Lawyer of My Heart

Masah and I met years ago when she canceled my first divorce. Needless to say, I never thought I would be in the same position and needed to call on her once again. But this second time around my spouse was extremely toxic. His lawyer was extremely toxic, which had me emailing calling, writing emails... in the middle of the night and through it all Masah remain professional she remain calm, and most importantly she really cared! The most important take away is that she cared about my family. She cared about my feelings, and she cared about how much was spent, and how much I could really afford. In the end, there is no way that I would have completed this journey alone, or without her. Thank you so much!

Worst mistake ever

We had a monthly contract for two years and nothing ever got done. It cost me four times as much to get a divorce and still no resolution. They never returned my calls but kept changing me a grand a month with no accountability for how my mom was being spent. I finally went with Courtney Mehta who g...ives detailed accounting of the money charged. Do not use this law firm it’s a ripoff. Their billboards in minority neighborhoods are deceptive I spent so much money on a divorce that should have been done in a year but they stretched it out to make more money on me. Beware what you agree to and do your research on how to get good legal service

Worst experience ever

I would not suggest hiring this firm for any reason. This firm is inconsiderate, unprofessional and greedy. You will pay handsomely for an excessive period of time and see absolutely no result.

Excellent Service

I was probably the worse client a divorce attorney could have I was super stressed out daily, calling and emailing Masah every day and changing my mind about decisions we already agreed upon multiple times, as you can imagine a divorce is hard on everyone especially when the parties don’t agree on an...ything, Masah is amazing she stepped into my very messy ( already ongoing case with a terrible attorney of whom didn’t care about me one bit) and she sorted out everything, helped me make decisions with a clear mind instead of acting on pain and SHE ACTUALLY CARES about her clients, I HIGHLY Recommend

Thank you

My name is Lavor and I am going into my last semester of college. Through my whole college experience I have struggled to get a chance to see them. The mother of my children had complete control on when I see my kids, how much time, and what I can and cannot do with them. In these situations the male... is always viewed as the bad guy. Masah did view me as that. She help me get back connect to my kids and finally get control of my life!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
