For eight years, Attorney Don Schweitzer wasn't just known as a family attorney - he was known as one of the most effective deputy district attorneys in Orange County. He has a proven track record of results with a 95% conviction rate in over 70 trials. During his time as a deputy district attorney, he was also a part of the Family Support unit, as well as numerous criminal prosecution units involving complex, difficult issues.
The Schweitzer Law Partners provides top tier legal counsel and representation. We have attorneys certified by the California Board of Legal Specialization in the fields of Family Law and Estate Planning, Trust and Probate law.

They will nickle and dime you for EVERYTHING. I have so far paid over $17k for an uncontested divorce. They even charged me for envelopes... you have 10 days to contest a charge, but with all the charges, this quickly becomes tedious work.
The only thing I have liked is the quick response rate, but since they charge for every email regardlessof how brief...this is how they get you. Nothing is charged at lower than their 20 minute increment (~$65) even if the response likely took less than 5 minutes!

I am so satisfied with my decision on halving Casey Marticorena represent me. She was professional and courteous - I’m thankful she took the time to explain everything to me step by step from the moment I called to the End . I don’t think you could find better attorney . I recommend 100 % she is strong, and smart.

My case just closed after winning a move away case that lasted 3 years, and I couldn't be happier for the result Don and his team brought. He has a great team with high work ethic and respect to their clients. Him and his associate Stephanie fought tirelessly throughout these 3 years and when I received the notice of withdrawal of attorney of record a couple of days ago, I got a bit emotional and felt like I was saying good bye to a good friend. They would answer any of my silly questions I had, and I never had to wait more than 24hrs for the answer. They are compassionate, friendly yet respectful

Save yourself the trouble please this is not a 5 star firm by any means. They are very expensive for a below average representation. Mane(attorney) my girlfriends representative failed to execute many things during court. She is young and extremely inexperienced. Look elsewhere. We were not happy with the results. This is an unbiased honest review.

Thumbs Up! Gold Star! Happy Face! The lawyers at The Law Offices of Donald P. Schweitzer deserve those and much more. After dealing with other lawyers who continued to make a mess of things, Alexandra Smyser and Donald Schweitzer corrected our existing documents and provided sound advice for our estate planning. Give them a call—you can’t go wrong...professional, personable, patient, and a sense of humor.

I want to praise Partner, Patrick Baghdaserians, for his work as mediator at the courthouse. I wish I had found him to represent me during my divorce. He is a much better lawyer than the ones I hired and fired. They didn't help me; he did. He was professional, nice, confident, patient, helpful. I assumed these mediators worked for the court, but he's a volunteer! One more reason to hire him!

I highly recommend Deborah Soleymani for divorce and family law. She is extremely efficient and covers every aspect of your case with a fine tooth comb. She cares deeply and makes you feel as if you have a good friend on your side that has your back. She is very strong when dealing with opposing counsel when needed, and also has a very approachable personality that makes it very easy to converse with her. I believe she is exceptional. In a time when I was very vulnerable, she made my divorce procedure easier and was of great help to me.

Deborah Soleymani assisted my case in 2014. She was the best female lawyer I ever had. She handled all my concerns and issues on time, had the intelligence and compassion to follow through every step of the way and very straight forward with the answers I need to hear. I wish you the best in your career. My best regards to Atty Schweitzer as well. God bless you both !

I would like to contribute my review on an outstanding young lawyer whom I met 3 years ago, who had delivered her distinguished knowledge and skills which precede her appearance. Her excellence and true ethics in law are the rare forms that we no longer easily nor often see in the today's Law Practice. The organizing steps, the thorough follow-ups, the perfect court preparations, the honesty and the flawless professionalism: attorney Deborah Soleymani is one of the shining stars in Law Offices of Donald P. Schweitzer. I was very pleased with her service, and I am proud of Mr. Schweitzer having
