When you have an unresolved family law matter, you want an experienced attorney to protect your interests. At the law office of Mihell & Associates, we bring over 30 years of legal experience to men and women throughout the Los Angeles basin. We have extensive trial experience and know how to protect your interests in court.

We work with individuals and couples who want to formally adopt a minor child, including stepparents and grandparents. We advise clients in open adoptions and closed adoptions.

To learn more, see our adoption page.
