I had the good fortune of interacting with Joey several times due to a very unfortunate series of events. First was my divorce. Both parties wanted nothing from each other so it was as quick as signing and initialing and parting ways. Divorce is never easy, but the whole process in her office was probably as painless as it can be. The second came many years later when I remarried and attempted to change my name. I was told that even though I had clearly indicated during the divorce/paper signing process that I would be returning to my maiden name, therefore including the reversion as part of my judgement, the Social Security office still had me in their system with my previously married name. I was livid. I was told I needed a specific paper that was not included with my divorce documents to release me. Because I had gotten jobs, renewed ID's, even passed a background check for a federally regulated position with my maiden name, CA Divorce Council were clearly not the only agency that fell down. Thankfully I didn't email Joey in a rage (though admittedly I may have sounded a bit angry, in a general way), so I didn't make too much of an a** of myself, because it turned out it was in my judgement. The whole time. In the end, the mistake was on the Social Security department. Joey got me hooked up with a certified copy in case anyone tried to say I needed one (the SS office actually tried to pull that, but backed off when they realized they were at fault). All that to say, I highly recommend this establishment and Joey in particular.

Jolene is very knowledgeable and saved us a lot of money on what an attorney would have cost us. Her method to pursue a fair settlement to both parties is unparalleled by other mediators and her quickness in getting the divorced processed was short and sweet! I highly recommend her.

Joey was a dream to work with! She helped me with a legal separation, an amended divorce, and even sent me a copy of my court judgment months after I filed. Honestly everything about her service completely surpassed my expectations. Obviously this is a stressful experience to have to go through and having someone who will respond promptly to every email, explain the process clearly, and be in touch for when issues come up is an absolute blessing! Very grateful I found her.

I am so grateful for Jolene! She's organized, patient and professional. She always answered all my questions, called me back and replied to my emails promptly. I was so lost, stressed and confused and I didn't know where to start with my divorce. She processed all my paperwork and did an amazing job following through. My divorce was finalized yesterday! I cannot thank her enough! I recently referred my friend to Jolene and she is now assisting her with her divorce. If you need any assistance, please reach out to her, you will be in very good hands!

California Divorce not only handled my divorce but also 2 different Trust(s) for me. Going through a divorce can be terrifying BUT in this case my (now) ex-husband and I knew what we wanted so it was a matter of having a knowledgeable professional handle the paperwork for me, in this case, the filer. We could both have attended the office meeting(s) but that just wasn't my ex's style. Thus the divorce. It was detailed, the initial meeting was empathetic & though Im not a gal who trusts people automatically; I knew I could trust Ms. Dashut. She took care of everything. Trusts: My father and I decided to each having trust done at the same time. Ms. Dashut Has one of the only and best questionnaires I have ever seen for a trust. My dad and I were able to take it home and review it and answer all the questions which included things we had not really thought about before simple things but necessary things and by the time the questionnaire was done we will ready again to go on to the office and have our final paperwork drawn up which she handled completely. Upon the passing of my father since everything went perfectly well...I was his beneficiary as he was mine. Due to the accuracy of all filed paperwork handled by CDC all fell into place upon his passing which in this case means home, cars, bank accts..all the things my father wanted me to have were immediately mine. I could not have more confidence in referring CDC! I don't remember how I found out about them in the 1st place but it was my lucky day to have done so.
