7420 E Morninglory Way , Orange , California 92869

Practice Areas: Civil , Litigation, Litigation

Todd Spitzer is one of California's leading crime victim advocates and one of a select few of attorneys who specialize in victims’ rights representation.  He is the recipient of the Crime Survivors Victim Advocate Lifetime Achievement Award.  He has more than two decades of experience in the criminal justice system.  His breadth of experiences being a prosecutor, legislator and police officer is unmatched in the field of victim advocacy.. As an Assistant District Attorney in the Orange County District Attorney's Office, Spitzer handled complex criminal matters and supervised line prosecutors.  He has prosecuted serious felonies including attempted murder, attempted rape, kidnapping, robbery, extortion and reckless driving causing serious bodily injury and death.  Spitzer has tried nearly 100 jury trials to verdict.  His years of courtroom experience gave him the opportunity to train and develop the skills of other deputy district attorneys.. Spitzer joined the Orange County DA's Office in 1990 as a newly admitted lawyer to the California Bar.  During his first stint in the DA's Office (1990-1997) Spitzer quickly earned a reputation as an aggressive and well-prepared trial lawyer who had a special sensitivity and compassion for victims.  Mothers Against Drunk Drivers honored Spitzer with its Outstanding Prosecutor Award.  Spitzer's colleagues voted him the offices’ Outstanding Prosecutor as well.  In one of Todd's earliest evaluations his supervisor wrote:  "The intensity he displays is clearly the product of his enthusiasm and his desire to perform well for the benefit of those he serves. He remains an aggressive and enthusiastic prosecutor who will do whatever it takes to get the job done and to get it done right.". In 1994 Spitzer was elected to the Orange County Board of Supervisors.  During his tenure he continued to champion public safety and was asked by crime victim Bruce Harrington, whose sister and brother in law were murdered, to serve as state-wide Co-Chair of Proposition 69, the DNA Initiative. Today, every felony arrestee in California must submit DNA to a state database which has resulted in unresolved crimes being re-investigated and many murderers brought to justice.. In 2002, Spitzer was recruited to run for the 71st District in the State Assembly, was swept into office and was re-elected to two additional terms by large margins.  Spitzer quickly became an expert on Public Safety issues and was named by the Assembly Speaker as Chairman of the Select Committee on Prison Construction and Operations. Spitzer also served in the Legislature as Chief Whip, the key spokesman for public policy issues on the floor of the house for his Party.. On August 24th, 2004, the California Governor signed Spitzer's landmark legislation, AB 488 (Parra / Spitzer), which put Megan's Law on the Internet.  Spitzer was also picked to Co-Chair the first-ever High-Risk Sex Offender and Sexually Violent Predator Task Force.  The Governor praised Spitzer, saying: "Your hard work and dedication to this topic are a testament to your commitment to the public safety of all Californians." This work led to the Governor signing Spitzer's legislation, AB 1015, (Chu / Spitzer) to create a Sex Offender Management Board in California to create policy to manage California's more than 100,000 convicted sex offenders.. Spitzer has led several statewide Initiative campaigns. In November 2004, he became the driving force behind two important law enforcement measures, serving as statewide Co-chair for Proposition 69, the DNA Fingerprint Initiative, which was passed by 61.8% of voters.   Additionally, Assemblyman Spitzer became a statewide spokesperson for the No on Proposition 66 campaign and also served as its Orange County Chair.  Considered one of the greatest turnarounds in California history, Proposition 66 was defeated 46.6% to 53.4%; the initiative at one point had approximately 65% voter approval.  The defeat of Proposition 66, due largely to the involvement of Dr. Henry T. Nicholas III, co-founder of Broadcom Corp., ensured that approximately 26,000 serious and violent criminals remain behind bars.  In 2008, Dr. Nicholas recruited Spitzer to be the State-Wide Chair & Campaign Manager of Prop 9, "Marsy’s Law", named after Dr. Nicholas' sister, Marsy, who was murdered by an estranged ex-boyfriend in 1983. California voters approved Proposition 9, the most comprehensive Victims' Rights measure in the nation by 54% of the vote,  despite widespread opposition from all of California’s major newspaper editorial boards.

Practice Areas: Family

Tisha Lene Harman, a senior partner at A Center for Children & Family Law, is a licensed attorney in California and before the United States Supreme Court. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from California State University at Long Beach and her Juris Doctorate degree from Western State University, graduating with honors. Tisha dedicates her practice to minor representation, adoption litigation, step-parent adoption, foster child adoption, adoption, guardianship, dependency (child abuse), Infertility/Reproductive law, and child custody.. Tisha's professional child and family law experience predates her becoming an attorney. While attending law school, Tisha began an active career as a law clerk, later a child advocate and attorney while working for the Orange County law firm of Van Deusen, Youmans and Walmsley, a firm solely practicing in the area of adoption and family law issues. Tisha fine-tuned her already excellent writing skills, from writing Law Review articles, while she served as an extern for presiding Justice Edward Wallin of the Fourth Appellate District.. In December of 1995, Tisha, along with her law partner, Sheryl Edgar, left Van Deusen, Youmans and Walmsley to start their own law firm, A Center for Children & Family Law, with the goal of helping families through the practice of "children's law". Although many law firms in Southern California practiced in family law, primarily as divorce attorneys, there existed no law firm that focused on the families, representing the "voice of the children". Tisha and Sheryl knew that with this forum, they could practice what they loved the most about law, advocating for children and families.. Tisha's memberships include American Bar Association, California State Bar, Orange County Bar, Los Angeles County Bar, National Association of Counsel for Children, The National Infertility Association ("RESOLVE") and American Society for Reproductive Medicine ("ASRM"). In 2000, Tisha became a member of the Academy of California Adoption Lawyers ("ACAL") which requires very high standards of ethical conduct and practical experience. ACAL accepts very few attorneys into their distinguished organization.. Tisha's dedication, experience and ability to work with children has fostered recognition from many Superior Court Judges and Commissioners. For nearly ten years, the Courts have relied on her knowledge and expertise, appointing her to represent minor children in highly contentious matters. To date, Tisha has represented over seven hundred children in Court appointed cases in regard to parental conflict contested adoptions, adoption set-asides, domestic violence, sexual/physical/emotional abuse, ritual abuse, paternity, foster child adoptions, contested abandonments, contested guardianships, restraining orders and contempt cases.. Tisha is an experienced trial attorney not only at the Superior Court level but also at the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal levels. Some of her high profile Appellate cases include In re Michael H., In re Sarah S. and In re Ariel H. As a law clerk with Van Deusen, Youmans and Walmsley, Tisha worked directly on the drafting and preparation of the appellate brief for Johnson v. Calvert, a high profile surrogacy case.. While representing children in Court appointed cases is a major focus in Tisha's practice, she also represents many families in private matters seeking her assistance related to their children and grandchildren. In addition to helping create families through adoption and Assisted Reproductive Technology, she is one of the very few attorneys in California devoted to Infertility and Reproductive Law, representing many infertile couples with achieving the dream of having a baby through ovum donation or surrogacy. This field is very close to Tisha's heart, as she herself, has suffered with infertility.. Tisha resides in North Orange County with her husband, Judge Nick Thompson also JAG (Judge Advocate General Corps) for the US Army. She enjoys family outings, dancing, and traveling with husband, two children and her dog. Tisha grew up in Southern California with her parents and three sisters. She attributes her desire of helping others to her close family upbringing and her parents instilling the value and importance of family.

Firm: Core Law Group, LLP

1 City Boulevard West , Orange , California 92870

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

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).
