Highly recommend – One of the best divorce attorneys

I had the pleasure working with Laila and her skilled team (Amanda, Erin, and Hasti) to represent me in a contested divorce case. I came to Raheen Family Law and met with Laila after leaving another firm, where I wasted a couple of months working almost on my own to meet multiple deadlines with ver...y little guidance due to lack of communication & experience of my previous attorney. I was not satisfied with poor outcomes and decided to switch lawyers. Given the tight deadlines, that was one of the most challenging & stressful decisions I ever made. After consulting with Laila, she accepted representing me in my divorce case, and since then the situation totally changed. Laila and her team provided me with valuable guidance and support to supplement and polish the required legal documents. She listened carefully to me and addressed my concerns. She clearly explained the various steps in the process and kept me informed on the progress. At the end she negotiated on my behalf and achieved a very favorable settlement agreement for my case. Throughout the process, I found Laila very dedicated to help achieving the best possible outcomes for my case. She is such a smart, knowledgeable, confident and very skillful negotiator. She has a strong presence in litigation settings that no one can deny. I’m glad that Laila was on my side I wish Laila and her wonderful team a continued success and all the best in future. Once again … Many Thanks to Laila & her team for all the help & support!

THE BEST!

Laila was my fourth attorney in my divorce case, and she is the best. She listened me carefully at my consultation meeting. She gathered the evidences very calmly but fought aggressively with all her heart regarding each of the finest details. She has a highly professional team working behind the ...scene.

Truly the best in her industry

I can say that I have entered into the darkest hours of my life now that my marriage of 37 years is dissolving. It leaves one empty inside! Then, I found Laila Raheen at Raheen Family Law. She has become the light at the end of this very unfortunate dark and dreary path that I find myself traveling. ...She has mastered the art of navigating through the laws and statues that she deploys in and out of the courtroom motivated with securing my best interests. If you are going to hire a lawyer, hire Laila Raheen you will not be disappointed. If you’re going to place your livelihood into someone’s hands, look no further, your representation is right here. Thank you Laila for all that you have done and will continue to do. Your unwavering laser guided focus on securing a win elevates you above the rest and proves you to be not only an asset but a credit to this industry. BZ Respectfully, Dave Devendorf

Highly competent divorce attorney!

I hired Laila to represent me in my divorce after twenty-seven years of marriage. I feel that, with Laila as my attorney, I received excellent legal representation. Her expertise in divorce law and professionalism are top notch. She iss very knowledgeable and helped me through many difficult situatio...ns that arose during my divorce case. She and her skilled team were very prompt with their correspondence and kept me updated throughout the entirety of my case. I strongly recommend Laila to anyone seeking a highly competent divorce attorney!

Ms. Raheen is professional, efficient, trustworthy, and responsive

I hired attorney Laila Raheen, to represent me in my recent divorce and I am pleased with my selection of Ms. Raheen and Livesay & Myers. My first meeting with Ms. Raheen was in the office and it put my mind at ease, and confirmed that I was making the right decision by proceeding with the divorce. ... She is extremely professional and explained the process to me in a very straightforward way. Most of the paperwork required was sent and received via email and communication was responsive, intelligent, and helpful. I also worked with paralegal, Ms. Taryn Arp, who was very organized and kept the process moving forward. Once all paperwork was in, the process moved extremely quickly. I was expecting to receive a court date months after submitting paperwork, but instead I received an email very soon after stating my divorce had been finalized. I was quite pleasantly surprised at how simple and fast it was completed. Now, it could be that because we are in a pandemic, and my case was simple (childfree and assets already separated) that it was accelerated, I am not sure. Another benefit was that the costs were reasonable, and invoices were itemized in 10-minute increments, so the process was open and transparent (you will not be overcharged). In all, I would highly recommend Laila Raheen to anyone looking for a fair, professional, responsive, and efficient attorney with expert guidance.
