Family Law, EX-Parte DV & Custody
Navid has taken good care of me thus far. Our working relationship started just 10 days ago and I've been impressed with his prompt attention, professionalism, expertise, strategy and bed side manner.

Experienced, responsive, affordable
I met Navid after meeting with several other high priced Beverly Hills law firms. I was impressed that he had a clear top-to-bottom strategy for winning my case, and has been right there ready to respond when my ex made her most egregious claims. He showed me how her actions would, in the end, come...

In Good Hands
Thank you Navid Moshtael and Michele Collender for taking such good care of me in my long- drawn out-ugly divorce. This firm clearly puts family first and really listens to you.

Ethical shark
The judge said it was commendable how much we got through in one day and I am quite happy with the result. I consulted with a few attorneys from this site before I chose him and I'm glad I did. We were a same sex couple arguing over custody of our son and the separation was quite raw. I was emotional...
