This is my first time dealing with courts at all, and so I was recommended by another lawyer not specialized in family law to John Bledsoe and he has been spectacular! He is honest, kind, and respectful while giving sound legal advice. Totally different than the impression I had of lawyers (first time really dealing with lawyers too). We had phone calls and worked remotely as well, and it was still clear and understandable what needed to happen and things to look out for. I highly recommend him and his firm! read less

My previous attorney had little success. Mr. Bledsoe came on the case. We had a trial. He was very strong and I could tell that the judge listened to him. Mr. Bledsoe destroyed my ex on his cross examination of him. The next thing I knew I was allowed to move with my children where I could be near to my extended family. I would recommend John and his staff. read less

My ex had always said that he would bury me in legal fees if we ever split up and he was out to hurt and destroy me. My ex had a top-notch attorney that completely overshadowed my counsel at the time.. We had an arbitration meeting where my previous counsel was berated by my ex and opposing counsel and I knew I had to make a change. I wanted an attorney that I could trust and that would be able to stand up to my ex's counsel and I was referred to John Bledsoe.I met with John and although he was kind, considerate and understanding he was also strong and had a strong presence. When I asked him "Can you stand up to opposing counsel?" he said without hesitation "absolutely". We were facing trial within 60 days and John geared up and was ready. John made himself available to me by phone, text, and email and was always responsive in getting back to me.Although trial was actually continued, as they almost always are, John worked with me to address numerous matters pertaining to the case including spousal support, attorney fees, disposition of the family residence which included Watts reimbursements, pension, drop program, Deferred Comp, sick pay accumulated, Gilmore reimbursements, and personal property that had to be divided. We knew this would ultimately end up in trial and so we prepared for that. Halfway through the trial we were ahead on almost every point and my ex was ripped apart by John and the judge. It was obvious in the court that John was much more prepared than opposing counsel. The judge asked us to go out of the courtroom and negotiate the remaining issues. Opposing counsel and my ex were much more amicable to a settlement. We settled and my life is finally back to normal. John lived up to his claim that he would be able to stand up to opposing counsel..., he went over and above even what I had expected for him to be able to pull off. Thank you John Bledsoe. John was more like a friend then my counsel and I appreciate everything he did for me. read less

The divorce has caused a lot of anxiety and depression for both me and the children specially my son that suffers from high functioning autism. On June, 2, 2014 my wife abducted both children and abruptly pulled them out of school, what followed was false accusations of domestic violence, in order to gain leverage in the diviorce. I was living a nightmare, I called the police and filed for divorce , the police told me they could not get involved , that it was a case for family court. After carefully searching for a certified family law attorney, John Bledsoe was the clear choice. All accusations of domestic violence were proven false, and I was reunited with my children.The divorce is still ongoing, and Mr Bledsoe has been supportive every step of the way.one of the most difficult aspects has been the parental alienation , and poisoning of my close relationship with my children by my ex wife. With the excellent representation by Mr Bledsoe, I was given 50 percent physical, legal custody, and 100 percent educational custody of my son. John Bledsoe really cares , and fought To get justice for my children. He also has a wonderful support staff at his office they are very caring , and professional I am glad that I decided to hire John Bledsoe. read less

He was able to not only get my time back with my son. we were also able to prove her as a lier. and the Judge informed her that if she ever came back to court without proof that she would loose custody of my son. and that it was only that my son was in school and doing ok and that i live in Seattle thathe did not transfer custody. John did all this in judges chambers which saved me alot of money, got the major point across and hopefully put a stop to all the lies and accuations that my X has put my son and me through. John did for me in three months what my Ga. Lawyer and $40.000 could not do. He put a stop to it. His office personal were just as professional as he was. he did not overcharge me and was fair about my bill to him. Not living in SoCal and having to fly in was bad enough but it was nice to find an attorney that understood what the priorty was My SON and spending as much time with him as i could. read less
John does what he says he is going to do. He is very insightful and truly cares about solving your family law issues.
Mr. Bledsoe has handled several cases for our family. They where both emotional and sensitive situations. He took great care to see that the outcomes where both fair and in our family's best interest.Mr. Bledsoe is a complete professional with outstanding knowledge of the law. I could sense he is well respected by his fellows attorneys and judges alike. He has out family's complete trust and we welcome the opportunity to recommend him highly. Mr. & Mrs. S. MurphySeal Beach, CA
John goes above and beyond. He is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, even tempered and well liked. His calm manner set me at ease when I was freaking out, which is so important! I would definitely recommend his office for your family law needs!
The BEST family attorney you will find John is very knowledgeable and experienced in all matters of Family law. He helped me with my divorce and child custody issues and did an excellent job getting fair results. His entire staff were professional, friendly and organized which made me feel comfortable in a very stressful time. I highly recommend hiring John! He really listens and I trust his advice and will call him again if I ever need more legal help.
He is willing to fight for you!! I could not have had a better Attorney. I had a very complex custody case. My ex-husband refused to return our daughter from her 10 day visitation. He filed for emergency custody. I had to come from out of state to fight for custody. Mr. Bledsoe and his team jumped into high gear and were immediately ready for this battle. It was shocking and painful to have my daughter kidnapped and totally alienated from me. Because of my ex-husband's lies and his manipulation of our daughter, I was very sure that I was going to lose custody of my daughter. Mr. Bledsoe had complete control. I watched as he completely turned that train wreck around. I was in awe at how he worked and the control he exhibited in getting my daughter back for me. Each step of the way, he knew precisely what to do next. I walked out of that courtroom with sole physical custody of my daughter! He was powerful in his strategy. John Bledsoe is someone you want on YOUR side in the courtroom. He has a commanding personality that people respect. He was always kind and attentive to me. He has the highest degree of integrity. I totally trust him. I knew I was getting the highest quality of work from him. I knew his advise to me was not only educated and experienced, but was 100% honest also. Most important of all, he was willing to fight for me.
Superb attorney - killed my ex!!!! I have had exposure to many different attorneys. I know a good one when I see one. John Bledsoe is light years ahead of other attorneys. He stood by myside and was able to single handedly get me a settlement of $550,000.00. All the other attorneys said it would be IMPOSSIBLE to get a dime, I guess they never ran up against Mr. Bledsoe before...
These attorneys were a Godsend.
John Bledsoe and his team has helped me over the years happily with great outcomes with the case I’m apart of. He was honest about the possible outcome of the case upfront and kept me well informed of the proceedings till the expected resolve. Thank You John
Highly recommend Whether you're just starting out in your divorce, thinking of switching lawyers, or currently self represtenting; I can't recommend John Bledsoe and his firm enough and the absolute need for an ethical while strong attorney(CANT emphasize the rarity of that enough in OC). If you're in a high conflict case this decision will be life changing, possibly life saving. I've been stuck in a nightmare of a high conflict divorce for almost three years. The tactics my ex and his lawyer have used to continue the abuse I should've been escaping is nothing short of a Lifetime movie, our young baby being used as a pawn turns it into every mother's worst nightmare. My family has supported me in retaining two top attorneys to fight for my child. Not only has choosing the wrong attorney's costed me hundreds of thousands in losses, it has lost me almost three years with my child. I've only been with John and his firm a short while, after self representing for a year. Considering my broken financial state, messiness of my case, and ex's nightmare of a headache of an attorney, most attorneys won't even consider taking to me. The care and time John and his team have already taken to strategize and help me move forward getting my child, along with financial relief to do so is incomparable. I have not a doubt in my mind that had I used John from the beginning my child and I's life would be completely different. If you're feeling hopeless in your case, or in the beginning stages of your case, my heart and prayers go out to you and I highly encourage you to meet with John Bledsoe and his firm. Love and healing to you all
John does what he says he is going to do. He is very insightful and truly cares about solving your family law issues.
I'm so thankful that I hired John. I did my research and truly found the best. My divorce has been ugly and drawn out by the opposing side, but John has been a rock steady force for me. He's so knowledgeable and has handled everything thus far with the utmost professionalism. And he's always been very calm and kind when he knew even filing for divorce was a personal struggle for me. I have complete faith that the final outcome will be as fair to all parties as possible. In fact, the hearing we had today for spousal and child support is already a step in the right direction. I would recommend him to anyone going through this difficult process.
Amazing Representation Mr. Bledsoe was very professional in handling my case. He was able to get my support payments from my x-husband increased and he know my case inside and out. He is an expert in the financial area. I am so pleased with the results.
Came highly recommended and both Mr. Bledsoe and his firm have exceeded recommendations. Staff are professional while most caring.
A partner understands. John, helped me through the machinations of a long distance divorce. He kept the running clock to a minimum and worked to get my interests heard. I appreciated all of his efforts and guidance. And yes I would recommend him to a friend.
John helped me a great deal and has been very aggressive in protecting my estate. He believes in getting fairness no matter what.

Mr. Bledsoe is an angel. My husband Ariyan Alipanah had major problems with his ex wife. Mr Bledsoe truly save us. He is thorough, and will not skip a beat. He will make your ex regret all the trouble they caused you. Thank you Sir from me and my husband. You can not do better than Mr. Bledsoe.
Child Custody I would highly recommend Mr. Bledsoe to anyone in need of a family law attorney. Mr. Bledsoe was professional and highly knowledgeable in regards to how the law effected my case. Mr. Bledsoe returned phone calls promptly and went out of his way to be there to answer any questions during a stressful time. In court Mr. Bledsoe will not let you down, He is very impressive and it is clear to see him in the Orange County courts that he is very well known and respected by his peers. Look know further, this is the attorney you want by your side!
Child Custody I've been with John only few months, but so far been very Satisfied with his performance. Coming from two previous attorneys (one even wrote a book on father's rights) that did little to get real results. John has been very attentive and made me feel optimistic on the custody case. I was especially impressed with his courtroom demeanor and his rapport with judge and courtroom staff.
Listen to Bledsoe when he advises you: He knows of what he speaks. He was right on all accounts. John is patient, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He understands the pain that children go through with a narcissistic parent. He also understands the blindness and mercilessness of the court and of the attorneys who defend abusers. He does his best to focus on strategies that will work under these conditions.
Communicative, caring and very, very competent! John has handled my difficult case in a manner that has far exceeded my expectations. He and his staff are incredibly responsive to any questions I may have. He has handled every aspect of my case professionally and with the highest level of skill.
Thank goodness I found John. He has a great reputation with the judge which was very evident. A tremendously possitive experience to date
Yesterday I was in court because when my wife and I separated she moved all our property out of our home and took all liquid assets, well over six figures. I had a good day in court. She put on an outrageous and dramatic act with crying, making false and outrageous lies about me and attempted to manipulate the court. John Bledsoe insisted on a hearing and that she answer specific questions about what she did with our money that she took. John Bledsoe held my wife accountable. I was impressed on how carefully the Judge listened to John compared to my wife’s attorney. When it was all over the Court ordered my wife to bring all the money she had left and put it in my attorney’s trust account within 72 hours. The result of John’s questioning of my wife was that she looked terrible to the Judge and ended up painting herself in a corner. She has found herself in big trouble. John Bledsoe really earned his money at court yesterday. If you’re looking for the best attorney that understands the law, commands the courtroom and can be a bulldog when required, I would highly recommend John Bledsoe!
There is so much greatness that I can say about John. Not just a lawyer but a voice of reason and a caring calming individual during the most difficult time. He is not only professional, knowledgeable, but also a compassionate lawyer. John is always well informed me every step of the way, returned phone calls promptly and addressed all my questions and concerns. There is no better Family law attorney around then John Bledsoe!
Helped in a crisis My ex wouldn’t return our daughter and follow court orders. John got him to do it.
John gave me some GREAT advice about my case. He's extremely accessible and knowledgeable about California family law. He knows all the local players. He is also currently writing a book on family law which is wonderful and very informative.
Attorney Bledsoe has been so helpful through the ordeal I am experiencing. My ex has been abusive towards me both verbally and physically. Things have been very difficult, however Mr. Bledsoe has been so helpful and there for me through every step. His staff has talked to me through some pretty hard times and situations regarding my child being hurt with his father or abuse from my ex. Thank God for John Bledsoe. He is very compassionate as well and really seems to care
Kind, respectful employees. Knowledgeable and capable of getting promised results. 10/10 recommend.
John and his team have been very helpful during a very difficult time. John's advise has always been spot on and he knows how to navigate the system. His knowledge as to when to be aggressive and when to sit back has been great. My case is still ongoing and I will update this in time. I am very glad that John and his team are on my side.
Dr Eugene R, Humphries John Bledsoe is the best attorney with whom I have ever worked. He knows the law. He works well to solve any problem that happens during a divorce. He is kind and helpful during a very difficult process. His fees are fair and he is honest. I give him ten stars out of five
Excellent Attorney John Bledsoe helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I will always be grateful for everything he did for me. He is the most caring, kind & understanding person who truly helps people who need expert results.
I was so impressed with John and how he handled my son’s custody case. He was so kind and reassuring to my son who was beside himself. They prevailed in court. I can’t thank John enough for his patience & understanding. Great attorney!!
Excellent law firm and staff
Incredible attorney and a great experience with this law firm. John Bledsoe is very knowledgable and always had my best interest in mind. He is somebody you can trust, and I could not recommend him enough.
David vs Goliath John has been great to work with. After going at it in my own my ex hired a bully of an attorney and threw tons of money at him. john stepped up to the plate and wouldn’t have any of it. John is deligent and honest. Won’t take slack from anyone. Be deligent and stay in top of John. He makes a great partner.
John goes the extra mile for his clients. He is professional and yet compassionate and understanding. I would recommend John to anyone and everyone. I would give him 10 stars on the review if Google would allow it!
Ethical, patient and knowledgeable I hired John Bledsoe after my first lawyer created chaos out of a clear-cut domestic violence case, and my second lawyer took over $100,000 to do a cookie-cutter divorce. John listened patiently and with compassion. He brought my concerns to the court and fought hard for us.
I am very lucky to meet Mr. John Anderson Bledsoe . My case is extremely difficult , I had hired 5 attorneys to represent my case before . When I met Mr.John A. Bledsoe , he strongly goes through very professional . I get security when he help my case .This is attorney very knowledgeable , excellent lawyer of family law with his way of working . The price for his work is worth it . Especially he is very honest and moral . He answered my question immediately . His team are professional . They are worthy ten stars . Thank you Mr.Bledsoe .
My family and I are so grateful for John and his firm. He is honest, reliable and hardworking! You can trust him 100%. You will not find a more experienced, professional attorney in Orange County. Very friendly and a great communicator.
John Bledsoe is the best. He knows the law and helps sole complex problems of divorce. He is honest and caring, Things never end easily with divorce but John is the best at trying. You will never be sorry if you work with John Bledsoe
John is an amazing attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and truly cares about what is in the best interest of his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a family law attorney.
I’ve met John Bledsoe when my husband hired him for help with a very complicated case. I am a stepmom and John Bledsoe has been helping us to navigate and guide us through some complicated processes and what it evolves. Most importantly everything he does is in the best interest of the kids. We trust him and we are blessed to have someone like him by our side. Thank you John!
I used The Law Office of John Bledsoe for my divorce and he and his staff where extremely professional, experienced, responsive and honest. I am an executive and my case was complicated due to compensation and equity, but in addition to his law degree, John has a MBA in Finance which allowed him to easily litigate my case.
My divorce became a lengthy and tenacious divorce and I appreciated John’s knowledge, calming presence, and his polite and respectful attitude in the courtroom.
I would highly recommended John if you want results!!!
My fiance and I were extremely stressed about some custody issues that became very urgent for the well-being of our child. This is my first time dealing with courts at all, and so I was recommended by another lawyer not specialized in family law to John Bledsoe and he has been spectacular! He is honest, kind, and respectful while giving sound legal advice. Totally different than the impression I had of lawyers (first time really dealing with lawyers too). We had phone calls and worked remotely as well, and it was still clear and understandable what needed to happen and things to look out for. I highly recommend him and his firm!
I think that there should be an option for more than 5 stars because The Bledsoe Firm deserves all the stars in the galaxy. I will start with the fact that John Bledsoe, his family & his buisness are AMAZING people. You don't come across a family like this very often. John & his whole team have opened my eyes & have shown me that light does exsist. Debra motivated me to become the strong, motivated, hardworking and loving mother I am meant to be. John, he fought for my 10 month old baby. My baby is my one true love. Angel & Debbie were amazing, they assisted me with all my paper work and throughly explained everything to me. The communication on their behalf is amazing. It just goes to show how good of people they are. They have an amazing family and a great buisness. Both their family and buisness is built on trust and love. I see it & I respect is 10000000%. Bless this family & Bless The Bledsoe Firm. Just remeber one thing...YOU deserve this. Follow your heart, because I did...and it worked.
Excellent attorney, top notch service If you are looking for a tough divorce attorney, hire John. I was so happy with how he handled my case. His front office staff is great too. He's very experienced and it shows.
Thorough, responsive and knowledgeable. Very helpful in our legal matter.
John Bledsoe ,review. mr, Bledsoe has done an excellent job in every aspect of handling my divorce . The divorce has caused a lot of anxiety and depression for both me and the children specially my son that suffers from high functioning autism.

Needing a family law attorney means you are in a difficult position. There is real comfort knowing your attorney has experience, knowledge of the law and also has the heart to help guide you through your process as peacefully as possible. I’m grateful I had John who exemplified all three.
Attorney Bledsoe and his staff Debra, Rafael and Debbie have been a god sent. I can't say enough about how supportive Attorney Bledsoe and his staff are. They truly make you feel like you are family and they put in 110% day in and day out. Weekdays or Weekends they are there to support you and it has been a massive blessing.
Attorney Bledsoe was outstanding in court. He showed up "Pumped" and Prepared. In court, Attorney Bledsoe worked extremely well with the Judge and boy did he really bring his "A" game. During court I sat next to Attorney Bledsoe and watched him operate in a way that words can't describe. The man is a Machine!!!! Every time Opposing Counsel tried to say something Attorney Bledsoe was all over it. I would have to say that 90% of what opposing counsel tried to state Attorney Bledsoe objected to and it was granted. He did not give Opposing Counsel an INCH! There is nothing greater than appearing in court with such talented, prepared council by your side and having such a loving, supportive staff supporting you outside of court.
Debbie and Rafael have provided me with the greatest customer service and support money can buy. There response time is literally an avg. of 30 minutes. Its mind blowing. Debbie responds in a moments notice and keeps everything organized and moving and I cant thank her enough. Rafael is a "Beast' and he is extremely knowledgeable and patient. He has been such a solid support base and has really kept me grounded during this entire process.
Then there is Debra or "Momma Deb" I like to call her she doesn't know that lol. Words can not express the gratitude and love I have for this woman. Debra was the first person I spoke with at the Bledsoe Firm. I was in an a really bad place emotionally, physically and legally. Debra from the moment I initially spoke with her took such amazing care of me. She is a complete angel and she has gone sooooooo far above and beyond for me. She isn't just an amazing employee at the Bledsoe Firm she has been a mentor, friend, shoulder to cry on and she has given me such solid counsel and strength in my lowest times. Debra makes your problems her problems and boy does she get Sh** done. She is gentle and firm and I would not want to be on the other end of her when she is on the war path. Debra never sleeps whether its 6am, 11pm, 12am she is working hard for you and its mind blowing.

I would recommend John Bledose to anyone who is going through a divorce or child custody battle. He is diligent and professional in the court room. John is a Pro, and helped me every step of the way, earning more time with my daughter and getting a fair outcome for our family. Thanks again and God Bless!!
Helped me cut alimony in half John Bledsoe helped me negotiate my alimony settlement after my ex hired an attorney who said he loves working with guys like me. Her attorney was very aggressive and through out some very large numbers and claimed I would be paying for his time as well. John helped me avoid that and I ended up paying less then half of what her attorney proposed.
I got to move away with my children I was in a desperate situation with a controlling ex-husband who lived out of the Country part time and had convinced the judge that I should not be able to move to be near my family. My previous attorney had little success. Mr. Bledsoe came on the case. We had a trial. He was very strong and I could tell that the judge listened to him. Mr. Bledsoe destroyed my ex on his cross examination of him. The next thing I knew I was allowed to move with my children where I could be near to my extended family. I would recommend John and his staff.
John is a smart, thoughtful and responsive attorney. He knows the law well and uses pertinent case law to support his argument. He was able to help my family.
John is an amazing trial ATTY excellent presence skilled litigator. I cannot say enough good things about John Bledsoe who represented me in two civil actions against a very corrupt HOA who were systemically ousting legitimate senior homeowners from their senior park, taking over and selling the homes , unlawfully laundering all the proceeds from the sales as self appointed board members . John relentlessly took them one by one in courtnperjuring everyone who lied on behalf of the board and won with the trial judge admonishing the Park ATTY's and witnesses as using unclean hands lying witnesses altered evidence to illegally oust disabled seniors. Johns fees were extremely fair and honest. He even included another abused and indigent, senior lady in my suit winning justice for both of us without demanding unfair fees. Many thanks John for doing an incredible job and being such a caring and honest attorney. Thanks, Jerri , JD San Clemente
John is an extremely caring attorney and is always easy to reach. I am very pleased with his effectiveness and services.
John Bledsoe is an excellent attorney. His staff is courteous and friendly. They were always available and direct on what the procedure would be, and possible outcomes. He attended all of my court dates, and understood how my ex husband would present himself in court vs his behavior during my marriage. He made sure to let me know how I was doing during testimony, assured me that I was doing a good job. He understood my situation. He answered all of my questions. I wouldn’t have been able to get through this without John and his staff.
If you’re divorcing someone that has been verbally and mentally abusive, John is the lawyer for you. I finally feel free of years of verbal and mental abuse that was unfortunately escalating throughout my marriage.

I will continue to refer friends to John.

Mr. Bledsoe is a class act.

Not only did John he helped me keep my head on straight he helped me get 50/50 child custody of my children. I highly recommend John Bledsoe to everyone.
Thanks John,
Jason Rutherford

Highly recommend for those looking for answers on questions we don’t know or haven’t thought about!
Advocet for Fathers rights! I have dealt with a few family layers for my divorce and custody with my ex wife. And wasn't feeling they really cared about my case. So like some people i see in court rep. themselves and tried that. (not a good idea). So feeling i needed a change i sought out the help of John Bledsoe. I found him very personable right off the bat. He already was up to speed on my case from are first meeting. We formed a strategy and went to work. Are first court date went just like he said. Then are next court date went even better. with the judge on our side I felt really good for the decision that went are way. because of John experience in court really allowed the judge to see the truth in my case. And will always be indebted to him. I recommend him to anyone who feels like they need a advocate on there side.
Had a great day. John's expertise is amazing on so many levels. Thanks
John is a very honest and ethical attorney. He has been a blessing to work with.
BEST DIVORCE, FAMILY ATTORNEY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HANDS DOWN I am a US Army Veteran and my ex wife was strong army me until I retained the services of Mr Bledsoe and his firm. I have never see such hardworking folks in the legal profession. They will give you their heart and souls. Very kind, gentle, and caring. Mr Bledsoe took the time to review my case and get a good understanding of the facts of the case and was able to compose a solid defense. Extremely intelligent, tough and pragmatic this attorney is simply a gem. His team Mr Fang and Mrs Vasquez are equally kind and caring about your case. I feel Blessed to have known them and to have enjoyed their defense. Don't Look further this is the family attorney you are looking for. Thank you again for everything Mr, Bledsoe, Mr Fang and Mrs Vasquez.Ari

I write and approve of this review of John Bledsoe.
Like many folks of us unfortunate lot, there will be grieving if you are sitting in an attorneys office. This is such a significant impact to life events.
In my time of distress - John guided me.

He is observant and experienced,,,,
Thank you John.
extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. would highly recommend this attorney group. John Bledsoe is fair and helped us tremendously. thank you.
The John Bledsoe Firm has always been there for me, since 2009 when I first hired John. My case was somewhat different and difficult, but not for John and his firm. I have had other Attorneys before John, but none could hold a candle to John Bledsoe. A very honest, moral conscious hard working Attorney worth every dollar well spent. Won my family law case with flying colors! To this day if I have any questions about anything pertaining to law I go to John Bledsoe. Best regards Sally Prietto
Awesome!!!! Very nice but cut-throat. John was very professional and intuitive to my needs. He was very knowledgeble regarding every aspect of my case
John and his staff did an exceptional job handling my case until the end.
I have been going to court proceedings for the last 2 1/2 years after I filed for divorce from my husband of 17 years. We have five children and two successful businesses. My ex-husband has been starving my kids and me out to the point that my church has been assisting us. I have had several other attorneys but my case has not moved forward in any timely manner. That is, until I met Mr. Bledsoe. It has been a very difficult battle with my ex. He does not do anything willingly. During our last court proceeding everything was going south for my case because of the lies that were being told. We were there all day long and Mr. Bledsoe negotiated wisely and fairly with the opposing counsel outside of the courtroom throughout the day. Opposing counsel would change their minds right before we would go back into the courtroom and completely waste time. It was just a game to them. When we went back into the courtroom at the end of the day Mr. Bledsoe had had enough of their games. He tactfully but forcefully persuaded the judge in our favor and saved my whole case!! He is well respected with the judges which goes a long way. Mr. Bledsoe is very experienced and capable in the courtroom. He will be kind and understanding with you and a strategic and strong opponent to opposing counsel.
John was incredibly supportive and helpful. We are so thankful that he was able to help our family.
Mr. Bledsoe was always there for our family. He kept us well informed and was quick to reply. He is very knowledgeable and cares for his clients. His expertise is matched by his high standards of integrity.

Grandparents rights Mr. Bledsoe assisted us in getting custody of our granddaughter. She was with her birth parents and the situation was not where any child should be. Other attorneys had told us it would be almost impossible to get custody from birth parents. Mr. Bledsoe fought hard and really new the law. He assured us that grandparents do have rights, especially when it is in the best interest of the child. We are so very grateful to Mr. Bledsoe for all he did in getting us full custody of our granddaughter. He was always there for us and we would recommend him highly to anyone that needs a honest and hardworking attorney.
After a few years of yuk with my ex - my sister found John Bledsoe and I was very blessed to have him on my side - my ex had a high priced atty out of Newport Beach - so we were considered the underdogs - however John was great getting thru the yuk - they subpoenaed my bosses, baby sitter, etc - while the entire time my ex was claiming to be on unemployment and that's why he was not paying support - we found that my ex just changed employment status - from an employee to a subcontractor for a major home builder here in So Cal and that he put all his assets in his 3rd wife's name, then he switched everything into his 4th wife's name - my ex was making more than $25k a month - John was extremely great and we were able to get the judge to see thru my ex's BS - please note that my ex kept me in court for more than 13 years for different issues and support - John was great and stood by me the entire time and I would highly recommend him to anyone as I have done for the last 15 years - thanks John for ALL your hard work - you're wrong your NOT the underdog - your a quiet sweet bull dog!
Excellent attorney Mr. Bledsoe handled my case and he was successful in getting me full custody of my children. Months later, when my ex tried to regain custody of the children, Mr. Bledsoe was able to stop her from regaining custody. I noticed that Mr. Bledsoe is well known in family Court and is well respected by his peers/other counsel. Mr. Bledsoe only practices family law and this is a major plus. He is professional, highly competent, articulate, aggressive when he needs to be, is very attentive to detail, as well as an excellent litigator. I was so confident in Mr. Bledsoe’s abilities that I was able to go about my daily routine without having to worry about my family law case. If you are looking for an excellent family law attorney, Mr. Bledsoe is the attorney you are looking for.
John Bledsoe and his staff were always available to me. They handled my difficult case with strong ethics and morals. John was organized and knew every detail of my crazy divorce. He always had a plan, yet listened and took into consideration my wants and plans. Thank you John, Angel, Brett and the rest of your staff.
I've been with John only few months, but so far been very Satisfied with his performance. Coming from two previous attorneys (one even wrote a book on father's rights) that did little to get real results. John has been very attentive and made me feel optimistic on the custody case. I was especially impressed with his courtroom demeanor and his rapport with judge and courtroom staff.
John handled my divorce. He handled it so well that when my ex lost all of her initial motions that she fired her attorney and got another one! It didn’t help as John prevailed on everything: No spousal support and 50/50 custody. John answered all my questions and gave good advice on what to do, how to do it, and how long it would take. Divorce is a horrible thing I hope you don’t experience, but if you find yourself in that position, I recommend you use John Bledsoe.
John Bledsoe has provided legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found him to be experienced, responsive, knowledgeable and honest. He has represented me in the most professional manner, his ethics are of the highest standards. His friendship , courtesy ,knowledge and honesty have become very important to me during the last year as he represented me in my divorce. His knowledge of the law and how it can work FOR you is exceptional, and his ability to come up with creative ways to solve a problem is beyond reproach. John knows the goal & always seems to have several different routes to get there, which is why he always gets the best results.I would highly recommend John to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from John again.
John has far surpassed my expectations with his knowledge of the legal system and ability to provide solid legal advice for my complicated case. His staff is always extremely helpful and courteous . 5 star rating in all regards!
Excellent lawyer I retained John Bledsoe after a vindictive X had filed innumerable filings of false accusations against me, trying to claim alienation when he himself was abusive. John corrected the situation by shedding light on the real issues of the case, which were my X's pre occupation with hurting me through abusing the legal system as well as abusing the children. I was awarded sole legal custody as a result of John's work.
Great attorney! He had my best interest at heart and went into detail in every aspect of the process. He was able to present things to me that I hadn't thought of before. It was a very good experience!
