Attorney Gerard A. Falzone was born in New York City, but grew up in the Los Angeles, California area. Gerard has been fiercely interested in justice from an early age, and decided in the 3rd grade to become an attorney, to fight for fairness and justice for his clients.

Mediation is an increasingly popular way for couples to settle family law disputes without the emotional and energetic drain of the courtroom. As a mediator, I do not take sides; rather, I work with both parties as a neutral educator and facilitator, informing them about common court practices and rulings and helping them to determine the most wise and fair means of settling every aspect of their divorce and/or child custody disputes.
Why would you need a paternity attorney? California couples having children while not married who do not subsequently marry, are subject to the paternity laws of this state. A paternity action involves Court proceedings that determine the paternity of the father if that is an issue, and also decide child custody, visitation and child support issues.
My divorce clients have often commented on how easy and relatively inexpensive it is to get married, and how difficult and relatively financially costly it is to get divorced. It is a fact of life that about one-half of all marriages end in divorce. Therefore, while no one gets married with the expectation of getting divorced, everyone who gets married should know how their marriage will effect their legal rights and responsibilities.
During my more than 25 years of family law practice, I have met with and counseled hundreds of men and women considering a separation and divorce from their spouse. Very often these people have misconceptions about how California law applies to their financial and legal situation. Often they have formed their opinions from friends who previously went through a divorce and then counsel them like they are experts in California law.

Gerard Falzone is an extremely fair, competent, knowledgeable, organized and passionate Family Law Attorney. While divorce is never easy, I was fortunate enough to have worked out most of the terms and conditions of my Marital Settlement Agreement in advance - but without Mr. Falzone's council through the intricate, detailed and information-rich process required to meet the standards of the court, I would have been lost. At the end of the process, Mr. Falzone drafted a thorough and comprehensive MSA that I'm entirely confident reflects the agreements (and protects all family member rights
