Outstanding Attorney

I cannot imagine having been cared for better by any legal team. I chose Soheila in 2021 for her smarts, her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, and the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments. But it was her compassion that confirmed I...'d made the best decision for myself and my child. She was skillful in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so well taken care of. What other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a court-appointed meeting? And I came to see how keen she'd been in her advice. I was deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my son as if he were their own. They treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to the client, humble, and sweet. She slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. In the end, Soheila and Lynda proved their colors in the thoughtful support they showed when The Other Side and I wanted to move to third-party mediation while my ex-to-be found himself distastefully pressured by his attorney to avoid mediation and keep litigating, a course that clearly by that point was not in our son's best interest. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.

Best attorney's in Rancho Cucamonga

I found myself filing for divorce after 23 years of marriage and had no idea what attorney I could hire. I interviewed 2 firms prior to selecting Azizi Law and after speaking with Mr. Edmonson I was sold. This firm is not a huge conglomerate that will see you as a number. Instead, they feel like f...amily. Excellent customer service and huge shout out to Roe, front desk, for exceptional customer service. The retainer fee is not exorbitant and attorney is on point. He explained every step, was patient with my questions and made my divorce easy. You will not be disappointed!

Excellent Attorney

I hired Soheila Azizi to handle a legal matter for me. During the course of my family law matter I have fired many attorneys for over promising and ABSOLUTELY under delivering, and in some cases, not delivering at all due to lack of preparation and allowing their staff to handle everything. THIS is N...OT the case with Mrs. Azizi, when it was necessary for us to communicate she would reach out to me each and every time. Her staff - Ro Leyva, Lynda Walker, and Linda Cervantes are equally attentive, caring, and supportive. Prior to hiring Mrs. Azizi, I had a very negative opinion of attorneys, every single one I had was nothing but money hungry deceptive leaches. Mrs. Azizi and staff has worked diligently on my case despite having a balance or paid up. This experience has restored my faith in attorneys. If you have a legal matter within the scope of practice of this Firm, I HIGHLY recommend them. John D.

Amazing and professional

She is a firecracker in the court room. I was in a desperate situation with custody, and she helped me through a very difficult time. She was always very professional, and she actually cared about what was happening and I felt like I really had someone on my side. The paralegals at this office are... also amazing. Whenever I had a question or concern, they were always there to answer my phone calls or emails. It is so great to have these types of people in this industry. I would highly recommend them.

Soheila Azizi saved my life

My son is my life. Ms. Azizi and her amazing staff essentially saved it. I wont go into detail about my case, but despite immeasurable odds, a mountain of lies from the other party, and two separate judges, she was able to secure full legal and physical custody. Ms Azizi was the third lawyer I hire...d. The previous two were ambivalent to my case, often dumping me off to Jr. Associates after I'd paid them. One couldn't even remember if my kid was a boy or a girl 10 minutes before court. Ms. Azizi, on the other hand, was compassionate to the case the minute I walked into her door. They listened to what was happening and, again, saved my life. Not just amazing lawyers, but amazing people.

"I endorse this MEDIATOR. I have been working in mediation with Soheila through various programs for several years. I teach and train mediators, so have an idea of what should be expected of a mediation professional. Soheila possesses ALL of those elements. She is gentle, determined and persistent. I have never seen her give up on a case if it didn't settle. If a lawyer or litigant has a matter that needs to be settled, one could not do better than Soheila Azizi."
