Impressive Courtroom Skills and a Highly Responsive Team

I have been represented by attorney Navid Moshtael and his team for approximately six months in an ongoing family law matter that has been very contentious due to the combative nature of the opposing party. Before retaining Navid, I had worked with two other attorneys in a relatively short period of ...time, but I had not yet found the right fit for the demands and intensity of this litigation. During that time, the process was extremely stressful for me. From the time Navid took over my case, I felt a meaningful difference. He brought structure, focus, and a steady strategic approach to the matter, and the case began progressing in a more organized and purposeful manner. Equally important, his leadership and advocacy gave me a renewed sense of confidence during a very difficult process. In all court appearances, Navid has demonstrated exceptional courtroom skills. He is an articulate and compelling advocate, with a remarkable ability to identify the core issues, present them with precision, and respond confidently and effectively in front of the judge. His courtroom presence is highly professional. Watching him argue my matter has given me a strong sense that my case is being presented by an attorney with exceptional litigation ability, sound judgment, and complete command of the proceedings. I have also been very impressed with the firm’s team approach. While Navid leads the major court appearances and actively monitors the case from background, a senior attorney and a paralegal have been deeply engaged in managing the case between hearings. Every issue requiring attention has been handled thoughtfully and promptly, and I have always felt that my case was receiving serious, careful, and highly competent attention. The case is still ongoing, and the final trial has not yet taken place. Hence, this review necessarily reflects my experience through the present stage of the proceedings. Based on that experience, I hold Navid and his team in the highest regard and am pleased with the representation I have received so far. I look forward to updating this review at the conclusion of the case.

My appreciation is beyond words

To the Team at Moshtael Family Law, In August 2025, my life entered one of its darkest chapters. In an effort to relocate our children to a non-Hague Convention country, my ex-wife filed domestic violence allegations against me. A Temporary Restraining Order was granted, and from that moment forwa...rd, everything I knew about my life was turned upside down. After working with two different attorneys without finding the direction and confidence I desperately needed, I was fortunate to find Mr. Moshtael. That was the turning point in my case—and in my life. From the very beginning, Mr. Moshtael’s reputation in court, his professionalism, his compassion, and his sense of responsibility gave me a level of reassurance I had not felt in months. For the first time since the TRO was issued, I felt that I was in capable hands. After nearly six months of struggle and uncertainty, the domestic violence allegations against me were dismissed. The team fought diligently to protect my rights and to ensure that justice prevailed. Words cannot fully express the depth of my gratitude. I would like to especially thank Mr. Moshtael, Attorney Reza Bayat, Assistant Tia Makakaufaki, Clerk Nicole Martinez, and Legal Secretary Victoria Mathus. Each of you worked tirelessly on my case, often staying late and going above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. In particular, I want to express my deepest appreciation to Mr. Bayat. Despite being an attorney at a major law firm, he personally invested extraordinary time and care into my case. Understanding the financial burden I was under, he worked late into Friday evenings and continued working through the weekend to help move my case toward settlement, all while maintaining constant communication with me. That level of dedication and empathy is something I will never forget. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for everything this firm has done for me. If you are facing any family law matter, do not take unnecessary detours. I cannot recommend Moshtael Family Law highly enough.

An Exceptional Firm for Complex Custody Cases

I retained Moshtael Family Law for a very difficult and complex international "reverse move-away" trial. The firm's strategic approach was instrumental in navigating this challenging case. Senior Attorney Chris Gross spearheaded the strategy, demonstrating an incredible ability to synthesize vast amo...unts of information into a clear and compelling narrative that laid the perfect foundation for our trial. In the courtroom, lead trial counsel Navid Moshtael was simply outstanding. He is a commanding and brilliant litigator who possesses a rare combination of aggressive advocacy and sharp negotiating skills. His performance at the evidentiary hearing was masterful and a testament to the firm's trial-readiness. The teamwork between Navid, Chris, and the entire firm resulted in a successful outcome that achieved our goal. For any parent facing a complex, high-stakes custody battle, I cannot recommend Moshtael Family Law highly enough. They are a truly formidable team.

The BEST

Navid Moshtael returned the remainder of my retainer and generously provided over $3,000 worth of attorney time at no charge, purely as a courtesy. Not only did he deliver outstanding work as a family law attorney, but his act of kindness and generosity truly touched my heart. He is, without a doubt,... the finest family law attorney I have ever encountered. Words cannot fully express how much I value and appreciate Navid.
