Nina Shayan Depatie

Nina was an absolute find in my family law proceeding. She is smart, compassionate and has a brilliant legal mind. She guided a difficult client (me) through a challenging process with compassion and diligent focus. While I was a client of hers, I’m also a practicing litigation attorney and can s...ay without a doubt she’s a consummate professional with well-deserved accolades.

After years of therapy both couples and 1:1, I found myself in the painful position of getting a divorce from my partner of 18 years, I was referred to Nina Shayan Depatie, Esq. in Los Angeles to represent me. During our first phone call, I knew she was the counselor I needed to help move the process... forward - which can be daunting, confusing, and at times emotionally debilitating. Nina is patient, highly intelligent, strategic, thoughtful, extremely professional, and is truly committed to always doing the right thing…for all concerned. I immediately felt “safe” upon retaining her to represent me and knew that we would achieve the best outcome possible in the most trying of circumstances. With her guidance, discipline, and unwavering commitment to moving this process along in the most efficient and effective manner, she created an civil environment that can often take many months, if not years, to finalize. With Nina at the helm and dealing with less than reasonable opposing counsel, we were able to come to a successful and acceptable agreement for both parties within a couple of short months. I hope I never have to employ Nina in this capacity again but feel fortunate to have had her in my corner to represent me. I may not be able to call her a friend, but I will always think the world of her and am so incredibly happy and grateful our paths crossed, even in the most difficult of circumstances. Thank you, Nina, VERY MUCH!
