Corona, California— Tom Chapin, a Senior Trial Attorney at Reel Fathers Rights, has been selected to the 2027 California Super Lawyers list, one of five Reel Fathers Rights attorneys named to the Super Lawyers or Rising Stars lists this year. This exclusive honor recognizes the top 5% of outstanding lawyers in California who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Chapin has practiced law in California since his admission to the State Bar in 2002 and represents fathers and men in divorce, child custody, child support, and domestic violence matters from the firm’s Corona office. He is the author of a practitioner’s guide on prosecuting and defending domestic violence restraining orders and has published legal opinions in family law. Before joining Reel Fathers Rights he served as Lead Counsel for Humboldt County Counsel, and his practice also includes tribal court litigation.
“Family court is the worst stretch of most of our clients’ lives. They are frightened, they are angry, and they are making decisions they cannot undo,” said Mark Reel Jr, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Reel Fathers Rights. “Tom walks them through it. He knows the law cold, and he keeps a man steady when everything else in his life is coming apart. That is the hardest part of this work, and Tom does it every day.”
Recognition Across the Firm
Chapin’s selection is part of a broader run of recognition for Reel Fathers Rights. Five of the firm’s attorneys were named to the 2027 California Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, and five were included in the 2027 editions of The Best Lawyers in America and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America. Three Reel Fathers Rights attorneys are Certified Family Law Specialists certified by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization, the only credential California permits an attorney to describe as a specialty. Reel Fathers Rights ranked No. 13 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 and No. 337 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, and was the fastest growing family law firm in the United States both years.
