Mr. Domercq and his paralegals are the best around. He is straight forward, professional, and can present your story in the most detailed, accurate, and compelling manner. He knew exactly how to take the information I gave him and decipher what was important to share, all while keeping me updated with the process, my options, and helping me remain calm. He was able to identify when lies were being told and apply the right amount to pressure to get the truth to surface. He is the person you want on your side. All of the staff is friendly and quick to respond to any questions. They have a lovely

I hired Mr. Domercq almost 3 years ago and he (and his staff) have been absolutely amazing with me throughout our time together. It was a great experience and I cannot recommend them enough. North county is very blessed to have this firm here.

As a Patent Attorney representing myself in Family Court, I was able to prevail in a case against a disreputable Family Law firm that attempted to perpetrate an appalling fraud in furtherance of a conspiracy to extort money from me and usurp my parental rights. It took a couple of years, but I was eventually able to ensnare lawyers Janet Lacy and Jeff Lacy in a web of their own lies and deceit by simply letting them do what they do, and taking good notes.

When they and their client failed to act in good faith after signing my stipulation, I met with Pierre to discuss strategy on a "peer

I have used Pierre twice for modifications to my spousal support order. He, Grier King and the entire staff are professional, knowledgeable and proficient. Pierre worked through the disadvantageous issues with the original orders which were not litigated by him, but came to excellent conclusions both times. If you have a family law issue, he's the one to see, you'll be glad you did.

Pierre Domercq is one of the most highly qualified and professional family-law attorneys in the San Diego area. If he had been my first attorney, instead of my last, my savings of time and money would have been tremendous. I recommend him and no other firms.

I was in a high conflict custody battle that left me in complete disarray. After hiring another "great" attorney who completely failed me, I found Pierre and Rebecca. Lifesavers would be an understatement. My ex had spent 10 years building a case while I thought we were working together for the best interest of our children, to say the least, he had a ton of nit picky stuff to use against me. When I found Pierre he made me feel like I was finally heard, he was so welcoming and actually listened to all the background. Then he decided to bring in the brilliant paralegal Rebecca, she is pure gold

I'd just like to say a huge thanks to Mr Domercq! He spent ample time with me discussing all of my concerns. He was straight forward and to the point (which I appreciate whether I want to hear it or not)! All office staff was so kind and helpful. I felt really comfortable discuss something not so comfortable with Mr Domercq! I high recommend Burke & Domercq

I would highly recommend Burke & Domercq, APC for your family court representation. They were not only forthcoming and super transparent about my ongoing Family Court case, more importantly they confirmed that my existing attorney led me in the right direction and the response from Burke & Domercq would have been the same. This most probably saved me another small fortune in legal fees.

Pierre and his firm are extremely knowledgeable, ethical, supportive, and organized. While going through a very tough divorce recently, I felt strongly advocated for every step of the way. Pierre's experience and knowledge gave me confidence that my case was being handled professionally and expertly from start to finish. This firm is supportive, friendly, and very responsive to calls and emails. I am so glad I had Pierre and his firm represent me. If I ever find myself needing representation in family matters in the future, I will be using them again. Highly recommend!

Dan and Pierre are the best family lawyers. They are extremely knowledgable of the law, they are ethical, appropriately aggressive and well-prepared. My case went to trial. Due to their excellent representation, I was awarded attorney fees.

Pierre is a wonderful attorney and has an amazing staff that supports him! He helped me in my divorce and got me more than I could have asked for. He made sure I wasn’t taken advantage of and made me feel so comfortable through out the process. Every time I was worried about something I was able to call and if it was just a technical question one of his wonderful paralegals (Rebecca) was there to answer and assured me of the process.i have and will continue to recommend Pierre to any and all of my friends who need help!

When the outcome of your case can affect every member of your family, there is no option for anything but the best. Pierre and his support staff were excellent throughout my case. He took the time to understand all the details and offer the best options. He was also able to get me full legal and physical custody, even though California is pro family. I pray I never have to, but I would certainly choose to use this firm again!

Burke and Domercq gave me horrible and advise and ran up my bill to add insult to injury. I went through my emails, which I am happy to forward. For starters, they advised me not to work on a house, which as a result sat empty for over a year. Who has that kind of money? I certainly dont. Everytime I tried to contact them, Domercq was 'out of the office' or in a meeting.' Cha-ching. Cha-ching. Cha-ching. More email charges. I sent my faulty Expense Declaration and Petition for Dissolution to two other attorneys for review. They said they were incomplete. Get a second opinion. Run
