Hands down, the worst experience I have ever had with a lawyer and THE WORST experience with a local business. These people are thieves! The only thing they care about is money. After spending thousands of dollars, I found out that my court papers were never filed. I was flabbergasted! I did a better job by myself. In addition, when Donald or his associates had the chance they fueled the fire with my spouse. I felt like I was not only fighting with my spouse, but Donald Schweitzer himself. After reading several of these posts, I now realize his law office is just DYSFUNCTIONAL. I also (finally) looked up Donald Schweitzer on the California Bar Association website. I can't believe that he is actually practicing FAMILY LAW. Shocking! Run don't walk away from these people. I am sorry I didn't do my research first! http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/Member/Detail/166412. January 10, 2003 DONALD PHILIP SCHWEITZER [#166412], 43, of Pasadena was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on 36 months of probation with a 60-day actual suspension and was ordered to take the MPRE within one year. Credit toward the actual suspension will be given for an interim suspension which began July 14, 2002. The order took effect Jan. 10, 2003. Schweitzer pleaded guilty to felony assault, a charge later reduced to a misdemeanor. He had an ongoing custody battle with his estranged wife and one evening entered her apartment and beat her boyfriend. Schweitzer broke his hand in the assault and the victim suffered jaw pain and significant bleeding. The criminal conduct did not involve moral turpitude. In mitigation, he has no record of discipline in nine years, was having severe family problems at the time that affected his emotional state, and reports involvement in community activities. His actions cost him his job as an Orange County deputy district attorney. June 14, 2002 DONALD PHILIP SCHWEITZER [#166412], 43, of Norwalk was placed on interim suspension June 14, 2002, following a conviction for. The suspension ended Sept. 12 and he returned to active status. He was ordered to comply with rule 955. read more

My experience with Don Schweitzer has been a very positive experience. I first came to Don in February of 2009 when I was faced with the difficult task of ending a 22 year marriage. I not only received his legal guidance but also his careful consideration of what was the absolute best for my two young children and myself. I felt concern for my wellbeing was always placed first and foremost. He earned my trust for a lifetime. My second experience was in January of this year when I was served by my ex-husband with an order to modify my spousal and child support. I did have to go to court but the request was dismissed. Patrick Baghdaserians, an associate attorney, represented me and after a long and difficult day I came home to a call from Don to check on how I was doing and if I was satisfied with Patrick and the outcome. It was a consideration that is not found in many professionals today. I appreciated his concern once again. Yes, there is a cost to this legal service. As with any legal undertaking, you must choose wisely. You must weigh your decisions carefully. If you do choose to enter into a legal challenge or task you must know there is a cost. I trust Donald Schweitzer. read more

If you want to waste 60k for a lawyer to not listen to you and lose to a lady with no lawyer with a GED than Don is your guy. I still can't figure out how a lawyer gets beat by a high school drop out when I specifically told him that she is friends with the judge. how do I lose custody ovet text messages? hmmmm how did a custody case turn into a criminal case on me? isnt that why we hire lawyers to defend the TRUTH....but really what do these lawyers really care about? oh I know paying off they Mercedes Benz and vacation. only to tell you that they can't predict the judge lol, well if he would of listened my daughter wouldn't be sleeping on a damn couch !!!! but what does he care, great hustle Don....if there was a star on hustling he would have 6 stars, but for a lawyer to just sit there and scared to battle because of his record and knowing the lies being revealed in court and he still cant battle tooth and nail for the Truth is a shame!!!! I hope this review deters anyone considering him to represent them. Others might disagree but hey if it deters one and more than it's worth it....these lawyers forget that they too will be judged for their actions and lack of read more

This review is long coming as I have been a client of Don's and his company for the past three years. During this time I have always felt respected, guided and listened to. Without a doubt, I chose the perfect lawyer for me and my case. The firm is very personable and professional with a great eye for detail which I appreciated. I would not hesitate to recommend Don to those in need of a divorce lawyer. Though he may be on the pricier side, he is definitely worth the investment. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for and in this case, you get positive results that are life changing. Thank you Don!! Don has put together a great team that work along side of him. One in particular who works in the accounting department and who is also the wonderful voice behind the telephone message system, Loxy was a true joy to interact with. I was made to feel valued and was well taken care of. Thank you Loxy!! From my standpoint, and hopefully yours, you will see Don and his team as a great asset in your journey of a new and positive lifestyle. read more

I was in desperate need of an attorney in a family court case, and during this time the courts were closed due to COVID. I was having trouble finding someone that would represent me and be my voice in court. I have been struggling with this case for years and after calling about 4 different attorney's offices to get help and being turned down due to scheduling. I was referred to Casey Marticorena at Schweitzer Law Partners. From the first phone call with her, SHE WAS ON IT! I had more info from her in the first 15 minutes of the phone conversation that any of the previous 4 attorneys. She has been very professional. Always prompt with emails, and phone communication. Cares about your situation and wants to help. I finally received the outcome I had been hoping for, for years. I am very happy with the Schweitzer Law Partners. A big thank you to the team! read more

Must say the most motivated and forgiving individual Donald P Schweitzer is, not working with the larger firm and more closely with Donald ,but wow! Four and a half years of constant support, exceptence of question and phone calls, no questions asked. Always protective in privacy, and can say what an honest and person to have as a team. Honestly spoke with over ten different law firms, and at the end of the day his door was always open. He allowed me to fully understand what was needed and or required in order for my self to be as successful as I could being in that ,saying more clearly helped me gain preparedness for the case I presented to him. He was straight forward and focused. I would say that when hopes of giving up crossed my path, he kept me going. what a great person and exceptional attorney. read more

I was confused by my previous lawyer making the pre nup process unnecessarily complicated and intimidating. Then dealing with the stress of divorce I cant tell you how thankful and grateful I am that Anthony held my hand to calmly explain how to best protect myself. I feel like a load has been lifted from my shoulders talking to him and having a clear understanding of my rights and how to proceed. I cant recommend Anthony more for anyone wanting a clear calm voice of reason. He never took advantage of the process and even opted out of additional legal paperwork that Im sure he could have charged me a lot for. A very honest and kind person to work with in such a scary situation! read more

This has to be the worst law office I have ever heard of. After paying them well over $26,000 in attorney fees, I am still STILL in litigation. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO FIGHT OVER! No kids, equal income, no pensions, no house, no huge bank accounts, no support issues. NOTHING! I really feel like they overbill just because they think they can. My spouse and I even drafted our own settlement agreement and gave it to Patrick to write up. That was 4 months ago. Still nothing. But hey, they got my money. If you are even considering this law office, please DON'T. Save yourself the time, money and frustration. read more

I was recommended Schweitzer Law Partners by an attorney I babysat for long ago. I came to them as a single mother in a nightmare situation of my ex challenging custody. Ms Hakobyan was more then an attorney. She made me feel as the top priority, gave excellent understanding and advice, was prompt and thorough. She was compassionate and professional and got me through what seemed to be the worst time of my life. The team was always on top of communication and emails. I never felt in the dark or worried with such an excellent team representing me. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

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. read more

What could make this firm better is honesty and straightforwardness with clients from the very start. Don't mislead people with heavy advertising or promises instead, provide facts, realistic expectations, and clarity about possible outcomes. With the number of clients coming through this firm, it's important to ensure each one feels seen, informed, and well-represented. read more

full of a very particular type of "scholar" - Pepperdine graduates, and it shows. I suppose this is an excellent firm to use if you have nothing to lose, making a firm that is "willing to do anything for a price," & sometimes not even that, appealing. read more
