In a candid conversation on The Attorney Post, Omar Serrato offers critical insights into the legal and emotional complexities of family law, where over 70% of his practice is concentrated. Focusing on cases involving custody and visitation, Serrato emphasizes that most clients are emotionally invested parents—not adversaries—but tensions often lead them to expect aggressive courtroom performances.

Serrato highlights that this expectation can backfire. Instead, he champions a strategy rooted in empathy, preparation, and realistic planning. When children have lived primarily with one parent, courts typically favor maintaining that stability, regardless of the emotional stakes. He also warns about frivolous domestic violence claims and the potential misuse of AI-generated evidence, which may skew outcomes in sensitive cases.

In addition to family law, Serrato reflects on a pivotal criminal trial that resulted in a guilty verdict after four days of jury deliberation. The emotional fallout was so severe that he sought therapy and restructured his entire approach to witness preparation.

Some legal battles take strange turns. Serrato recounts a case where a woman falsely claimed pregnancy using fabricated ultrasound images found online. Her actions led to seven felony charges, highlighting the importance of verifying evidence and remaining vigilant, even in the most unusual circumstances.

Beyond the courtroom, Serrato engages with legal audiences through his Tilted Lawyer Podcast, contributing thoughtful perspectives while remaining critical of unqualified online content creators.

Serrato reminds clients of the financial toll of litigation, urging them to prioritize hiring strategic and communicative attorneys. Rather than pursuing personal vindication, the focus should remain on protecting family stability and crafting reasonable legal solutions.
