About Reza
Biography
With nearly 20 years of experience in Family Law, Reza Golesorkhi is recognized as one of a handful of elite divorce lawyers in the Washington Metropolitan Area. He has successfully resolved many notable and complex divorce cases.
Reza’s command of the courtroom, coupled with his adept negotiation skills and sharp mind set him apart from other lawyers. He is well respected as a “top-flight” courtroom advocate and “the divorce lawyer” you want in court. Reza’s clientele include the metropolitan area’s top attorneys, lobbyists, and corporate professionals as well as their spouses.
As counsel to many high net worth clients, Reza understands the significance, complexity, and importance of clients’ issues. He knows the benefits of better controlling the outcome and resolving cases outside of the courtroom. Reza carefully weighs settlement offers and positions his clients toward a successful outcome. Reza’s appellate cases have created important precedents in family law, including the seminal case in Maryland on the enforceability of the Mahr, a secular marriage contract entered under Islamic marriage law.

Worst Lawyer and Not Professional
