So genuine and knowledgeable

Had such a great experience with Ashley taking it upon herself to give great advice. She was very clearly not in it for the money and wanted to give me the best advice possible to prepare me for what I needed. She didn’t have to do what she did; the fact that she wanted to make a huge impact on me. T...hank you!!

Ashley and Orange Coast Family Law

Ashley, and her team, were fantastic. I’m in a complicated custody case with a combative and difficult ex-partner, and was looking for a world class attorney. Ashley came extremely highly recommended by multiple other lawyers. Ashley and the Orange Coast Family Law team were so thorough, engaged... and highly detailed - really digging in to understand all the complexities of my case. Ashley did such a good job both understanding the case while being kind and conscientious to me and my wife through a super stressful time. She was able to calmly explain all the various options with a recommended path forwards - and in court was able to navigate away from unnecessary conflict and stress. Ashley is clearly extremely well respected by her peers - and I can see why - her attention to detail and her thought process, while keeping me at ease is amazing. Ashley is accompanied by a tremendous backup support team at Orange Coast Family Law, who are excellent and walked me through the whole process. I’d highly recommend Ashley and Orange Coast Family Law.

Best lawyer service

I retained Ashley and her staff based on wonderful reviews. No lawyer wanted my case because I was a stay home mom, no assets, just debts and fighting for custody of my son . Ashley worked with me the entire process, very caring, sympathetic and professional. She helped me get more than I asked for ...and above . I do not have enough gratitude words for her and entire staff.

Hiring the Best Attorney

I really didn't want to go through the court system or hire a lawyer, but we tried to do everything ourselves and it wasn't working. I was referred to Ashley Sedaghat and couldn't have been more pleased. Her knowledge, professionalism, and loyalty made my experience well worth it. I was very weary ab...out trusting a lawyer, thinking it was going to be a huge time and money suck, but every penny was well worth it and she fought for me like nobody else would have. I'm very pleased with our outcome and can now enjoy a more amicable co-parenting relationship. I highy recommend her and her partner, June, for all your family law needs.

Ashley is AMAZING!

It is difficult to put into words the gratitude I have for her, but the work she has done for me has been life-changing. She helped me get a domestic violence restraining order, and this has given me a sense of security that I haven't had for many, many years. She also helped with the divorce, custod...y, and child support. Throughout the entire process, Ashley was kind and compassionate. She always took the time to listen and truly understand what was taking place. In court, she was always well-prepared, articulate, and professional. I feel truly blessed to have had Ashley's support.

"I have known Ashley since law school. The only thing more powerful than her magnetic and warm smile is her work ethic. She is relentless for her clients, careful, thorough and seeks the best for them. Additionally, she is an all around good person as a mom, wife and the most supportive person I have ever seen for her mom and sister. She has worked for top family law firms and brings this knowledge to her current cases. I highly recommend her."

"Ashley is amazing and I've been recommending her to all of my friends, clients, and colleagues who have family law matters. I met Ashley at an OCBA function and was immediately impressed. So, when my fiance had a last minute need for an attorney to represent him in a child custody matter, we met with Ashley. She really took the time to discuss the case and instantly understood the key issues and the dynamics of all of the parties involved. She was a passionate, dedicated, and professional advocate . As a lawyer, its hard to figure out who you can trust when you or your loved ones are sitting on the other side of the desk. We trusted Ashley immediately and for good reason. Attorneys can trust sending their clients in need of family law advice to Ashley."
