Since graduating from law school in 1972, Thomas M. Huguenor has dedicated his entire career to fighting for the rights of client’s dealing with Family Law cases. For more than four decades, he has built an outstanding reputation as one of San Diego’s leading divorce and child custody attorneys, earning certifications, awards and distinctions along the way.

Today, the Law Office of Thomas M. Huguenor focuses exclusively on providing aggressive, high-quality legal representation in Family Law courtrooms throughout San Diego County, including the Madge Bradley Courthouse and the 6th Avenue locations in San Diego; the North County Division on South Melrose in Vista; and the East County Division in El Cajon.

The San Diego Family Law attorneys and professional staff at the Law Offices of Thomas M. Huguenor have the knowledge, experience, education and skill to fight for the best outcome possible in your case. Our legal resources are focused solely on the practice of Family Law. Judgments, court orders and legal opinions from throughout California and across the nation are collected, reviewed and stored in our databases, where they are ready to assist our staff and our clients in all types of Family Law cases.

After more than 35 years, our reputation is well-known to fellow attorneys and judges alike, and our relationships are virtually unmatched when it comes to retaining the services of accountants, financial advisors, property appraisers, child-welfare advocates and other professionals who are so often critical to the outcome of your case.

Attorney Huguenor is a board-certified specialist in Family Law, a distinction bestowed upon just 982 of California’s 200,000 attorneys, according to the Association of Certified Family Law Specialists. He joins fewer than 400 who earned their certification in Family Law through the State Bar of California’s Board of Legal Specialization.

He earned his specialization certification in 1981, less than a year after the first California attorneys achieved Family Law specialization through a pilot program. Today, he joins less than 1 in every 200 California attorneys to have achieved such specialized certification in Family Law.

Martindale-Hubbell, one of the legal profession’s most well-known and respected legal networks of over 1 million lawyers in 160 countries, has awarded him its highest rating for professional excellence and legal ethics. The AV Peer Rating is awarded based on the confidential opinion of Attorney Huguenor’s peers in the legal community, including his fellow lawyers and judges.

Thomas M. Huguenor is licensed to practice law in the states of California, Arizona and Indiana, and is a member of the state bar in all three legal jurisdictions. He is a Judge Pro Tem in both San Diego Superior Court and El Cajon Municipal Court; author of “The Handbook of Family Law;” a frequent lecturer on Family Law topics at various legal seminars and workshops; and a guest host on TV and radio regarding Family Law.

The Law Office of Thomas M. Huguenor was founded on the belief that everyone is entitled to highly-qualified legal representation in all Family Law matters and the firm offers free and confidential appointments to anyone dealing with divorce or child custody issues in the San Diego area.
