Christelle Carlon

Christelle Carlon is a California family law attorney at ADZ Law, LLP and a Certified Family Law Specialist with experience handling complex domestic matters. She has practiced exclusively in family law since 2014 and represents clients in divorce, dissolution, custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, domestic violence, parental rights, premarital agreements, postmarital agreements, and cohabitation agreements. Her work reflects careful preparation, practical judgment, and strategic advocacy for clients facing emotional family transitions.

Carlon earned her J.D. from California Western School of Law in 2009, where she participated in the Family Law Society and volunteered with the YWCA domestic violence clinic. She also graduated from the University of California, San Diego, majoring in Economics and Political Science. Her coursework in financial analysis, econometrics, and budgetary policy supports her ability to evaluate financial issues in family law cases.

Carlon previously represented creditors in bankruptcy and foreclosure matters before dedicating her practice fully to family law. This background gives her additional insight when cases involve financial records, property division, debt issues, and high-asset concerns. She helps clients pursue amicable and intelligent separations when possible, while remaining prepared to advocate strongly in contested custody, domestic violence, and high-conflict family law matters when resolution requires litigation.

Christelle Carlon is an active member of the State Bar of California and serves as co-chair of the San Mateo County Bar Association Family Law Section. She also serves on the board of Community Overcoming Relationship Abuse and has supported its Board Development Committee, including prior co-chair service in 2022 and 2023. Clients can rely on her for compassionate guidance, preparation, and focused family law representation.
