Couldn't be more impressed!

We met Athar in Jan 2018 with a looming court date in March. My fiance’ was the Petitioner requesting more time with his son. We met with Athar last minute not knowing if having representation would be helpful or not. Within 15 minutes of talking with him we were both very impressed with his knowledg...e and compassion when expressing his views on broken families and going through the family court system. At the end of the meeting he already had the other party on the phone seeing if the other party was open to stay out of trial. Both parties agreed their best interest was to stay out of trial. We moved the trial date out and they started negotiations. What is so unique and I believe a talent of Athar is he is compassionate for both parties. Just because he was hired by my fiance’ did not mean he did not do everything in the other parties best interest and most important for the child’s best interest. He communicated with the other party with kindness and compassion. If you know Athar you can tell this is not his a technique it’s his true personality which is rare to find in a lawyer dealing with family court and difficult parties. After months of trying to come to an agreement, unfortunately it didn’t happen and it was time to prepare for trial. Athar presented everything very professionally and intelligently throughout trial asked the perfect questions to both parties and I believe because we had Athar as our representation my fiance’ was awarded what he was seeking, 50/50 custody. If you are reading this and seeking an attorney for your family court case, I would not miss the chance to schedule an initial meeting with Athar, he will do his best for you and your child! I believe we gained a friend through working with Athar.

Divorce lawyer of Irvine!

Athar was extremely helpful and understanding when I was getting divorced 6 months ago. His expertise and professionalism meant we (my ex-partner and I) were able to reach an amicable solution, with minimum disruption to either his life of mine. Very reasonable too! 100% recommended him!

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the honor of working with Athar through the LEAP program affiliated with the Legal Aid Society of Orange County. He has mastered using technology to make the legal process for family law "user friendly." In short, he's created a system where the forms, filings, signatures, etc. can be done at your convenience through a computer. If you have internet access, he'll make the process easier for you. If you want "face time" with your lawyer and you have a rigorous schedule making it difficult to meet at the typical times most attorneys are available ( 8 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday) Athar would more than likely be the perfect attorney for you as he offers flexible hours and on-line scheduling."

"Athar is the kind of person that you would want to hire when looking for a lawyer. I have only had great experiences with Athar as I have interacted with him throughout number of years that I have known him. I have found him to be honest in my dealings with him and very hard working. He is a true professional and very knowledgeable in his fields of expertise. There is no doubt in my mind that I would hire him for any matter related to intellectual property. You cannot go wrong having him on your side of the table."
