This transition reflects our firm's continued growth, our enduring commitment to providing exceptional service to our clients, and our recognition of Shareholder Matthew Breddan's leadership role since joining the firm in 2013.
As part of this continued evolution, the firm is proud to announce that Attorneys Matthew J. Chung and Samantha M. Essayan have joined firm leadership as non-equity partners. Each brings several years of experience, a demonstrated commitment to the firm's clients and values, and a shared dedication to serving the broader community. Their addition to leadership reflects the firm's investment in the next generation of attorneys who will help guide Reape-Rickett & Breddan forward.
While our name is changing, our mission remains the same: to provide family law services second to none while empowering our clients with the knowledge and information they need to make reasoned, results-oriented decisions.
Reape-Rickett & Breddan will continue to serve families primarily throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, while assisting clients across Southern California with the care, experience, and dedication they have come to expect from our firm.
We are grateful for the trust our clients, colleagues, and community have placed in us over the years, and we look forward to continuing to serve as trusted advocates for families navigating important legal matters.
Sincerely
Reape-Rickett & Breddan
