Highly Recommended Divorce Attorney for OC

After consultations with several Family Law firms I selected Moshtael Family Law. I knew instantly I had made the right choice..... I met one-on-one with Navid and was immediately impressed with his knowledge, proposed strategy, and his appropriately aggressive demeanor. 2 days after retaining him... my husband created a false incident and had me arrested for domestic violence. Moshtael Family Law works closely with one of the best criminal attorneys in OC. Navid was immediately available during this emotional and legal crisis. Navid truly cares about his clients and their well-being in addition to the desired outcome of the divorce. He has a Team of qualified and kind staff that work together to be available at all times and know the clients case inside out......you are not just a number (or dollar sign) to him. What I have also learned during this process is that the reputation your attorney has with the judges, clerks, and opposing council makes all the difference in the outcome and steps along the way. Navid is well recognized and respected within the Orange County Court Houses and in the community of his colleagues. He is tough, direct, persistent, kind and fair. Thank you Navid and Andrew!

Knowledgeable and dedicated

After experiencing a lawyer that was very inexperienced it was refreshing to meet with Navid and his staff. Upon our first initial meeting he walked up through our case and informed us how each court appearance would go. We had one of his other lawyers work on our case who was very insightful and... tough (what you want with someone on your side) but he also provided facts, weeded through the BS and help give us a sign of relief when the court dates drew closer and paperwork needed to be submitted . Navid and James have both gone above and beyond our expectations and very happy with the outcome thus far. We appreciate the attention to detail concerning the children involved and re directing the other side back to why we are there in the first place. Navid is not afraid to get his hands dirty and that does help when you have a clean cut case with a difficult other party. With Navid and his staff, you are getting what you pay for no doubt about that! If you or a family member needs someone who is dedicated to what is right and fair, Moshtael Law is where you need to go! He knows his way around the OC court and also his insightful key points helped further our case in quicker manner otherwise being dragged out. We appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to helping us with our custody case. We looking forward to hopefully wrapping up our case soon with your expert guidance!

Need. A Professional Attorney!!! Navid Moshtael is AWESOME!!!

Anybody could retain any attorney. Thats the easy part. But, retaining an attorney and their team of associates that is very professional, honest, very fast, effective, and responsive is on a new level for me. Divorce is not easy at all. But, Navid and his team does everything to make the process... a little easier and less stressing as possible. I recommend Navid Moshtael and his team of associates to everyone!!! You cannot go wrong with them!!!

Going to court is never easy, with that being said finding the right Attorney is essential. I had saw the reviews which is what initially caught my attention, I reached out to sceduale a free consolation, I was very surprised at how quickly they responded to my call. When I arrived to there beautif...ul spacious office, I was immediately greeted by Hannah who was very friendly and Inviting. When I met with Navid and told him my case he quickly explained to me exactly what needed to be done In my case to be successful I was very impressed by his tactic, knowledge, honesty, and his aggresive approach and I instantly felt a sign of relief. IT honestly wasn't more then a couple of minutes of talking to Mr. Moshtael that I knew right away I wanted him for my lawyer. I had a tro on my ex that was in place and I needed to go back to court to get a permanent restraining order. When working with Navid and his staff I was very impressed at how quickly they responded to all of my concerns phone calls and emails. The end result I ended up getting a restraining order. Over all i had a amazing experience Im beyond grateful for his service I seriously couldn't of asked for a better attorney I look forward to working with Navid again in the future if need be

"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."
