Simply The Best

Wazhma is hands down one of the best attorneys in the region. Three and a half years ago I was going to lose my kids, my home and my reputation had I not engaged Wazhma and her expert team at Mojaddidi Law to take over my case. She and her team are very professional, hard working and extremely knowle...dgeable in family law. They are extremely thorough and will leave no stone unturned to get justice for their clients. Today after a prolonged legal battle, I have majority custody of my kids and my home all because of her diligent legal expertise. I will recommend her in a heartbeat.

Outstanding Professional

My family law case was so complicated and inflammatory that I lost representation. A local lawyer highly recommended I consult with Wazhma about challenges faced. In desperation, I followed recommendations. To my great relief, I found Wazhma to be a highly skilled professional willing & able to cal...mly & effectively navigate through the complexities of my case. Her team was readily available at all times to offer positive support & aggressive advocacy. Wazhma treated me with kindness & respect despite my desperate circumstances. I highly recommend Mojaddidi Law & am confident others in need will greatly benefit from Wazhma & her team’s high level of professional competency.

A++ Attorney!

I am deeply grateful for Wazhma’s services and help during a very difficult and painful time in my life. Her hard work, legal knowledge, litigation skills, preparedness, dedication and passion eased my stress and anxiety. She and her amazing team took a genuine interest in the well-being of my three ...boys. When I met her at my consultation, she listened to my delicate situation and her advice went beyond my expectations. She made me feel secure and prepared me, thus allowing me to walk into court confident of the outcome. Throughout the entire process I was always well informed, my phone calls and emails promptly returned and all my questions and concerns were addressed. She was patient and understanding to my difficult, painful and often frustrating situation but she always was uplifting and assuring. She remained calm and focused during the times I was not. We ended our fight with a hug, a hug I will never forget. I had gone through two other attorneys before hiring Wazhma and I am thankful I was recommended to her. She is worth every penny! Thank you Wazhma, Patty, Chelsea and Lorena for your outstanding work and representation in my case. It was and is a pleasure working with you all!

My recent experience working with Attorney Wazhma

I was referred to Wazhma by a family friend (also an attorney). Coming from a family of lawyers, I was looking for the most qualified Attorney to represent my best interest. I also obtained additional references from retired judges with personal knowledge of Wazhma’s performance in courtrooms. Excel...lent grade “A” references. Everything checked out to my full satisfaction. Throughout the case, Attorney Wazhma educated me on the law, patiently listening to my concerns, explaining my options, and when needed aggressively fighting for me in courtroom. My key observations during the case: - Had me review all documents before submission to court - Sought my opinion / feedback in all decision making - Detailed line-item billing - sincere and honest - When needed, provided 24/7 support to comfort me - Prepared, organized, goal oriented and highly effective I wholeheartedly refer Attorney Wazhma to anyone looking for a strong lawyer. She is definitely brilliant, trustworthy and highly respected in the courtroom.

The Best Family Attorney in Sacramento

Wazhma is professional attorney. At first I did not have attorney and it was mistake. Dealing with my ex I knew I need a knowledge hard working attorney. I prayed to God to send me the right attorney who would help me. I did some research and when I saw Wazhma's page and reviews I called her office s...he answered the phone. She guide me through the divorce process. She helped to get what was mine despite the fact my ex wanted all to himself. She helped me to avoid trial. If you look for a good, professional, fair and knowlegible attorney Wazhma and her office is the best choice. Wazhma was my best choice first and last. Thank you.

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.
