Worth it!

What can I say about these guys! I will admit, Navid pitches you a great selling point to get you into his firm as a client. Tells you what you need to hear and how it’s going to work and all the hope in the world. The thing is you never expect them to actually deliver on it! Mind you my case is quit...e complicated to say the least and it has been going on for over a year… But not to the fault of the firm but the constant purposeful leg dragging brought upon by the other attorneys. Well, let’s just say they won’t be doing that anymore! My case is still ongoing but what I can see is this… Let’s start with Brett Grover. I, although it is on a billable time, would gladly say that if he didn’t have to bill me he wouldn’t, lol. I say that because he genuinely cares about my concerns, the process, sharing information and preparing for each case with you individually. He genuinely understands how having as much information can never hurt as he wants to be able to look at your case from all angles. He doesn’t feed you nonsense or tries to sugarcoat with the results may be or what your possibilities are but gives it to you straight and I can truly appreciate that. He is thorough and double checks and triple checks with you to make sure that your position and your stance are still the same and what you want is conveyed clearly and concise in the court room. Another great aspect I enjoy about Brett is not only does he practice the law but he will teach you law so you can have an understanding of what is going on and WHY that approach may or may not be useful instead of just telling you/shooting you down and letting you blindly go in there to see things self-destruct. Brett has gained my trust and assist me in any way he can with the knowledge he has gained over his years of experience. Thank you Brett and I value you. As for Navid. Navid, Navid, Navid... he is a character, lol. And I gladly welcome it! He is a straight shooter giving you realistic expectations while still trying to achieve unremarkable results. I remember in my consultation with Navid that I said, “I wanted a bulldog in the court room.” He then told me, “yeah it’s nice to have that but it’s all flashy and theatrics but it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t get you results. What’s the biggest focus is how to attack the problem and not the other client or the court!” And it was those words that made me take a chance. I was consumed by having an aggressive attorney that will no longer let me be taken advantage of. And let me tell you he has shown to be quite assertive and increasingly focal with pinpoint precision on the matters at hand. In the court room he is your money maker! Adhering to your concerns and making it very clear on each directive and procedure that needs to be referenced and why this is the best decision the courts can make. I am a single father still fighting the stigma that is slowly changing within the court rooms of a mother needing to have the child more than their dad. This law firm is helping change that stigma and change the perceptions of fathers and allow them to be more present in the children’s lives as it takes both parents to raise that child especially if they want to be involved. He stresses heavily on coparenting and tells you what your responsibility is and what you need to do to show what is right and selfless. I may have doubted Navid at the beginning but now I could tell you this… In my corner he will stay as he continues to fight to undo all the wrongs that were done before. So to you both I think you and I appreciate your time that you have put in and your willingness to work with me and all aspects. Here’s to a better tomorrow in hopes of getting everything we want.

The Best divorce attorney

Navid and the whole team are amazing! Everyone was very helpful. I highly recommend the moshtael firm. They want the best outcome for you. These attorneys would fight for you and will not let you down.

A difficult Journey

I am in the middle of a highly volatile and emotionally draining custody case. I cannot imagine going through this without Navid and his team. They are professional yet understanding. They are responsive in a timely fashion. They continuously educate me on my options, local jurisdiction trends, and... consider my resource burden in my decisions. I am hoping for the best as this may be a long battle. As draining as concerns for one's children are, there is a sliver of comfort knowing I have Navid and his team. Thanks You.

Professional honest and straight to the point

I recommend Mr Navid’s law firm and his team for your Case. My case still ongoing in the court and as of now I’m satisfied with the work being done from Ron and his team. Ron has been answering all my questions and concerns towards my custody battle honestly and professionally. Also, the first hearin...g I experienced how Ron can become aggressive in the court that I felt he got my back with confidence.

"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."
