Posted by Jenn | October 29, 2022 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

She is what all family lawyers should be.

I was referred to Rita in the middle of my divorce. Things hadn’t been going well and it was clear my case needed a change of pace. Rita’s intelligence and compassion during our consult won me over. I felt she would fight for me and have my back. I wasn’t wrong. Rita got me a pretty good settlement a...nd handled a rather vile opposing counsel masterfully. She didn’t feel like my attorney. It felt like she was my friend. Hire her. You won’t be sorry.

A smart lawyer who ACTUALLY cares about children and her clients!

Rita was a life saver during my custody suit. She was extremely knowledgeable about domestic violence law and child custody law; I couldn't be more pleased with her services. Best of all, she actually cared about both me and my daughter. In the end, I was awarded a restraining order, my daughter w...as protected with extended monitored visitation AND I was allowed to move out of the state to go back to school so I could provided a MUCH better life for my child. If you are looking for a great attorney with compassion do yourself a favor and meet with Rita.

Trust-worthy and smart!

Rita is not only smart, caring, and knowledgeable - she is compassionate. When going through a divorce it's a great thing to feel that your attorney is in your corner and has your back. I highly recommend Rita - Great Family Law Attorney!

Sharp and reasonable

Very sharp. Great cross-examination skills. Settled my case, with great results. Reasonable retainer fee.

compassionate attorney

I hired Rita Azizi to handle my request for restraining orders and child custody orders. She was extremely compassionate and courteous to me. Once inside the courtroom, she was aggressive and was able to show that my ex is a complete liar, on the stand. The judge granted my restraining order request,... and my baby is safe, because the visits are monitored, until my ex learns to be a good parent.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
