GREAT OUTCOME!!!

I was in a court battle for almost 5 years with little results. After ONE day in court with Jim Wellman, I FINALLY got the outcome that I deserved!! Not only did he keep my custody schedule as is, he was able to keep my Spousal Support the same even though my ex was trying to have it completely stopp...ed. Last, he got my child support increased!! It was a GREAT day in court!! Erin and Kim did an amazing job communicating with me - answering my endless questions and getting all my documents prepared and file. Last - but not least - Navid. If it wasn't for him, I never would have "had my day in court". He kept me as a client even though I had a negative balance almost the entire time. I am truly grateful for his empathy towards me and my financial situation. I highly recommend Moshtael Family Law to anyone that needs a competent legal team.

TOP FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY

had interviewed couple of family law attorneys before I met Navid . As soon as I met Navid I knew he will do the job . My divorce case is some what complicated that involves child custody , lot of money and very unreasonable spouse . Case was going against but Navid was able to turn it around compl...etely. He is very knowledgeable , aggressive ,extremely passionate about family law and works very hard . Most family lawyers are good enough to handle most cases ,but if you need an Attorney who can put a strong fight in front of the judge- Navid is your guy !. He thinks quick on his feet and knows exactly how to act in front of the judge . His fees is reasonable and also has amazing staff . He is ALWAYS available to speak even on the weekends . I would suggest to meet him before the hearing /trial for an hour or so to go Over the case . He is always prepared but because he is very busy this would ensure he doesn't miss any important points . My case is not over yet and will post final review soon . So far he is absolutely fantastic !

Family Law Attorney

I Hired Navid after meeting Few Family Law Attorneys. As soon I met him i realize he is the guy who can help with my complex case that involves Child custody, Domestic Violence , large asset and unreasonable wife. He has really good staff who also helps to put together a solid case. Lucy, Ron and... Aaron are extremely detailed oriented and responds to my email normally within 2-3 hours! Navid also replies and answer my questions over the weekends even though he is busy with his family. laws are Laws and all family law attorneys can handle basic work but, If you want some one who will put a good fight in front of the judge then Navid is your guy!. I didnt reliaze how good he is until we went in front of the judge. His responses are quick and thorough. i had couple of concerns which i spoke to him about and he carefully listened to my concerns and gave me a honest explanation without getting offended. We are still in the beginning stage of a long and expensive divorce. I will include details in upcoming weeks once the case move forward. So far we are very pleased that we hired Navid.

Posted by Rasha | November 22, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

The most aggressive perfect Lawyer

From the 1st moment that I met Lawyer Navid Moshtael (the president ), I knew right away he was the right person for my children custody , I did interview 3 other lawyers before him , but they were not the right fit, Mr. Navid is very a aggressive lawyer, honest and straight to the point, he will r...ead your points, your thoughts and will make things happen, be patient to see the final results, its a very stressful process, but you will be very happy with the final results, he is also very well known in the court house, and he knows what he is doing, I will not forget his sentence every time I'm stressed (Don't worry about anything, if I need you to be worried , I will let you know !!) I highly recommend him !

"I cannot more highly endorse Navid. I have known Navid professionally since 2006 when we were both associates at a prominent family law firm in Orange County. Since then, we have both grown substantially as family law litigators. We often confer with one another about intricate procedural and substantive issues. I have always been impressed by his ability to comprehend complex financial cases, which is something not a lot of family law attorneys can so easily do. I have referred potential clients to Navid, and will not hesitate to continue to do so. I would feel comfortable referring a family member or close friend to Navid."
