Fischer & Van Thiel, PC

Filed for child custody. Linda helped a lot. Great updates and follow-through. Affordable pricing. Felt confident throughout. Would use again.

Used them for paternity. Staff was professional. Explained legal steps clearly. Paperwork fast. Cost was fair. I appreciated the honest advice and prompt calls back.

Estate planning help was excellent. Michael explained everything. Virtual consultation was smooth. Cost was clear. Documents ready quickly, no surprises.

I came to Michael Fischer for help with a custody modification. My previous lawyer had let things slip, but Michael took charge right away. He’s direct, compassionate, and always gave clear advice. I appreciated his honesty about pricing and expectations. We got the results I needed for my kids.

I can't recommend Fischer and Van Thiel enough! This firm handled my family law issue with outstanding professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. From the very first consultation (which was free) the team (Andrea***** - I give Andrea five out of five stars) demonstrated deep knowledge of California family law, clear communication, and a strategic approach that made a VERY STRESSFUL situation much more manageable. Mike is skilled, responsive, and always prioritized what was best for my family while keeping things efficient and cost effective! Their guidance was and is spot on in paperwork, court preparation, and they've fought hard to achieve a reasonable outcome. On a more personal note, my regular point of contact, paralegal ANDREA is truly exceptional and it would be in order to give her a pay raise. She was incredibly responsive to my questions (often the same day via phone or email), explained complex detail in plain language that has eased my anxiety, kept me updated every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported throughout the process! Her dedication, patience, and attention to detail made a huge difference in what could have been an overwhelming experience. Andrea is an absolute asset to the firm! Thank you to the entire team at Fischer & Van Thiel for the compassion, tenacity and RESULTS! If you are facing a family law issue in the North County San Diego, look no further - this is the firm you want in your corner!!!!! FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!

We used Fischer & Van Thiel to create a prenup before marriage. The lawyer was very knowledgeable and helped us understand every clause. Appointment was on video call and went smoothly. Fair fees and no hidden charges. Would use again if needed.

Michael Fischer helped me during a very emotional divorce with complex finances. His business background made a huge difference in understanding our property division. He explained the process clearly, fought for what was fair, and didn’t waste time or money. Communication was solid, and his staff was great too. Highly recommend.

Someone told me they don't even know what civil rights mean.

I needed adoption help. The attorney was kind and patient. Clear communication, fast paperwork, and pricing matched quote. Felt supported through every step.

I hired Fischer & Van Thiel for a contested divorce involving child custody. They explained the process clearly, kept me informed, and negotiated a custody plan that worked. Their fees were reasonable, and I appreciated their quick responses during a stressful time.
