What Our Clients Say About Us

I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Sizemore
    

I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Sizemore, he is the best attorney! I called him about a child custody case two days before I had court and he immediately took the case on and told me to come into his office that very day. When I came into his office he said "congratulations on your attorney" which was so funny and true! He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and does not sugarcoat things. Carl will tell you straight up what to expect. He took the stress off me and assured me that it will be ok! I am so grateful for Mr. Sizemore because he truly changed my life by winning my case allowing me to move. The judges know him by name in court (which is always good) and they know he is a tough fighter. Carl will not give up and can be aggressive when needed. His prices are very reasonable and he is always available and quick to respond to phone calls and emails. If you are looking for an attorney look no further you have found the best one! Congratulations on your attorney!

He was kind, reasonable and gave me good advice
    

I found Carl on Yelp - he had good reviews, so I called him. He was kind, reasonable and gave me good advice, which included settling vs. hiring him. Not too many attorneys would do that. He took the time to listen to me and look over my docs, and I am very grateful. Family law is icky, if you don't want to go it alone, this is a good guy. Thanks Carl!

The incredible work he does for his clients
    

I would definitely recommend hiring this lawyer. In frantically calling multiple law offices so I could obtain a lawyer for an immediate crisis in my divorce case, Carl Seizmore came to my rescue. Amazing man with a big heart. He helped me with my case and even met me at the course house lunch room the same day I called to review and give me advice on my case. All this without asking for a dime and seemed eager and happy to do so for me. Again, amazing man who I will definitely hire to completely cover my divorce case. I have never had a lawyer give me so much attention without asking for a payment. If this man will go out of his way to help a stranger, I can only imagine the incredible work he does for his clients.

Carl Sizemore was a saviour to me
    

Carl Sizemore was a saviour to me at a very scary and dark time during my divorce and than a second time for child support. I am a strong smart woman but felt helpless through the process. He was refered to me by a close friend and I will be forever grateful for his guidance, returning my frenzied calls, texts, and messages. He doesnt sugarcoat things and he helped prevent me getting stuck on stuff that was irrelevant. He is certainly unconventional in some ways but if you want to hire a divorce and family attorney than I dont hesitate to recommend him.

Carl Sizemore is a top notch family attorney/mediator and friend. Personally, he is a joy to be around - he always has a friendly smile on his face and positive attitude. Professionally, he is very sensitive to his clients or potential clients' needs. He is always courteous, calm, organized and not pushy. I highly recommend Carl to anyone who is in need of a smart family mediator! Carl represented me through child custody issues and move away and divorce. He was highly accessible, explained all aspects of what would happen and patiently guided me through this emotional process. Carl is an excellent attorney who honestly cares about his clients and the welfare of the children involved. He is highly prepared for court and I have not seen anyone who comes close to his speaking skills. I am very grateful that I was referred to Carl and cannot imagine any other choice for attorney in San Diego!
