Families Supported

Are you contemplating the end of your marriage and seeking professional guidance without the hefty attorney fees? Look no further. Lazar Legal Solutions and Mediation in Santa Maria is your dedicated paralegal service, providing affordable and expert support for document preparation and mediation. Navigate the complexities of divorce with us, and let’s work towards a positive resolution for you and your family.

How Mediation Works

The couple, with the help of the mediator, discusses and comes to mutual agreement on the issues at hand. Sometimes agreements come easy, sometimes they take time and a lot of work. When agreements are hard to reach, that is when the mediator intervenes. It is the mediator’s job to keep the lines of communication open, brainstorm ideas, reality test the couple, teach empathy and assist the couple in their decision making process.

Mediation is flexible and confidential. It gives you and your spouse a way to settle the conflict between you in a way that helps you to work together as parents. This is extremely important if you have children and must interact with your ex-spouse after you are divorced.

A divorce mediator is neutral and doesn’t “work” for either parent. That means the mediator cannot give advice to either party. They must remain neutral no matter what the situation.

What the mediator can do, though, is assist the divorcing couple in formulating ideas that can eventually lead to agreements that will stand the test of time. That open and free exchange of information frees up both spouses to negotiate with each other in confidence.

Read what our clients say about their experience with our services.

Tony and his staff helped me with a very difficult child custody case. I was very upset and I couldn't think about how my case would be resolved. I was very emotional and Tony understood my emotions and was able to help me calm down. My case was taking a toll on my life and I didn't know where to turn. When I met Tony he calmly informed me of the way I should go about moving forward with my case. I was also pleased that Tony allowed me to make payments for his service. I never felt pressured to pay and the work was complete before I finished paying him. I would recommend C4 to friends and family.

I had the privilege of working with both Tony and Crystal with my divorce process. Tony made a difficult process much smoother. The entire team's professionalism, expertise, and dedication to fairness were truly outstanding. They created an open and collaborative environment, ensuring both my ex-husband and I felt heard and respected. I highly recommend their services for anyone seeking a compassionate and efficient resolution to their divorce.

Mary M.

My soon-to-be ex and I used C4 for mediation and preparation of our divorce agreement. I was very anxious the first time I went in, and Tony put me at ease. He is very responsive, a great listener, and very professional at all times. I was impressed with how he was able to help us come to an agreement that worked for everyone. The cost was SO much less than an attorney would have been , which was a win for everyone. I highly recommend C4 Legal Assistance and Mediation.

Big thank you to Tony Coles at C4 legal. Called his office and spoke with him the same day, no wait. He was able to handle things faster than I could have made an appointment with an attorney. He was informative, efficient and easy to talk and great at explaining the process. From beginning to end they flew through the process and it was done in no time. The longest part was waiting on the courts, but once they signed the order Tony had it to me the next day. Would use again and highly recommend. Thank you Tony!

My husband and I had a consultation with Tony a couple day ago. although his firm wasn't able to help being the situation wasn't fightable enough. Tony still took the time with us, He was very professional and gave my husband and I great feedback.
We will definitely consider using him in the future if ever needed.
Thanks Tony!

Thank you Tony and Crystal for helping me through a hard time back in 2019. Helped me get my divorce and full custody of my daughter. They are very patient, helpful, and understanding. When I had questions they would get back to me quickly. Then when I needed an actual court stamp on my documents they did it for me a year or 2 later, for free. Then when I needed another copy this year they helped me and printed it for free. Thank you for your services and kindness. My husband and I will definitely use their services again, so my husband can adopt my daughter.

Well I'm so happy to see that with COVID-19 happening around us off and on in California that Tony and his staff are able to work and follow mandatory mandates and keep a terrific business going In my book that's dedication to their customers & existing clients like me. They were able like always to get me scheduled for an appointment and into the office ASAP and most importantly was able to resolve my problem in minutes that I was worrying about all weekend.

I would recommend Tony and Crystal if your looking to go through mediation. Tony was very professional and explained the process as we trudged through this ongoing divorce. He was quick to respond to the courts, while Crystal kept me in the loop of what was going on. I had a restraining order in my case, and without C4 Legal I wouldn't of known how to handle the paperwork or get emergency temporary spousal support. I was so emotional and couldn't think straight. As many of you could probably relate. So I give C4 Lagal
A 5 Star. Thank you Tony and Crystal for your support.

I can't say enough about my experience with C4. I came to them broken, and no one was willing to help. I had been quoted 7k and 10k by multiple attorneys.
Tony believed in me, and offered to help. He was honest, up front and patient. He only charged me a fraction of what everyone else said. My situation was settled quickly and easily.

If you are in a situation where you need help with documents, you should really call Tony first. I wouldn't even waste my time or money with other people.

When I needed help to revise my Mother's family trust. Tony at C4 was more than helpful. He went the extra mile. He came to my house for the final signing with a Notary, and he didn't overcharge us for the great service he gave. I can highly recommend him to all my family and friends. I wouldn't use anyone else.

Scott C.

Amazing service. I appreciative that Tony did not used terminology I did not understand at all. He also explained the meaning of terminology used in the Law/court system.

When you are under stress things don't make sense at all! Everything it intimidating and it's an emotional experience.

Tony Coles Helps you get over those hurdles and stress. I highly recommend him to anybody that has trouble like I did! Trouble understanding the court process, trouble understanding forms, trouble with how to request what you want. If you want to fight for yourself and children go to Tony Coles.

Go to Tony for legal matters

I had someone in front of me quickly and ready to listen to my situation. They gave me all the resources, knowledge, and advice they can offer to help you get by during this difficult time.

C4 Legal, Has come through again, Tony and his staff was able to get some of my personal forms done for me that I had no clue of where to start or who to ask, I was able to meet with the staff at C4 legal and they were able to handle all of the paperwork for me and getting it done the right way the first time gives me peace of mind.
They were Great!

2019-07-21

I was in need of quick mediation services. Mediation through the court had a two month waiting list. Tony and Crystal were amazing. They got us right in, and helped my ex and I come to agreements that would’ve been impossible without them. They were friendly, professional, and fair to both parties. When I walked in I was nervous and lost, when I left I felt so much better about the whole situation. Great people and great service. I highly recommend!

Tony helped us navigate what can only be described as an atypical divorce. He was helpful and professional. There is no way we could have done this without his help. I would highly, highly recommended this agency to help others. Thank you Tony!!

I am so glad I chose to meet with a paralegal instead of an attorney. Tony Coles is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. His expertise saved me so much time and money.

Cindy Schneider

Great pricing for the excellent work that they did for me personally and for my company. They set up my company to be a Corporation they knew just what they were doing, I had my Corporation up and running in no time, and if I need any extra help or questions they can set me up an appointment at a minimum fee.
Five Stars for sure.
