Ilian Alchehayed, Attorney at Law
Without question, Ilian is my hero. I am a widow and my case was unusual. My husband and I owned a vacation home located in the Idyllwild area. When he passed, it became necessary for me to sell the house. Two real estate agents persuaded me into acting as the bank for a 'buyer' they both vouched for. He did not obtain a bank loan. In the four years he lived in the home, his payments were consistently late (for the last one and one-half years no payments were made); he NEVER paid any of the real estate taxes, home owner's dues and fire insurance fees. Because the home was technically in his name and I was not a bank, this became a very challenging case for Ilian. He encountered many road blocks yet always found resources to get over the hurtles. Did I mention that the 'buyer' thought he was smarter than anyone in the room, was a persuasive talker (con-man), and a pervasive liar. I came very close to actually losing my house to this man which would have severely damaged my financial health. Due to Ilian's knowledge, thoroughness, attention to detail and immense patience, the house successfully sold. He routinely sent me a monthly detailed account of his activities, hours spent and cost. He was always fair and accurate. Absolutely worth every penny! I highly recommend Ilian Alchehayed.

Client
Ilian helped me through the process of my divorce settlement. He was professional and respectful of me and all parties involved in the process throughout. I never second guessed his knowledge of family law and felt all along like he was working hard to get me the fairest settlement possible. He also worked very hard to minimize the amount of time to complete the process, but still be thorough and not leave any open issues. Divorces are painful, unpleasant, and expensive ordeals. I felt fortunate to have an attorney like Ilian to guide me through the legalities and also listen compassionately to my concerns.

Illian was the best. Yes we won our case, but even if we didn’t, I would be so grateful! His attention to detail was exemplary and the emotional compassion he showed towards me was exactly what I needed! I have dealt with many lawyers in different circumstances and found he exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to hire him!!!

Could not have received better representation in CA
Ilian saved my family. He was efficient and highly effective. He made all the smart moves to shorten the time spent on our case. In California we could not have felt more secure or more well represented than with Ilian. I think he is worth every penny!

Great experience as a family law client
I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful experience it was to have Ilian Alchehayed on my side. He was so pleasant to work with. Going through a divorce and how confused I was and not knowing what I was doing or where to start, Ilian was always from the very first day I met with him very patient in explaining the whole process and what we needed to do. I am so thankful for all of his hard work and I would hands down reccomend him for anyone going through divorce.

Excellent Family Law Attorney
My dad called Ilian for a family matter that needed delicate care. Ilian gave my dad great legal advice and prevented my family from a lot of heartache and having to spend extraordinary amounts of money on attorneys. I really appreciated the work he did for my family and I would recommend him if you are going through a divorce!

Former client in a civil matter
Ilian is very professional. He handled my case very promptly, answered all my questions and gave me a strategy to follow. He had concluded my case with a dismissal in a matter of a few short months. I was so stressed out about being sued and did not know what to do. I was recommended to go to Ilian from a relative and she was right. He answered his phone calls within 24 hours. He provided me with the peace of mind and even better I walked away without paying the opposing party anything! I would highly recommend going to Ilian.
