Shane did a masterful job with my divorce. He expertly navigated me through the bumps and delays that happen with these proceedings, and offered proper guidance to me to avoid creating any additional ones. Not only would I recommend him to others, I have!

Amazing representation. I had a complicated and long divorce. Accusations and manipulative behavior came from all sides and Shane was able to help navigate the twists and turns but also keep me aware of their tactics. I believe he helped get me a fair settlement in the most cost effective manner. Would highly recommend if you are dealing with abuse, CPS, or you ex- has a narcissistic personality. Let Shane or Sam represent you while you find your strength.

I used Shane Brengle for personal reasons and had a fantastic experience with him and his staff. He was knowledgeable while caring and direct. With his help I was able to accomplish what I needed and it was beyond my expectations. I have referred many clients and friends to him.

Sam Godkin settled my divorce in a timely manner. Sam has great knowledge of the law and helped me tremendously from beginning to end. I knew he was the one to hire. He was always available to answer questions and give me advice to help make the decisions that would later impact my life. The staff was great to work with and very professional. I definitely recommend Godkin and Bengle to settle your divorce. I am absolutely happy with the outcome!

Shane Brengle is an outstanding and very ethical attorney. I am from Silicon Valley and had endless legal contacts in Santa Clara County, but this was not the case in San Diego. I had several post-judgment issues to address. Unfortunately, I only asked one person in San Diego for a family law referral. What I learned is that you should never ask one person for a referral, and that just because an attorney has years of experience with lots of good reviews doesn’t make them the best choice. Luckily, Shane worked on my case for a few months at the law firm I hired. After he left, I quickly realized that I had to find the law firm that Shane Brengle had moved to: GYL Law Firm. I hired Shane in July 2018, and he successfully closed the case on October 1, 2018. He was tasked with getting ongoing support for an adult child with special needs, a community stock options split, child support arrears, child care arrears, the cost of moving away from Santa Clara County, guideline support, attorney fees, Smith-Ostler 2008-2012 arrears, and 10% compounding interest on all contempt orders. Shane Brengle was successful in winning every issue on the calendar before the court. I was told by most of top attorneys in San Diego that it was impossible to win ongoing support for an adult child with special needs. I also received a post-judgment settlement for $282,000, which was handled in three months. Instead of spending years wasting my settlement, he made it happen in three months. If you are facing a divorce or post-judgment case and you are not sure who or where to turn to for legal help, I highly recommend Shane Brengle @ Godkin & Brengle LLP. After a long-term post-judgment case, I was faced with returning to court for a case in which there was a significant amount of assets that needed to be divided after divorethicalcte and child custody issues that needed to be resolved. I came to Shane when my then-current negotiation strategy had failed and I was heading for trial. Shane’s experience in family law quickly put me on a strategic legal path that brought my particularly difficult case to a successful close without trial. Shane is an attorney you can trust and feel comfortable with. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and he communicates well. Almost everyone has heard the saying, “You get what you pay for.” From my one-time experience, there is nothing about divorce that can be called easy or inexpensive. In Shane’s hands you will get what you need: immense experience, great advice, compassionate service. You will definitely get what you pay for: highly competent, no-nonsense, trustworthy representation that will get your post-judgment case to a close, while ensuring that your best interests are served.
