“Dealing with Family Law issues by yourself can be intimidating and confusing. It is great to know that this firm has staff that is knowledgeable and commits the necessary resources to help guide Fathers through the process. I worked with Sara Neumann diligently for 6 months and achieved results that far exceeded my expectations. Her staff provided excellent support service as well. I would highly recommend the firm.”
“Sara Neumann handled my case in a very professional and competent manner. It is very comforting to have an attorney whom you can trust during what are typically very difficult and emotional draining issues. Ms. Neumann listened to my desires and was understanding as to the direction I wanted to take things. Her knowledge of family law and her negotiations with the opposing party were clear and effective. My divorce was ugly, to say the least.. I was highly satisfied with the result. I have referred several friends to Ms. Neumann, all of whom have been pleased with her service.”
“It is my pleasure to recommend Jennifer Murdock for her services in the practice of family law. I spoke with several potential attorneys at law and immediately knew Jen was the best fit to represent me Jennifer is passionate, thorough, brilliant and leaves no stone left unturned! She helped me achieve everything I set out to and more. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re seeking someone who genuinely cares about representing you, look no further! She will guide you through an otherwise tough process and hold your hand on the way.”
“Sara Neumann is the first Attorney that actually “got it.” She understands the nuances of my situation and I feel like she cares. My post-divorce life would have had far less issues if Ms. Neumann had been my Attorney from the beginning”
“I am thankful to have the opportunity to tell others what a competent attorney Sara Neumann is. Ms. Neumann met with me regarding a very difficult custody schedule that was hurtful to my son. She listened to all the details of the case which had been going on for several years and involved international travel and custody schedules between states. I left her office feeling confident that I had chosen the right attorney for the job. She understood the situation from the start and she worked hard to accomplish the goal. She was always responsive to me by telephone or email and she knew the right people in the field. My son has a much better schedule now and a more positive outlook on life. I feel confident knowing that Ms. Neumann will be right there if I need her again.”
“Estela De Orduna is a wonderful attorney that cares about her clients. Estela is also well known for getting results. I highly recommend her.

“I was fortunate enough to see Jennifer Murdock in action at a previous court case representing a client of hers and knew right away I needed to contact her in hopes she would also help me with my situation. I was very impressed with her knowledge and representation of her client! . . . My only regret is not meeting Jennifer Murdock sooner. I would highly recommend her as an attorney! I’ve already referred her to a couple of my closest friends. Wonderful woman and amazing at what she does!!”
“My wife and I would like to say thank you Sara Neumann for the outstanding work you did for us. Words cannot give our appreciation justice. You and your assistants were superbly efficient and professional. Your foresight on all matters on our case was truly remarkable. Your service and knowledge was second to none and you made the process very easy to deal with when we were nervous and anxious. It goes without saying that we will always refer to your firm if the need ever arises that we should need any legal assistance again. We will proudly recommend you and your firm to anyone we know who may be in need of legal assistance. Once again our heartfelt thanks and appreciation.”
“Let me just start by saying I would highly recommend Neumann Family Law. We have been working with Jennifer Murdock for the last 6 months and she has been nothing short of amazing! She is very knowledgeable, responsive and sensitive to our needs. She has helped us work through a very complicated and contentious case and has been absolutely unflappable the entire time. She is not only a good attorney but also a good person. She has treated us with kindness, dignity and respect and has gone out of her way to make sure that we have our fair day in court. We are so incredibly grateful to her and Neumann Family Law.
“Estela De Orduna is compassionate and dedicated. She treats her clients like family and goes above and beyond. She is especially passionate about assisting clients in international family
“Sara Neumann was referred to me as an amazing attorney, after consulting with her over the phone I knew that I had to meet with her. After meeting with Sara I felt confident that she was the attorney that I wanted to represent me. She was really easy to talk to and down to earth. I had many concerns regarding this sensitive case. First my children have always been with their Mother during the school week and I had them every weekend and holidays. I now wanted my children to live with me during the school week so that I could help them with their homework and extra-curricular activities. I was concerned being a Father that the court would not want to place the children in my care and leave the children with their Mother. Sara reassured me that the court system has changed and Fathers rights are really taken into consideration. We met with her in October, filed paper work in November, had a court hearing set for January, and by June after a difficult fight I was able to have my children during the school week. I truly believe to this day that because of Sara’s expertise, knowledge and patience I was able to get what I requested. I will continue to use Sara Neumann as my attorney and highly recommend her. She will fight for your children.”
“Great Divorce/family lawyer! Ms. Estela De Orduna, helped me with my divorce and was very thorough with my case. She was very understanding as well as professional. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
“My family is forever indebted to Attorney Jennifer Murdock. My daughter was in a difficult, intimidating relationship with the father of her children. There was drug use, violence, and constant lying. He was seeking 50% custody of their very young sons. Attorney Murdock was a passionate advocate, and skilled professional! She finessed the situation, submitted evidence to opposing attorney and just today the judge signed off entirely in my daughter’s favor. She has complete physical custody. My daughter said she knew Ms. Murdock was the right advocate during their first phone call. As the grandmother of these precious boys, I am grateful beyond measure.”
“Estela De Orduna is assertive without being rude or demeaning to the other party. She respectfully, but passionately, addresses the judge. Her ability to advocate and champion the position of her client is impressive, and her grasp of family law is expansive. I lean on her whenever I cannot make a court appearance, and I send anyone in the midst of a time-sensitive high-conflict divorce or custody dispute to her readily.”
“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 Neumann. Without hesitation, I can say Sara and her team were twice as effective at half the cost . . . 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 . . . She protected me as a client but was always rational about the options presented to me concerning my decisions . . .and I highly recommend them for complex family law representation.”
“I was married for eight years and with the woman I divorced for 12. After being with someone for such a lengthy period of time, a person thinks and wants to believe he really knew the person he was with. I made it perfectly clear to my ex-wife, that I didn’t need a lawyer and that I didn’t want our marriage to end up like so many others. I told her that I trusted her and that I only wanted to do my part and help provide for our two young children. I told her that we could use her lawyer to help mediate our divorce, so we could avoid the huge costs associated with two attorneys and court. Her legal assistant recommended that I have an attorney look it over and sign off on it prior to me signing and returning it. This is when I contacted Sara Neumann, Sara reviewed the document, told me that she could sign it and all would be done, but then she threw in the “but…” She told me that she thought the MSA was inappropriate and that my ex-wife’s attorney left much of it unclear. She also told me that she could represent me and add clarity to the document, while making it fair for both of us. After having many sleepless nights and a constant ache in my stomach, thinking I might be making a mistake trusting my ex-wife and having that verified by an expert, I chose to have Ms. Neumann represent me. Ms. Neumann advised and represented me in a professional manner, yet with a personal touch. I walked away from a very emotional scenario feeling that I had the best representation possible”
“A few months into my separation and divorce I realized I needed help navigating the entire process of divorcing and settling custody of my 3 children. Jennifer Murdock entered my life and was able to guide me through every step of the process and set out a clear timeline for me. She made an impossible situation seem possible and helped give me the strength and guidance I needed to have the best outcome for myself and my kids. I began my journey with her completely broken and overwhelmed by my situation and ended it with my head held high and my dignity back. I would highly recommend her to anyone struggling through the process. She’s incredible and reminded me of my own strength every step of the way.
“Great family law attorney. Estela is very knowledgeable about cross-over and cross-border issues. A wonderful resource in our legal community.”
“My husband and I appreciated having the opportunity to work with Jennifer Murdock on an arduous high-conflict case. Jennifer is professional, kind, compassionate, supportive, understanding, responsive, and personable. She is passionate about helping others; putting every effort into achieving the outcome your case deserves. It is rare to find an attorney who will listen to what you have to say and who will work collaboratively to navigate the stressors these cases often bring. We felt supported, heard, understood, and valued by Jennifer. With Jennifer’s support, we felt we had someone in our corner giving voice to our needs and concerns with our family’s best interest at heart. We trust Jennifer and the team at Neumann Family Law with any family matter we may have. We highly recommend this law firm to help you navigate your family law matter.
“There are simply not enough words to express my indebtedness to Sara Neumann for giving me my life back. As a mother and a nurse, my life exists to take care of others. “Thank you” seems incomplete or too simplified in an attempt to express my heartfelt gratitude for Sara’s skill in taking care of me and my daughters. I absolutely felt safe and protected for the first time in years. From the moment we met to confer in regards to my high conflict custody case, I felt Ms. Neumann truly heard me and understood the obstacles I was facing in a case that had been in and out of the court system for years. Ms. Neumann’s expertise and respected reputation was evident in how she was received by her peers and ultimately our judge as well. She is an honest and thoughtful lawyer who gave everything in her power to do what was best for me and in this case, my children as well. She was able to completely turn around the manufactured image of me that had been created and presented to the court system by my ex-husband . . . The court FINALLY saw the whole truth and ruled accordingly. Sara MADE the court hear the truth because of her tenacity and penchant for the truth! . . .”

“I endorse Estela De Orduna. I’ve had two cases against Estela and in both cases, she was very firm and aggressive but also very professional.”
“My family and I are so happy we chose Sara Neuman for our step parent adoption. She went above and beyond to make sure that our adoption went smoothly. From the moment we walked into her office she made us feel relaxed and she focused on our family’s needs. She even showed us ways to save money! we are so grateful to have met Sara and we know we couldn’t have done this without her!”
“Jennifer Murdock is wonderful attorney! She is knowledgeable, honest, has integrity, and gave great attention to my case. Before I talked to Jennifer, I was overwhelmed, unsure about my legal rights, and my, and my children future. She answered all my questions, explained the process, and advised me every step of the way. I highly recommend Jennifer. She is outstanding attorney, great negotiator and was very pleased with the outcome of my case.”
“My divorce was unusual . . . 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.”
“I truly want to thank Jennifer Murdock, she was absolutely AMAZING! I am so incredibly grateful to have her as my attorney! Jennifer was on it, and she made every possible argument. She did not let the other party get away with ANYTHING! She was incredible! And, Jennifer knew when to give me the support and grab my hand during a very difficult trial. Jennifer’s representation had a major positive impact in our lives. Jennifer truly makes a positive difference in the world. I could not have made it through the trial without her! Jennifer is more than an attorney, she is a true friend and genuine, passionate person who strives for what is truly right. Thank you.”
“I was served an emergency ex parte, and Sara Neumann was able to help me on very short notice. She offered a solution that saved me money, time, and heartache. She is relatable and empathetic, and puts the child first. I highly recommend her.”
“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 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 . . .. I truly recommend Jennifer and her law firm based on what they have done for me. As I said, she was truly Heaven-sent.”
“Sara is a sharp, compassionate professional who knows her skill beyond the usual. I recommend her for your family law needs. She is also humorous with grace and dignity–which was much appreciated through the trying times I experience during my divorce and child support & custody proceedings. Thank you Sara. I will always remember you.”
“Jennifer Murdock is an outstanding attorney, she represented my daughter in child custody and child support legal cases. Jennifer won on both cases with a generous child support and full legal and primary physical custody for my daughter. Jennifer is highly intelligent, super competent, and completely committed to her clients. This was a convoluted case, with the other party forging documents and hiding assets. Jennifer does her research and shows up to court with all the appropriate documentation and wins . . . I will be forever grateful to Jennifer Murdock for getting my daughter full custody of my two grandchildren and a child support that will assure the needs of my grandchildren are met. I highly recommend Jennifer Murdock for all of your legal needs, she is the best attorney our family has ever had . . ..”
