Sogand Zamani

Zamani and Associates handled my son's adoption with professionalism, experience, and clear communication. The attorneys and their team guided me through the process and navigated the court system during the pandemic with ease and speed. They were also were genuine and caring as they managed every de...tail, and I was impressed and thrilled when the adoption finalized with no issues. I highly recommend Zamani and Associates.

Sogand was referred to me by a respected friend, and after an initial meeting with her, I knew I had found the legal support I was looking for to move forward with my divorce and custody interests. I appreciated her experience and active engagement of Collaborative Divorce principles, which aligned w...ith values I held for me and my family. When her counterpart grew hostile and contentious, Sogand and her team did not respond in kind, and were there to provide me with the unyielding support and highly informed legal advice necessary to realize my goals. Throughout the process, Sogand and her team communicated with a sense of compassion, confidence, and directness that I greatly appreciated. I could not have hoped for a more tenacious and knowledgeable advocate for my case. I recommend Zamani and Associates without reservation.

"Sogand was a life-saver. She gave excellent counsel; her legal strategy was on-point and highly effective; her advocacy was a blend of tenacity and empathy; her combination of legal acumen, experience and genuine care for my children and I provided welcome reassurance, an island of sanity when life ...seemed increasingly absurd."

I came into the consultation very emotional, devastated, and desperate. Sogand was empathetic, warm, and also honest, which is what I really needed. She set my expectations to be realistic and in the end helped me see that what was most important was that I come out of this secure, safe, and happy.... I am very happy with the legal advice and care I received. She was very clear in explaining to me what she thought the best course of action was, while ultimately leaving the choice to me. She is professional, knowledgeable and a force to be reckoned with in the court room. In the end she helped me achieve a generous settlement and divorce in under a year. And more importantly, though not my primary source of support, she helped to refocus me in times of emotion to look at what was most important for me and my future, helping me strip the anger away from my decisions. And that has helped me grow and heal. I would wholeheartedly recommend at least a consultation if you're looking for someone to fight for you and truly have your best interests in mind.

Zamani and Associates helped me with one of the most difficult things in my life, a child custody issue after I returned overseas. I think some lawyers were leery because it was international and had some complicated issues from strong cultural differences, overseas living complexity with many differ...ent countries, work conflict, attempts at restraining orders, diverse family relations and even psychological exams and home studies! I was facing a trial and an unknown chaos of what custody would look like in the midst of all of this. I was given an excellent attorney reference to them after struggling for weeks to find a good attorney. I also am myself an attorney. I read the reviews and was convinced, except they said “holistic,” which is normally is very positive. However, my friends and family recommended an “aggressive” attorney because of the difficulties I faced with my ex and inability to stop them. Zamani and Associates more than lived up to their reviews! I was explained my options clearly, which I thought were not possible. They recommended settlement immediate and indeed settled it quickly as they predicted. I went from a dreaded trial posture and an unlivable living arrangement with my children to obtaining an agreement with a livable arrangement without trial after settlement. What I liked best was their calm demeanor, attention to detail, attempts to follow the client’s wishes balanced with realism and courteous prompt responses from all in their office. I actually knew it was the right office when I first walked in and met their administrative assistant and other staff. They assist in relationship management, communications and helped me like no other in minimizing difficult interaction with my former partner at settlement meetings and according to my wishes. I valued their personal skills, contacts with other attorneys, and ability to work well with diverse family members. They were unphased by the international, cultural, complex procedural and family web. They always had a common “it can be solved” demeanor. With Zamani & Associates, I did not just engage strong legal minds, but I gained well connected, skilled attorneys familiar with DC courts. They are also effective as a firm on critical financial issues in my case. I previously experienced great time delays from other attorneys without receiving needed advice. The firm also handled billing professionally and reasonably. Their rates and billing process were clear, which was previously another big stressor. This really speaks to their integrity, ethical, and quality as a firm. Zamani and Associates brought relief to my children and family, and even the opposing party appears to be happy. My experience shows how positive a “holistic” approach can be and how important it is for family in conflict. My family circumstances may never be totally easy, but the tools that Zamani & Associates gave me, including books on communication and brushoffs from their constructive attitude, really helped my me and my family.
