I came into the consultation very emotional, devastated, and desperate. Sogand was empathetic, warm, and also honest, which is what I really needed. She set my expectations to be realistic and in the end helped me see that what was most important was that I come out of this secure, safe, and happy. I am very happy with the legal advice and care I received. She was very clear in explaining to me what she thought the best course of action was, while ultimately leaving the choice to me. She is professional, knowledgeable and a force to be reckoned with in the court room. In the end she helped me achieve a generous settlement and divorce in under a year. And more importantly, though not my primary source of support, she helped to refocus me in times of emotion to look at what was most important for me and my future, helping me strip the anger away from my decisions. And that has helped me grow and heal. I would wholeheartedly recommend at least a consultation if you're looking for someone to fight for you and truly have your best interests in mind.

Zamani and Associates helped me with one of the most difficult things in my life, a child custody issue after I returned overseas. I think some lawyers were leery because it was international and had some complicated issues from strong cultural differences, overseas living complexity with many different countries, work conflict, attempts at restraining orders, diverse family relations and even psychological exams and home studies! I was facing a trial and an unknown chaos of what custody would look like in the midst of all of this. I was given an excellent attorney reference to them after struggling for weeks to find a good attorney. I also am myself an attorney. I read the reviews and was convinced, except they said “holistic,” which is normally is very positive. However, my friends and family recommended an “aggressive” attorney because of the difficulties I faced with my ex and inability to stop them. Zamani and Associates more than lived up to their reviews! I was explained my options clearly, which I thought were not possible. They recommended settlement immediate and indeed settled it quickly as they predicted. I went from a dreaded trial posture and an unlivable living arrangement with my children to obtaining an agreement with a livable arrangement without trial after settlement. What I liked best was their calm demeanor, attention to detail, attempts to follow the client’s wishes balanced with realism and courteous prompt responses from all in their office. Actually, I knew it was the right office when I first walked in and met their administrative assistant and other staff. They assist in relationship management, communications and helped me like no other in minimizing difficult interaction with my former partner at settlement meetings and according to my wishes. I valued their personal skills, contacts with other attorneys, and ability to work well with diverse family members. They were unphased by the international, cultural, complex procedural and family web. They always had a common “it can be solved” demeanor. With Zamani & Associates, I did not just engage strong legal minds, but I gained well connected, skilled attorneys familiar with DC courts. They are also effective as a firm on critical financial issues in my case. I previously experienced great time delays from other attorneys without receiving needed advice. The firm also handled billing professionally and reasonably. Their rates and billing process were clear, which was previously another big stressor. This really speaks to their integrity, ethical, and quality as a firm. Zamani and Associates brought relief to my children and family, and even the opposing party appears to be happy. My experience shows how positive a “holistic” approach can be and how important it is for family in conflict. My family circumstances may never be totally easy, but the tools that Zamani & Associates gave me, including books on communication and brushoffs from their constructive attitude, really helped my me and my family.

I had a great experience working with Alisa and Sogand. I knew that I was in great hands for my custody case from the first meeting: they were quick to get the facts, very knowledgeable about the law, experienced in DC courts and thoughtful in their strategy. They worked at my pace: always available but allowing me to reflect when I needed more time. They were supportive from beginning to end and helped me get through the most difficult time in my life. I highly recommend Zamani & Associates.

David did an amazing job handling my custody situation. It was a bit of an unusual case and involved an out of state family member. I initially approached an attorney in that state who did not handle the case very well. I then approached David who reviewed the previous work and presented me with some options based on his extensive knowledge of family law. He is very thorough in his approach and he determined what documentation would be necessary to make it straightforward to win our case. We followed that approach and were in and out of the courtroom in about 15 minutes - the judge quickly ruled in our favor. David always acted professionally and was great to work with. I highly recommend his firm.

Sheraz communicated clearly and timely regarding all the details of my case. He kept everything as simple and easy as it could be during a difficult time. The flat rate gave me peace of mind regarding the cost of his representation. I highly recommend.

After struggling to work my way through filing for a divorce on my own for quite some time, I reached out to Barkat Law Firm and received a response immediately. Mr. Barkat got all of the needed information to me the same day and explained the process so I was aware of every detail. My case was filed within an week and the whole process will be resolved within 3 weeks from the time I initially spoke Mr. Barkat. I only wish I had reached out sooner and saved myself a lot of headache! The price is more than reasonable for the convenience and peace of mind in knowing the process is being completed quickly and correctly.
