Pasadena Family Law & Personal Injury

Practice Areas

Oddenino & Gaule devotes its legal practice to helping clients with Pasadena family law, personal injury, bankruptcy, and various civil litigation concerns.

Pasadena personal injury

When serious or catastrophic, Pasadena injury can result in permanent disability. People involved in car accidents, construction site injury, and other types of accidents often require extensive medical treatment. Our personal injury attorneys represent clients in personal injury claims to recover compensation for past, current, and future medical care and lost wages.

Pasadena family law

• Divorce. Divorce in California is based on no-fault grounds, may be contested or uncontested, and must include the resolution of child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, and property division issues.
• Child custody. The knowledge and creativity of an experienced family lawyer is often necessary for protecting a parent’s rights while also obtaining custody that is in the best interests of the children. We represent clients in a host of custody matters, including modification, psychological evaluation, relocation requests, and allegations of parental alienation.
• Child support. Child support calculations and compliance with California child support guidelines often require legal help.
• Spousal support. We assist clients with determination of temporary and permanent spousal support, especially in marriages of long duration.
• Property division. Our firm is adept at handling complex divorces involving substantial net worth and works diligently for fair results that safeguard our client’s interests under California community property laws.
• Prenuptial agreements establish guidelines to manage finances and property distribution should a couple divorce or a spouse unexpectedly die.
• Paternity actions determine fatherhood and form a basis for custody and support actions.
• Adoption laws allow couples to expand their families through private, agency, international, or other types of adoption.
• Juvenile dependency actions charge parents with abuse or neglect through the Child Protective Services (CPS) agency. Our lawyers represent parents in CPS investigations or Juvenile Dependency Court proceedings to protect their rights.
• Domestic violence convictions can affect how judges rule on custody, visitation, and other issues during divorce. We petition on behalf of clients for restraining orders and represent defendants in domestic violence proceedings.
• Appeals can be argued by our lawyers for any type of family law order/judgment.
