Neumann Family Law, A.P.C.

"Jennifer M. Murdock was my attorney at Neumann Family Law. She was a true blessing to me. Jennifer handled all my concerns and business-related divorce matters. Jennifer is a very compassionate family law attorney, and she truly understood my needs and concerns during that very difficult time in my life. I am disabled and she totally took her time with me and handle me with care which really helped me while under tremendous stress. She advised me truthfully and assisted me when I found myself stressed out and going through high anxiety and frustration. She demonstrated patience and understanding which sure helped me relax. Jennifer went far and beyond on my behalf to represent me and defend my domestic community property assets. Jennifer did a lot for me even though at times I appeared to be pushy and anxious. She always remained calm. She understood what I was going through and always provided support. Her door was always open, and she was always ready to listen and provide feedback. Jennifer explained in detail everything she was doing for me and any costs that it would incur and gave me every opportunity to approve or disapprove before work was completed, and I was charged. Jennifer understood that I was living on a fixed income therefore she did whatever she could to cut the cost and advise me of some better ways of handling certain situations to save me money. Towards the end of my divorce Jennifer appeared a few times in court on my behalf and had the judge sign off on my orders which led to me getting my divorce settlement payouts a lot faster. I truly recommend Jennifer and her law firm based on what they have done for me. Like I said, she was truly Heaven sent."

"I have known Attorney Sara Neumann for several years. I work with a lot of family law attorneys. She and her associates are professional, great to work with, and extremely sharp. In family law, its important to have a good attorney who can walk you through the complex process of divorce. She has experience in mild to high conflict cases. I highly recommend her team if you find yourself needing a family law attorney."

"Tara Yelman best attorney I could ever have asked for. She got things done quickly. She listened when I explained the situation, knew exactly what had to be done. Tara’s experience and expertise is the best I have ever seen (I have hired 4 other attorneys in the last 10 years). I only wish she was still the one working with me now. She was my attorney when I lived in California, I have since moved to Oregon otherwise I would be hiring her immediately. Even from Oregon she has gone above and beyond to try to help me within her legal limits. In California she did exactly what needed to be done to get the correct information instead of just trusting it in the hands of others. She got evidence ! Which is what you need. She fought for myself and my family. Please move to Oregon and practice law here !"

"Twice within the last decade, Sara Neumann of Yelman and Associates in San Diego has been a valuable ally in the courtroom. My divorce was unusual in that my ex-wife and I shared a residence in separate living quarters before I filed for divorce. Sara's understanding of California law and her exceptional courtroom skills resulted in the court setting the separation year as the time we started living in separate rooms instead of they year I filed for divorce. That determination was critical and resulted in a much more favorable financial settlement for me. Just recently I reached retirement age. I was concerned that I would have to delay my retirement due to the monthly spousal support I was paying. I called Sara and asked if there was any way the monthly support could be reduced. Once again her grasp of California law was evident as she walked me through the process of how spousal support at the time of retirement worked, and how she would be able to petition the court to eliminate my monthly support payment. As expected, my ex-wife brought in her own attorney to fight my petition. Sara fought hard for me during the discovery phase of the case in limiting what was appropriate to turnover and what was off limits. When we went to court my ex-wife and opposing counsel tried to re-litigate the original divorce case, but Sara was relentless in reining them in and sticking to the facts of the original settlement and California law. At the end of the day Sara was able to get my monthly spousal support completely eliminated. Sara Neumann is an amazing lawyer. If you are in need of a family attorney, I highly recommend you give her a call."

"I went through a "very challenging" divorce with 4 children that kept me in court for a decade on and off. I used another firm with two different lawyers and was able to measure how effective they were as compared with Sara @ Yelman. Without hesitation, I can say Sara and her team were twice as effective at half the cost. I cannot begin to express the complexity of my situation, but it was challenging given the circumstances. Unfortunately I became fairly experienced at the process, language and arguments used in my cases over the past 10 years. I've seen the quality of the arguments made on my behalf and Sara always had clear thoughts and rational behavior with opposing counsel and the court. The team at Yelman did great work. Most important in this process is the cost. Clients are often driven apart by their lawyers, which benefits only the firms involved. Trust me -- I experienced this before Yelman, as did my ex. Sara did not inflame for the benefit of further court actions (and therefore fees). She protected me as a client but was always rational about the options presented to me concerning my decisions. Moving to Yelman over the past 4 years was the best financial choice I made over this extraordinarily challenging phase of my life. I am so grateful for their representation and guidance, and I highly recommend them for complex family law representation."
