I cannot thank Emma enough, as a friend and my attorney, for everything she has helped me with during my initial divorce proceedings and mediation, as well as any custody issues that continue to arise in the years that have followed. Emma’s compassion and knowledge has continued to be my saving grace when times are stressful. She knows the law, and leads with integrity and truly has your best interest in mind at all times. Whenever I have questions she gets back to me promptly with answers and a course of action if needed. Emma is one of a kind and I’m so thankful to have her on my side!

I have known Casey for years and we have worked on several cases together. I have also had the pleasure of seeing him in court. He represents his client to the fullest and is well respected within the family law community.  He works hard for his clients to ensure they get the best result possible.  Divorce is not easy but with Casey, you know you are being taken care of.   I would highly recommend Casey if you find yourself or a friend in a divorce situation.

This firm is professional and highly competent.  My daughter and I engaged this firm to help in a paternity case.  Julia got my daughter full legal and physical custody and the visitation schedule my daughter requested.  She guided my daughter through the entire mediation/court process.

I have personally met the entire staff of Garwood Family Law and found them to be highly competent as well as friendly. I personally used them for some legal advice and was impressed by their timely response. I  would recommend Garwood Family Law to anyone!

Over the course of the last few years, I have consulted with and retained Casey Reeves for a few different family law matters. He has always been so helpful! He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and has always made me feel like he really cares about me and my situation. I’m glad I found Casey and this firm to help with these sensitive matters.

A few months ago I had a question for a client and I called Garwood for some advice. My client was facing some liability issues regarding property owned by her husband. It’s a long story but I couldn’t do my job until I knew how it was going to impact her future finances. This was well outside my scope. I called Garwood and got Casey on the phone. He was patient and gave me a lot of useful information. He knew my client didn’t have the money to retain him but he still took the time to explain her options to me. It’s rare to find an attorney who will take that kind of time and I appreciated all of his help.

Your valuable efforts on Wednesday mornings have assured that the litigants of East County have their matters promptly and fairly resolved with aid of an experienced mediator. The service you have provided to the judicial officers is invaluable as well. We could not function efficiently without your help.

I simply cannot state strongly enough what a valuable resource Ms. Garwood is. Her character and integrity are above reproach. Her knowledge of family law is vast and complete. Her empathy and compassion when working with parties and attorneys within the settlement arena, coupled with a sense of fairness and balance, have enabled her to settle almost all cases that she has worked on.

Julia is a competent and objective professional family law attorney who provides sound and consistent counsel. She is supported by a strong legal team who were impressively responsive to me. Julia always ensured I was aware of the potential downside of each issue we reviewed. She strikes the right balance between taking assertive positions and the legal cost of those decisions so that I could exercise appropriate judgment on each issue. I found this approach to be quite unique and it ensured I reached a highly satisfactory divorce settlement. I highly recommend Julia to be your family law attorney.

Ms. Garwood and her staff handled my case in a professional and satisfactory manner. We attempted to settle out of court which was my desire, but opposing counsel was very unreasonable and showed very little flexibility. I was extremely pleased with Ms. Garwood’s representation of my case in court and actually going to court resulted in a better outcome than I had anticipated. Her knowledge and guidance through this very difficult time along with the support of her staff was comforting. I feel confident that you can trust Ms. Garwood to handle your case with the upmost care and professionalism.
