Family law matter resolution

Attorney Navid Moshtael and his team, worked compassionately on my property and child custody case. Mr. Moshtael, walked me through a very well planned step by step, since the beginning and explained all the individual steps, and pros and cons, ahead of time. This team supports and cares for your mat...ter in a very professional and responsive way. The culture and focus is definitely the client, from my experience working with them and I'm grateful for all their efforts in resolving my matter.

Master Yoda of family law!

Navid is a truly unique attorney with a clear protector mentality for his clients. Navid and I only had a brief consultation but, due to an emergency situation of my son being taken out of state, Navid jumped in late evening and made a plan to protect him. Due to Navid's effort, my son was protect...ed in California and I was able to see my son after 3months! Navid also protected my son during another emergency situation while I was in India for a week for my Dad's medical procedure. Navid and his team worked hard to ensure I can be there for my Dad and not worry about the emergency proceedings in my absence. Despite having a stellar lead attorney backed by a solid team on my case, Navid was on top of it and kept advising me as we moved along. Navid has been very responsive on txts during exigent situations. quick brainstorming calls with Navid opened up new avenues while moving through various situations. Due to Navid's leadership, he has built a great organization of experts sharing the same passion. It shows in every aspect of an attorney-client relationship such as streamlined communications, expectation-setting, documenting, guidance on navigating with opposing party, etc. I strongly recommend Navid for any family's legal needs. I have talked, consulted and worked with other attorneys and Navid sets a new benchmark !

Great Experience with Moshtael Family Law

After being legally separated for 26 months and an informal custody agreement that was becoming extremely messy, I was lucky enough to find and retain Navid and his firm, Moshtael Family Law. I was initially given a free consultation with one of his associates and then with Navid himself. They wer...e both very attentive, paying close attention to every detail of my case. I immediately felt like my situation was finally being understood, I never felt rushed and was completely as ease during my correspondences with both of them. While working with my prior counsel, I did not trust that a favorable outcome was at the top of their priority list. Since working with Moshtael Family Law, I know I am in competent hands and that both my custody battle and my final financial divorce settlement are of the utmost importance to Navid and his team. Brett Gover, his associate, has been a pleasure to work with. He has helped me to determine what choices are best moving forward and all of the possible outcomes with each decision I make. While Navid is extremely to the point and never sugar coats anything, he is spot on with every move he makes. He’s efficient and has no interest in wasting my time or outrageously billing me. He truly cares about a swift and favorable solution to every aspect of my case. We are moving forward during these uncertain times, even with Covid and the courts being backed up. I have finally been awarded parenting time with my 12 year old daughter which has been one of the most wonderful outcomes to date. In addition, I’ve been financially compensated for an interim period while my case is moving forward. This allows me to focus on the truly important things in life...my family, friendships and daily activities without the continual worry of making ends meet. What a favorable and fantastic relief this has been for me!!! If you are looking for a Family Law attorney or are considering switching from your current counsel, I strongly urge you to meet with Moshtael Family Law. It is my belief that you will be most impressed with their level of expertise, their professionalism and the fact that they TRULY do care. Deborah

Realistic Attorney!

My husband has been going through a very high conflict child custody battle, ever since he retained Mr. Moshtael as our attorney he's been upfront and realistic in what my husband can and can't get. He told us it wouldn't be easy, but that he will help get what my husband has asked for, he was right.... There's been times that my husband has been ready to give up, but a simple call from Navid Moshtael helps him regain faith! Kim Davis, one of his legal assistants, is also amazing, she's heard me, cry, scream laugh...overall great staff!

"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."
