Wazhma Mujaddidi is my Angel!

I strongly recommend Ms. Mujaddidi to all legal matter, especially family law. She is an expert in her field and highly regarded in the legal arena. I had an opportunity for her to represent me for a family law matters during my divorce. During the process, she explained to me the complicated lega...l process and guided me in every step of the case. Her strong legal skills, compassion and knowledge of the family were a game changer in the outcome of my case. I was horned to know her as an Afghan woman and truly cannot thank her enough for being there for me and changing my life forever. Thank you Ms. Mujaddidi and God Bless you and your beautiful family!

Wahzma Mojaddidi the true definition of a trustworthy and intellengent laywer

Wahzma is the lawyer that you should hire for your next case. she is an amazing person that will work very hard to win your case. She is a very kind hearted indivisual that will take the time to listen to every detail about your case. I hired Wahzma originally to fight my custody case for my son, I w...as very nerves about loosing my son but wahzma set times for me to meet with her to explain excatly what was going to go on in the court room and gave me motivation that she will win my case. Wahzma won my custody case like she said she would. Wahzma is a blessing for me and family. I am currently going threw divorce and i know wahzma with win this case as well.

Replied last February 16, 2013

It was a pleasure working with you and I am happy that you received the results that you did in your case. Just to clarify, I advised you about the strengths of your case before trial without guaranteeing an outcome. It would be unethical to guarantee an outcome in any legal matter.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
