LAW FIRM INTRODUCTION

We are located in the City of Orange, County of Orange, State of California, which is adjacent to Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego  counties.

Our primary emphasis is on Family Law (divorce, annulment, legal separation, child custody, support issues, property division).  We also handle Personal Injury (accidents, medical malpractice), certain aspects of Business Law (litigation, business agreements, commercial leases, including formation of corporations), Probate (wills, trusts, will contests), and other related matters.  The office was established in 1960.

Louis  Niven is a Certified Specialist in Family Law, Certified by the State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization since 1981.

Our most important assets are our clients. Our law firm works in "partnership" with our clients in attempting to accomplish the client’s objectives. We recognize that clients need lawyers with whom they can talk. It is important that clients and lawyers communicate so that they can work together toward the achievement of their objectives rather than merely reacting.

The most important quality of an enduring lawyer/client relationship is communication. We strive to maintain an open, candid dialogue with our clients.

Our sense of "partnership" with our clients illustrates an important principle:  we understand the meaning of being in a service business. For us to be successful in representing a client we must diligently assist our clients in achieving their goals and guiding them in the resolution of their legal needs.

We have a sense of urgency about our client’s needs and provide experienced and aggressive legal representation for our clients.
