Steven G. Hittelman
Managing Partner

Steven G. Hittelman started his career in Orange County, California, as the first Deputy District Attorney dedicated solely to family law cases. He was quickly recruited into private practice at one of Orange County’s premier law firms and became Managing Partner of his own Newport Beach family law firm in 2011. Today, with over 25 years of experience, he and his team at Hittelman Family Law Group continue to handle all facets of family law for clients throughout Southern California.

Mr. Hittelman’s depth of family law experience and passion for guiding his clients to a successful outcome is the hallmark of his practice. He is a Certified Family Law Specialist with the State Bar of California, a distinction only 1% of all California attorneys achieve. He understands the difficulties clients are going through when they face the end of a marriage, the change in the relationship as a parent to a child, and the numerous other challenges in family law matters. Mr. Hittelman knows that each case is unique, and calls on his extensive family law background to determine the best approach to receive positive results for his clients.

Designated a Super Lawyer since 2005, Mr. Hittelman’s expertise in family law has led to his election as the President of the Family Law Section of the Orange County Bar Association twice, service on the Orange County Bar Association Board of Directors for six years, membership on the Executive Board of the State Bar of California Family Law Section to review California family law legislation, and position as an Executive Board member of the California Lawyers Association.

Mr. Hittelman donates his time to run domestic violence legal clinics at the Human Options shelter and has served as a Judge Pro Tem in both Los Angeles Superior Court and Orange County Superior Court. He also enjoys educating new attorneys on family law issues such as custody and visitation at the annual “Bridging the Gap” conference run by the Orange County Bar Association and supporting his alma mater, Southwestern Law School, where he earned his Juris Doctorate in 1994.
