Congratulations to our newest Certified Family Law Specialist

We’re pleased to share that Paul Toepel Jr., a member of our Family Law team, has successfully passed the Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS) examination administered by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.

Passing the CFLS examination is a significant milestone in the certification process. The designation itself is awarded only after attorneys also demonstrate substantial experience in family law, complete ongoing continuing education, and receive favorable peer and judicial evaluations. It is a distinction ultimately held by a relatively small percentage of attorneys statewide.

Paul’s success on this rigorous examination reflects years of focused practice in complex family law matters, including high-asset dissolutions, business valuation issues, and contested custody and support proceedings. He is currently completing the remaining requirements for formal certification.

This accomplishment strengthens the depth of our family law practice and reflects the level of dedication and technical proficiency we value within our firm. We’re proud of this milestone and look forward to Paul’s continued progress toward certification and contributions to our clients and our team.
