Hi everyone, I’m Dr. Michael Mantell with another Family Law Matters with Bonnie Rabinovitch Mantel, who is the owner and managing partner of the highly esteemed Primus Family Law Group. Hi Bonnie. Hi Michael, how are you doing today? Doing well, doing well.
(0:20 – 0:47)
Bonnie, let’s focus a little bit on the Primus Family Law Group. First of all, where are you located? Well, we’re right in the heart of Mission Valley in San Diego, but we serve all of the courthouses up to North County and South County, East County and Central. You have created a family-oriented drive in the culture of the Primus Family Law Group.
(0:47 – 1:28)
The operations, the way people treat people coming into the office, the way people treat each other, and for the clients you help, that’s really important. Talk a little bit about how you’ve created this culture of collaboration, and talk a little bit about this personalized approach that you and your team take. You know, Michael, before I started my own place in 2013, January 1, 2013, I worked for a larger firm, and I saw how they operated, and it was so much about the business and about making sure you calculated every copy that a client made, and you charged them for sneezing at the file, and I didn’t like it.
(1:28 – 1:55)
I never liked it, and I didn’t like it as an employee, and I didn’t like it when, you know, we’ve all had run-ins with attorneys, when I was on the receipt of invoices that looked like that from attorneys and other professionals. So when I opened my place, I knew that I wanted to stay smaller. You know, not a big place, but smaller so that all the attorneys and the staff, we can collaborate.
(1:56 – 2:34)
We can, hey, brainstorm ideas about cases, and those strategy sessions are never a cost that’s passed down to the client because those are the things that, you know, from which brilliant ideas happen, and then the work product gets done, and we all, myself, Kimberly Sewell, who’s also a certified family law specialist, she’s been doing it for over 10 years. I’ve been doing this 26 years. We have Wayne Rice, who’s been doing it 32 years, and he’s a family law specialist and has a civil background.
(2:34 – 2:56)
There’s so many things that each of us bring to the table from our individual experience that, Michael, makes our collective really a family, a family working for families. That is what we are. Yeah, and that’s why, and it comes across, just being in the office, it’s very clear that you seek closure.
(2:57 – 3:29)
You’re not there to fight and look for revenge. That’s not part of the Primus Family Law Group. If people wanna take part in this really very beautiful culture and move forward with their life, how can they be in touch? Well, they can reach us directly at 619-574-8000, and Rosie or Malani will put you on my calendar, or Kim’s or Wayne’s, for a free 30-minute Zoom or telephone consultation, as you prefer.
