I should have done this a long time ago! But i hired this man when his office was in Brea, the first time we spoke he offered to represent me in my divorce with only a 2500 retainer which turned into 5000 when it came down to it and not much was done because my wife and i decided to reconcile which he strongly apposed and tried to talk me out of it and was pretty upset when i didn't take his advice. So when it came down to reimbursement oh boy that was a nightmare he would not take my calls his secretary would just tell me he's on vacation and mock me by telling me that she will et him know you called and will document and file our conversation which everyone knows it just means that she is gonna im gonna be billed an hour for every call i made. Sure enough i only recieved a couple hundred from the 5000 didnt get divorce he only made on short court appearance and 1 meeting with my wife and i.

He called me representing my ex husband and told me that I was irrational. He hung up the phone on me after getting frustrated. I think he thought because I was representing my self that he could step all over me and that I didn't know my rights. He was mistaken. Before he could contact me he actually called one of my family member to inform them of my legal information and case which entirely violates my 4the amendment. Now he will not answer any of my calls or emails.

So helpful!

Over the last 7 years I have had the pleasure of working with Cottle Keen Lopiccolo & Heyde. I have worked closely with Dana and Julie on many different matters. The reason I keep engaging with this law firm is because they are well informed about business matters, they respond quickly to my inquiries, and are a great resource when it comes to my business. They also have a group of trusted referrals who practice different types of law and other vendors that they generously share with me when needed.

I've worked at this office for 8 months as a Legal Assistant and had an amazing experience! The attorneys at this firm are passionate about their careers and care about all their clients. I have learned so much from them and couldn't recommend them enough!

Julie was fantastic. I couldn't be happier with my end results. I highly recommend this law firm. They're very professional and they do what they say they're going to do.

While being a defendant is never welcome, Dana made the experience as comfortable as I think it could have been. She was knowledgeable about the law, paid excellent attention to my needs, and was open and responsive with communication.

Hired these 2 for a family trust lawsuit for my deceased grandfather and they came to arbitration and mediation negotiations very unprepared and ultimately led to my family losing the case. My family and I spent tens of thousands of dollars on Dana and Julie for a very disappointing effort by them. I would not recommend them.

Money hungry lawyers! Start you of by saying they can do this or that for your case and only need 5k to start BUT then every month after they ask you for 3k to be on the 4K retainer so since I was already 5k in I continued this until I was down over 15k and NOTHING was done! And if you don’t have the money they dgaf they simply say sorry we’re going to have to step down since you aren’t able to make payments... please be careful here don’t let them play you like they did me.

Mark and Kelly are professional and take the time with each client that is needed. Both are emphatic listeners but really know the law to protect the best interest of their clients. They are a power couple that work together as a great team. When I first met them both I felt immediately comfortable as they shared their diverse backgrounds in their journey to become both lawyers to protect and support individuals in need. I highly recommend anyone that is contemplating divorce or wanted to discuss adoption or ways to protect the family, to pick up the phone and call. It is always better to be proactive and educated than reactive.

Kelly and Mark Irwin are personable, very articulate in divorce and family law. One thing I love about them is Mark is an ex law enforcement officer. To all women who are in a domestic violence relationship, get Mark to be your divorce attorney. You will always feel safe! Kelly is such a caring attorney, she truly cares about each and every case. Talk to them please.

Great service from a firm that handles matters professionally and with great care!

Irwin and Irwin is a highly professional, ethical, knowledgeable, and compassionate law firm. When I first walked through the door, I was greeted by caring and professional staff. I knew I was not happy in my marriage and I needed to dissolve this relationship. Mark and Kelly guided me and answered all my questions. The excellent service of Mark and Kelly have helped me to gain my life back. I am involved in a very complicated divorce which has encompassed every aspect of family law from domestic violence to minor's counsel. Mark and Kelly have guided me every step of the way. Kelly does an excellent job of aggressively litigating and preparing for court hearings. She is very organized and thorough and has excellent communication and negotiation skills. She has done a superb job of fighting for my needs and the needs of my children. I have been very pleased with the support and help that I have been given during this process. I have been very fortunate that Mark and Kelly asked for and were granted a no contact domestic violence order. They were looking out for my safety and the best interest of myself and my children. This has been a blessing as it has brought peace into our home and provides us with an opportunity to heal from all the abuse that we have been through. Peace is priceless and I am thankful every day for this gift that we have been given. The staff at Irwin and Irwin and the attorneys complement each other and are a cohesive team. The firm is very efficient and ethical. They do an excellent job of communicating and making sure that I have and understand all the court orders. I have learned from other offices, who needed court orders or other information, that Irwin and Irwin is easy to work with. Although my divorce is not finalized, I am very appreciative of the help and support that I continue to receive from the law firm of Irwin and Irwin. They are a fabulous team and I would highly recommend them.

Indu and Bianca (paralegal) were amazing, attentive, and professional. Going through child custody can be hard but they made it easier and I was very confident going into the courtroom. My questions were always answered In a timely manner. I highly recommend

Really helpful with all questions. The process took a little longer than expected but Indu and her staff were very knowledgeable about the paperwork and the process for my case. Even though they did a lot extra work with phone calls and emails, their pricing was very reasonable. I also worked with Indu and her staff remotely (never met her in person since I live in the Bay) but her and her staff still took care of me and got everything taken care of. Highly recommend.

Indu handled my daughter's divorce from her philandering attorney husband. She was excellent. Patient, knowledgeable, compassionate with a high degree of integrity and always accessible; 5 stars.

Indu’s law office helped me with. Dismissal of a faulsly accused domestic charge. And there after. They got me full physical, and legal custody of my 2 boys. A plus service, law practice and professionalism. Highly recommend there services.

Ms. Indu is not only an excellent lawyer, but also goes above and beyond for what is needed to help her clients, she always makes sure that the interest of the client is in the forefront. Not only did she help me get the best arrangement in my case, she also guided me through other legal matters by recommending the best possible help. Even when she was on vacation, she communicated personally with me and was able to advise me on my matter and made sure her staff was aware of and communicated everything with me. Ms. Srivastav's mindset resonates down to her staff who works with her. Her paralegal/legal Secretary, Sonia Lepe is easy to work with and keeps you informed every step of the way. On one occasion, because I could not make it to their office till 5pm due to work, Sonia stayed behind while missing an important personal appointment to get my rebuttal in to the opposing counsel without any hesitation. I cannot thank them enough for all the help and personal effort they have put in towards my case. If anyone ever needs family law services I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Indu Srivastav.

I've known Jordan Nefulda for many years and can vouch that he is an honest and very competent attorney. He only focuses on Family Law matters so he is an expert in his field. He handles divorce, child custody, pre-nup agreements and spousal support. Highly recommended!

I was going through a difficult time with my separation and didn’t know how to handle the situation. I was referred to Mr. Razai and was told that he is a really good legal representative and that I will be in good hands. That is certainly the case. Mr. Razai is to the point and didn’t waste time. We went over what I wanted to accomplish and he went over the options on how to achieve my goals. He made sure to know all of the facts as my particular situation was somewhat complicated. He helped make sure all the T’s were crossed and I’s were dotted to make sure the process was handled efficiently. Nothing was sugarcoated and Mr. Razai always told me the reality of the situation, which I found really commendable. Mr. Razai exceeded my expectations throughout the process and was able to achieve what I wanted to. From his professional demeanor in court, to his ability to console and make his clients feel comfortable through difficult times, I recommend Mr. Razai and his team to anyone who needs exceptional legal services and wants results.

Very positive. I felt I was always fully informed and was able to make the best decisions because I had been provided all my legal options. Shakeb was able to negotiate a much better out come of my divorce that I had expected. His office personnel are always friendly and they always answered questions, returned phone calls, and answered emails promptly.

I only have great things to say about Shakeb Razai. A divorce is so difficult but Mr. Razai handled every detail and question promptly and expertly. I highly recommend him and can't say enough good things.

Jordan Nefulda is an excellent attorney in the area of family practice and divorce. He constantly made me aware of what to expect in each phase of the proceedings. In fact, on several occasions he anticipated actions from the other attorney so we were prepared in advance. While these matters are highly emotional, Jordan was always level headed and when I would become upset, he was always able to get me thinking with my head and not letting emotions take over. He was always professional even when opposing counsel wasn't. He also didn't nickel and dime me for every phone call or question I had. I felt he was extremely fair with his billing and i never had any concerns regarding that aspect. He was always willing to tell me the good, the bad and the ugly. While I hope to never need his services again, I would recommend him highly and absolutely use him again of the situation arose.

Simon helped me so much with my restraining order. I felt confident that him and his team would take care of proofing all of my paperwork and submitting all of the necessary documents. We only had a week before my court hearing and the team worked closely with me to figure out everything I needed and clearly and effectively organize a timeline of all of the events that had accrued throughout my case. So much weight was taken off of my shoulders and Simon saved me time, heartache, and money with his solution to my problem. Thank you so much!

Simon was amazing..... He listens and he genuinely cares. As you know, the client is the one who cares more about their family law issue than anyone else.... with Simon, I truly felt he cared about my family law issue as much as me. After he listened to me, I mean REALLY listened, which was his natural way of being, he was able to guide me, strategize and execute in such an expert, thoughtful and very effective way. It literally but my nerves at rest. I felt empowered from a life long struggle I always felt defeated by. I can't tell you how grateful I am.. I highly recommend him.. He should be one of the top attorneys you consider and interview. You will decide who is best for you.. And Simon probably is the one.

SIMON is AMAZING! He is a fearless, confident, award-winning attorney who has over 10 years of experience and it shows. SIMON is like Batman. He wears a suit and fights crime. I could not have won my RO case without him. I was hoping to get at least the minimum amount of years but SIMON made it possible to get the max! He knew my case inside and out. Even when the judge would throw him curveballs, he would knock it out of the park. I was very impressed with his outstanding professionalism and honesty about the entire process. SIMON gave me the strength I needed to finally stand up for myself and get my life back. I highly recommend Core Law Group. I could really feel that his whole team cared about me and my safety. Worth every penny!

Simon is a perfect textbook lawyer minus the family (human element), a trait very much required for family law cases. In case you want to just win momentarily at any cost and want to have a sense of gratification that u destroyed your ex in a family law case, he is the lawyer to be. Remember though, u will repent later for the bridge this law firm will build between you two. He is a lawyer known for making divorce nasty. I say this through 2 experiences which makes me write about this law firm, one a family member and another a female colleague. This law firm worked exactly the same in both cases. So here is the modulus operandi. The trap- Especially applicable for women's, when u approach this law firm, you will find everyone is so supportive to your situation and even u tell them u also made a mistake u will be brain-washed in believing that u were actually abused and he needs to pay for it and if u dont do that than he can do this or that.... U will be made to believe that u experienced the worst abuse of all time and this law firm will make sure to get u the most out of divorce at any cost. At the end, u will realize they did nothing but took double of your money than other lawyers and u gained nothing but your vindictive approach towards ur ex made u lose in longer run. That day of intake was a bait and the complimentary consultation provided was a hook. The modulus operandi- U will be made to believe that they are giving u discount where in their itemized bill you will find they did not charge u for a phone call, email or inside consultations with other lawyers. By seeing so many waivers u will feel obliged however u will never realize that the total paid after everything is over will be atleast twice or thrice of what a nominal family law case would have otherwise costed. They will drag you in making unnecessary discovery extracting thrice the fees what they pay to their paralegal.. and what you would have paid outside. Discovery will expose urs and ur ex net worth so that this law firm can see how much you can be milked. Unless you realize that your case is mostly handled by junior lawyers who are guided by one and only Simon. Since there are many lawyers to be paid, u atleast pay twice or thrice than a decent attorney office of one or two. Once they see there is nothing left to be milked, they will try to seek a settlement to be over by your case sooner. No stones unturned- The law firm will fight for you tooth and nail making lies the truth and truth the lies. You will be groomed on what to say to Judge and what the lawyer will ask you before the judge and what you should answer for that. After the stage is all set, you will be confident about your win without caring for truth you are hiding and lies you are saying. To pressurize your ex, the law firm will make subpoenas left and right, request documentation, ask the nastiest questions and file unnecessary paperwork in court which will do nothing in your favor but delay the judgement due to chaos. Finally- Ur bills will be running double than your ex, and divorce will still be years apart. You will only realize 5 yrs later that you got blinded into a unscrupulous money hungry law firm. The verdict - If you dont have kids & the intent is to make a divorce or any family law matter highly conflicting, this is the law firm for u else please avoid at any cost and find a family law lawyer who understands the dynamics of family.

I needed a lawyer for professional services, so I reached out to Simon and Core Law Group. Wow, I could not be happier with my decision! Everyone on the team is friendly and professional, and every question I had was answered promptly. What sets Simon apart from other attorneys is how caring he is. You're not just getting legal services, but he also legitimately treats you like a friend. I have no doubt that the courtesy and great service I got from Simon is the same he provides to his closest friends and family. Trust me, that's not an exaggeration. If I need something, I can shoot him a text, and have a response within minutes. There's a reason all of his clients love him! Simon goes above and beyond to work for you. Next time I need any sort of legal services, I am reaching out to the Core Law Group team immediately!

    Simon helped me so much with my restraining order. I felt confident that him and his team would take care of proofing all of my paperwork and submitting all of the necessary documents. We only had a week before my court hearing and the team worked closely with me to figure out everything I needed and clearly and effectively organize a timeline of all of the events that had accrued throughout my case. So much weight was taken off of my shoulders and Simon saved me time, heartache, and money with his solution to my problem. Thank you so much!

    Simon was amazing..... He listens and he genuinely cares. As you know, the client is the one who cares more about their family law issue than anyone else.... with Simon, I truly felt he cared about my family law issue as much as me. After he listened to me, I mean REALLY listened, which was his natural way of being, he was able to guide me, strategize and execute in such an expert, thoughtful and very effective way. It literally but my nerves at rest. I felt empowered from a life long struggle I always felt defeated by. I can't tell you how grateful I am.. I highly recommend him.. He should be one of the top attorneys you consider and interview. You will decide who is best for you.. And Simon probably is the one.

    SIMON is AMAZING! He is a fearless, confident, award-winning attorney who has over 10 years of experience and it shows. SIMON is like Batman. He wears a suit and fights crime. I could not have won my RO case without him. I was hoping to get at least the minimum amount of years but SIMON made it possible to get the max! He knew my case inside and out. Even when the judge would throw him curveballs, he would knock it out of the park. I was very impressed with his outstanding professionalism and honesty about the entire process. SIMON gave me the strength I needed to finally stand up for myself and get my life back. I highly recommend Core Law Group. I could really feel that his whole team cared about me and my safety. Worth every penny!

After months of trying to find the right legal counsel that I could trust, I was graciously referred to Sean Yanez by a dear friend who highly recommended him and his firm. As a true skeptical person, I was a little apprehensive to speak with yet another "fast talking" attorney who wanted me to pay upfront for a consultation that may or may not answer my legal concerns, but to my pleasant surprise I found that Sean Yanez was the real deal with a heart. He not only gave me extremely valuable advice through his free consultation, but took the time to follow up right away with strategies I could apply to my legal matter right away. Also, instead of upselling me on his legal services, he was honest and straight-forward with giving me his recommendation without trying to take my money. He took the time to learn about my case before speaking with me and never had me repeat any information I already shared with his firm, he spoke to me with compassion and interest in my legal matter, and was extremely helpful at a time when all I had been used to was the exact opposite. Off the bat, Sean was sincere and full of knowledge that he shared openly without coming across as condescending or forceful. He was a breath of fresh air to speak with and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that they can trust. I would have never found Sean through reviews due to my past experiences, but I'm so glad that he was recommended to me by a friend. Please believe me when I say that you can trust Sean and his firm to handle your family law matters. They are timely, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and most importantly they treat people with compassion, dignity and respect without overcharging and under delivering --qualities that can be so difficult to find in attorneys. You will not be disappointed.

A little of our story, My Husband and I hired on Mr Yanez & Associates to help us with a move away case from CA to CO for my step son who had primarily lived with us since he was 5 yrs old (he’s 11 now). His birth mother believed that with us moving away she should now have her turn in raising him and attempted to change the custody agreement. We were worried we’d lose the case and our son would have to stay behind and not be able to continue to grow up with his brothers since “courts tend to sway with the biological mothers” or so they say. My husband and I were fortunate enough to have had met with Sean in person a few years prior and were able to get a feel for how we’d hope he’d handle our case. And thankfully we were right. Even with all the Covid 19 obstacles he did not falter. We wanted someone who would listen to our concerns, someone who would answer our questions (and trust me we had a lot!) but not just with what we wanted to hear but with facts, with honesty and sincerity even if it wasn’t the answer we wanted. We wanted someone who knew the ins and outs of the court system and how it all worked and would give us their honest opinion. He was always was a step and ahead and very strategic. He gave us play by play and being in a situation where the end result could possibly be loosing your child, having someone like Sean who was literally there fighting with us made all the difference. Mr Yanez & Associates were always extremely timely with getting back to us quickly, we never felt out of the loop, we never felt as if we were in limbo waiting on responses or answers or what our next step should be. Their professionalism and knowledge in my opinion is bar none. The end result is we now live in CO with my stepson, and thanks to Mr. Yanez & Associates, my husband and I can continue to watch our boys grow up together. If you’re looking for an attorney for your case. Look no further!! Sincerely, a Wife & Boy Mom of 3

Absolutely remarkable family attorneys. Yanez and his team are extremely knowledgeable and give great advice. They know family law! I spent days seeking family law firms before making a decision. This firm was able to help me. Thanks to Mr. Yanez, I'll be able to be spend more time with my son again. If you're looking for a family law attorney for Irvine or the general Orange County area who cares, who's reasonably priced and knows what he's doing, this law firm without a doubt is a must consult with. I highly recommend them.

Our encounter with attorney Bettina was incredible. She walked us through the divorce process and allowed us to better understand the complexity of going through a divorce. I can honestly say that Mrs. Yanez and her Associates helped release my stress and allowed me to be able to sleep comfortably without worrying, she was phenomenal. Thank you again. I will recommend you and your team to my family and friends.

She is the worst Attorney ever. I do not have much money at the time so I rely on the court to assign me, then I got her for my custody case. She listen to my ex who also used to be a attorney at law. Then they all pull my daughter away from me even though I am the only raise my daughter up without any child support. At that time, my daughter was 8, now she is 15 and want to commit a suicide

The Law Offices of Dorie Rogers were all wonderful, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable professionals. We found Dorie and her amazing team after having dealt with an extremely difficult situation for over a year and a half. Ms Rogers was able to quickly execute an effective strategy following the law and taking the best interest of the child into account. We would highly recommend her and her team of professionals.

From the moment I met Dorie in consultation, to the final completion of my divorce, I knew I had someone who absolutely understood my situation and had the experience and confidence to help me during a process that was totally unfamiliar to me. Dorie and Lisa as a team were the best combination of talents that anyone could ever find. Both ladies were professional, knowledgeable and efficient during every step of the entire process, no matter how small or large the task at hand. I was always treated with respect and kindness, and at the same time knew both ladies would do whatever was needed to ensure a fair settlement in a process that can often go awry. The resources of help these ladies have access to is expansive, and we used outside expertise as needed. This is the most trustworthy, respectable, efficient and understanding team including all administrative staff, and to be met every time with a smile was the added bonus you cannot pay for. Any financial investment in a solid team like this is worth more than words, it is truly peace of mind.

Dorie is an amazing lawyer and a great person. She truly cares about her clients and is the lawyer you want in your corner in difficult times.

Dorie Rogers was referred to us in a very interesting way: A friend did not actually refer her own attorney, but instead, she referred Dorie, who represented her ex-husband! We are very grateful for Dorie and her team. Angela was always an email or phone call away and kept us very organized. Lisa was the attorney assigned to my mother's case. She was wonderful! We felt very confident throughout the entire process that Lisa knew exactly how to handle every situation. Before Lisa, communication was not very good with the opposing side. There was a lot of tension and disagreements. Lisa was able to work extremely well with all the personalities and ultimately lead the group by creating a firm & fair environment - resulting to productive negotiations. We appreciated Lisa and Angela for always considering our costs and recommending fee-conscious solutions for the best return. I closely supported my mom through the entire process & we were so glad to have such a strong team on our side.

Dorie A. Rogers has an amazing team, which includes attorney Lisa McCall, Carol, Angela, Theresa, and many more. My attorney, Lisa McCall, was meticulous to detail and extremely organized. Everyone was knowledgeable to the status of my case, and I was always kept up to date. They were prompt in returning my phone calls and emails. I truly appreciate Dorie and Lisa's professional guidance throughout this whole process.

Dependable, Trustworthy, Aggressive, Professional!!! My husband and I were in need of a more dependable lawyer for a custody/visitation battle for our son. Our originally hired lawyer was impossible to get in touch with, wouldn't return emails or voicemails for days, cancelled meetings with us and provided a paralegal instead, and showed up only five minutes before our ex parte child custody hearing when we were understandably nervous and stressed. Our experience with Tracey has been the exact opposite. During the initial consultation she immediately put us at ease and gained our confidence. She obtained all possible information from us in regards to the case and reviewed all of the documentation from our previous hearing and resulting stipulation. In less than a week she accomplished more, provided us with additional options and strategies, and made us feel better prepared for such an important and life-altering hearing as the custody and visitation with our son than our previous lawyer did in two months. She punctually arrived at court the day of the hearing dressed professionally and met us in the parking lot to brief us and accompany us in to the courthouse. This went a long way towards calming our nerves and giving us the confidence to face the opposing counsel. She situated us comfortably and then checked in with the bailiff for us. She then chauffeured us in to the gallery ahead of everyone else that was checking in affording us the time to regroup and center before our case was called. She kept us well informed throughout the day and met with opposing counsel to negotiate possibly the best visitation, custody, and move away orders achievable. We are beyond thrilled with the outcome of the hearing and now have additional time with our son that is firm and precise down to the day and hour leaving nothing open to misinterpretation. Tracey even procured for us additional visitation and technological (Skype, Facetime etc.) communication orders so that we can be confident that when we move out of state (active duty military family that is transferring across the country) my husband, myself, and our son and daughters will have solid, ongoing communication with their brother that is so important for siblings and was not previously being accomplished due to parental alienation issues. Tracey was an absolute godsend and followed up with us after the hearing to make sure we were satisfied with the services she provided. Custody and visitation matters are highly stressful and full of emotion. Being an active duty military family we felt at a severe disadvantage in the family law system since most of our family, friends, and support base live in an entirely different state. It is a forlorn experience to show up at court with just your husband when our son's mother had an entire entourage to display. With Tracey, we felt like we finally had someone on our side to be our voice and fight for our rights and our sons right to have a relationship with his father, myself, and his siblings. I would recommend her to anyone going through the heartbreaking and earth shattering struggle of a visitation and custody battle or fighting to be in the life of their child. She was unparalleled in her professionalism, aggressive in fighting for our rights, and compassionate and empathetic to our situation. We will forever be grateful to her and are so fortunate to have had her represent us.

Tracey even procured for us additional visitation and technological (Skype, Facetime etc.) communication orders so that we can be confident that when we move out of state (active duty military family that is transferring across the country) my husband, myself, and our son and daughters will have solid, ongoing communication with their brother that is so important for siblings and was not previously being accomplished due to parental alienation issues. Tracey was an absolute godsend and followed up with us after the hearing to make sure we were satisfied with the services she provided. Custody and visitation matters are highly stressful and full of emotion. Being an active duty military family we felt at a severe disadvantage in the family law system since most of our family, friends, and support base live in an entirely different state. It is a forlorn experience to show up at court with just your husband when our son's mother had an entire entourage to display. With Tracey, we felt like we finally had someone on our side to be our voice and fight for our rights and our sons right to have a relationship with his father, myself, and his siblings. I would recommend her to anyone going through the heartbreaking and earth shattering struggle of a visitation and custody battle or fighting to be in the life of their child. She was unparalleled in her professionalism, aggressive in fighting for our rights, and compassionate and empathetic to our situation. We will forever be grateful to her and are so fortunate to have had her represent us.

I was referred to Mr. Sarieh by one of his former clients when I had realized how poor my representation was with my first attorney. My case was complicated and involved two Interspousal Transfer Grant Deeds for my separate property that my ex was contesting. Whereas my first attorney told me simply that the property issues were complicated, would make my case difficult, and encouraged me to settle, Mr. Sarieh was able to explain case law (that he was involved in no less) that supported my case and assured me that he could successfully take on my case. He did just that and more. Through several court delays and circumstances created by the pandemic, Mr. Sarieh remained steadfast in working on my case. His selection of forensic accountant, Greg Raffaele from CROSSCOR Valuations & Forensics Inc., was exactly what was needed to prove my case in court. The court agreed that all of the documentation we had supported my separate property as being just that. The court also agreed with our vocational evaluation and imputed an appropriate income on my ex-husband who had been hiding his income in order to collect an exorbitant amount of spousal and child support from me. I am more than ecstatic with the outcome. Through Mr. Sarieh's skills, the court ordered reimbursement for overpayment of spousal support retroactive to last March. Mr. Sarieh has my utmost respect as an attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a contentious divorce. He takes pride in what he does, which is obvious in his demeanor in court and in the work he produces. I have no regrets about choosing Mr. Sarieh for my legal representation.

We retained Wail Sarieh to help us out with what had been a contentious, incredibly confusing, and emotionally draining two-year long divorce process for my elderly father. Our situation was unique in that our father and his wife both suffered from dementia and were not active participants in the process. We had been working with another attorney for almost two years but there had not been any movement in our father’s case for a long period of time. Negotiations had stalled because there was a lack of communication from the other side, and both sides were struggling to divide properties and assets accumulated during and before their marriage. We needed to find an attorney that could pick up the pieces and get the ball moving in this divorce case so our father could enjoy his remaining years. We found that and more in Wail and his staff. Wail was invaluable in helping us get to a very fair settlement in very little time. Wail is incredibly intelligent, professional, driven, and tough when the situation calls for it. He is well-versed in the law and familiar with the judges, attorneys, and courts in the Southern CA area. You cannot help but think you are in good hands with Wail as he exudes confidence, and this allowed us to relax a little for the first time in months. During our first meeting with Wail, he was able to tell us things about our case and showed us invaluable documents that our other attorney had not presented in the two previous years. I wish we would have started working with Wail from day one as we would have saved a lot of time, money, and frustration. Also, I do not think you could find a better advocate for your cause then Wail. He is truly that good. I cannot recommend Wail Sarieh and his staff enough.

Wail is an excellent family law attorney. He is very well-versed in the law and is great in the courtroom. He gives all of his clients the utmost attention and makes them feel comfortable from day one. Wail’s years of experience and assertive demeanor make him the perfect choice for a divorce attorney.

Not very helpful.

Choosing to hire attorney Wail Sarieh was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I have ever made. Prior to hiring him, I was in court for almost two years and had been denied multiple times the right to terminate my ex mother in laws visition with my children. Even with my children therapist testafing on how awful my ex mother in law treated my children the judge was not using the law to rule but his own personal opinion. He immediately went to work and strategized a plan that would put my case back on the right track. Wail dug deep and review every court hearing I had with my previous attorney who was ineffective and inexperienced in family law, Wail was able to pin pointing every mistake the courts had made by violating my constitution right as a parent. Wail put pressure on the court to terminate the court order right away and the judge apologized to us for overlooking the therapists testemony and violating my rights. Wail was the person I had been searching for after previous attorney turn my case down, Wail represent me and my family during this extremely stressful time. I highly recommend him!!!
