Get guidence when you get divorced

Getting divorced is very overwhelming. A friend of mine referred me to Ali as "the smartest person she knows." I'm in SF and Ali is Sac, and even though we have never met I feel like he knows me. Ali is a stand up guy that isn't looking to take advantage of your situation. We communicated frequently ...both on the phone and email. He made sure I understood all my options and explained exactly how everything was going to play out. My ex husband was a stay at home dad who left the state when our relationship ended. I was worried I would have to pay him spousal support, but we were able to work out an agreement so that I didn't have too. We didn't have to go to court by signing the agreement, Ali he saved me a lot of time and money. I would highly recommend Ali to anyone who is overwhelmed with what to do once their marriage is over and doesn't know where to start. He's empathetic, fair, rational, and accessible. Everything you need in a divorce lawyer.

Ali Yousefi is a thorough and understanding attorney who is very responsive.

I hired Ali R. Yousefi through San Francisco Bar Lawyer referral service. He listened to my case and provided a thorough risk assessment before allowing me to choose how I would like to proceed with the case. My case involved a car collision and was near the statue of limitation. He and his team was ...very responsive on my case due to the time sensitive nature. They were diligent with the acquisition of necessary documents for the case. He and his team followed up the details of the case with me on a weekly basis. Throughout the process, Ali was responsive, understanding, and was willing to work with me to finalize the settlement. Thank you Ali.

Won my case. Wish I could rate my experiance with more than 5-stars!

I hired Ali R. Yousefi, because of a legal matter because I was a defendant in a law suit. All the other attorneys I spoke to wanted twice as much, and was almost certain I'd lose. Ali won the case with one-single filing!! I never even went to court!! Needless to say, I can now make a phone call,... and my legal woes are (if not immediately gone) they are handled expertly and very passionately and professionally by the best lawyer you are going to find. If you're serious about winning or defending your case, I promise you will not find a 1) smarter, 2) nicer, and 3) more effective attorney. After working with Ali for years now, I would not even consider another attorney--even if the other attorney offered their service for free, because I know Ali is going to be several steps ahead of even the best attorneys available, and I will win, or Ali will at the very least inflict some very-very deep wounds...

He is Great!

Ali Yousefi is great at what he is doing. He is the type of attorney that actually cares about his clients and understands their situations. Whenever we needed advice or knowledge about our case or anything else, he was always there and ready to answer our questions and concern.

Zealous and Very Intelectual

For the past 30 years, I have always consulted professionals to achieve the best results legally, where allowable by law and legal by TAX Codes. I met Mr. Yousefi as Esquire about 31 months ago at a symposium not law related and later at a 3 day convention. During the time I met him, it was very clea...r he is a bright and sharp minded intellectual. Benefit of doubt as my good friend and old legal counsel of 15 years had rang his retirement bell and transferring me to a bigger law firm, I saw a need to stay with a law firm that the lawyer is involved with my legit legal needs and up to date with tax laws. I coordinated a meeting and I had my personal assistant put a package together that it would address all the legal needs I would have. I asked Mr. Yousefi to respond back after 5 business day. It took him 8 days as he was reviewing the details of my package. Mr. Yousefi draw the required paperwork, and I had my retiring counsel to review it. After couple of questions and detailing the specifications needs we mutually agreed the needed relationship was established. Mr. Yousefi Esq. has delivered an utmost untouchable zealousness and the highest level of fiduciary duty. Mr. Yousefi Esq. is in the break of to be one the most super lawyers in near future in my professional opinion. S.S.M. California
