    Hired Law firm 2019-2024
    I had a phenomenal experience with the law office of Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger, Inc. I was forced to deal with suddenly being served with divorce papers by my wife totally out of the blue after a 12-year marriage. After consulting a number of Family law sites, I came across Dianne Butler. She not only gave me excellent and very sound legal advice, but also was very patient in describing the process and expertly dealing with the shenanigans my ex and opposing counsel tried to pull. Although the process literally took years, Dianne was there every step of the way. As a man living in California where the divorce laws put us at a distinct disadvantage, I was constantly asked the question by friends and family, ?Do you trust your lawyer?? The answer was always overwhelmingly YES! This law office was always amazing. The knowledge and advice that Dianne and her team provided me during my experience was crucial in my case. It is also very evident with every interaction with Dianne Butler is intelligent, thoughtful, thorough, and professional. I could not recommend a better family law lawyer anywhere!"

    If you are going through a custody battle, I highly recommend the attorneys at Butler, Thiessen, and Metzinger, Inc. From the moment you walk into the office, everyone is kind and makes you feel at ease. Lindsay gave me confidence in my case and kept me updated every step of the way. I never felt alone. That is very important when going to court. Let the attorneys do the heavy lifting and call Butler, Thiessen, and Metzinger.

    Mrs. Butler and her team helped me through a long, complicated, and contentious divorce. They provided me with very competent representation and helped me to achieve the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs help during what is a very challenging time.

    This firm is outstanding! Our attorney Ms Metzinger and her team helped us throughout the entire process. They were able to give us peace of mind during such a difficult time in our lives. They were incredibly professional but also really took an interest in our family?s situation. There aren?t enough good things I can say about them, and our family is so grateful for everything they?ve done for us. I would never want to go through family court again, but if I had to I absolutely would choose Butler, Thiessen & Metzinger!

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
