody and visitation
Our divorce attorneys protect your parental rights to raise your children in an appropriate and supportive home.

Child support
We can ensure that you receive or pay an equitable amount of the financial support required to raise your children in a healthy, happy environment.

Child support modification and enforcement
Child support payments do not change unless the court modifies the child support order. If either the custodial or noncustodial parent experiences a significant change in circumstances, we can guide you through the proper legal procedures to modify your child support payments accordingly.

Divorce
Through mediation or litigation, the Law Offices of Bruce A. Mandel can help you gain the most equitable results from your divorce, including fair distribution of assets, division of marital home, child support payments and child custody rights.

Juvenile delinquency and dependency proceedings
We are skilled at maneuvering through the complex laws of California to protect your parental rights from the interference of government authorities.

Mediation
Mediation puts the decisions in your hands. It can often provide more expedient, more predictable results than a trial can. Bruce A. Mandel is a skilled negotiator who can help you obtain the most equitable divorce settlement.

Pre- and post-nuptial agreements
We expect the unexpected. We draft premarital agreements that protect both spouses’ interests and which can alleviate some of the stress if you ever divorce.
