International Legal Matter
I consulted with Mr. Rastegar concerning a terribly complex international child custody matter. It is very difficult to find US lawyers who are also well-suited to handle international legal matters, but Mr. Rastegar is distinctly knowledgeable, incredibly strategic and an excellent problem solver. I highly recommend him.

Family Law Matter
Mr. Rastegar was recommended to me by a friend. During our first meeting he laid out a step by step strategy for how he thought we should approach my case. He kept me informed throughout the process and my case was resolved as I desired. I appreciate how cost-conscious he was in handling the case as well. I definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Excellent Attorney
Attorney Rastegar helped us with our lawsuit against nonperforming tenants. He was very knowledgeable in this area of law. He was able to settle our case for us and always kept us apprised of the status during negotiations. I highly recommend Attorney Rastegar for his professionalism and legal expertise.

The Best
Mr. Rastegar helped me close a case that was hanging over my head. The result was better than I could image. I am very grateful for his professional manner and knowledge of the law.

Thorough, Professional, and Client-Oriented
Mr. Rastegar was incredible at every step of the way in the planning of my family estate. His knowledge, thoroughness, and client-oriented approach was more than I could have asked for during our engagement. Given my busy work/life schedule, Mr. Rastegar was extremely accommodating in working with my schedule to complete my family estate. While I came prepared, having a bit of knowledge in this domain, I was very impressed with Mr. Rastegar's expertise in the field which gives me that much more comfort that my estate has been setup for success. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for estate planning.

Excellent, Honest, Service.
Jouya Rastegar, handled our law suit with professionalism, honesty, and high priority. He did everything in his power to make sure we got the best possible outcome while consistently communicating information and developments as soon as they happened. He provided us realistic expectations and made sure we understood every step of the process as well as the risks and potential outcomes of each decision we needed to make. My family and I are very relived and happy we can finally put this matter to rest and strongly feel we received the best representation possible as tenants in a state that is very landlord protective.

Caring and Professional Family Lawyer
Jouya represented me in my relatively easy divorce. While it was a relatively easy divorce, there were still several times I needed and relied upon Jouya’s advice and recommendations for how to handle certain situations. He was caring and extremely professional throughout the entire process.

Exceptional attorney
I hired Jouya to help me with a difficult divorce. I have worked with several lawyers in the past but my experience with Jouya was by far the best; he was professional, attentive, thorough, and always available to answer my many questions and concerns. He came up with a clear course of action and patiently explained every step in terms I would understand. I would highly recommend Jouya to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.

Real Estate
Jouya represented me throughout the purchase of my condo. I’ve worked with non-attorney real estate agents in the past, but after working with Jouya throughout this process, he demonstrated that having an attorney represent your interests during this process is much more beneficial. Jouya’s confidence and knowledge made purchasing my condo a smooth process.

Excellent estate attorney
We sought Jouya’s expertise out for estate planning purposes. I was amazed with the depth of Jouya’s knowledge on the topic, and how he could translate a complicated matter into something that I could easily digest. Furthermore, I always felt that Jouya and his staff were available for me to ask any questions during the process. I would highly recommend Jouya for any of your estate planning needs.

Expert, Professional and Comforting
Jouya was outstanding on both occasions I seeked his counsel. He was not only very knowledgeable about the subject matter on my cases, he also did all the leg work and made it very easy on me. Court matters can be a daunting experience however his expertise and confidence were not only comforting but also resulted in a smooth and seemless process from start to finish.

Great Experience!
Mr. Rastegar helped me resolve a business dispute that arose from differing interpretations of contract language. From the very beginning he was attentive to my concerns and I felt that he really cared. Throughout the ordeal he was shrewd, deliberate and professional. I learned a great deal from him and was pleased with the outcome. I will definitely consult him again in the future and highly recommend his services.

Excellent experience - Highly recommend!
Jouya was patient, attentive, ethical and always punctual to every appointment. He worked closely with me through a business transaction and caught several mistakes that a previous attorney had missed - which ended up saving me a LOT of money and potential risk. I've been known to be a little difficult and can ask a lot of questions, however, he was patient with me the entire time and calmly answered and explained everything to me. I'd absolutely recommend him and will continue to work with Jouya for any legal needs in the future.

Great lawyer
Jouya is an excellent lawyer who takes his time to get to know your case. He gives you the pros and cons of actions you might take. He helped me with my divorce/child custody. He was there to answer any of my questions and I felt like he really cared about getting me the best deal for my family. He knows a lot about the laws in Virginia, which helped my case. He's a tough lawyer, but also reasonable, which was helpful when working with the other side. And I liked that he didn't charge me unnecessarily like some other lawyers. I would definitely hire him again for family law or any other disputes I may have.
