Attorney Leah Choi is a Korean-speaking divorce lawyer and California family law attorney serving clients throughout Los Angeles County and Orange County.

Call About Prior Divorce Verification →The following fee information is for general planning purposes. The fee structure depends on whether the major terms are already agreed upon or whether the case requires negotiation, attorney review, or contested court work.
This $5,000 flat attorney fee may apply when all major terms are already agreed upon and the case can proceed as an uncontested divorce through a Joint Petition or a Default Judgment with Agreement.
For spouses who are proceeding together and have already reached agreement on the major divorce terms. Court filing fees and any required service or mailing costs are separate.
For cases where the parties have a written agreement and the matter can proceed by default judgment with agreement. All major terms must be sufficiently clear before judgment paperwork can be prepared.
The $5,000 flat attorney fee applies only when the major divorce terms are already agreed upon. If the case requires negotiation, attorney review, disputed property division, support issues, custody issues, court filings, or ongoing communication with the other side, the matter is generally handled through formal representation with an initial retainer and hourly billing.
In divorce and family law matters, the first step is often not a full legal argument. The first step is identifying the case type, current filings, court deadlines, service status, and what must be filed next.
Divorce, custody, support, property division, restraining order, or post-judgment issue.
We look for response deadlines, service issues, upcoming hearings, and urgent filing concerns.
We identify what forms, evidence, financial documents, or court filings may be needed at the current stage.
