Posted by Nasrin | September 22, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Best Divorce and Appeal Attorney!

I hired Mr. Samandari in 2014 and the reason I hired him was because of his ethics. He told me right up front that he is not the lawyer for me if dragging through the mud and being dishonest is what I was looking for. He said that he goes by the book and presents the facts and that is what has made h...im successful. This was all that I wanted. I only wanted what was fair. I was even impressed that before anything was done with my case, I was asked if I was certain that there was nothing that could be done to save my marriage. Coming from a divorce attorney? Yes, and that impressed me. I was kept up to date on everything and given copies of all documents and was treated as though I was his only case, although I knew that was definitely not the case. My questions were answered thoroughly and in a timely manner, and believe me, I had many. Mine was a long case, three plus years, including APPEAL COURT which appealing in the appeal court of California, is not an easy process and in the end, I was happy with the outcome and felt I was FREE and now we are going to gain access to funds awarded to me by the courts, Family court and Court of Appeal, during my divorce. I also had a problem with the ex-spouse not paying court-ordered support payments. Each time we went to court, Mr. Samandari was always pleasant and acknowledged everyone and seemed to be very well respected by all who he encountered. I would highly recommend this attorney!

Great attorney,knowledgeable,professional, honest

Mr Samandari is one the most amazing, professional attorneys I have worked with. My divorce case was very complicated as my husband was not in The US ,there also was a minor child and lots of other things involved in my case. The way I was treated by Mr Samandari through out my case gave me the fe...eling that I wasn't just a case for him and it wasn't about money at all.He really cares about his clients and treat them like a human being . Every single time I tried to contact him, he responded to me ( either call or text messages) or he returned my calls as soon as he could. He was even so helpful like this, before I had officially hired him as I was getting consultations from him earlier.there were times he went out of his way and responded to me on weekends . Every single time he patiently listened to me and answered all my questions and concerns either over the phone ,texts or in our meetings . I was informed and updated regarding every single piece of information related to my divorce case ( either received from or sent to the other party). Mr Samandari prepared my divorce declaration extremely professionally with all the supporting documents orderly and perfectly attached that got my rights and child custody with not much of hassle since everything was very clear and made perfect sense to the judge . He is an amazing attorney and I feel so lucky to have him handling my divorce. It was a pleasure working with him and I would highly recommend Mr Samandari to anyone who wants their case to be handled professionally and get the best result.

Great Attorney

I retained Ardalan as my family attorney. He is very sharp and understands clients needs. He gets to the point and not waste time and consequently saves you time and money during your divorce process. Id a great experience with him and was not frustrated with my divorce case dragging on. That is why... I will highly recommend him to friends and family.

The best lawyer, child support/family law

I am so happy with what Mr. Samandari did for my child support case, going on for over 5 years. He spent so much time with me going over all the details. Mr. Samandari puts in so much of himself is his cases, he is like a friend now. He was finally able to settle my 5 year long battle for child suppo...rt and I am forever grateful to him.

An Honest Attorney

It is impossible to quantify what Ardalan Samandari has done for me. He is the best. He is the most trustworthy lawyer among those lawyer which I have seen in Los Angeles. He defended my case in the Los Angeles Supreme Court with resolution and determination in front of Judge. I won and finalized t...he case to my favor.He never left me alone and he always stayed in touch during my case process. He spent more than usual time for my case and carefully listened to my issues about the case. He always gives me the best advice. He is punctual throughout the case. He is highly professional. He is very knowledgeable and I found out that he was a top student in the Law School. He doesn't sugar coat things. I am proud of knowing him and having him as my lawyer. I cannot put my feelings into words but whenever I remember how he defended me, it brings tears to my eyes, spontaneously.

"Mr. Samandari is a meticulous and hard working attorney. He first approaches every legal issue not with what the law states but what makes logical sense since almost any law can be found to justify every legal issue. He quickly understands more so than most attorneys his client's legal issues and is not afraid to tackle any issue his client might have because in the end he knows what makes sense for his clients. That along with his dedication to the proper research for any of his client's issues ensures that his clients almost always come out on top."
