So far their website alone was extremely helpful.

Me and my husband were served papers from my 11 year old daughters father who had NEVER been involved with her EVER, but in between stints in prison, all of a sudden wanted custody and visitation. Went to court 3 times, due to him being arrested numerous times during the court proceedings. Finally we decided to get a lawyer to stop playing these games. We met Scott, and IMMEDIATELY knew we picked the right lawyer!! He ABSOLUTELY killed it in court, and actually got his RIGHTS TERMINATED......which in California is extremely difficult. If I can tell anyone who needs help, CALL SCOTT and JUSTINE!!!! They are the most honest and hardworking lawyers EVER!!!! I know that my situation is unique, but SCOTT AND JUSTINE ARE AMAZING!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY FAMILY!!!!!

Attorneys with morale that pride themselves on their reputation not their bill rate. They are thorough and advise towards the best avenue towards resolution. Couldn't recommend them enough.

I was going through a very tough divorce and custody fight. I had a lawyer and he really wasn't working out. I found this firm through an Aunt and I started working with Kyle Siems. Right away he let me know my options and told me how best to proceed. He was very professional and straight forward. My case turned out far better then I could have every imagined. I cant thank Kyle enough for helping me through one of the most difficult periods in my life. I would recommend him and this firm to anybody that has to go through this tough process.

Loved them

I have used this firm three times in 10 years. Five stars each time. Divorce in 2010 with David representing me, then a property dispute with my ex in 2016 that worked out very favorably for me, and finally in helping me with a prenup (no jokes about not learning my lesson). Kyle is an easy going "surfer dude" who knows his stuff. When my fiance's lawyer wanted to add language at the last minute, he made a very reasonable and convincing argument (in front of that other lawyer) that was a slam dunk for my side. I hope I never need their services again but I would definitely recommend them. If you hire them, they are on your side and not trying to gouge you with superfluous "lawyer" billings.

I had Kyle as my attorney and he was absolutely amazing! I am so beyond thankful to have chosen him as my attorney! He explained everything to me that was going on through my Family Court Case.. I have recommended them to other parents going through Custody battles.. I will keep recommending him as well! Amazing people work there for sure!

I worked with Kyle Siems from this firm for a custody case with a high conflict opposing party. Kyle was helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole case and when things got crazy he knew what to do. Kyle and Gina did a great job on my case and I highly recommend.

Recently my Fiance was taken back to court in San Diego for custody issues, while already having a pending case in Arizona, Kyle Siems was our attorney. If we could give Kyle 10 stars we would! He handled our case with the utmost of urgency, kept us in the loop, as we live out of state. He put a stop to the forum shopping that the other parent was committing. He knew the UCCJEA laws and what he was doing and got both of the Judges (AZ and CA) talking and needless to say this case was stopped dead in its tracks. Kyle was very professional, knew his laws and shows so much professionalism and we would recommend him and his firm to anyone. The Wilkinson and Finkbeiner Firm comes highly recommended from us, and Kyle handled our case wonderfully. If we ever have to go back to court in San Diego we will be using Kyle's services again.

Mr. Jazz Smooth

I was referred to Scott Finkbeiner by opposing council in a previous case of his. This is how highly respected Scott is in the legal community. Scott and his staff helped me through a complicated divorce involving a business, property and multiple retirement accounts. Because of Scott’s tenacity experience and we reached a fair and amicable financial settlement. Not only is Scott a great lawyer he is one of the truly “Good Guys” in the legal profession.

Attorney Robert Setterbo is a rare find for any legal controversies. He is sincere and honest, and well-versed in the practice of law. He effectively solved a dispute I had with an aggressive, hostile neighbor... I would definitely re-hire him for any future legal disputes.

I was referred to this law firm due to their local office and in another county. Afterr meeting with Justine we knew she was the one for the custody modification. She was there for every question I had along the way. As we walked in to court the difference in opposing counsel and Justine were comparing apples to oranges. She was well organized and went it to address most of my concerns especially that I got my exemptions from 4 kids as the custodial parent which was rendered by a previous attorney. She also fought to keep communication strictly between a parenting application due to the continued harassment I faced by my ex. I highly recommend Justine if you want someone who sincerely cares for Justice with your custody case.

The attorney's at Wilkinson & Finkbeiner are knowledgable, responsive, professional and reasonable. I'd recommend them highly to anybody going through a divorce or with child custody issues.

After calling three or more other family law attorneys, and after explaining my situation, their response was "that my situation was one that they were not familiar with"or as one put it "would not know where to start", I was very relieved to have found Wilkinson & Finkbeiner. From the moment of my first call to the friendly and knowledgeable office person, who was able to understand my unique situation and also explained that Mr. Wilkinson had just recently had a case similar to mine, told me she was confident that he could help. When I received a call back from Mr. Wilkinson to explain my case, he was very understanding of my exact situation, and upon his reassurance I knew I had found an attorney who not only knew how to handle my child support case but who I had the utmost confidence that he was able to help me. From start to finish of my case, I was kept up to date with all of the information, court dates and court documents, as the case progressed. I am deeply grateful for Mr. Wilkinson and the law office staff for helping me in obtaining my past due, back child support from over 24 years. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best Family Law Attorneys in San Diego!!

Getting a divorce is never easy but Wilkinson & Finkbeiner made it a very simple legal process. I really appreciated his ability to work with me even though I had moved out-of-state. Always diplomatic and very responsive to all communication. Everything went exactly as he had outlined and I was very satisfied with the work. I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a family law professional.

Wilkinson & Finkbeiner is the best family law firm downtown. I have helped some of their clients, and they have helped some of mine. They are very smart, experienced, and resourceful. As important, they are professional, and kind. They are also some of the few Certified Family Law Specialists in SD.

I highly recommend David Wilkinson to anyone that needs legal advice/help working through a divorce. He always explained every aspect of the process and laid out very clear options/advice on how to handle child custody and dividing of assets. He is extremely professional and was always available for me whenever I needed his help.

I would recommend Scott in an instant.
He is extremely competent, intelligent, creative, and a pleasure to work with.

I think a good attorney is one you are pleased with and have no complaints about.
A great attorney is one that you don't ever want to have working against you.

Scott is the latter. You are fortunate to have found him.

I had a very complex high asset divorce involving custody and a self-employed spouse who owned numerous global companies in foreign countries. Scott Finkbeiner did an incredible job. He was extremely knowledgeable about the law, understood and was able to explain the very complex financial and accounting issues in the case to me, and did an excellent job representing me in court and mediation. Scott was extremely honest with me about the expectations in the case, was reasonable and fair, and was conscientious about the well-being of myself, my kids, and my future relationship with my ex-spouse. I highly recommend him and Wilkinson & Finkbeiner if you have a complex high asset divorce case.
