Child custody case
Roya was such a sigh of relief for my husband and I. To keep it brief, my husband was having a ton of trouble with his son’s mom. The main issue being her keeping his son from him for no valid reason. We had hired another attorney prior to Roya that was carefree, lazy, and outrageously expensive. Ill...

Great Attorney. Powerful in the Courtroom!
I hired Ms. Samarghandi to represent me in a hearing to seal a criminal record. Before hiring her, I interviewed several attorneys and felt that there were trying to discourage me from pursuing the matter due to the nature of the crime. Ms. Samarghandi set realistic expectations and was very compassi...

Excellent Service!
Roya Samarghandi was very helpful with a challenging and complex legal matter regarding getting an order of protection dismissed. Since I live in California, that made the situation even more difficult to navigate. Roya did an excellent job of answering all of our questions and was able to successf...

Excellent Lawyer
Roya was hired to handle Domestic Relation Litigation. She was knowledgeable and concise. She negotiated fairly and settled the issue swiftly. It was great to find an attorney who cares and considers clients total picture. She was a strong advocate. I would use her again if needed.

Great prenuptial agreement services
Roya was very helpful throughout, responsive, knowledgeable, efficient, and thorough, all things you want from someone representing you. I highly recommend her.
"I had a highly contentious case for years that involved multiple family members and purported fraudulent activity. The previous opposing counsels in the matter did not understand the legal complexities: this resulted in further litigation and animosities, leading to further frivolous litigation. The matter seemed to be never-ending. Attorney Samarghandi became involved and with our collective efforts, this highly litigious matter settled in less than two (2) months. Without her involvement, I have no doubt the matter would be ongoing, for really no reason. Attorney Samarghandi's intellect and legal prowess resulted in a fair and honorable resolution for all to this matter. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Samarghandi."
"I endorse Roya! Roya represents her clients zealously and professionally. She is highly skilled in the areas of criminal law and family law. Roya is a positive attribute within the legal community."
"Roya is a zealous advocate for her client while remaining reasonable and logical in strategies. I highly recommend her!"
