Firm: Randi Susan Klein

835 Wilshire Blvd. , Los Angeles , California 90017

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

I spent my first eight (8) years of practice in the San Francisco Bay area. I represented clients in a variety of civil and criminal matters. The bulk of my civil practice focused on juvenile dependency and family law. Juvenile dependency cases involve children who have been abused and neglected and placed in foster care while their parents go through rehabilitation. Accordingly, one of the most crucial decisions made about these children, early on, is where they will be placed. Placement in a foster care home or with a suitable relative may determine if they will ultimately be reunited with their biological parents or adopted.. My experience is dependency law has translated well into my current family law practice. It provides me with a unique perspective that other family law practitioners may not possess. Thus, in addition to represening mothers and fathers on a private basis, I am also appointed by local judges to represent children in family law custody disputes.. I relocated to Southern California in May 1999. My current practice includes family law with an emphasis on child custody and child support.  I also represent minors in Probate Guardianship proceedings. I continue to represent foster- adopt parents, aka de facto parents, in Dependency matters. With the advent of Covid, I have added consumer bankruptcy back to my practice. A portion of my practice is now focused on helping my family law clients file for bankruptcy after divorce.

Firm: Torrance Family Law, APC

3620 Pacific Coast Highway , Torrance , California 90505

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

After going through my own divorce in my early-20s at the Torrance courthouse, I went to law school, became an attorney, and I immediately established a family law office in Torrance to guide other families in their familial breakups. After 10 years of grueling court battles, and after I became a parent to young children, I made a conscientious decision to step away from the courtroom and work with families using mediation and collaborative divorce principles of conflict resolution. I counsel clients about the benefits of mediation and collaborative approaches so they may understand the legal framework and begin to start making cohesive and informed decisions about their children, property, and lives.. In situations in which the family intentionally stays out of court, the end result of the case is typically less stressful, more cost-effective, more quickly resolved, and the family’s privacy can be maintained. I whole-heartedly endorse principles of collaborative divorce and mediation for families whose shared goal is to stay out of court, keep attorney’s fees low, manage the trauma of the breakup in a healthy ways, and preserve and strengthen the family bonds.. I am a member of A Better Divorce, Los Angeles Collaborative Family Law Association, Collaborative Practice California (CP Cal), International Association of Collaborative Professionals (IACP), and Bruin Professionals. I volunteer as the Family Law Chair of the Board of Directors for the South Bay Bar Association.

I am most proud of helping those who need help enforcing their rights in family law or litigation matters. Some of my clients have been with me for several years and have had me represent them on multiple matters.  I appreciate their trust.. Some noteworthy cases in which I have been involved include:. - Complex, multi-million dollar divorce cases against some of the better-known divorce attorneys in the Bay Area.. - A delicate negotiation involving a high profile professional athlete in a federal case in which my client -- the other party, his business manager -- was very pleased with the outcome.. - Negotiation of a settlement with the California State Athletic Commission that protected a six-figure payout for my client -- without him losing a penny.. - Successfully opposed an appeal before the appellate court of a decision in my client's favor at the lower level concerning a multi-million dollar trust.  My client was thrilled that we protected the trial court decision we earned in our favor over multiple parties.. - Winning a several day restraining order trial on behalf of a battered woman against a well funded and highly positioned Silicon Valley executive.  Good legal research, preparation and argument can level an uneven playing field.  In the same case, I succeeded in obtaining a contempt ruling against the batterer following a second trial for failing to fully comply with the Court order.. - Winning a trial that enabled my single mother client to move out of Santa Clara County with the couple's baby despite the other side being better funded.. In litigation, I've defended other attorneys from legal malpractice claims.  I've further won a multi-day breach of contract trial that enabled my client to obtain a lien against his ex-wife post-divorce.. I hope you contact us at and let's discuss how we can address your needs.
