Certified Family Law Specialists & Certified Appellate Specialists
Attorney Quinn is a Certified Family Law Specialist, a designation awarded by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization and held by fewer than one percent of California attorneys. Certification requires passage of a rigorous specialist examination, extensive peer review by judges and opposing counsel, and demonstrated proficiency in complex trial practice.
Quinn is a seasoned trial attorney whose reputation for preparation, precision, and courtroom effectiveness gives his clients meaningful leverage in negotiation. In high-stakes family law matters, favorable settlements are rarely achieved through compromise alone; they are achieved when opposing counsel understands that trial is not a threat, but a reality. Quinn’s ability to litigate cases through trial—combined with his command of evidence, financial issues, and witness presentation—positions his clients to resolve disputes efficiently and from a position of strength.
Because Quinn prepares every case as if it will proceed to trial, his negotiation strategy is grounded in a clear-eyed assessment of risk, proof, and judicial decision-making. This trial-first approach allows him to identify pressure points early, narrow disputes effectively, and pursue settlements that reflect the true value of the client’s position—without sacrificing readiness should litigation become unavoidable.
