Steven Amir Hemmat

I found Steve to be noticeably astute and savvy. He was sympathetic and engaging to my concerns. He has an impressive breadth of legal knowledge that he skillfully applied to a potentially contentious estate planning situation after gathering all necessary data. If I ever need legal assistance again he will be the first attorney I call.

Mr. Hemmat is willing to listen. I feel like this is his greatest strength. We are dealing with a very complex situation which Mr. Hemmat was willing spend the time to understand. I really appreciate the consultation and hope you experience his sincerity as we have.

Steve is a game-changer! He was highly effective at cutting through volumes of false and misleading accusations made against me by my ex wife and her unethical attorney. They attempted to get my ex-wife sole custody of our two daughters. I had begun with an attorney from Goldberg-Jones and it did not go well. Out of frustration, I then represented myself for several months. The case was a mess and the judge assigned had made it substantially worse. I began consulting with Steve about 8 months into my case. Steve is excellent at sifting through information and determining what is the most valuable. In the end, instead of losing custody, I ended up gaining primary custody of my oldest daughter - the one worst abused by her mother. There is no way I could have achieved this on my own. Steve’s work got the best possible outcome for my children given the court system and circumstances. I only wish I had hired him from the start!

I consulted with and subsequently hired Steven Hemmat with regard to a personal injury claim. I had been involved in a preventable accident while volunteering at a health care facility, sustaining multiple serious injuries. Steve filed a personal injury claim on my behalf. I was particularly impressed with the way Steve operates his legal business with such efficiency. He is straightforward, gives his client at least weekly updates, and encouragement throughout the process. Steve possesses substantial legal expertise, plus he is a thoughtful, compassionate man by nature. He was able to bring my personal injury claim to mediation, resulting in a satisfactory settlement. I highly recommend the Law Office of Steven A. Hemmat to anyone seeking legal advice or dealing with legal issues. Steve will do an excellent job for you.

Steve had definitely walked me through every step of the way through WA's very complicated "Parenting Plan" process and documentation, in the most simplest way I could understand. He's done such a wonderful job at always being concise enough to get his point across, but with most importantly keeping in consideration of what MY expectations were for my child through drafting the plan. Steve's intentions has always been trustworthy. Through all the emotions and heartaches that I've dealt with in the past and at current with fighting for what we felt was right for my child, he never once fell off track with an oversight. If it weren't for Steve's knowledge and impeccable service that he has provided, I would not be in a better situation, than I was before.

I hired Steven to handle my divorce settlement. At every step he was great about communication, often leaving me a detailed voicemail as well as an email. This was especially helpful when I was busy at work and needed a quick update, but wasn't available for a lengthy call at that immediate moment. When we got started, I expressed financial concerns and did not want to exceed the retainer amount. Steven provided me with several tools to do my own calculations so that he would not charge me for extra time deciphering my financial statements. This resulted in more work on my end, but rather than explaining the nuances, I could quickly complete the inputs he needed and we could spend our time on my specific questions and determining next steps. This was my preference, and I did not want the process to be completely out of my hands. It helped me understand every aspect of the case. My ex continuously changed the terms of our agreement leading up to the final settlement. I often felt the terms were aggressive, punitive, and unfair. Steven did a good job of pushing back when it was deserved and helping me swallow the tough pills when there wasn't a good argument. He did a lot of research on previous cases similar to mine, and sent me the research to review and ask questions. We worked through several outcome scenarios together to determine the best course of action. On the last day, I panicked and thought maybe it wasn't the ideal outcome. Steven was level-headed and we talked through the agreement again. He assured me that under the circumstances it was favorable. Given the tough situation, it would have been impossible to feel like I "won", but I think Steven helped me find a fair solution that worked for all parties.

I retained the services of Mr. Hemmat based on a referal from a law colleague. I could not have been more please. Mr. Hemmat's experince in divorce law was evidence in every phase of my divorce. He was fair and transparent with his billing throughout. Once he got my feedback about what I thought would be an ideal outcome and what was realistic, he put a plan in place and never deviated from it. Mr. Hemmat was even keeled when I got emotional and kept us moving forward with the plan. I got the outcome I had hoped for while also feeling I had been fair to my ex-spouse. I would highly recommend Mr. Hemmat to anyone who wants an honest, fair, and transparent attorney who has invaluable experience in this realm of the law.

I hired Steve to handle my divorce. It was not amicable , and there was risk on it getting dragged unnecessarily longer on small details. Steve helped me see the bigger picture and understand every legal implication of the actions. His advice helped me save a lot of money which more than compensated the fees. More importantly, it gave me the peace of mind of knowing that my matters were in good hands.

I consulted with Steve Hemmat about my son's personal injury case. Steve was thorough at examining the points and gave me relevent information moving forward. Prompt and knowledgable. I would definitely use him again.

Steven assisted me with a very complex and urgent divorce situation. Given the circumstances of my divorce, it was a very emotional and confusing time. When I have worked with other attorneys in the past on other matters, I always felt pressured to work quickly, but Steven took a great deal of time during our initial consultation to review my situation in detail, listen to all my concerns, and suggest options. Steven's experience here was invaluable, as he presented an option to me that I otherwise would not have been aware of or considered (legal separation rather than traditional divorce), that addressed the complex situation we were dealing with, while still meeting both parties' needs, such as ongoing health insurance coverage. He honestly made a very painful situation quite simple and easy to deal with. And in the end he actually came in under budget, saving me a bit over his initial estimate. I have since consulted with Steven during a real estate transaction that was also a success for me thanks to Steven's help, and I will certainly continue to rely on him for my future legal needs. Highly recommended!

I hired Mr Steven Family low matter he successfully resolved the case 100% Mr Steven he is reasonable price For all the case you would be like to have Steven he is my right hand for all is job he did

Steve represented me in a contentious family law matter and was zealous, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the litigation. He successfully resolved the case through summary judgment, including winning attorney's fees from the other party. When opposing counsel engaged in potentially unethical conduct, Steve did not hesitate to file appropriate motions to address the issue. Throughout the ordeal, Steve was a calming presence, and was careful to explain the litigation in terms I understood. He clearly had a great deal of experience, and was on familiar terms with judges, lawyers, and other members of the legal community. I have worked with other lawyers, and was impressed by how responsive Steve was by comparison. He promptly responded to all my communications with thoughtful answers to my questions. If you ever need a family law attorney, you would be lucky to have Steve Hemmat.

Mr. Hemmat has been an extremely reliable and stable lawyer in a very challening case. He listened closely, but was ready to provide honest feedback and direction even when it was contrary to our initial beliefs. He provide reasoning and justification and didn't merely act as a mouth piece. He got to the truth of the matter and helped us with making the right ethical decisions even when the other party was attempting to exacerbate the conflict in an already challenging situation.

Steve was great and very professional. My case was dropped thanks to him

I hired Mr. Hemmat to assist me immediately after I had been served with initial Divorce papers. My ex is a particularly nasty, spiteful creature and he did a good job escalating everyone's emotions with his slanderous and baseless accusations against me and my family. Mr. Hemmat frankly did not have the stomach to separate emotional issues from rational issues at hand. I had suffered a few instances of domestic violence at the hands of my ex and Mr. Hemmat failed to provide me with counsel to physically protect myself (Protection Orders, Restraining Orders, No Contact, etc). Mr. Hemmat was unable to outline a clear strategy with a number of options by which we could proceed. I always felt like we were on the back foot, always reacting to what came our way. My ex's attorney was a bulldog and would continue to shower us with nonsense and Mr. Hemmat could not contribute to a strong response. Mr. Hemmat attempted to help me with the issue of settling a property dispute between me and my ex. It turns out he was not very well versed in matters of real estate litigation (as it pertains to a divorce, would've thought this was a common issue to be handled!). He ended up billing me for several hours of consult time with a real estate attorney who was in his office vicinity. I ended up asking Mr. Hemmat to withdraw so I could find a more aggressive lawyer. He is bright and kind, there's no doubt, but if you have a messy divorce or a complicated legal matter involving Real Estate, I would not recommend him.
