I retained Casey Olsen of Olsen and Olsen in early 2022 to modify our Parenting Plan and address the significant stress and difficulty caused by my co-parent and her counsel. His counsel has been truly exceptional. Casey is a dedicated, intelligent, and highly knowledgeable family law attorney. I was immediately impressed by his ability to quickly devise a strong, strategic approach to my complex case. His extensive experience and excellent reputation within the LA County Court system proved to be invaluable. Thanks to Casey's expertise, my case was successfully resolved after trial, securing an outcome that was truly in the best interest of my six-year-old daughter. He was able to increase my custodial time from 20% to 50%, making future co-parenting decisions much smoother and less stressful. His son, Patrick Olsen, was also a phenomenal asset to my case. Patrick is knowledgeable, respectful, and dedicated, consistently providing careful listening, helpful feedback, and thorough answers to all my questions. Furthermore, the entire office staff was extremely friendly and supportive. I sincerely appreciate their hard work and commitment. For anyone seeking a trustworthy and experienced family law attorney, I wholeheartedly recommend Olsen and Olsen. Retaining Casey was, without a doubt, the best decision I made. read more

I hired Casey because he helped a friend of mine through a divorce with a narcissist. He was her third attorney and the couple were fighting over peanuts. I was open and first interviewed several attorneys before choosing him. I liked him because, during my first conversation with him, he chatted with me over the phone for about an hour. Gave me solid free advice. After hiring him, I had no regrets. I was divorcing a narcissist too, a covert narcissist. If anyone knows anything about narcissism, you will know that they are the most difficult, toxic, and delusional people to get out of your life. At first, my ex (in narc vocabulary we call that Nex) was representing himself Proper. Casey made many attempts to meet with him to help resolve things. To no avail. Because my nex had refused to meet, Casey requested a trial with the courts. Los Angeles County is so backed up that it took 6 months just to get an appointment to meet with the judge to schedule a trial. Then that was another 3-4 months after that where we had a mandatory mediation date scheduled and if we didn't come to a resolution there would be a trial a month after that (I was told 99% of the time, cases get resolved at the mediation). All was finally on-track and then Covid hit and all cases were dropped and canceled. My new court date was in fall 2020 exactly 1 year from my initial request for a trial (obviously, none of this was Casey's fault). Eventually my nex got a lawyer and made bogus claims. Ridiculous, crazy claims that he was entitled to more of my home than he actually was. Casey knows his field. I am beyond amazed how intelligent he is. He taught me that I had a Family Code Section 2640 Reimbursement which is a pre-existing interest in my home (I had no idea). Since I had owned it prior to marriage, had my own money invested into it and it appreciated in value. We had done a remodel to the home before and during the marriage and there were some grey areas as to who owned how much. Casey helped me by having me get a historical appraisal, taught me what a Moores Marsden calculation was, and many other things. (I'm a Realtor and being educated in this has helped me with my own clients going through a divorce too). My nex tried all sorts of games, throwing stuff at us last minute. We were ready to go to trial and Casey had to file a "Motion in limine" which is where you get a judge to throw something out of court based on blatant evidence and proof prior to the trial so you don't spend your time discussing their bogus accusations and attend to the actual issues. Basically, we were requesting the other side's testimony to be excluded. We won that part of my trial because of Casey. If you want someone that is professional, intelligent, comes across with class and poise then Casey is your man. I would say the only room for improvement would be that his assistant would send me info from the other side with no explanation of what they were and I would get upset. It would be nice to be explained how it all works a little more perhaps. That said, not sure if I want to pay for the education. I would recommend Casey to anyone. I honestly feel that he genuinely cared about me. He also picked up on my nex being passive-aggressive. My ex is a "wolf in sheep's clothing". Plays the victim constantly and tries to come across with great effort that he is a model member of society. He literally fake-cried in front of Casey to try to elicit his sympathy. Casey didn't buy it and stood by my side to help me. Even when I just wanted to be out and move on, he reminded me how my nex had treated me the whole time. So that I would fight for what I was entitled to. I appreciated that because even I sometimes would be manipulated and feel sorry for my ex. I have seen a few divorce attorneys and perhaps I'm generalizing but the few I saw, I found quite slimy and dirty. I don't think it's in Casey's nature to be that way. Plus you don't need to be that way if you know the law as Casey does. Also, I think it looks good to the judge too that your lawyer did and does their homework. And behaves professionally with class in and out of the courtroom. Don't get me wrong, Casey can be aggressive and ruthless but in the right ways at the right time. Please feel free to reach out to me for any questions or if you are a victim of narcissistic abuse. I am helping many understand it and heal. And of course, if you need a Realtor to help you with Buying and/or Selling Real Estate, please don't hesitate to call me. Carol Anne Mills-Schmidt 310-701-2486. read more

See all

Like father, like son...both were horrific communicators, greedy and cared nothing of our case or the well being of our children. When in mediation, the mediator had things worked out sort of amicably (or as amicable as possible) with both sides agreeing EXCEPT the Olsens. Horrific amount of money wasted and an abuse of the system that should help protect and work with the divorcing couple on what works best for THEM not the lawyers pocketbooks. I would never recommend unless you want your money lining their pockets. Neil must be enjoying his place in hell. read more

Where do I begin....I had the lamest divorce ever like you would have thought that I was married to some famous basketball player. No, just a dead-beat Dad. We had: Domestic violence, verbal and physical abuse, husband went on disability, threatening to quit his job so he wouldn't have to pay me, bills were not being paid (including mortgage so house was in foreclosure and we were almost homeless), 3 kids (one-a newborn baby), stay at home mom, No career, an immigrant...I had hired a previous lawyer that didn't do anything to help me. 20k just for that lame attorney. Gratefully, I was referred to Casey by Accountant Ron J. Anfuso and let me tell you, I....was....completely BLOWN AWAY!!!! Casey came to my rescue like (character in a story). He was straight forward, no games, very grounded, he knew precisely how to handle my abusive husband. He charged me a reasonable price, stopped THE INSANITY and made my nightmare end. I didn't have to worry about ANYTHING with Casey. He met with my ex and saw right though him like a psychic with a crystal ball. He knew exactly what was going down. And after 3 miserable years of playing games for NO MONEY to be had just for the pride and jealousy of my ex, he got my ex to settle for a more than reasonable arrangement. I have The utmost respect and admiration for Casey. I would refer her him to ALL my friends and associates NO QUESTIONS Asked. Feel free to message me for any questions. I wholeheartedly recommend Casey Olsen for ALL of your divorce needs. Thank you Casey! I just referred my Best Friend to you, because I know she will be in good hands with you, too!! read more

Casey Olsen is the best family law attorney you can have. He is knowledgable, sharp, and an amazing family law strategist. He understands what's important and "keeps your eye on the ball". He is powerful in a courtroom. Knows a lot of folks at the courthouse. He is very effective. He also cuts through the fodder and hubris of the other side very quickly and again keeps you focused on the priorities. He understands your emotions, but knows what is important and effective for progress in court and with the opposing side. This helps focus your and his energy on what's important and disallows needless time or energy in to what does not matter. He also does not descend into acrimony with opposing counsel keeping the proceedings in creative solutions mode. He also injects hope and humor in what could be one of the most challenging circumstances of your life. He is a good "point of the arrow" in your charge to get what is rightfully yours in a divorce proceeding and to preserve what is rightfully yours. I could not recommend Casey more highly as I have personally witnessed his effectiveness. read more

As most divorces, it's like a puzzle that has to be put together to show the whole picture. Casey navigated me masterfully through this maze with his experience insight and wisdom. I needed a Forensic Accountant, Property Appraisal Professional and an Eviction Attorney. When it came to the settlement hearing we had all of our ducks in a row and we were ready for whatever the Beverly Hills opposing council tried to claim. The judge saw that they really didn't have much of a case or argument and we were able to settle. I was hoping that this would be an all inclusive agreement so I didn't have to pay alimony and deal with my ex-wife again so we both could move on with our lives and that is what Casey achieved. I cannot express how happy I am that this huge weight lifted off my back. Thank you Casey and your staff. read more

I have never written a negative review about anything or anyone but i feel it very necessary. Divorce is so painful on its own and when you hire an attorney that absolutely does not care one bit about you and makes you feel inferior and unworthy of asking questions and receiving answers then the experience is devastating. Casey Olsen has yet to even contact me, has not even let me know that my divorce is finalized. How did i find out? I found out online by checking on my case myself . Only to see that he had removed himself from my case ..what did that mean? I had no idea. So i made several panicked phone calls before finding out that yes, i was divorced. This was in the beginning of January and still zero paperwork from him, zero communication for months, he never had the decency as my attorney to even tell me that my divorce had been finalized . He is in the wrong business and i warn anyone thinking of hiring him, think twice. My experience with him was awful, it was shocking. I hired him to walk and guide me through one of the most heartbreaking experiences of my life and he abandoned me and treated me as if he was doing me a favor. Be warned! I only hit one star because i was required to by Yelp, my star rating is a 0. read more

Casey Olsen is a terrific attorney. He handled my daughter's very difficult divorce from her now ex-husband. Casey was extremely caring and professional and always answered our questions. He kept us updated and explained what was going to happen next. My daughter said she never felt rushed or felt bad about having to ask so many questions and that Casey took the time to be sure she understood the entire process. In the courtroom is where Casey really shines. He's a professional and handled the case the way you would want it handled. His staff was also friendly and very professional. We are very satisfied with the results and would certainly recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent divorce attorney. Ken P. read more

DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON. Casey Olsen was my attorney for four years. Because of him my case is still ongoing. He REFUSED to file the final agreement that my ex-husband and I worked really hard to complete. He is greedy, disorganized and condescending. I filed malpractice against him - but because of him - I had no money left to finish the case. read more
