About:

Our firm is devoted to the fathers and husbands, which is why our website is www.MensFamilyLaw.com. We do handle mothers and wives, particularly in Parental Alienation cases, and Hague Convention Child Custody cases. We practice in the courts of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and Ventura counties, regularly. I have authored 3 books for men, A Man's Guide to Child Custody, A Man's Guide to Divorce Strategy and A Man's Guide to Domestic Violence. They are available both as e-book downloads from my website, www.MensFamilyLaw.com, or on Amazon in hard copy. I have represented fathers in Child Custody Cases where they have been fraudulently accused by their ex's of child molestation and abuse, and won the fathers custody and visitation. I have successfully put a stop to Alimony payments by an ex-wife who was committing fraud - I saved my client over $150,000 in Alimony payments in that case. The new laws on Domestic Violence make alleging it very attractive to a parent who doesn't want to share custody - that's why I wrote a book about it for men. If you've been accused of DV, you could lose visitation to your children. View More ›

DVLawyers AI Summary:

Men's Family Law, led by attorney David T. Pisarra, focuses on advocating for the rights of fathers and husbands within family law, particularly in matters of divorce, child custody, and domestic violence. The firm recognizes that men can often feel misrepresented and sidelined in family court situations, where their parental rights and protective needs may not be adequately addressed. With over 20 years of experience, David Pisarra approaches each case with a deep understanding of the emotional stakes involved, emphasizing a trauma-informed and empathetic tone throughout the legal process. Survivors of domestic violence who are seeking a lawyer to represent their interests, particularly in custody battles or divorce proceedings, may find a supportive ally in this firm. The content on the website indicates a commitment to fighting for fairness and justice, underscoring that every parent deserves a voice in the legal system, regardless of gender. Pisarra's messaging reflects an awareness of the complexities involved in family law, and he strives to educate clients about their rights while actively working to protect their interests. While the firm primarily positions itself as a strong advocate for men's rights, survivors should carefully consider their specific needs and circumstances. If you are seeking a lawyer who understands the nuances of domestic violence and can provide robust representation in both custody and divorce matters, Men's Family Law may be a suitable choice. However, it is advisable to engage in a consultation to assess whether their approach aligns with your personal needs and experiences in the context of domestic abuse.

""Life-Changing Attorney: Gained Precious Time with My Daughter" I am beyond grateful for the outstanding work David Pisarra did on my case. I hired David to help me gain more time with my daughter, especially for holidays and vacations, as her mom was extremely unwilling to allow me any extra time. Thanks to David's expertise and dedication, I now have half of all holidays and every weekend with my daughter, from school pickup on Friday to school drop-off on Monday. This has transformed my relationship with my daughter, and I cannot thank David enough. He truly made a difference in my life, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled, compassionate family law attorney. Thank you, David!"
