I was in a challenging position with defending my case, during the height of the pandemic. Berenji and Associates were one of a very few law firms that were accommodating to me, and able to receive me as a client. My first encounter was with the office lead, Ms. Jacqueline Lara. She was very professional, courteous, and extremely helpful with resources that guided my next steps, during an emotional time. Her responsiveness and courtesy never waivered throughout my process with the firm. Meeting and discussing my case with lead attorney and founding executive, Mr. Hossein Berenji, he immediately knew what to say, my current options, and how to help my case that would lend the best possibilities to ensure my future endeavors. His mastery within the negotiating arena, and courtroom demeaner was impressive to experience, and I grew confident in our potential for success. The assisting attorney, Mr. Steven Kunysz's ability to access and dive into the content of documents was impressive, as well. His organization and his articulation of the case's information gave me ease that I was in good hands. Thank you.

I am an attorney and I have known Hossein Berenji for a good while now and I have worked cases both with him and on the other side of him. I can say he is a zealous advocate for this clients , and he is not afraid to get involved in matters that really require work and diligence. He is my go to source for family law issues, and he never disappoints. Would recommend his firm to anyone seeking family law assistance.

It was great working with Mr Berenji. They were very responsive and professional. they really know what they are doing. from talking with Mr Berenji about my case I understood within few minutes that I am in good hands.

Mr. Berenji is very professional and quick to respond to any questions and concerns. He has helped me every step of the way during my divorce trial. I have yet to meet a lawyer with a stronger morale compass and who genuinely cares about his client than him. I would strongly recommend Berenji & Associates!

Although my dad was an attorney, it is often most difficult to find a compassionate attorney. I was referred to the offices of Brenji and Associates by a colleague and friend. Following the referral , I conducted my own research and was most pleased by the results and the reviews regarding the firm. My divorce case has taken a long period of time and is still in progress. Throughout this time Mr. Brenji , his associate, Annie Arkelian , and his entire staff have been most compassionate, kind, and have always provided me with valuable assistance. Brenji and Associates have been extraordinary professional and well above the expectations from a law firm. I Highly recommend Mr. Brenji , his associates , and the firm to family and friends. With Mr. Brenji and his firm on board, I felt I was always in great hands. He and Annie have continuously responded to any of my concerns or questions immediately , weekdays or weekends.

I was referred to Provinziano & Associates by my family lawyer here in Arizona because of their expertise in jurisdiction. Me and my ex had an informal written agreement that our kids would live with me in AZ through the school year and visit him in CA on school breaks. On spring break of this year, my ex did not put my kids back on the plane home and ghosted me for 2 days. Because of jurisdictional issues, I needed a CA attorney to represent me and make the case that my kids are residents of AZ so we could have our case here. My lawyer, Al; and his paralegal Ava have made my life easier knowing that my case was in such great hands. They are professional, responsive, and so far everything has gone in our favor. I would highly recommend them in any custody or jurisdictional case. I wish I could have them represent me here in AZ for the remainder of my case! They do cost a bit more than I was financially ready for, but I could never put a price on the peace of mind they provided and exceptional results we got. They are working with me on that front as well, and I couldn’t rate them highly enough. Thank you Al, Ava, and the whole team for all of your hard work!

I have known Al Provinziano for over 8 years. He is someone who is kind, consistent, and dependable. In both his professional and personal life, he works hard to give his best effort in all he does. Recently, a friend of mine was in need of an attorney who could handle a very difficult divorce and custody case. Without hesitation, I gave my friend Al's contact information. I knew that he would work tirelessly on her behalf, offer sound legal counsel, and that he would be someone who actually cares about her situation. Al truly is the best of the best!

Al is a friend and I have worked with he and his wife for years in business. They are amazing people! I recently needed a very important referral relative to Family Law. Al was super responsive and caring and gave us a great resource. He went above and beyond and offered some very important recommendations for the issues at hand. Many thanks again Al!

When I began my search for a family law attorney, I quickly learned that not all attorneys are competent in their area of practice. Al Provinziano was the only attorney whom I trusted with confidence because his competence and experience puts him in a different class of family law firms. Al’s professional advocacy is stellar, and his team is most empathetic and responsive. I especially appreciated that he kept things from turning ugly and protected me from emotional distress. He truly has made a difference for my family by helping me receive the college funds that I was owed through child support payments. I recommend Provinziano & Associates without an ounce of reservation!

As I was looking for an attorney to represent me in obtaining permanent guardianship of my grandsons, God lead me to the office of Alphonse Provinziano! Alphonse’s compassion and commitment to my case surpassed my expectations . On Christmas Day I had ran into an issue and Alphonse took the time to personally call me back. As we spoke, he reassured me that all would be fine. Alphonse Provinziano has a wonderful team of professionals working by his side. June, Alexis, and Kaiko. And although, these legal situations are extremely stressful, Alphonse and his team made the process less stressful. His expertise in family matters is key to a successful outcome. I highly recommend him. Always grateful, D. Rangel

Cary Goldstein has been very responsive, extremely knowledgeable, and has looked out for my best interest since the day I contacted him. I really appreciate the time he has spent in understanding my case in order to guide me in the right direction. It's a good feeling to know you have someone you can count on when there's a time in need. Thank you, Cary.

These are friends of his in the reviews! This turkey is horrible and so are his "gloria allred " crew! Please run, their are other professionals who will get the job done!

I was referred to Cary by Steven Mindel to review my palimony case for viability. My legal situation is very complicated nearly 5 years later & 4 lawsuits between my ex & myself, so I knew it wouldn’t be “quick” or “easy” getting Cary caught up enough to decipher the situation, but I very clearly understand now why he is a difficult man to get a hold of, & why his hourly rate is as high as it is - because Cary is worth it. I walked in not expecting to get as much time, respect, information, support & truth as he kindly provided me with. I arrived with a sheet of paper that drew/listed out, each of the lawsuits: the case number, judge, date filed & complaints, organized chronologically. Cary spent about an hour with myself & a trusted family friend deciphering the overall situation & the best strategy moving forward. He told us what he knew about judges & other lawyers & their demeanours, he used his own past cases as examples to help us understand how he would arrive at his opinions. Ultimately, he told us the truth. It wasn’t necessarily enjoyable to hear (that basically everything I’ve already lost is lost forever & most likely will just get worse) & he agreed that none of this is by any means fair… but it was realistic & honest, & I can’t imagine a greater gift from an attorney. Altogether, Cary said it was not in my best interest to move forward on this case - that Cary could take my money at an hourly rate, but he didn’t feel the emotional & financial expenses were worth it. When I told him that I didn’t care if I spent every last dollar paying him just to drag my ex through some of the horrors my ex has dragged me through time & again, Cary calmly brought me back down to grown-up Earth: “That isn’t a good way of looking at it.” He reminded me that I’m still young enough to let this go & enjoy my life, & after a few tears, I felt lighter & good about letting this case (& everything else I’ve lost in these terrible 5 years)... go. Cary is patient, clear, kind, extremely knowledgeable, well-connected in the Los Angeles County court system, professional, realistic, & unexpectedly he also has a dry, lovely sense of humour in stolen moments. I would have felt proud & grateful to have him representing me. In my experience & interactions with him, I truly found Cary Goldstein to be a good man & a brilliant lawyer.

This law firm saved my life. They are one of the best in Los Angeles. They know what they're doing. Attorney Cary Goldstein is very experienced and also committed to helping women, so if you're a female, expect to be treated with respect. Cary's female associates, attorneys Lauren and Sarah work with Cary as a team, so you feel safe and protected going through the divorce process. I did my research before I hired him, so I knew that Cary Goldstein is also the top attorney in the country for Palimony cases. Unlike most palimony attorneys, Cary also has years of experience with Palimony cases. I was lucky enough to find Cary Goldstein as my attorney.

Most honest attorney I know with genuine intetest in helping. One of few man of character in the business.

Where do I begin. My family law matter was a very long one. I was scared, nervous and extremely emotional. I really loved the fact that Steven and his team were very professional and honest. They kept me grounded and was very real with me in regards to all issues. He and his associates addressed every single concern, understood me, empathized, and made my process all easier. Everyone at the office too, they are on top of things, answer quickly and overall kind. When you go into a sensitive process that can also be lengthy, having someone kind definitely helps the journey. I'm so grateful I hired Stolar & Associates, APLC.

Thank you Steven Stolar, Rose Barsamyan and Jenny Barizian of Stolar and Associates for making the seemingly impossible, possible. You have been the angels over, in and around me guiding me thru one of the most stressful, unhappy and challenging experiences I will ever endure. You were my light when I couldn't see, my might when I couldn't be, keeping the ship tight in my stormy sea. Thank you, for I am gratefully free!!!

I am glad I found Steven Stolar and his staff. I had never been through a divorce so I didn't know what to expect. It was a steep learning curve for me and, at times, a difficult process, during which Steven and his associate guided me - minimizing confusion, frustration and fear - to the best outcome for my set of circumstances. His office is on top of cases - they are knowlegable, remain aware of the details and status of your case and any new laws that may impact it. They are also accessible - responding to emails and calls promptly. I think Steven Stolar and his staff provide everything you could hope for in a family law practice.

I am absolutely satisfied with my decision to hire Steven Stolar and his team for my child custody case. I was nervous, afraid and scared that I was going to fall apart through all of this legal stuff. Steven and his team did everything they could for me. They all brought me calmness and comfort in such a difficult time in my life. They were efficient, professional and always available when I had questions, doubts and concerns. If I should ever be in this type of situation again, I would definitely hire them again. I recommend Steven and his firm to anyone seeking the best legal professional help. They helped end my case in the most favorable possible way for me. Steven and his team are the absolute best!

I am satisfied with this Law Firm. They handled my case, and got me what I needed.

Thank you Mr. Pakravan for sound legal advice!

Jonathan is very knowledgeable which made me feel comfortable hiring him as my attorney. I found him to be honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring, no non-sense. He was very straight forward with what he could do for me. He personally answered all of my questions and phone calls. He handled my case in very timely fashion, I was very impressed. Jonathan is the best attorney I have ever had represent me, I wish there were more attorney's like him. If you need an attorney that can get your case completed in the most professional manner possible, he is the attorney for you.

The law offices of Jonathan Pakravan gives you the best of both worlds, the pedigree of a top law firm and the personal care needed while going through any difficult family law scenario. Jonathan has become a trusted advisor with all of his experience, expertise, network and family law acumen. Highly recommend.

Jonathan Parkavan represented me and my children in a move away case. He has an exemplary understanding of Family Law, and was able to communicate with me so I fully understood the process and the seriousness of my case. He was professional, fair, and trustworthy, and he kept our case based in facts and above board. He gave me advice, but always made sure that I was in charge. He was very accessible and returned my calls and emails in a timely manner. After our trial was concluded he was able to get our judgement entered quickly, and he still checks on me and my family from time to time. I would recommend and have recommended him to anyone that was in need of a dedicated and rational family attorney.

I was dealing with a lengthy divorce with a very difficult ex-spouse that used every delay tactic available to her, driving up the costs of attorney fees and dragging out the proceedings for over two years before I decided to switch law firms and retain the Law Offices of Jonathan Pakravan. Within the course of a year, he was able to finalize my divorce and adjust my child support all while doing it with integrity and respect towards opposing counsel. That is something my previous attorney was not able to do! A process that I thought would never end and with opposing counsel unable to communicate or compromise, Jonathan Pakravan did everything I asked him to do and would be my first choice for anyone looking for a family law attorney. Thank you again for all the hard work over the past year!

He was very straight forward with what he could do for me. He personally answered all of my questions and phone calls. He handled my case in very timely fashion, I was very impressed. Jonathan is the best attorney I have ever had represent me, I wish there were more attorney's like him. If you need an attorney that can get your case completed in the most professional manner possible, he is the attorney for you.

If I could give more stars, I would. Tamara literally saved my life from a dangerous predator. She knew exactly how to guide me through the process and made sure I understood everything before proceeding on to the next issue, and was always very straightforward and honest. Mine was a very long and drawn-out process due to the level of psychosis of the other party involved, and Tamara definitely went above and beyond to keep me safe and ensure that my property remained in my possession. She worked when she was sick, pulled all-nighters and hustled over the holidays to ensure my safety. She made sure I received the maximum amount of protection from the courts, and even helped me regain some of the legal fees. She truly cares for her clients and it shows. I know she had lots of other cases besides mine but she always made me feel as though she was always there for me, and always responded immediately in an emergency, no matter the hour. She is truly what a great attorney is SUPPOSED to be. I always felt confident with her support, and believe me when I say that you will do well to trust her. Addendum 07/18/2021: Well unfortunately I was in the position where I had to hire an attorney again because of the same vexatious litigant, but I am so grateful to have Tamara on my side! She once again came through for me when I needed her the most, put my fears to rest, and took care of business. You will not find a more hard-working and empathetic professional in this field. Guaranteed.

I looked at the reviews and they were really good so gave her a call to help me with my divorce case and she made an appointment and the consultation was $425 when there are other people who do free consultation. It was alot but she told me she would put it on my retainer fee. So we made an appointment with her and she said her secretary would send me an email to confirm and they never did. That was a red flag. But I gave her a chance and I called again to send the email and they did. Then we made an appointment. I was ready for my appointment and they cancelled on me when I payed the consultation already. We made another appointment. She was late for our new appointment and she called and she cut me off because she needed to "order lunch for her son for school." And I was like what kind of professionalism is this? Then I let her do what she needed to do which took like 30 minutes but it was fine because I'm also a mother but she could've done that before our appointment. At that point I regretted paying her. I asked how much I was going to pay to finish my divorce and she said $10,000. I was like omg to just finish? I thought it would be 2500 or something. I asked her for some of my money back because she didn't even anything and everything was incorrect and she started arguing with me when I didn't get my full hour consultation either. I thought everything would be fine but paying her in the first place was a big mistake. Shes not professional at all I don't recommend her. There are other people who give free consultation and do a good job unlike Tamara.

Tamara knew exactly how to guide me from the first day she reviewed my situation. And even though court matters can take a while to settle in your favor, her advice was in alignment with what I needed to gain justice in a horrible situation. My situation was really bad because I lacked representation initially and had made mistakes of my own. I am overjoyed now that I did what she advised because it was such an enormous gain for me. So, thanking Tamara for what she did for me over time. She showed tremendous dedication in getting my visitation expanded and mapping out a way for me to gain my custodial rights back!! Tam, you proved to be a 300-mile-away gem in my personal journey of hardship!! Thankful to God for divinely having our paths cross at such a crucial and scary time for me. Sincerely, Ms. B.

I highly recommend hiring the services of Tamara Benefield. My personal experience with ms. Benefield was 5 stars excellent. I felt like everything was taken care of in an exceptional manner. If you are in need of a Divorce & Family law attorney don't hesitate to call Tamara Benefield Law Office.

Tamara's knowledge of the law reflects her awesome pedagogical achievements from her university days it seems. She was like a walk dictionary of knowledge which was so very helpful to my case. Thank you so much Tamara.

I highly recommend Ms. Atighechi. She is a true professional--a knowledgeable, well-respected attorney, and a class act. She genuinely cares about her clients, is objective, and provides solutions and next steps for a strong legal strategy, all while remaining supportive of her clients. She works hard for her clients and their families. She is prompt with her replies and there to answer your questions and concerns. She is fair and honest, which is so refreshing. I have referred her to people over the years who ended up hiring her as well and they share the same sentiments. She is a good person and a wonderful attorney. You're in good hands with Ms. Atighechi!

Maryam Atighechi is a fantastic attorney who gets the job done. She was extremely professional and communicative during my divorce, especially at times when I was most stressed out. If you need a family law attorney, Maryam is the best!

I met Miss. Atighechi 3 years ago at a networking event in Beverly Hills. When chatting with her, I could definitely tell that she is very well rounded when it comes to Family Law. About 1.5 years ago my sister came to me and stated that she is getting a divorce. She expressed that she needed a TOP family law attorney. I of course remembered Miss. Atighechi, and referred her to my sister. Miss Atighechi did an outstanding job in navigating my sister through the divorce court system, and in the end, she WON my sister's case. I highly recommend that you enlist with Miss. Atighechi If you are in need of a TOP family law attorney. 10 out of 10 service. Thank you, Maryam.

What can I say about Maryam? She is absolutely the best attorney I could have found. I am so lucky to have found her. She is very calm and collected when dealing with you. However, she's as tough as nails with the other side. She resolved my custody issues almost immediately. And that was just the beginning! Maryam would have settled my case in less than a year had the other side not dragged their feet. In the end I got everything I wanted! I highly recommend Maryam and have already referred a friend to her. I will forever refer Maryam to anyone that needs a great family law attorney. If you're deciding on a family law attorney and want favorable results, I would look no further than Maryam. Thanks Maryam! You're the greatest!

If you’ve been referred to Maryam, look no further. This woman is so kind caring and accessible. you will not get the level of care and accessibility from someone else. I felt so safe in her hands and have felt very blessed to be referred to such a knowledgeable and caring woman!

WOW is the first word that comes to mind about Warren.  I had a tough case fighting for custody of my teenager.  It is hard to enforce custody orders when your child is older and it was imperative to have enforceable orders as the clock was running out.  His orders along with Ex Parte's to get the job done in the shortest time we could do, were amazing.  Warren knew just the orders to ask for that were enforceable.  If you are coming from your heart as a parent for the best interest of your child, taking steps towards that goal consistently and with determination. Warren can help you move forward as soon as possible for the best interest of your child.  I highly recommend him so very much!! I highly recommend him so very much!!

Warren did a fine job. I think we worked together, and communicated well, as a team. We established three or four key points. Gathered facts and data, and presented those in very clear, almost irrefutable Exhibits. Being as highly motivated as I was to win this case, I was willing to put in whatever hours were needed to generate documents that supported the arguments as Mr. Shiell indicated. All in all, the outcome was better than I had hoped.

Warren is conscientious, reliable, intelligent, and professional. He did great work for me and I'd happily work with him again in the future. He explained everything to me clearly in terms I could understand, and followed through with excellent results. His knowledge and experience in family law is unrivaled - some of his work has become case law! In fact, the lawyer on the other side of the table clearly respected Warren very highly, which helped resolve things very quickly and effectively.

Warren Shiell did an excellent job representing me. He clearly knows his subject matter inside and out, and is highly articulate in his arguments. I found him to be not only very responsive but also proactive, as well as reliable and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Warren in any matter regarding family law. He is very smart, an expert in the field and an excellent person to have on your side.

I hired Warren Shiell to deal with a relatively straightforward matter involving the renegotiation of the final stages of my divorce agreement. While the legal aspects were not complicated, I needed someone who could help me plan out a strategy in advance (I came to him almost six months before a deadline mandated in the agreement) and be sensitive to the psychology of the situation. I’m sorry to report he was inattentive both to the case and to the notes I gave him about dealing with my ex, was difficult to reach, called out of the blue only when it suited him, failed to draft a proposal letter as I repeatedly ask him to do and then, with just a few weeks to go before deadline, disappeared on vacation for a month without any forewarning. The one document he produced was a strategy sheet, which largely reproduced work done by a forensic accountant (for which I had paid separately) and proved to be almost entirely unusable after I hired a new – fabulous, efficient, attentive and effective – attorney. After I dismissed him, it took him more than a month to provide a final billing and a check for the balance of my retainer, and then only after repeated reminders that became necessarily more insistent. In the wake of his dismissal, he charged three times as much for the last month as he had for previous four. He insisted he had charged me correctly for the work he put in, but I saw scant evidence that that was the case. I was deeply disappointed because Mr. Shiell came warmly recommended as a tough but fair-minded divorce lawyer who charged reasonable rates and gave clients their money’s worth. That was not my experience, on any front. Perhaps he didn’t find my case all that interesting. If so, he should have turned me down and/or referred me elsewhere, not wasted my time and my money. Others beware.
