Highly recommended

Nick Azemika has been my one and only family law attorney; but I can confidently say that without him, my divorce and custody battle would have been MUCH more stressful. I think many attorneys over promise and under deliver, while Nick gives a conservative assessment of the situation, then the ac...tual outcome ends up being better than projected. That was my experience with him anyway. Nick has been working in his field a long time and is very competitive. He simply hates losing. Tell him what your priorities are and let him do his work. He’ll listen to your ideas and will jump on anything good; but if he tells you something isn’t a good plan or good idea, it’s probably not. Trust that he knows what can work, what won’t work and what’s a waste of your time and money. Speaking of money, he bills fairly. You’ll know what his rates are for all his work right up front. You shouldn’t be surprised when you get your monthly bill. He doesn’t nickel and dime you and he doesn’t charge for fri

Best Attorney in Town

I knew right away that Nick was the attorney for me when we met at my consultation. Nick gladly took my case. Nick and his team delivered on every promise made throughout the process. Getting a divorce is not pleasant by any means, but this team made the experience less stressful and a little less p...ainful. My divorce took 11 months start to finish. I do not recommend anyone getting a divorce. In my opinion it is the worst thing that anyone can go through but if you find yourself in this situation I highly recommend Azemika & Azemika to represent you. Trust me! You will not be disappointed.

Nick is amazing

I needed a consultation regarding family law/child custody. Nick responded right away and took his time to ask me questions about my concerns without being dismissive. During our consultation, he answered each question I had, and provided clarification. Super professional and respectful. He took his ...time when looking over my paperwork. There was no pressure to provide a retainer, he really seemed to have my best interest at heart. Personally supported me not just as my lawyer but as a friend. I was scared and not knowing the process and outcome, he always said it like it was. I would leave the office at ease every time. Nick was always on top of paperwork and responded to my emails promptly. I had the best team Nick , Kim, Bridget I would hire every time again and again if needed. Thank you so much !!

Mr.

My divorce was a long time coming, and I had many misconceptions. The process was extremely uncomfortable, and I would encourage anyone to do ANYTHING they can to save their marriage before they consider divorce. That being said, if you reach a point like the one I did, and had no alternative, Azem...ika & Azemika is worth every penny. Nick explained everything in detail, and walked through the entire process with me. His expertise shielded me from rash and/or uneducated decisions. His presence kept me from having to engage the court, and now ex-wife, and proved the most valuable offering he could make. There comes a point when you are thinking about the money you are paying out, and you think you have a good handle on everything, but I can say that there were moments in the courthouse when the emotions were overwhelming, and I am so glad he was there. Bridgett is an incredibly sweet person and makes me feel welcome and comfortable every time I come into the office. She and Kim both walked me through all of the paperwork along the way and helped me do everything that I needed to get done. Whenever I call into their office, or if I am fortunate enough to be able to walk in, Bridgett treats me wonderfully and makes me feel like family. Thank you, Nick and family, for everything. I don't know how I would have gotten through this process without all of your help!

Consultation

My divorce consultation went well. Mr. Azemika gave me truthful answers to my questions. He didn’t sugar coat anything & let me know, regardless, CA is a 50/50 state & that is what the end result will be. He did not lead me on about anything. He was very professional.
