Law Office of Gary A. O'NeilChild Custody, Visitation & Support Attorney
Kern County, Bakersfield California
First Things First
One of the first things I do as an attorney is to sit down with my clients and establish a trustful relationship. I know that you are anxious and maybe angry that a prior lawyer hasn't listened to you and your needs. I will work closely with you to set goals that we want to achieve in your case. when we focus on results, we initiate more, we react less, and we become much more effective. That’s important! A divorce or custody battle can be highly-charged emotionally. Having a specific set of goals laid out beforehand can keep you from becoming ‘blinded’ by these emotions. But setting goals is only the first step. Doing the Homework
Most cases go wrong well before they get to court. Thorough and in-depth preparation before heading to the negotiating table or the courtroom is vital. When I work with a client, I don’t do it alone. A team approach works best. This means that I work not only with you, but also with investigators and specialists like child psychologists and forensic accountants. More often than not, this kind of approach and thorough preparation pays dividends when it counts. Experience
Working with others and being prepared help a great deal in any case. Ultimately there’s no substitute for experience. For nearly thirty years, I’ve helped clients to satisfactorily resolve their often difficult and complex legal issues. Sometimes this means litigation, sometimes not. In either case, I am a tenacious and effective advocate for your interests. In addition to my work as an attorney, a litigator, local and state bar leader and a family law professor, I have served in many different capacities for various state and local bar associations, published works on family law issues, and taught Continuing Legal Education (CLE) courses on family law subjects. If you are facing a divorce or child custody case and would like to speak with an accomplished and professional family law lawyer, contact me today to discuss your situation.
