Highly skilled family law attorney
I substituted Navid Moshtael in as my attorney in a very involved custody situation. I have had experience with other family law attorneys and can say that I have never seen a more well-prepared and highly skilled attorney. He knows the law integrally. Some attorneys would rather negotiate because...

Amazing and trustworthy
I hired Navid after 1 phone consultation. I could tell immediately he was straightforward honest and was definitely the Darth Vader of OC courts! Through my case he has continuously been aggressive and held his word at value and I have complete faith that he will continue to do so.

Excellent, Experienced and Knowledgeable
highly recommend Navid Moshtael of the firm Stabile and Moshtael. Before hiring Navid, I used a big bucks, big name firm. It was very expensive and in my opinion, the end result was pretty much one-sided. Once Navid started representing me, he negotiated a resolution that was fair and reasonable ...
