Top best Separation Lawyers in Orange | 10 available

The law is my second profession.. Up until 2014, I worked as a classroom educator. While working  as a teacher I decided to pursue a law degree with an eye towards working with families in ways outside of the classroom.. I accepted a partial scholarship to Western State University College of Law. By the end of my program, I graduated 3rd in my class and I received two witkin awards for top student. I received these top honors while working 60 hours a week as a classroom educator. At that time my school, Los Alamitos Elementary, had some of the biggest gains in standardized test scores and was recognized as a state ranked 10/10 school.. I passed the bar the first time and opted to go from the classroom to the courthouse by running my own legal business.. My skills in organizing, collaboration, communication, and documentation carry over well to the practice of law.. Along with the practice of law, I have several hobbies including (1) social dancing West Coast Swing, Salsa, and Argentine Tango, (2) practicing t'ai chi and other martial arts, and (3) hiking and rock climbing.. I live for challenges, personal growth, and creativity.

Simon Budhwani is the managing partner at Core Law Group, LLP, a six attorney family law firm practicing in the areas of divorce, domestic violence, custody, support, paternity, property division and nuptial agreements.  Mr. Budhwani is well recognized in the legal community and has been awarded numerous accolades, including, being awarded the 2016 , 2017 and 2018 Super Lawyer Rising Star Awards, the 2015 NAFLA Top Ten Under 40 Award, the 2014 Orange County Metro Magazine Top Lawyer Award, and has been seen on Nancy Grace for his role in the Real Housewives of Orange County custody battle.. Mr. Budhwani does not shy away from a challenge.  He prides himself in taking and winning difficult cases in the family law.  He lives by two mottos when practicing law: 1) he (Simon) who knows his case file best usually wins, and 2) one must obtain leverage over their opponent.. These two philosophies have been the foundation of Mr. Budhwani success.  A client can be assured that when working on his or her case Mr. Budhwani will know the file and facts of the case better than not only the other attorney, but often the client themselves.   Doing so not only gives Mr. Budhwani an advantage over opposing attorneys in family cases, it also builds immediate rapport with the Judge hearing the case.  When the court asks a question Mr. Budhwani usually has the answer while the other attorney is stumbling through his or her file.. Leverage is also a fundamental principle in Mr. Budhwani’s legal practice.  He believes the outcome of all cases, whether big or small, depends on which side obtains and maintains leverage throughout the case. Mr. Budhwani believes that it is his responsibility to sway the power of leverage to his clients benefit.  Surprisingly, there is no secret to obtaining and maintaining leverage:  One must put in the work and make the other side work.  File the necessary legal motions to win the case. The key is to out smart and out work the other side until the case is won or the client obtains a favorable settlement.. These are simple but overlooked philosophies forgotten by opposing attorneys.  Mr. Budhwani does not shy away from taking advantage of such shortcomings on the other side. It is the recipe for winning and in litigation Mr. Budhwani’s clients hire him to do just that, win.. Mr. Budhwani is a recognized scholar earning Dean’s List & Amjur recognition.  He was an editor of the Journal of Juvenile law and is a published author. He has served on the national level as a Sub-Committee Chair for the American Bar Association and locally with the Orange County Bar Association.. In his personal life Mr. Budhwani was once an amateur boxer fighting in the super fly weight division.  He has a passion for cooking, so long as it comes out of a box and has written instructions.  He is deathly afraid of snakes and See's Candies Stores (they remind him of hospitals).

I also serve on the Family Law Panel of qualified minor’s counsel representing children by court appointment in custody disputes.. Because of my psychological education I am able to effectively litigate child custody matters involving court appointed psychologists with expertise.  When there are issues of property and support, I have the ability to be aggressive yet sensitive to my client’s emotional presence from settlement negotiations through litigation.  Whether it is crafting a prenuptial agreement, litigating property issues or developing custody orders, knowledge is power and pre-planning in the initial stages is always to one’s advantage..
