Honest and on top of everything

Harry represented me in a 20 month divorce that involved property, custody, and a not so cooperative spouse. Through all the paperwork and all of my questions, Harry never missed a beat. He was always there to explain things to me so that I felt prepared and sure of what I was facing. He never sugar ...coated anything and I appreciated that. He never ignored me and always gave me the time and consideration I needed to navigate this scary situation. After this difficult ordeal, I have a lot of appreciation for what he did for me. He focused on my priorities and acted with the best interest of my family in mind. I would call him knowledgeable, competent, considerate, and a genuinely decent human being. I would recommend him to anyone and will certainly be back with any other legal matters and needs that may arise.

Best and Trusted Attorney

I hired Harry when I was at my wits end trying to get a Trust established for my terminal Father. Harry put me at ease and worked on the documents I needed, guided me through the process and made a difficult time tolerable. Two years later, I am the Trustee for a dear friend. I again asked for Harry'...s help and advice. He spent considerable time with me and gave me great advice and solutions. When someone asks me about a Trust Attorney, Harry is the first and only person that comes to mind. He is genuine, caring, intelligent and trustworthy. In the near future, I will be turning to Harry once again to draft a Trust for me. He is superior to any Attorney I've ever worked with!

Excellent Lawyer! Highly recommended!

Attorney Harry Mirchandaney represented me in a unique divorce case. He is a very smart and compassionate family attorney who displayed immense knowledge. He was always available on the phone/email and responded to my queries promptly. Above all, he is a professional attorney who genuinely cares for ...his clients. Through his knowledgeable and excellent assistance he reviewed my case against my ex-husband, who has lied and used my children as pawns. My ex-husband made false allegations including: 4 Child Protective Service reports (all unfounded), 2 police reports "sent to District attorney", and went through the 730 evaluation. My ex-husband is trying to take full custody of my children to avoid payment of $49,000 in child support. Mr. Mirchandaney recommended that I hire a criminal lawyer, which has costed me more money and less time with my children because I need to work over-time to keep up with the fees, and because my ex-husband has not paid his child support payments in full. My ex-husband was extremely spiteful, a liar, and has made my quality of life difficult during this process. He has displayed malevolent qualities by having opposing counsels employ unethical tactics to try to make me submit, including prolonging the case further and further. Mr. Mirchandaney’s professional nature dealt with the situation and communicated with my criminal lawyer to make sure all parties understood the situation. Mr. Mirchandaney has done his job well, surpassing all expectations with excellence and even emailed me at 3 am to update me with case details and status, showing his utmost devotion. During this prolonged struggle, Mr. Mirchandaney has taken a stance with me through the nonsense and lies that my ex-husband and opposing counsel concocted and obstructed in this case. Furthermore, Mr. Mirchandaney represented me with extreme knowledge, respect, and care through this strenuous and problematic process because he is ethical, determined, and just. I highly recommend Harry Mirchandaney for anyone who is going through custody disputes and family law issues

Ethical and Professional

Harry gives lawyers a good name. He is not only a very sharp, knowledgeable negotiator but conducts himself in a highly professional and ethical manner. I am very pleased with the outcome of my settlement and would not hesitate to recommend Harry.
