Law Offices of Daniel Grunbaum

Mr. Grunbaum is amazing, and here is why! I was in need of a Lawyer because I was thinking of taking my EX-​Wife back to court to get my alimony reduced or rescinded. We had already been divorced for over 6 years and she still hadn’t found a job and was shacking up with her boyfriend for the past 5 years. He was providing all her support and I felt that this would be a good time to try and save myself some hard earned money. I asked a friend, who had just recently completed his Divorce process, if he would recommend his lawyer to me, He said a firm «NO». But he said he would recommend his wife’s Lawyer, Yes you got it right, that Lawyer was Mr. Daniel Grunbaum. From the moment I talked to this man on the phone I could tell I liked what I was hearing. He is not only very good at what he does, but he is down to earth and doesn’t portray that holier than thou attitude that you get from many other lawyers. He is easy to talk to and he actually listens to what you have to say. This is also how the other people in his office come across as well. Dan, Carla, and Brittanie are all very professional and smart, but not unapproachable. Which is what I was looking for. At this point you would think I am writing all this praise because I won my case, well, we never actually made it to court. Literally days before we were to go to court, My Ex-​Wife was diagnosed with Melanoma Skin Cancer. Before this turn of events Dan & Carla felt very good about our case against my Ex-​Wife. But due to the current circumstances, we all agreed that our chances of winning now that the Ex-​Wife has this Major Health issue were slim at best. So I agreed to drop the case. If you are currently looking for a Divorce/​Family Lawyer, Dan and his team of professionals is the team for you.
P. S. Make sure you read all the Unilocal reviews, for some reason Unilocal has an additional 11 other positive reviews for Dan that are not currently recommended. Not sure why Unilocal does that, but you really need to read them.

Mr. Grunbaum is highly selective in the cases he takes. If you are lucky enough to get him to represent you, be honest, listen to him, and do what he says. He is intelligent, ethical, and hardworking. In most situations he is able to settle out of court but if you end up litigating, he will be over-​prepared, able to manage the unpredictable nature of court, and hard hitting.
Mr. Grunbaum is well respected by judges and other attorneys because he knows proper procedures, is intelligent, and does an impeccable job. They appreciate his conduct and approach to issues. He is tough and unrelenting on the key issues and conciliatory on the non-​issues allowing the other side to feel like they won something when they really got nothing of value. Mind you, he will manage you too. He will not permit you to waste your money or his time on non-​winnable, unethical, or minor issues.
Declarations prepared by Mr. Grunbaum are well-​researched, logical, and actionable by the court. He does the heavy-​lifting for the judge so it is easy for him/​her to act in your favor.
Carla, his paralegal, has decades of experience and it shows. Her knowledge of the law, experience, and familiarity with local attorneys and judges adds an additional layer of expertise to the successful outcome of your case. In all situations, she is pleasant and positive. Behind the smile is a sharp mind. She is a brilliant sleuth. I have one bit of advice: Do WHATEVER she says, she is always right. Procedures are followed to the letter and paperwork is conformed, properly entered, and on time.
Brittanie, Mr. Grunbaum’s associate attorney, is thorough, hard-​working, and tenacious at research and preparation. You will have a trifecta of talent working on your side.
Having had four previous attorneys — one of them a top attorney — I can say that he was better than all of them together. He was recommended to me by a group of attorneys to be the best attorney for my case. His excellent reputation is earned and deserved.

I fully recommend Dan Grunbaum regarding family court cases. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative when I presented him my case about spousal support. Originally I had been led to believe (by a Navy lawyer) that my spousal support payments were going to be for a life time. After reviewing my decree he discovered several errors in the judgement as well as clarified areas explaining that my ex-​wife was only entitled to 6-​yr worth of support from me for the 12-​yrs that we were married. Also, noting to me that I had over paid her by 2-​yrs. He was professional and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Again, I highly recommend Dan for his services should anyone ever be seeking counsel.

I hired Dan after spending $ 7K with another lawyer who only put me in a position to pay out funds to my soon to be ex that was totally unnecessary.
Dan was honest and up front with me from day 1. He dove in and analyzed the current status and then came up with a plan. Dan and Team executed on that plan. It took longer than it was comfortable, but it moved along just as fast at the system would allow. He and Carla were understanding and kept me encouraged throughout. I had responsibility to the plan as well and I followed his direction to the «T». I firmly believe the only way to fail in your objectives when Dan is involved is to not follow the instructions. He knows the ins and outs of how the court works and how to structure your case properly. Dan was worth every cent spent for his services and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alpine Law to anyone who wants your interests protected and have all of the facts brought out to come to a successful conclusion. I am open to speaking anyone interested in hearing more.
Good on you Dan and Team, keep up the good work!

Mr Grunbaum represented a family member in a family court matter. We found him to be very professional and knowledgeable on the law. I would highly recommend his office to anyone in need of a family law attorney

Mr. Grunbaum was the third, and last, Family Law attorney I worked with; VASTLY superior to my prior counsel and anyone else I’ve heard of. And vastly superior to my former spouse’s counsel, based upon actual Trial success.
Prior to engaging Mr. Grunbaum, I was embroiled in a never-​ending divorce process through JAMS in San Diego. Despite large sums paid to my prior counsel, virtually nothing was accomplished except for depletion of my assets. After retaining Mr. Grunbaum, my case went to trial with tremendous success, clarity, and results. Mr. Grunbaum developed a sound legal strategy considering my specific circumstances and successfully rebutted the myriad false allegations being made by a person who knew me almost as well as Mr. Grunbaum did after his meticulous research and preparation: my former spouse. Mr. Grunbaum whittled the case down to its true elements and succinctly presented those at Trial. He was always professional and communicative, but also pragmatic and realistic. Mr. Grunbaum never made false promises, but always delivered on what he promised. He has my highest recommendation, and you should hire him unless you want your case to last forever while you face bankruptcy when you lose. Just be honest with him and tell him the truth; you cannot obtain finer representation of the facts.

I could never say enough wonderful things about Dan Grunbaum! Dan helped my husband and I both in our painful custody battles. He was always fair, impartial and put our children’s needs before all else! When Dan walked into the courtroom I knew and immediately felt all would go right even if that meant it was not necessarily what I wanted exactly, it was what my child/​children deserved! I cherish him and all he did for our blended families!

«I have known Daniel Grunbaum for over 25 years. I can fully recommend him as a committed businessman and a person who has achieved anything he has set his vision to do. Dan is a strong family man with high moral standards. I can say 100% for sure that when Dan tells you something you can take it to the bank it will get done. His tenacity for hard work and fairness in treating individuals with respect I admire greatly about him. If you need a fantastic Lawyer who is patient and a great listener and fair. Dan will get the job done. Always looking out for your best interest and a good guy.»

I went to Daniel Graunbaum for a child custody matter. I paid my retainer fee and additional fee’s. The whole time he was telling me that everything is in my favor and that I just needed to give him more money to keep everything going. Mind you that nothing went according to his plain and I was the better parent, Well eventually after giving him well over 10 thousand dollars he told me that I need to take what I was given by my ex because he was going to step down as my attorney. I would never recommend this person to anyone. Not even my worst enemy. Do not use him.

I would use a different attorney if considering this one. He is very unprofessional and never follows through with what he said he says he is going to do. He also tells you that he can get you something he can’t just to get you to pay more money. I would not use him again and would never recommend anyone else to use him.
