I first…read morereached out to him after being denied a move-away request in San Francisco Family Court in 2024, and I was in a complete panic. He was calm, validating, and realistic about the challenges I was facing, which immediately helped me feel more grounded. He was always easy to work with and highly communicative, typically responding within 24 hours, which made a huge difference during such a difficult time. After reconnecting with him in early 2025, he represented me in a second move-away trial that was successfully granted in early 2026. Sean is honest, detail-oriented, and truly makes you feel heard and supported. He is also very mindful of costs and works efficiently, often checking in about where to focus his time, which I really appreciated. He took the time to thoroughly prepare me for trial, and I felt as ready as possible going into court. I truly can't thank Sean enough and highly recommend him for family law matters. He's the real deal!

I've been working with Sean Joyce for over a year now, and he's been incredible. It's been a very…read moretough divorce and we've dealt with some really difficult/complicated issues. I don't know what I would have done without him. When I first started looking for a lawyer, I worried about two things. That they'd never have time for me, and that they'd drag things out just to rack up costs. Sean has been the exact opposite. We mostly communicate over email and he's extremely responsive. And he genuinely tries to keep costs down and resolve things quickly. What I appreciate most is his calm, level-headed approach. He always tries to resolve things to avoid court. But when going to court is necessary, he's confident and effective. And when we have gone, we've won.

I was searching for a competent attorney as I did not like the guy my wife had used. I found…read moreJonathan on Yelp and went to see him. I found him to be very friendly, easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and very collaborative. Although my Trust was somewhat complex, he answered all of my questions as we pieced the documents together, working as a team. Today I went to meet with Jonathan and a Notary for signing all of the documents. I am very pleased with how all of them turned out. Jonathan is not trying to be some "big shot" expensive attorney in a tall building, but rather a neighborhood attorney there to serve people with a reasonable fee. I can highly recommend Jonathan at Nightingale Legal to anyone looking to create a Trust.

Jonathan Nightingale has been a shining light during some of the most difficult times I have faced…read moreas a mother. Due to my daughter's highly difficult and manipulative father, I was faced with the overwhelming task of having to involve the courts in the custody arrangements. What made things even more challenging, was that my new husband and I were given military orders to relocate to Southern California. This in turn prompted my ex to attempt to stop this from happening and demanding full custody of our daughter. After meeting Jonathan, I immediately felt at ease. Extremely knowledgeable, highly professional and emitting a calm yet confident energy, Jonathan was just what I needed dealing with a highly emotional case such as mine. Jonathan kept me posted and well informed throughout the initial filing, compiling all relevant paperwork and breaking down the process in an easy to understand manner. He took care of submitting all necessary paperwork and handling all unsuspected curve balls thrown by the respondent my ex, and his attorney during this process. After my ex was served with papers and a court date scheduled, he attempted to counter with an emergency order to try and gain full custody & stop me leaving the county. Thanks to Jonathan, his requests were denied and weighted heavily in my favor. Jonathan was very supportive during my times of emotional weakness and always able to provide me with solutions to my worries. I always felt a great deal better after communicating with him about what was happening and what possibilities lie ahead. Unable to come to a resolution with my ex through court ordered mediation, (attorneys not present during the meeting) Jonathan accompanied me to court to hash out the details in front of a judge. Jonathan's calm, confident presentation to the judge and highly intelligent responses to the opposing attorney granted us the opportunity to step out side and negotiate most of the terms recommended by the mediator with one of the most difficult people I have ever come across (my ex). This in its own was a win, if it was up to just my ex and I or even my ex and his attorney, I am confident this wouldn't have been the outcome. Even when there were a couple of protests last minute that the respondent failed to bring up during the negotiation moments before, Jonathan was able to handle the objections in a manner that delivered the fair results I was hoping for and the most beneficial outcome for our daughter. I was granted full Physical Custody, shared Legal Custody with a visitation schedule for her father that suited best the needs of my daughter and in the well being of my family. Hiring Jonathan Nightingale was a huge game changer for me in the legal process. For that reason and more, I will continue to do business with him and to have him represent me in all future matters, not just for Family Law but also with any business and estate planning matters that will likely arise in future. Thank you Jonathan! Monica R.
