    Attorney Andrea Schneider is an amazing, caring, and supportive professional.  While she was out of the country and unable to take on my case, she went out of her way to provide me with assistance and recommendations for lawyers that would be able to provide the legal consultation I needed. She responded to my voicemail within a short time (working at was the late night/early morning for her) to gather my information and provide numerous local Law Firms that would be able to assist me.

Why Choose Me to Handle Your Case?

With more than 32 years of experience practicing family law in the La Mesa, El Cajon, and Lemon Grove area, I bring a level of insight that only comes from decades of hands-on courtroom and mediation experience. I am also a trained mediator — a distinction that allows me to approach every case with a broader perspective and a stronger eye toward resolution.

My commitment to the San Diego legal community goes beyond my clients. I served as President of the East County San Diego Bar Association (formerly the Foothills Bar Association) for two consecutive years — 2020 and 2021 — and continue to serve on its board. That kind of peer recognition reflects the reputation I have worked to build over more than three decades of practice.

Because I am a solo practitioner, you will work directly with me from day one to resolution. There is no handoff to a junior associate, no uncertainty about who is handling your case. I maintain open, ongoing communication with every client — by phone, text, email, or in person — and I treat each person I represent as if they are my only client.

As a mother of two, I understand on a personal level what is at stake when families face custody disputes, divorce, or child support proceedings. That experience shapes how I practice. I help clients stay focused on what matters most — their children and their future — while I handle the legal heavy lifting.

When you put me on your side, minimizing your stress, time, and unnecessary expenses becomes my priority. I work diligently to pursue favorable outcomes across the full range of matters I handle, including property division, and I do so with the judgment-free approach that every client deserves. Whether you are fighting to protect your family, your rights, or your freedom, I am here for you.

Call me today at (619) 304-8499 — let's talk about how I can help.
