very bad lawyer
Hi my ex wife and I used her to handle our divorce agreement and most of the time Samira Nikaein was out of the Country and not able to communicate at all. Many mistakes in the document she prepared for us , so I had to correct it and send it back to her just to sign. Never the less, once our d...
You were never my client. Your ex-wife was my client. Since she was my client I had a legal obligation to respond to her only and not you. Per her permission I did mail you the marital settlement agreement which you did not agree on some of its terms. They were not mistakes. Lastly, I had no duty to mail you any documents, Everything that was mailed to you was per your wife's request. You did not pay me a penny. Your ex-wife did and she did received all the paperwork. I had no legal obligation to send you anything! Your x-wife was very happy with our office.

Excellent attorney
I was so desperate. My case was so complicated that two attorneys refused to take my case. Samira Nikaein accepted the challenge for a very reasonable price. She worked hard and we got an excellent result. I have already recommended her few times and my friends were also very happy with the result.
Thank you. Samira Nikaein
