Exceptional Advocacy in a High-Conflict Case

If you are looking for an attorney who treats your case with urgency and care, look no further. If you are facing a high-conflict divorce (especially one involving domestic violence or complex issues), Navid Moshtael and his team are the advocates you want beside you. They truly helped protect my fam...ily during one of the most difficult times in our lives.
 I came to Moshtael Family Law in an absolute crisis. My previous firm had mishandled important aspects of my case and left me in a difficult procedural position. Instead of feeling supported, I was under even more stress and overwhelmed by uncertainty about my children’s safety and future.
 Mr. Moshtael is a true legal strategist. He did not simply play defense, but took a proactive, focused approach to my case. Through his skilled advocacy, preparation, and command of the facts, I was able to obtain a four-year DVRO. He advocated powerfully for my children and me, and his attention to detail made a profound difference during an incredibly stressful time.
 Mr. Moshtael stepped in with less than three weeks to prepare. From day one, Navid and his team (especially Charles and Maddie) were responsive, transparent, organized, and thorough. They moved quickly to understand the facts, review critical records, and develop a clear strategy.
 Navid and his team are the sharks you want in your corner when everything is on the line. I am endlessly grateful for their skill, dedication, responsiveness, and compassion. They gave my family safety, hope, stability, and a path forward. 
Although there is still work ahead in the remaining aspects of my divorce, I have complete confidence that Mr. Moshtael and his team will continue to keep my children’s and my best interests at the center of their representation. I trust them to continue fighting for our safety, stability, and future. Thank you Navid, Charles, and Maddie. I cannot recommend Moshtael Family Law highly enough!

Clear Strategy, Strong Courtroom Presence, and the Outcome We Planned For

I was unexpectedly served with an ex parte Domestic Violence Restraining Order and a dissolution of marriage filing. I strongly denied the allegations of domestic violence, and at the time my spouse was requesting 100% custody of our two children with no visitation for me. It was one of the most diff...icult and stressful periods of my life. Navid Moshtael helped guide me through the entire process. My spouse was extremely difficult throughout the case, which made an already complicated situation even more challenging. Despite that, Navid was able to navigate the conflict, stay focused on the bigger picture, and continue moving the case toward the outcome we had discussed from the beginning. Navid was very clear about his strategy, what he believed was realistic, and how he planned to approach both the court proceedings and negotiations. When it mattered most, he took control in the courtroom. He was confident, prepared, direct, and strategic. Ultimately, the DV restraining order was dropped, I obtained joint custody, and most importantly, I was able to see my children again. Despite all of the obstacles and difficult negotiations along the way, we ended up exactly where Navid had planned for us to end up. My advice to anyone working with Navid is to trust the process and stick with him through the end. There may be moments when things feel uncertain, especially in a highly contentious case, but Navid had a plan and executed it. He delivered the result he told me he was working toward. I am extremely grateful for what he did for me and my family and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a difficult family law or custody matter.

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.

Amazing Law Firm!

I cannot thank Moshtell Family Law Firm enough. When I felt all hope was lost in my move-away custody battle, I had a meeting with Navid who reassured me, and took on my case, they gave me the hope I needed. I was then assigned to Duran and his team, and they were so amazing. Over the course of two l...ong years, they stood by me through every challenge, and in the end, we achieved a successful outcome. Duran was an exceptional trial lawyer, focused, strategic, and aggressive when needed. He handled the trial with remarkable skill and dedication. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Stacy, the paralegal on my case, was an absolute gem. She was kind, attentive, and always took the time to answer my questions, ensuring everything was handled flawlessly. Throughout the entire process, the team at Moshtell Family Law Firm guided me with honesty, professionalism, and genuine empathy. I recommend them to anyone in need of a dedicated and skilled family law attorney.

Satisfied!

The family law situation I found myself in this year is what prompted me to hire an attorney for the first time. I chose Moshtael Family Law because of their emphasis on transparency and looking out for the best interest of the child(ren) involved. If I started the process all over, I would still ch...oose them. Yes, the services are pricy but you do get what you pay for with Moshtael and they are up front about their fees. I still have an open case and have had two attorneys with this firm, both of whom had and have been exceptional. I worked with Erin Noonan before she left and her consistent communication was perfect for me. My case was transferred over to Karissa Piralla and I was relieved to know it was another perfect fit. Karissa has been nothing but supportive, transparent, and realistic about the outcomes with me and that set me up for success in the long run. I feel very fortunate to know that Karissa was available to take my case and for the attention that is being provided.
