Nicole
Mr. Knowlton was an excellent choice for an attorney to handle my divorce. He prepared me, educated me on the process and was available every step of the way. My case involved some complexity with a definite power and financial imbalance because I was a stay at home mother. I was pleased to discover that his 30 plus years of experience and expertise as a family law attorney quickly leveled the playing field against the other side. I was able to trust Dan and know that he always had my children and my own best interest in mind. After the divorce was finalized we all came out okay even now are amicable and successful co-parents. He is wonderful!! I highly recommend him!

Harmony
Friendly and Knowledgeable Family Law Attorney
I recently hired attorney Dan Knowlton to assist me with a prenuptial agreement. He was friendly, affordable, responsive, and knowledgeable about family law in California. He was more than willing to explain things to me simply, and when I asked a tough question, he took time to research the answer. I was very happy with his services and would use him again, should I need family law assistance.

Cora
During our consultation I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and experienced in family law. He was very attentive and not negative at all, he heard me out with great patience and did not cut me off nor interrupt me once and gave me the impression of a "roll up your sleeves and get to work" type of Attorney. I also found him to be very wise and something that is unheard of, especially amongst most Attorneys, COMPASSIONATE!!! Being an Attorney is not just filing petitions or filing motions particularly in Family Law, it is so important for us consumers to have an Attorney who is neutral to the situation while being compassionate to the families involved something which I found him to be thus far.
