The very best option for those who want conflict resolution and peace

Ashley’s professionalism, legal knowledge, kindness and patience was exactly what I needed to get through the horrors of a 3-year high conflict California divorce from a narcissist with sociopathic tendencies. From day one during our preliminary consultation, Ashley provided a warm reassurance th...at made me feel safe. She explained every step and process along the way. She answered all of my questions. Ashley worked tirelessly to come up with solutions to try and keep me out of a trial. The day I was deposed was heartbreaking and terrifying. Ashley offered me empathy and humor to help me through that traumatic event. For that, I will be forever grateful. There aren't enough good things I can say about Ashley Sedaghat. Not only did I “survive” this uncomfortable ordeal, I came out of it with everything I asked for - fair support orders, fair division of property, and a coparenting plan that works for everyone. And we did not have to go to trial. Ashley Sedaghat is my hero and it is such a blessing that she came into my life.

Left me hanging...

She did a good job representing me for percentage of time but the bill ran pretty high and I wasn't informed it was so high. I needed to make payments after that. That's when her attitude changed and she left me hanging for the child support hearing. Wouldn't make time to get the hearing on her sche...dule...

My professional and ethical obligations do not permit me to provided a detailed response to the statements set forth in this review; however, I will comment that we had amazing results in court (after a multiple day evidentiary hearing) on the custody issues and completed our services we were retained for on a limited scope basis. Extended litigation in general causes fees to rise. We were not retained for child support issues and unavailable when the client's hearing was scheduled, so we unfortunately were unable to provide representation for that part of the case. Orange Coast Family Law, APC stands by our professional services, care and advice rendered to clients and prospective clients.

Horrible Attorney-Please Be Aware

I hired Ashley for my child custody/support case. I am an unmarried women who financially takes care of my daughter 100%. I was in am abusive relationship. I had to fire her because she never told me I am the one who would be paying child support ( a simple calculation that takes all attorneys 2 minu...tes) She wrote up a judgment and order expecting me to sign. I am so beyond hurt that a professional would be more concerned about covering their own tracks because of mistakes made then their client and her child.

"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."
