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.

Brilliant Lawyer

Choosing a good family law attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make. I was referred to Farzad & Ochoa Law Firm by a family member. I was fortunate to be assigned to Peter. He is passionate in what he does. He is kind but firm, tough when need be. His attention to detail was i...mpressive compared to other lawyers I have had in the past. I was in awe of his performance in court with judgement being in my favor. Peter made a horrible situation tolerable. I would not hesitate to call Farzad & Ochoa Law Firm and ask for Peter, you wont be disappointed.
