PATRICIA H. COMBS

Families First: An Advocate of Family Law in Torrance

People have walked into my office thinking they would never see their children again. Or that divorce would ruin their financial lives. Or that separating from their abusive spouses was not the end of their problems.
Family matters can be wonderful or life-shattering. Call me to help you protect all legal rights California law can afford you.

This is my commitment–to spend time with you, to listen to your situation, and then clearly and honestly advise your of your rights and obligations and provide you with appropriate legal options. We will rigorously litigate when necessary. But we can also use more amicable, less expensive options: settlement, mediation and collaborative law.  

Firm Focus and History
We handle legal matters in the following practice areas: divorce, paternity, custody, domestic violence, property division

I have had my own solo practice since 2002.
