One of the largest and fastest-growing family law firms in the United States — with 20+ attorneys and over 300 years of combined courtroom experience — expands into Northern California in 2026, making Reel Fathers Rights the only fathers’ rights firm with attorneys serving the entire state of California.
CORONA, CALIFORNIA — April 29, 2026 — Reel Fathers Rights, the premier family law firm in California dedicated exclusively to protecting and advancing the rights of fathers, today announced a major expansion into Northern California that will give the firm coverage of the entire state of California. With more than 20 attorneys and over 300 years of combined courtroom experience, Reel Fathers Rights is bringing the deepest, most experienced fathers’ rights bench in the state to dads from the Mexican border to the Oregon line.
The firm currently operates nine offices across Southern California, serving San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and Los Angeles Counties, and will now extend that footprint north — opening a new office in San Jose in July 2026, followed by additional locations in Sacramento and the Oakland / San Francisco Bay Area in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Reel Fathers Rights will begin taking cases on June 1, 2026 for select Northern California courthouses, with statewide coverage across California by January 1, 2027. Once complete, the expansion will make Reel Fathers Rights the most comprehensive network of California family law attorneys focused on fathers’ rights, divorce, and child custody matters — with one firm, one mission, and 300+ years of combined experience serving fathers in every major region of the state.

“Fathers across California deserve aggressive, compassionate, and deeply experienced legal representation — no matter what county they live in or what courthouse they’re walking into,” said Mark Reel Jr., Founder and CEO of Reel Fathers Rights. “With more than 300 years of combined courtroom experience and offices that will soon span the entire state, our team has the depth, expertise, and statewide reach that California fathers need when everything is on the line.”
