Nicholas Payvand Azemika

I have retained Nick on two different occasions. Both times he obtained very favorable outcomes in my case. He always returned calls and emails promptly and thoroughly. His expertise in family law is of the highest caliber as is evident by the degree of respect he has with his peers. He has amazing n...egotiation skills with the passion to pursue your case for your desired outcome. If Nick tells you something you can rely on it being the truth. No blowing smoke to make you feel he is your advocate. He is a fine lawyer who I have been impressed and immensely satisfied with. He has a quick wit which puts you at ease from the moment you meet him. In addition to Nick his brother Anthony is also available as his law partner with whom he has often consulted with on my case to obtain the absolute best outcome for me. You might say you actually get two lawyers for the price of one. Nick in and of himself is a great bargain but with Anthony it is an absolutely GREAT deal. Both are professionals' of the highest caliber as is their office staff which includes Bridget, Kimberly and Echo. They are all very interested in providing the best services for their clients. They made what was a very stressful experience a much more organized and calm outcome. I would recommend Nick to anyone looking to handle their family law needs. You will be very happy with your choice of the law firm of Azemika and Azemika. Because of his outstanding professionalism, skill level and sensitivity for his clients I affectionately refer to him as "Saint Nick". Thank you Nick.

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.

Nick took care of me when I was going through a very tough divorce. My wife was very angry and unreasonable. She also had a very unreasonable female lawyer who was not interested in resolving the case at all. Instead, all my wife and her attorney wanted to do was keep fighting about everything, no... matter how reasonable their position was. Nick was always very responsive to all of my questions. He fought so hard for me. There were times I could see how angry he was that he had to waste his time and my money to fight on issues that should have been settled. I honestly thought that Nick fought for me on everything that was important to me. If I decided to fight on something that was small, he would talk me out of it by telling me that it would take more money to fight over that issue that it is worth. But, on most issues he fought his heart out and we won EVERYTHING. The moment you walk into the court house you KNOW that you hired one of the top guys in town. Everyone in the court house from the bailiffs, to clerks, to court reporters and judgment, they all treat Nick and his brother with so much respect. You know that these guys are well respected and liked by everyone in the courthouse, including the judges. The best decision I made in my divorce was to hire Nick Azemika.

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.

Before I went through my divorce, I made sure I researched all the lawyers in Bakersfield. The one name that kept coming up was the “Azemika brothers.” Most people kept telling me to hire one of the “Azemika brother.” Some would tell me to hire Nick Azemika. So, I decided to meet with Nick. But,... I met with 4 other lawyers too, just to make sure I hired the right divorce lawyer. Thank God, I hired Nick Azemika. From the very first meeting, Nick made me feel so comfortable and confident. He was so personable and answered all of my questions and concerns. My ex-husband hired three different lawyers throughout our divorce. After our divorce was over, he told me that so many times he had wished that he hired Nick Azemika, before I hired him. Apparently, my ex-husband was also referred to Nick, but I got in and hired Nick first. Throughout my divorce case, Nick was always ready. He also always responded to all of my questions. The one thing I was so impressed with was how Nick would always respond to me by emails. I would email him questions and concerns, he would email me right back or within a day or two. It was not uncommon for me to get emails back from Nick at nights or on weekends. I swear I would hire Nick again if I ever wind up in divorce court without any hesitation. I also find it funny that my ex-husband is even referring his family and friends to Nick. I found out after my divorce was over that my ex-husband’s sister hired Nick for her divorce. That right there should tell you how good Nick Azemika is as a divorce lawyer.
