ABC Family Law & Mediation Center - San Diego, California

I had complete confidence in Heidie’s ability to settle my case equitably from the initial consultation. Heidie and the ABC Family Law team were quick to respond when needs arose and efficient in moving the case forward. The firm was mindful of how time was used and money was spent. All matters were handled by Heidie with integrity. What a gift it was to be able to trust my attorney.

If you are looking for a family law attorney, look no further than Lesa Christenson and the team at ABC Family Law. She is not only compassionate and deeply invested, but she also has the experience and sharp legal mind to get you good results. I would be happy to have her in my corner against any San Diego attorney in trial. She is well spoken, knowledgeable and a force to be reckoned with in court.

I found her at all times to put the needs of my child, and myself above her own interests - she tried to save me money wherever possible, and delegated lighter tasks to her associates to keep the fees lower. She does not blow smoke - she is a realist and will tell you her honest assessment- good, bad or ugly. I always felt well informed of my options and in control of the process. I quickly found out that there are a couple different ways that attorneys operate in family law. Some use "shady" tricks or try to skirt the law. This is not the way Lesa and her team operate. You can be assured that they will represent you with integrity and do things the right way. I do believe that the sharp difference in approach by my attorney and that of opposing counsel was a helpful factor throughout the proceedings. It's so hard to really know what you are getting with an attorney before you are really in the thick of it, so I am so grateful to have been referred to Lesa. Multiple times during the process other third parties involved in the court system went out of their way to let me know that I had excellent representation when I told them who my lawyer was. It seems as though they have deservedly developed quite a strong reputation.

Hiring a family law attorney is a massive investment - in the future of your family, and in many cases, financially as well. You owe it to yourself and your family to hire the best, and I believe that when it comes to family law in the San Diego area, there is none better than Lesa Christenson and ABC Family Law.

Lesa Christianson, CFLS, and the team at ABC Family Law did a great job for me during a challenging and complex divorce, and have provided excellent support and wise counsel post-divorce as issues and challenges arose. I could not be happier with Lesa and the team and would recommend them to anyone facing a complex or simple family law matter. They are smart, caring and committed to providing quality and timely services.

Lesa Christenson and her team at ABC Family Law were an absolute wonder. They made sure I fully understood what was going on every step of the way, and any time I had questions or concerns, they were available. I cannot say enough positive things about Lesa (and also Jodi) to describe how amazing my experience with this firm was. Lesa and her team worked extremely hard to make sure I had a winning result in regards to a property settlement with an ex. I could not have asked for better services. From the moment I first called and met with them, until my case was over, I was at ease that I had made the right choice.

I would highly recommend Heidie as your lawyer for Family Law. She has been with my husband every step of the way in his highly complicated child custody case, and I mean complicated. She was always extremely professional, extremely detail oriented, and highly ethical, everything was done on time and she completely blew my husband away during the court hearings. She truly cared about his case and made sure she did her homework to the exact detail. She was also very realistic and never tried to sugar coat the situations so my husband wasn’t blindsided by anything. If you want a successful court case, or the best possible chance. Hire her. If you’re a high profile case, hire her too.

Randi Walker and her team are very professional. Randi is knowledgeable, responsive and experienced. She has good analytical and communication skills. I'm glad that she is representing me and I trust her judgment on how my case should proceed. Thank you, Randi, for your assistance. I highly recommend Ms. Walker and ABC Family Law firm for anyone considering divorce or other legal matters.

Lesa and her team were always professional throughout all of the mediation process. They were understanding and very conscientious during a stressful and emotional time. I am very appreciative and feel fortunate to have hired them. I would highly recommend them.

One of the few professional firms in the generally amateur San Diego divorce market. Blanchet is a stalwart and very experienced professional. She's also very expensive and likely to churn or let a flailing dissolution run amok while on the clock. Perhaps her many years have led her into a rut of "another one bites the dust" family law. "Much heat but little light" for this industry, and Blanchet, though classier than most, still illuminates dimly. It's not hard to stand out as the least dishonest thief in the bunch, and since you have few choices, she's probably less likely to screw up your life than most. Set a budget and tell her you know about the lawsuits against her to keep her honest.

Good luck.
