Wail Sarieh

Mr. Sarieh, his associates, and staff are absolutely amazing! We hired Mr. Sarieh to help establish paternity and obtain custody of my granddaughter. Everyone in his office was extremely personable and always went above and beyond to ensure my granddaughter was in a safe and loving environment. They... all demonstrated a genuine concern for my granddaughter and always supported our thoughts, concerns, and wishes. My son and I are so very grateful for all Wail, Sami, and Marlene did to help us understand every detail of the case and continuously provide us will up to date information.

I hired Mr. Sarieh after going through a couple different divorce attorneys who could not get my case to come to a resolution. Once Mr. Sarieh stepped in, he worked hard and diligently and brought my case to a close in a matter of months. Before retaining Mr Sarieh, I had been battling my ex for year...s, had spent tens of thousands of dollars and had gotten no where. Mr. Sarieh was cost conscious, honest, and truly cared about me as his client. Not only did he obtain amazing results for me, I have referred my friends and family to him as well and each of them has been impressed with his work and dedication. Mr. Sarieh has my complete confidence; I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

Mr. Sarieh, his associates, and his staff were extremely professional and effective during the time of his services. The billing was fair and accurate, which was a pleasant surprise in comparison with other attorneys I have hired in the past. He was honest, forthcoming with realistic expectations, ...and helped me to regain custody of my daughter after nearly 7 years of being away in the military. I could not have been more satisfied with their services and would not hesitate to recommend them going forward.

So my ex husband hired an attorney to take custody of my son because I got a DUI for being passed out in my car with an open container in front of my house with no car keys. I,m telling you this so you will have a real idea of Wail's extraordinary capability in the court room. As you can see that sou...nds pretty horrible, right? It gets worse. My brother and his wife forged custody papers and lied to my ex about where I was (rehab, 43 days) as my brother had temporary guardianship (notarized agreement between us) of my son while I was seeking treatment and he was refusing to let my son see me. He was trying to cut me out of my sons life while lying to my ex about me. Anyways I intercepted my son during an exchange and this started my custody battle. My ex who now had my brother on his side because of the forgery (protecting his wife) were trying to make me look like an unfit mother and accused me of kidnapping and having my son in the car at the time of my DUI (not true). They even got the child custody investigator to right a report stating I should have supervised visitation. Thank God I found Wail Sarieh who took on my most complicated case and right away found a huge illegal mistake. My ex was in default and had no legal right to a custody trial that the commissioner had ordered. Wail got the court to admit their mistake and my ex had to start over. My ex and his attorney were ridiculous everything they got the court to order like an update child custody investigation update, custody trail and a 730 psychological evaluation they couldn't follow through with. When my attorney Wail questioned the child custody investigator during her testimony he made her look incompetent, unprofessional and proved she had a personal prejudice against me and that her conclusion was a personal opinion rather than evidence or that she did any investigating at all. When my brother testified he told lie after lie and Wail knew just how to make him fumble. My brother told one lie then 2 minutes later had a different answer, he started to sound like Porky Pig. After that his attorney convinced the court to order a 730 because they could have my brother finish is testimony obliviously it hurt their case rather than proving it. Long story short this started on 8-2-12 and ended on 2-2-15 I have 100% legal and physical custody of my 9 year son and through all of this I have achieved an AA in substance abuse counseling and am certified through the state of CA and am a full time counselor. Everyone makes mistakes, my Dad who I was separated from for 19 years died after 10 months of us reuniting. I didn't know how to cope and found alcohol at the age of 29 got sober at 32. My point in stating all of this is no one is the perfect parent but we can all strive to be. Wail believed in me and fought for us and we would not have won without him or God on our side. In fact without Wail I might have very well lost custody all together. Wail was a Godsend. With all that was against me we still won and I got everything we were fighting for. Trust me, you do not want to be up against Wail Sarieh in court so don't let your ex hire him before you do! I am blessed to have him as my attorney and proud to call him my friend. I cannot express my gratitude or appreciation enough to Wail and Marlene for all the hard work they put into my case. Thank you H. Madrigal
