I highly recommend her

Ms. Mahdavi has proven herself to be a solid and experienced divorce lawyer. I know no one wants to be forced into a family law case but sometimes that is out of your control. If you find yourself in this situation, you need someone like Ms. Mahdavi to fight on your behalf to protect what you have ...worked hard for.

Recommend

Stephanie and her staff have been super helpful throughout this difficult time. Making a decision to hire a lawyer and go to court isn't something anyone looks forward to. Their professionalism, knowledge, and kindness made me feel safe throughout the process. I definitely recommend Stephanie Mahdavi... to anyone going through the difficult process of Divorce.

Top-Notch Family Law & Divorce Lawyers

I could not be happier with the professionalism and the all-out offensive aggressiveness Stephanie Mahdavi provided for me and my kids. All I had to do was tell my story in detail, and Stephanie and the firm took it from there. You have made this emotional time as easy as one could provide. Than y...ou very much!

Run Fast

Stephanie Mahdavi was combative and competitive throughout my entire case which resulted in years of unnecessary litigation. She is an aggressive antagonist who will tell you that she is trying to settle your case, when in reality she intentionally causes more friction to ensure your need for her ser...vices. After all was said and done, every penny I hired her to fight for in my divorce went to paying her six figure bill and I was left with nothing. I will say that she is willing to lie for you in court and help hide your assets if you’re into that sort of thing. And your ex will have a hard time finding an attorney who is willing to waste their time and resources dealing with her.

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.
