Great Service

Navid is extremely responsive and is very knowledgeable. I immediately felt at east working with Navid, and that he would work his best for a fair and amicable settlement. I would highly recommend Navid.

Review

If you want an attorney and a law firm that knows the law and applies it with the upmost tenacity, then Navid and his team fit that description. They just helped me win a major part of my case. I can tell that Navid is passionate about what he does and it’s a relief to know that his superior skills i...n the court room has steered my case in the right direction. He’s fun to watch in action too!

Outstanding law firm!

I want to thank the Moshtael FamilyLaw of Orange County for the fantastic work they did on my divorce in June 2024. My first meeting with Mr. Navid Moshtael was for an hour-long consultation. He impressed me now only with his knowledge, professionalism, friendly attitude, willingness, and energy to p...rotect me during this difficult time. I immediately felt at peace knowing that I selected the best team. I would also like to thank Ms. Delilah Knox Rios Esq., for promptly returning my calls even on Sunday and after hours, and Jennifer N. Limoge Paralegal for her quick service and doing the endless paperwork and everyone at their great office. Divorce is not cheap! But rest assured that the money you spent with the Moshtael Family Law of Orange County will be well spent. Thank you!

Aggressive but Logical. Passionate and efficient. The Best Money can Get.

I started out my divorce interviewing atleast 15 attorneys and ended up picking another firm that said "top orange county' (air quotes) attorney by Avvo, in 2020. By 2022 October my pockets were almost empty with little or no resolution to anything in my case. So I started my interview process again.... A google review with the term "aggressive" got my attention & have a meeting with Navid. Within the first 15 mins of this free consultation he already had a path forward and within the next 15 mins he had already spoken to the opposing counsel. I knew it immediately. Fast forward just 4 months later, my final judgement is filed with the court with every single line item resolved saving me 100s of thousands of dollars and time. This firm is the best that you could ever get. I mean 2 years with no resolution with another firm to 4 months and case closed, the testimony speaks for itself. If you looking for a place to get the premium or platinum grade service out of your money, and save time, then this is it. Hands Down.

Posted by anonymous | October 11, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Parental Alienation Expert

This is my 4th time back in court. I’m currently going through the process of a contested custody dispute with an ex wife who does not play by the rules and less than forthcoming with the truth. Over many years of trying to co-parent and literally begging for my ex to cooperate with me on education, ...health and welfare issues, it has proven to be fruitless. After having gone through a challenging experience with my last attorney who made promises but fulfilled few, and with what was now happening just 2 years after the last modification of custody, I needed to search of an attorney who knew and cared about my situation and the complexity of dealing with parental alienation. I had spoken with many attorneys who specialize and are familiar with this field and trying to seek out one who would fight for me and my relationship with our son which was most important to me. When I came across Navid he was confident and knew how to handle this situation. On my initial consult he made me feel comfortable in his knowledge of the law, but he spoke to me like a person I knew and not like a lawyer, which I appreciated. After consulting with many attorneys without a clear direction on how we would tackle my problems, his clarity and directness was refreshing. He was clear on the plan on how to approach my situation and gave me options on how we could come up with a strategy to get back my custodial time and stop my ex from violating our existing court orders. He was also clear on different paths we could pursue based on varying outcomes to help heal the relationship with my son, no double talk or speaking in vague terms, Navid is a straight shooter. Navid, his associate attorney Jennifer and paralegal Kimberly were right on the job as soon as I hired them filing the declarations and proper paperwork with my input. Whenever I had concerns, someone in the office was there to speak with and Navid personally returned my text messages when I had concerns that needed to be addressed right away. You know how someone runs their business by the way they treat their clients their responsiveness and Navid runs a successful business because he cares about his clients. Thank you Navid and team.

"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."
