AAML National Mission
In 1962, a group of highly-regarded domestic relations attorneys founded the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) with the intent of creating a society of highly-skilled, capable negotiators and litigators. The mission of the AAML was simple: Connect individuals with peer-reviewed, trustworthy attorneys near them. Today, the AAML has more than 1,650 fellows across 50 states. At the Southern California Chapter of the AAML, we're proud to help Californians find qualified, accomplished attorneys who will provide them with the counsel they deserve.
