I have been practicing law since 1995. I have spent much of my time helping fathers who are in arrears with their child support payments. Many of them have had their wages garnished, drivers' licenses suspended or levies on their bank accounts. I help get their lives back on track by placing them on a reasonable payment plan and releasing their driver's and professional licenses so that they can continue living a normal life. I can also help modify your support payments and reverse some of the judgments made against you if there is a basis for it. At times clients are charged with a misdemeanor for non-payment of child support for which we also help resolve their cases in order not to plead to a misdemeanor charge.
Many of our clients are out of state clients whom we end up representing without them ever traveling to Los Angeles. This saves clients a great deal of time and money and that is one of the reasons that I built a very informative website for them so that they can learn about me and how I can help them.
We also help retrieve licenses for clients who have suspended licenses due to either non-payment of a ticket or tickets, too many points on their driver's licenses, hold on their license or warrants out for their arrest for neglecting a ticket. We are 98% successful in getting these client's their licenses back which is crutial especially in LA. We handle all tickets and cases from beginning to end with no appearances necessary by the client. This saves our clients a great deal of time by not standing in long line or waiting in the courtrooms.
I also help commercial driver's licensees with their tickets by either attemtpting to dismiss or to lower their tickets to a no-point violation since the option of traffic school is not available to them.
Our firm also handles a great number of DUI case with best results in addition to all misdemeanor and felony criminal charges as well as personhal Injury and accident case.
Our reputation and keeping happy clients is of the outmost importance to me and I take great pleasure in helping clients get their lives back on track.

Absent representation
I hired Elena to represent me for a 25+ mph speeding ticket. Elena, and her assistants were totally fine and communicative until my case went to trial. After being told I didn't have to be there, and would be told within 7 days what the outcome was, it's been radio silence. Nothing and it's c...
Dear client as explained to you over the phone at times the courts do not give us the paperwork right away due to their heavy calendar and we have to wait to go back to court to obtain that. Without the paperwork from the court I would not know exactly how much you would have to pay and by when. Unfortunately I did not have the exact information to relay to you within the promised 7 days. As you stated on the phone to me you did not make any attempts to call my office either before you made your payment. If you had also made an attempt to call my office this information would have been relayed to you. I am sorry for the turnout as I had in fact gotten you a very good deal on your case. Thank you and wish you all the best.

Client: Keith M.
Hello, I hired Elena Mebtahi to help me on a child support case that had been lingering on for some time and was starting to take its toll on me emotionally. Elena gave me confidence in the days coming up to court and on the day of court, we succeeded as planned! I highly recommend her!
Keith, was a pleasure assisting you with your case and I thank you for your kind review.

Divorce
I never had a family law attorney before, but as soon as I met Elena, she made me feel comfortable and assured me she would do everything in her power to help me. It was a rough battle, but with her hard work and determination, she was able to get me divorced. She made things go very smooth, especial...
