“What do clients remember in the years after their divorce? How they treated one another and their children during the process. I try to make that as productive and positive as possible so my clients can protect their families and move forward to the next, happier stage of their lives.”

Top Los Angeles Family Law Attorney Doreen Marie Olson offers a big-picture and realistic perspective that combines respect, compassion and clients’ long-term well-being. Doreen leads men and women through all aspects of high asset divorce and asset dissolution. She has in-depth experience with child custody issues and has helped resolve the most contentious and complex custody fights during her 30 years of practice.
