Exceptional Representation in High-Conflict Divorce

Making the decision to finally leave a high conflict marriage was scary, not knowing what to do next and how to navigate the process was terrifying. Peter was an advocate for me and my children since day one, he would be my voice in a time that I wasn't able to use mine. His experience working with ...high conflict divorce cases shined bright and he knew what my ex was going to do before he did it. Peter was fair and honest every step of the way. He didn't take advantage and add unnecessary hours and always made my case feel like a priority. I would recommend Peter to anyone going through a divorce especially to anyone that is going to have to battle the whole way.

Family Law Attorney

So I hired Farzad and Ochoa law firm to represent me in my divorce. Peter was my assigned attorney and he was amazing! My now ex-wife tested him (as she has tested me our entire marriage...) and he didn't hesitate to bring the hammer down. He executed my case flawlessly and has a years of experien...ce. I highly recommend him to any person getting a divorce as he will have your back and make sure you are covered.

Excellent Attorney

A quick review will not do Peter justice. Beginning this process I wanted nothing to do with the legal world, but Peter changed my perspective by showing strong morals and work ethic, patience and genuine understanding. He is intelligent, competent and fully invested in every aspect of the case. He i...s well versed in the implications of dealing with high conflict and narcissistic personalities. Not only did he tirelessly work every detail of the case, but he made sure that I was seen, heard and valued throughout the entire process. He goes above and beyond with honesty and integrity. What could have been a complete nightmare ended up being a much smoother transition than I thought possible. In spite of all the difficulties the other side and the system threw our way, Peter successfully won a settlement in my favor. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take on my case. Thank you, with all my heart, for playing a huge part in creating a better, more hopeful future for the kids and I.

Brilliant, Compassionate, Dedicated Family Law Attorney

I had the honor of Peter being assigned to my divorce case as soon as I retained the firm. My case was worked on by several professionals and attorneys in the firm but Peter's hours exceeded them all. Using an abundant amount of patience, compassion and family law expertise, he pulled me through the ...dizzying amounts of forms and documents required for filing and discovery. I was constantly in awe of his astute ability to recall figures and data about my case. He operated as if I was his only client. Within a very small amount of time, he knew every material detail about my life with my now former spouse. In addition, Peter is exceptionally polished, sophisticated and professional. I am grateful for Peter's sincere compassion and astute family law knowledge. He kept me focused and encouraged during a very difficult and scary transition. Lastly, Peter is responsible for my successful hand-off to the firms expert litigator which led to a very pleasing just judgement.
