Excellent service and results

Even though I have been divorced for a decade it has been a constant battle with my ex over money and time with my children. Over the last two years my ex-wife actively engaged behaviors that were harming myself and my children forcing me to take legal action. There are times in life when you need an... advocate who will fight for you. Navid Moshtael was the only Attorney I found who knows how to fight for a father’s rights. Although I live in San Diego, I went to Navid and his firm in Irvine. Never let geography limit your need for the best representation. Navid, Kimberly Williams, Monique Russel and the rest of his team are top notch professionals who will work with you and ensure you understand every aspect of the process as you go through it. Navid and team created a strategy and put that into action as a Stipulation and Order (S&O). They worked to ensure it represented my wishes and the best interests of my children. I am happy to say that we achieved a positive outcome and we were able to get the S&O signed. Some things to remember when choosing an attorney. Do they have a good team? Do they communicate with you? Can you reach them by cell phone in an emergency? Do they get the job done? I can say that the answer was YES to all of those questions. I would not hesitate to refer Navid Moshtael and Mostael Family Law to anyone.

THANK YOU!

I want to thank Navid, Brett and the team for all their support and professionalism during the past couple of years with trials, depositions, and many issues along the way. If not for them, I am not sure I would be where I am today. I want to give a special shout out to Kim for her support, reassuran...ce, and kindness during a very difficult time for me. I felt like she was truly fighting for my son along side me. Custody issues aren’t easy, but issues with safety and the well-being of your child is on a new level and I am so grateful to have Navid and his wonderful team. I sleep well at night knowing my son is safe and will grow up in a healthy and stable environment with guidelines in place to help better co-parent for my son. I can’t thank you all enough!

Need Help?

The Best decision you can make in one of the most difficult times in your life is to find the right “HELP” to get you through the situation. Navid and the Team at Moshtael Family Law are the Team you will need to get that help. They treat you more like Family than a client at every step of the way an...d have a Incredibly vast knowledge of every aspect of the Law. I was Frightened and afraid when this happened to me and the Frist thing Navid did was remove that fear and guide me to successful resolutions that overcame all the threats against me. If you need “Help” you can not get anybody better the MFL Team.

Best Lawyer ever!!!!

I found myself in horrible situation recently and the best move I could possibly have made was to hire Navid Moshtael. Trust me when I say, you want Navid in your court, and not the other way around. Navid had my ex shaking and in tears at our deposition (to the point I felt bad for him for a secon...d). The deposition ultimately resulted in a settlement by the opposing party, thanks to Navid’s highly impressive litigations skills, and I received custody of my daughter back after 4 months of losing custody entirely temporarily due to a previous attorney I had hired failed to appropriately respond to an ex parte notice. At our deposition, the court reporter actually said on break that if she ever found herself needing a family law attorney, she would hire Navid without hesitation (and I’m sure she knows them all). Jenny Corona is a huge asset the Moshtael Family Law team. Jenny is an attorney under Navid whom I corresponded mostly with, you can tell she really cares about her clients and what’s in the child’s best interest. She was a huge advocate for me and a blessing to work with during such a traumatic time, I am forever grateful for her hard work and dedication to my case . The firm is not cheap, but in my experience throughout the years in family court, you get what you pay for. If I ever find myself needing family law representation, I will hire Moshtael Law again without hesitation.

"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."
