DVRO

Going to court is never easy, with that being said finding the right Attorney is essential. I had saw the reviews which is what initially caught my attention, I reached out to sceduale a free consolation, I was very surprised at how quickly they responded to my call. When I arrived to there beautif...ul spacious office, I was immediately greeted by Hannah who was very friendly and Inviting. When I met with Navid and told him my case he quickly explained to me exactly what needed to be done In my case to be successful I was very impressed by his tactic, knowledge, honesty, and his aggresive approach and I instantly felt a sign of relief. IT honestly wasn't more then a couple of minutes of talking to Mr. Moshtael that I knew right away I wanted him for my lawyer. I had a tro on my ex that was in place and I needed to go back to court to get a permanent restraining order. When working with Navid and his staff I was very impressed at how quickly they responded to all of my concerns phone calls and emails. The end result I ended up getting a restraining order. Over all i had a amazing experience Im beyond grateful for his service I seriously couldn't of asked for a better attorney I look forward to working with Navid again in the future if need be

Remarkably skillful and talented attorney for Foreign Discovery

If you need an extremely competent family law attorney to assist you in Foreign Discovery, Navid is the perfect choice for you. I feel so lucky and proud to have him as my lawyer. After having interviewed over 20 family law attorneys and then hired and substituted 4 of them, I finally found Navid wh...o is a first-rate attorney.

Highly recommended

Hired Navid after a very long and reassuring consultation. He answered many questions for me that I needed to know legally and had the confidence to move back into my home without any recourse from the police. Navid is very professional and answers my texts almost immediately. His office is amazing l...ooking and his staff are very friendly. The very next day after I told my STBXW that I had moved back in, she called the police and they told her that there was nothing they can do because I was on the lease and there was no domestic violence. I was served divorce and custody papers while I was at work that night. I called first thing in the morning after speaking with Navid and got an appointment right away with Bob, his senior attorney. He has a full team of attorneys working for him. While reviewing the divorce and custody paperwork, my ex called and served me notice that she filed an ex parte to get a restraining order against me due to alleged domestic violence and wanted me to be removed from my home and take full legal and physical custody of my children. Luckily I was in a meeting with Bob when she called and he heard the notice. We were at the courthouse within the 4 hours of notice and sat in court for 2 hours while getting excellent legal advice from Bob before the judge had denied all of her claims. This is just the beginning of a long road ahead, but so far I am extremely satisfied with my representation and would recommend Navid to anyone.

Navid is the Lawyer you want on your side

When I first got served with Divorce papers I thought my life was over, then I called Navid and he assured me that I was not going to go through this alone. Now I am no longer nervous I am no longer scared that I will loose everything I ever worked for. Navid and his team will fight for me to the ver...y end and help me keep as much as possible so that I don’t end up living in my car.

Highly recommend

From the moment I walked in to Mr. Moshtael’s office I was catered to in a way that separates his firm from the rest. The level of professionalism, and care I have received is above and beyond what I was looking for. They have guided me through a very difficult time and I would highly recommend him a...nd his 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."
