Nicholas Payvand Azemika

I hired Nick Azemika back in 2010 for custody proceedings and again most recently in April 2017 to represent me in another horrific custody battle. I appreciate Mr. Azemika’s straight forward, honest, hard-working demeanor, and utmost professionalism. Each time I have been taken back to court with ...Nick by my side, I feel not only fully prepared, but I leave with the results expected. Nick worked tirelessly along with his staff on my case. The amount of dedication and professionalism on my case was unparalleled by any other lawyer around I assure you. If you are on the fence about hiring a lawyer, I would not hesitate to hire Mr. Azemika a million times over! He is an amazing attorney and wholeheartedly cares about your case/children like it is his own. I could never give enough praise to Nick for what he has done for my son and I. The best lawyer there is hands down!

An attorney friend of mine recommended that I contact Mr. Azemika when I sought advice on who I should hire as a divorce attorney. It proved to be an excellent recommendation, and one of the best decisions I've ever made. Mr. Azemika was very professional and highly competent throughout the entire... difficult process. Because of his history, associations, and courtroom experience here in Bakersfield he was able to consistently predict and out-maneuver the tricks, traps, and strategies of opposing counsel. Without exception, his efforts on my behalf resulted in the most advantageous outcomes. His rates and billing practices were fair and honest. In fact, I know of far less competent attorneys here in Bakersfield who charge exorbitant rates for what was ultimately ineffective counsel. Not Mr. Azemika -- he did an excellent job, has my utmost respect, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a consummate professional in the areas of family and divorce law, and child custody.

I had a different attorney before I hired Nick. Before I even hired Nick, I had heard about him from many other people. For some reason I wish I knew now, I did not hire Nick. Instead, I hired this other attorney. It turned out to be the worse decision of my life. My ex-husband claimed that I be...at one of my kids and the judge gave him custody of both my kids. For over a year, I had supervised visitation, and then limited unsupervised visitation. My case was going no-where and I was just seeing my kids for 4 days each month. My mother then told me I should just go see that one lawyer that everyone keeps telling me to hire. So, I made an appointment and went and saw Nick Azemika. At first, he did not want to take my case on because he told me that it was bad. In fact, I remember crying in my office. He felt bad and told me he would review my file and call me and tell me if he will represent me. I begged him to take on my case. Thank God, Nick agreed to take on my case. By the time my case was over, I had my kids half the time. I went from 4 days per month to having my kids every other week. Nick was amazing. He was so on top of things. He was always available to me. I could call him, or email him. He gets his emails on his phone and he would respond to me within a matter of minutes. In court, the judge would listen to him more than any other attorney. When he walked into the court the first time, the judge immediately acknowledged him. When we met with my ex husband and his attorney, Nick just took over. I did not have to say a word. He just talked and they listened. It was amazing. Now, over two years later, my husband has referred all of his friends to Nick. He told me he does not want to go to court ever again and he just wants to get along. My ex husband does not want to mess with me anymore because he knows I will go right back and hire Nick Azemika.
