Slaveia Lazarova Iankoulova

I have been represented by Slaveia Iankoulova, Esq since 2018. I initially went to the court seeking a restraining order for my son and myself, a traumatic episode, as it was a lonely and frightening experience with processes that make little or no sense to one who does not work with the law or in t...he legal system. After initially being denied my request, I realized this process required expertise and one who could maneuver the maze of family law in California. I was referred to a multi-counsel firm and Slaveia was assigned my case. Adding to the primary protective order I was seeking was the separate divorce filling. Slaveia was not like other attorneys I had encountered. She read and knew my case inside and out, she was always on time for court (pre and during Zoom), she never left an email or voice message go unanswered, and she advised and guided me through the entire process, with her calm but commanding presence, both inside and out of court. Slaveia litigated successfully on behalf of my son and I, and we were granted a 3-year personal protective order as well as equable divorce settlement. In 2021, I needed to renew my protective order, found she was no longer at the prior firm, and I searched to find her, as I could not imagine having anyone else take over my case. I found her private practice, reached out to her immediately, and she recalled my case not missing a beat. The importance of connecting with her again was significant because I was not just another case to her, she really cared about the outcome, was kind, compassionate, and her knowledge of family law exemplarily. Slaveia, again, successfully litigated my case January 2022, and my son and I were granted our request for a protective order renewal, 5 years. I am so grateful to have found Slaveia during the most challenging time in my life. I have witnessed her kind, compassionate demeanor as well as her experience in family law, and would highly recommend her services to anyone needing representation. And if needed in the future, I would not have anyone else take my case. I do not have the words to express how thankful I am for Slaveia.
