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.

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.
Roya Samarghandi's Lawyer Endorsements
"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!"
