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.

Thank you Terry for helping me during my divorce as it was one of the hardest things for me. Because you took the time to listen to my case you handled my divorce in the best manner possible. Not only did you look out for me but you also looked out for my children. Thank you for being the wonderful person you are and a great attorney. The twins and I love you

She is very attentive, very professional, and very caring. You hear all these scary stories about attorneys being soulless creatures. Teresa crushes all those rumors. She listens to every concern you have and tries her best to get it done in a timely manor. I even received calls and emails over the weekend from her so she can get things done. She’s worth every penny.

Teresa Beyers handled my divorce and child custody case and i received everything i was asking for. I appreciated the extra attention and how she explained everything to me in a simple way so i would understand it. Highly recommend! Bruce M Soto

Terry Beyers was so compassionate in my sensitive case. I'm sure she has heard so many stories but listensed to my story as if it was her first time hearing about my type of case. When I had questions and contacted her by text, she would respond rapidly. I highly recommend her.

Mrs Beyers is the rarity in Family Law. She does not over reach and tells the truth about a massively broken system. She puts children first, and tries to get both sides to get to their separate futures. My divorce was a worst case scenario, and Mrs Beyers was brought in on limited scope to salvage what was gross misconduct by all against her client. She guided me (the father) to the places i need to be and is retained for support matters. As it only takes one to make a nasty divorce and my ex is that one.

To refer to Mark as a mediator isn't really describing what he does. He's trained and licensed as an attorney but meeting with Mark is a quick reminder why there are so many lawyer jokes. He's like the anti-lawyer. He truly truly cares about his clients and leaves his own agenda (if he even has one in these situations) outside the room. Mediation to help multiple parties come to a satisfying agreement is only part of what he does - I've come to refer to him as an emotional translator. When two people are angry at each other it's more than just anger - Mark helped me see this. There's hurt, betrayal, sadness, grief, and a myriad of other emotions I can't think of right now - but I bet Mark can! He's excellent with naming feelings that you may not know you even have. He's incredible at teaching people to see the other's point of view in a way that doesn't make you feel defensive of yours - huge for me as a control freak always in recovery. Mark helped me navigate a very difficult relationship I was having with my mother and I wanted to be able to let go of my anger - I was beginning to think it wasn't possible and it made me sad as my mom is getting older and I wanted so bad to heal our relationship while she's still here. Mark was incredibly instrumental in making that happen and I'm forever grateful. Like in any mediation situation it always takes all parties willing to do the work but Mark has a way of diffusing tension and making the parties willing and even WANTING to find peaceful resolution. Highly highly recommend him.

Mark is one of the few family law attorneys who is truly collaborative. I am a peacemaking attorney, as well, and I appreciate that Mark doesn’t just preach settlement of cases and then tell his clients what they have to do like most attorneys who still litigate. The fact that he no longer litigates is proof that he is committed to helping his clients to resolve their divorce without fighting in court. He doesn’t try to push the law onto his clients and instead listens to his clients’ concerns and values and is creative rather than being stuck on the law. He doesn’t rely on the dissomaster program to settle disputes but rather does the work to discuss the reality of his clients’ needs and budgeting. When Mark is involved in cases with me, I know he will move the case along without billing unnecessary hours, bullying and he won’t be too busy with court appearances. Leslie Howell

Mark was wonderful in helping us draw up our premarital agreement. His mediation style approach was instrumental in getting us to understand the concepts and implications of all items that needed to be addressed. Although we did not use a mediator, Mark's approach facilitated open communication and discussion. As a result, my husband and I entered our marriage with better communication skills and a much clearer picture of our financial commitments to each other, and our future. Thank you, Mark, for helping us to build and even stronger relationship!

My mother passed away earlier this year and since Mark had drawn up her living trust I felt it made sense to go to him for all the final paper work and ultimately a will of my own. He was exceedingly kind and easy to talk to and very promptly and thoroughly took care of everything for what I thought was a reasonable price. He took a lot of time to explain everything and let me know what all my options were. I can totally see how he would be an excellent mediator!!

Before working with Mark, my now ex-husband and I discussed and we both agreed on how to proceed. I hired a paralegal to prepare all the paperwork, but not understanding the process and what needed to be done, it didn’t feel right. So I decided to work with Mark. Within 30 min of our first consultation, I had learned that the prior document I filed was not correct and the court couldn’t have addressed the issues of division of property or support. Mark helped me to redo all the paperwork and as soon as it was done, my ex-husband decided he didn’t want to sign the agreement and had decided to do nothing. Mark helped me refile the paperwork and it was really frustrating because it ended up costing me more money. However, the 2nd time around we disregarded the previous agreement with my ex husband, and I sought guideline child support from him that I was previously willing not to take had he cooperated. In the end, the court has approved all the paperwork we filed and granted me $1000 child support per month. It was a pleasure working with Mark. He thought out the process and spent his time explaining every step of the way while giving me perspectives that I didn’t consider. I was able to make voluntary and informed decisions. Mark is very thorough and detail oriented, which really put me at ease knowing that everything would be handled properly.

I hired Castellanos & Associates for a nasty custody case. My ex wanted to move from California with our daughter. Edwin and his staff went to work on my case with all hands-on deck, and I truly felt valued. Not only was I able to stop my daughter from leaving, but I was able to get a joint parenting plan. Along the way, I was kept informed and always felt that my case was a priority. I would highly recommend Castellanos & Associates and will continue to turn to them moving forward. Thanks so very much.

I had a very simple divorce matter that my husband decided to make more difficult and everyone in the firm went out of their way to help me, from giving me the best advice long before I retained their services to following through all the way to the end. Everyone to a person has been overly kind, considerate and helpful. I found the fees reasonable and even during this COVID 19 period, I appreciate the work and effort the law firm gives me. You would do exceptionally well if you retained this firm for your legal needs.

Amazing Service, Great Knowledge and Wisdom. Sincere and Trustworthy Service. Helpful Staff and Professional Advice. Thank you Castellanos & Associates for your superb service : )

I retained Castellanos & Associates in 2013. I was married for over 24 years. I had thought the case would be simple as we did not have any minor children. My husband had a good job and a pension. However, I was wrong. The case became very toxic. My ex hired a lawyer and wanted to fight about everything we owned, including not wanting to pay support. At one point, he told me that he wanted to leave me with nothing. Thank god for attorney Edwin Castellanos and his staff. They fought for me and made sure I received everything I was legally entitled to. My case lasted five years because my Husband would not settle and wanted to litigate everything. Mr. Castellanos has a very busy practice and is often in Court, but he explained that to me when I first hired him. I could have gone with another lawyer, but Mr. Castellanos was very patient with me and explained the entire process to me. I never felt that he had something else to do when he was with me. Even though my husband hired a very aggressive lawyer to intimidate me. I would say his lawyer was a loudmouth. Mr. Castellano's knowledge of family law won over the Judge. I found out through this case that it's not who is louder but smarter. I won my case because of the excellent work and preparation of Castellanos & Associates. Since my case ended, I have referred Edwin Castellanos to various friends and family, and I heard that they had received the same level of representation that I got. I wanted to write this review because I want other people going through the same thing I went through to get the best possible legal representation I got. I recommend entirely Castellanos & Associates.

Castellanos & Associates represented me in my divorce case. I worked primarily with Edwin Castellanos. His calm and empathetic demeanor throughout the entire process made him a pleasure to work with. I found Edwin to be easily accessible, and he would always respond to me as soon as possible. When he was in Court, I could always count on speaking with another member of his staff that was equally knowledgeable about my case. Castellanos & Associates were professional yet sensitive to the emotions surrounding my divorce. I am thankful to Edwin and his team and appreciate their work, and will certainly recommend his legal services without reservation.

Everyone to a person has been overly kind, considerate and helpful. I found the fees reasonable and even during this COVID 19 period, I appreciate the work and effort the law firm gives me. You would do exceptionally well if you retained this firm for your legal needs.

    I retained Castellanos & Associates in 2013. I was married for over 24 years. I had thought the case would be simple as we did not have any minor children. My husband had a good job and a pension. However, I was wrong. The case became very toxic. My ex hired a lawyer and wanted to fight about everything we owned, including not wanting to pay support. At one point, he told me that he wanted to leave me with nothing. Thank god for attorney Edwin Castellanos and his staff. They fought for me and made sure I received everything I was legally entitled to. My case lasted five years because my Husband would not settle and wanted to litigate everything. Mr. Castellanos has a very busy practice and is often in Court, but he explained that to me when I first hired him. I could have gone with another lawyer, but Mr. Castellanos was very patient with me and explained the entire process to me. I never felt that he had something else to do when he was with me. Even though my husband hired a very aggressive lawyer to intimidate me. I would say his lawyer was a loudmouth. Mr. Castellano's knowledge of family law won over the Judge. I found out through this case that it's not who is louder but smarter. I won my case because of the excellent work and preparation of Castellanos & Associates. Since my case ended, I have referred Edwin Castellanos to various friends and family, and I heard that they had received the same level of representation that I got. I wanted to write this review because I want other people going through the same thing I went through to get the best possible legal representation I got. I recommend entirely Castellanos & Associates.

    Castellanos & Associates represented me in my divorce case. I worked primarily with Edwin Castellanos. His calm and empathetic demeanor throughout the entire process made him a pleasure to work with. I found Edwin to be easily accessible, and he would always respond to me as soon as possible. When he was in Court, I could always count on speaking with another member of his staff that was equally knowledgeable about my case. Castellanos & Associates were professional yet sensitive to the emotions surrounding my divorce. I am thankful to Edwin and his team and appreciate their work, and will certainly recommend his legal services without reservation.

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

Horrible service. Felt like he was on my husbands side the whole time. Wasted $5000 on nothing. I had to keep calling to see what was happening with my case. Could not confine in him. Charged me for ridiculous work, calls and emails. I ended up going back with my husband and stopped the divorce/case. I suggest a real lawyer. My husbands, Gille Kaye Law Group, PC . Pasadena CA. Great people nice and actually wanna do the work and help. They even gave back my husband his half deposit back $2,700. Unlike these people rip off, there only in it for the money.

We had multiple cases to face while Michael was representing me, and we literally won all of them. He maintained good communication an always worked with me when it came to money. Not once did he stress me about paying him etc. He fought for my daughter and I, and I could not thank him enough. It was a very stressful situation for many reasons, and having Michael represent me made me feel at ease, ESPECIALLY after the first hearing and seeing how well he prepped etc. We went up against a “high rated” attorney etc with a great amount of experience, and it looked like Michael was the one with decades of experience and confidence. I highly recommend Michael! Thank you all from Michael to his amazing office staff! This year battle has finally concluded because of a job well done!

Michael and his team are exemplary professionals. Michael listens intently to his client's needs, and acts with compassion and sincerity. Michael delivers practical, no-nonsense advice. He is very good at what he does, and has a great team around him. They will take care of you.

I cannot speak highly enough of Whitmarsh Family Law. Michael has continuously gone above and beyond to provide the best service for me. When I first retained Michael as my attorney I was in a really tough spot and needed some legal help on an extremely tight timeline. He was able to make time for me right away and I was in his office preparing paperwork and within a couple hours of contacting him. He continued to work on my case well into the evening to make sure that everything was done correctly and ready to be filed with the court in the morning. He walked me through the process step by step and made sure I understood and was comfortable with each decision. He has continued to provide this level of service for almost 2 years now as my case continues to progress. He promptly responds to any emails or calls and is very good about checking in with me from time to time to make sure I don’t have any questions or need anything. From his work it is obvious the amount of care and attention he puts into everything he does. I have been impressed with his skills when arguing in court, his writing skills, and his overall ability to see the big picture of a case and formulate a long term strategy that best serves me. He spent several long days in the courtroom with me on my case and having him arguing my side made me feel comfortable and certain that I was going to get the best possible result.

I needed help with my custody case and found Michael Whitmarsh after a long list of searches. I went for a consult and asked as much questions about his experience and history with similar cases. I found Michael to be very knowledgeable and professional. Michael has been very helpful with my case year after year.

Immediately, I was able to speak about my case with Mr. Eads and he advised me as what steps would be next. He was professional and friendly. He is very responsive, and will even get back to you within the same day of your call or email. I think it is amazing that you are actually able to talk to him and not his assistant/paralegal. He is truly there to help you, and not just out for the money like so many other family lawyers out there!

Paul and his whole staff are very easy to work with! You literally do not have to worry about anything- they take care of it all in a timely manner. They are responsive which is a major plus and have made the process so simple and stress free! I would highly recommend.

The first time I called the office I was pleasantly surprised to speak directly with Paul. I had called in right before closing and he answered and answered all my questions. He was very professional and advised me of all my options on how to move forward with my case. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for legal advice.

Paul Eads is an Attorney that serves with excellency. Himself and his team are very professional, well mannered, and sharply educated. While he was on my case and matters, everything was handled timely and thoroughly. Because of his professionalism and demeanor, I became aware that he was well regarded with Minors Council and the Judge. For these reasons, among several others, I’d highly recommend hiring Attorney Paul Eads to handle your case.

His main focus is helping his clients, he is very knowledgeable about family law and how dispute and resolve all your questions. I am grateful for his services and expertise. His staff is wonderful as well, very friendly and quick at getting back to their clients. I walked out with a clear mind knowing he was taking care of things for me

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.

I was referred to Maya's firm by a friend and am very grateful for it. Maya represented me in a custody situation with my ex-husband. She and her staff did an excellent job and were both understanding and responsive to my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Maya to anyone needing counsel in a family law case. I hope to not need this type of representation in the future, but in the event that I do, I would definitely use Maya's firm again. Jennifer and Gigi in her office were wonderful to deal with also.

I had a great phone consultation with Maya where I went over the details of a post nuptial agreement I needed her services on. She gave me her fee over the phone and I told her I would get back to her as soon as my husband's lawyer had the agreement ready. Cut to 2 months later, I called Maya back to engage her services and it was like I was speaking to a completely different person. Unfortunately, she hadn't taken any notes during our initial consultation and couldn't recall most of what we had discussed. When I started to remind her of our conversation she proceeded to gaslight me in the most condescending rude manor. When you're hiring a lawyer for support on sensitive personal matters, and it's going to cost you a lot of money, the last thing anyone needs is a talking down to. I'm glad Maya showed me her true colors and I was able to save myself the headache of working with her. -- Response from the owner "Dear Ms. Benitez, thank you for taking the time to post. It is unfortunate that you spend your time engaging in this type of rhetoric rather than focusing on your family. I wish you the best." I spent my time writing this review to help others. Your response perfectly illustrates the condescending treatment I got from you on the phone. Thank you for proving my point.

I have been professionally associated with Maya Shulman for nearly 20 years, and I have worked directly in consultation with many of her clients. I have always found her to be a consummate professional who takes her clients' needs seriously. She is a straight-shooter, and that might be off-putting to clients who think an attorney is supposed to be a hand-holder. Her clients (with whom I have consulted) have always felt she knew the law and gave them the best representation possible. Being that she is a Certified Family Law Specialist, her clients are involved in a divorce proceeding and/or custody battle. These are highly contentious and stress-provoking processes, and clients who are unhappy tend to blame their attorney. Bad reviews (sour grapes) are damaging not only for the recipient but also for the reviewer who has no ability to take responsibility for their role in the process. I would hire Maya Shulman and her law firm above any family law specialists I have ever consulted with, and there have been many over the years. Roxane Lipton, LMFT Studio City, CA

I don't typically write out reviews but I honestly have been so pleased with Maya and her firm. I've had a case that's frustrated me for years! I was in constant stress. It only took one virtual meeting with Maya to have me feeling at ease. She really knows how to bring clarity to difficult situations and provide simple agenda throughout each stage of the process. This is just one way I wanted to thank Maya for all her hard work - so again, thank you Maya! Your help has truly brought simplicity back into my life after divorce.

I honestly am so thankful that I decided to team up with Maya and her firm, I've worked with other attorneys but they do not compare to the care and the hustle that Maya has. She begins working on day one and goes through all the details of your case that you probably weren't thinking about. Her thoroughness kept me confident I was in the right hands! She told me exactly what I needed to hear and executed exactly as she said she would. And when the other side fought back, Maya came with strategy! She knows what she's doing! I would recommend Maya and her family law team in a heart beat. Thank you Maya for your continuous assistance!

    I was referred to Maya's firm by a friend and am very grateful for it. Maya represented me in a custody situation with my ex-husband. She and her staff did an excellent job and were both understanding and responsive to my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Maya to anyone needing counsel in a family law case. I hope to not need this type of representation in the future, but in the event that I do, I would definitely use Maya's firm again. Jennifer and Gigi in her office were wonderful to deal with also.

    I had a great phone consultation with Maya where I went over the details of a post nuptial agreement I needed her services on. She gave me her fee over the phone and I told her I would get back to her as soon as my husband's lawyer had the agreement ready. Cut to 2 months later, I called Maya back to engage her services and it was like I was speaking to a completely different person. Unfortunately, she hadn't taken any notes during our initial consultation and couldn't recall most of what we had discussed. When I started to remind her of our conversation she proceeded to gaslight me in the most condescending rude manor. When you're hiring a lawyer for support on sensitive personal matters, and it's going to cost you a lot of money, the last thing anyone needs is a talking down to. I'm glad Maya showed me her true colors and I was able to save myself the headache of working with her. -- Response from the owner "Dear Ms. Benitez, thank you for taking the time to post. It is unfortunate that you spend your time engaging in this type of rhetoric rather than focusing on your family. I wish you the best." I spent my time writing this review to help others. Your response perfectly illustrates the condescending treatment I got from you on the phone. Thank you for proving my point.

    I have been professionally associated with Maya Shulman for nearly 20 years, and I have worked directly in consultation with many of her clients. I have always found her to be a consummate professional who takes her clients' needs seriously. She is a straight-shooter, and that might be off-putting to clients who think an attorney is supposed to be a hand-holder. Her clients (with whom I have consulted) have always felt she knew the law and gave them the best representation possible. Being that she is a Certified Family Law Specialist, her clients are involved in a divorce proceeding and/or custody battle. These are highly contentious and stress-provoking processes, and clients who are unhappy tend to blame their attorney. Bad reviews (sour grapes) are damaging not only for the recipient but also for the reviewer who has no ability to take responsibility for their role in the process. I would hire Maya Shulman and her law firm above any family law specialists I have ever consulted with, and there have been many over the years. Roxane Lipton, LMFT Studio City, CA

    I don't typically write out reviews but I honestly have been so pleased with Maya and her firm. I've had a case that's frustrated me for years! I was in constant stress. It only took one virtual meeting with Maya to have me feeling at ease. She really knows how to bring clarity to difficult situations and provide simple agenda throughout each stage of the process. This is just one way I wanted to thank Maya for all her hard work - so again, thank you Maya! Your help has truly brought simplicity back into my life after divorce.

    I honestly am so thankful that I decided to team up with Maya and her firm, I've worked with other attorneys but they do not compare to the care and the hustle that Maya has. She begins working on day one and goes through all the details of your case that you probably weren't thinking about. Her thoroughness kept me confident I was in the right hands! She told me exactly what I needed to hear and executed exactly as she said she would. And when the other side fought back, Maya came with strategy! She knows what she's doing! I would recommend Maya and her family law team in a heart beat. Thank you Maya for your continuous assistance!
