Excellent Job

Moshtael Family Law represented me for a complex child support modification case where we knew going into this my ex was not going to willingly disclose his income. After my consult with Naveed I was confident that his office could help and they did! I’m incredibly grateful that I chose this offi...ce and am extremely happy with the outcome. Paul and Naveed were very thorough and honest with me throughout my case and I appreciate that. All in all, I highly recommend Moshtael Family Law. They helped my kids get what they deserve!

Professional, efficient and got the job done!

Moshtael Family Law recently helped me file and finalize my divorce. Navid, Alexander, Bernadette and the rest of the team were so pleasant to work with. I was nervous and apprehensive when I initially inquired about their services services. However, from my very first meeting, I felt confident th...at Moshtael Family Law could help me with my case. I needed it to be completed as quickly and as painlessly as possible. They did not disappoint! They provided me with all the details and costs upfront and there were no surprises. Moshtael met all of my expectations and timelines. I am so glad that I found them! I highly recommend this law firm!

He's a pitbull

Navid has been awesome so far! I was served papers on a Friday afternoon. But I couldn't get the lawyer I was speaking with prior on the phone I called Moshtael family law group. He was nice enough to make time to call me after his office had already closed for the week, he explained everything to me... thoroughly. He is no nonsense and up front about everything. I instantaneously felt better as soon as I hung up the phone with him. We met the next afternoon, even though it was a Saturday. He gave me documents that I need to sign and all of my homework that I needed to do. I finished my things on Sunday and emailed them on Monday morning. I was contacted later on that afternoon and started the process of my reply. I spoke with another one of his lawyers name Lance, he was very thorough also. Everything was done and package by Tuesday morning and now we await the hearing. Everything went flawlessly and I feel very confident getting ready to go to court. So far I would highly recommend Navid. I have never had to deal with anything in court. I was completely lost as soon as I was served. Mashtael family law group has made me calm and confident. I would recommend anyone needing anything in family law to go see Moshtael family law group.

Results oriented lawyer!!!

It was pleasant working with Navid through a messy divorce case. Navid was a good listener, always prepared and had a solid game plan. The divorce case presented several curve balls along the way, from CPS involvement to inexcusable restraining orders. Navid expertly knew how to navigate the process ...and provided some level of calm. Navid was timely in filing the necessary paperwork and very prompt in responding to questions. Navid and his team provided the results we wanted!!! Thanks Navid

"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."
