About:
Although our whole firm prides itself on being "warriors in court," I believe that I have a calling to spread the word to folks that there are alternatives to going to court. There are alternatives like mediation, collaborative law and cooperative law. People in our firm, and myself, had to take extra training, often at substantial expense and in other states, to be able to offer those alternative dispute methods for our clients. Now I have hobbies of "spreading the word" about those alternatives. I appear on TV, often with other members of our firm. I appear on radio. I write and blog. All of these spare time activities are intended to let folks know there are lots of alternatives to settle legal disputes. Besides writing and other media activities, I like to travel, often with official or religious delegations. For example, most recently I was part of a delegation of family law and juvenile law lawyers and judges traveling to South Africa to compare legal systems. I was part of a similar delegation to China earlier. The delegation was led by the President of the State Bar. I visited Israel, as part of a religious delegation. I love to go to the movies and used to be a movie critic on the radio. View More ›

"We had a few hiccups along the way, but the team at Family Law San Diego—Bryan, Tony, and Cosmo—came through when it mattered most. Bryan was steady and sharp, Tony kept everything organised and on track, and Cosmo—just by being his sweet, tail-wagging self—made every visit better. They work as a true team, balancing professionalism with heart, and their persistence made all the difference. In the end, we reached an outcome that felt fair and well-earned, and I’m genuinely grateful for their support."

"My initial consultation with Family Law San Diego went above and beyond my expectations. Mr Klueck gave me ample time and answered questions unique to my situation. Not only that, I was impressed with his level of expertise and experience in both complicated and straightforward matters, as well the affordability of the services this firm provides. I would highly recommend consider Family Law San Diego as a “first stop” for anyone wanting help with family law needs. Thank you again!"

"From the very beginning, I made every effort to be organized, communicative, and proactive in preparing for my case. I reached out multiple times before my hearing asking for clarification and reassurance that we were moving forward in a strong, appropriate way. Despite my effort—even providing detailed documentation and organized notes for my case—I was ignored. I was encouraged to come in for several sit-down conversations that went nowhere, just unproductive talks I was billed for. By the time of my hearing, my attorney seemed to recall less than half the information I had shared. This felt completely unprofessional and left me feeling hopeless. My lawyer didn’t stand up for me in court and allowed me to enter the hearing completely unprepared, including for questioning. When I expressed frustration about the outcome and their lack of preparation, I was strung along for months with promises of a resolution, only to be told they wouldn’t do anything. They dismissed my concerns and claimed the court’s decisions were simply outside their control. If this is their “best,” they should not be in business. This firm promotes itself as Christian-based and family-focused, but my experience was the opposite. I started with a case in good standing and ended up in a far worse position legally, financially, and emotionally. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will truly care about your safety, your children, and your case—and actually stand up for you in court—this is not the firm for you."
