My Lawyer for Life

My family and I retained MFL after being served with DVRO paperwork for being a dad and caring about my daughters grades and school attendance. Even with 3 days to represent me Navid's team did a thorough and fantastic job. Our input was taken into consideration and discussed. We were able to provide... what was and was not necessarily true from our point of view. Overall, the experience has made Moshtael Family Law The Team for my family and I from this point on.

Gave me Peace of Mind

I originally had another lawyer before I retained Navid an his law firm. I was going through a divorce with child custody, and felt stressed, unsupported, and at a loss after spending so much money. With Navid and his team, I felt a huge burden lift off my shoulders. Just the initial phone call wi...th Navid put my mind at ease as he guided me through his process and next steps. He and his team listened to what the issues of the case was, what I wanted, and was able to put together a case plan to help me understand my options and guide me on next steps. I went from being in the dark about what was happening with my previous law firm to finally having some peace of mind with a roadmap. Kim, an associate of the Navid's team, has been responsive, kept me up to date, and advised me on issues that made me feel at ease. She has been simply amazing and I cannot say enough of how supportive she has been. I finally feel that I have a law firm that I can put my complete confidence in, that I know will be there to support me, and a team that will most importantly have my back. My only regret was not finding and hiring Navid and his law firm sooner, but I now have greater confidence that things will work out for my kids and me.

Light at the end of the tunnel

Actually, we were recommended to Moshtael by a paralegal from a law firm we had already been working with. The Paralegal told us that our case was more complicated than what her firm could handle and Moshtael was more equipped to handle our case. Our case was unique. My mother was the client but b...ecause of her age and her Mild cognitive impairment, She was not capable mentally and emotionally to handle it on her own. I handled all of her legal issues through power of attorney. The Paralegal was right, once we switched over to Moshtael things started happening. After multiple hearings and then a trial Lance and Navid did exactly what they promised, they got my mom what she was entitled to by law. Because this was all new to us, they did an excellent job explaining the step-by-step process, and the risk that were involved. They handled our case professionally and with extreme patience. Now that it's over, I have never seen my mom so happy! Because of all their hard work, my mom can move on with her life and live in peace.

Finally! Lawyers who take the time to get the job done!

Moshteal - an all- encompassing law firm committed to making themselves versed in every little detail of your case. After a couple sour experiences where my precious counsel failed to effectively communicate my position to the judge, I was truly impressed when my team at Moshtael showed up ready to a...rgue any point opposing counsel presented thoroughly and to the point, leaving no room for error. From the jump, Moshtael set my mind at ease with its streamlined and methodical strategies, explained to me in layman’s terms so I understood what we were facing, that quickly identified what outcome we hoped for and the best ways to get there. If you are headed down the journey of divorce, I would only recommend Moshtael -well worth the money as each task was delegated to a specific team member for efficiency so I was able to get the best outcome possible for me and my child.

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.

"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."
