Called twice leaving a message and emailed through their website seeking an initial consultation. Never received a call back. Although she had come highly recommended it's certainly not professional to ignore a prospective client.

Ms. Mojaddidi and her staff are top notch professionals.  They are personable, professional, knowledgeable, efficient, highly competent and effective.  They go above and beyond and I trust them wholeheartedly. Ms. Mojaddidi does a phenomenal job at trial.  It is obvious she is passionate about not only justice for her clients but what is best for the children. If I could give 10 out of 10 stars, I would.

This firm represents what all attorney's should aspire to be ! Ms. Mojaddidi took the time to understand me and all the concerns and problems with my divorce case . She is very intelligent and knows how to play hardball with opposing counsel . Her support staff is professional , expeditious and very responsive . I am not sure I could have found a better Attorney in the Sacramento Area .

Divorce is such a stressful time in anyone's life. I can't even begin to quantify the ways in which Wazhma and her team made my life easier. They are by far one of the most communicative and responses teams you could ask for. In a time of uncertainty, they were able to provide clarity. My case went to trial but it was Washma's dedication, perspective, research and creativity that made all the difference in the outcome. I cannot thank her enough for her assistance, time, and effort. I wish Wazham's practice continued success and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any friends or family members looking for an experienced attorney.

Wazhma came in and cleaned up a very messy situation left by another lawyer. She was responsive and compassionate. She came highly recommended by multiple professionals. I wish that I listened to them earlier. Kudos to the entire office staff and especially Wazhma. Money well spent.

Julia made the complicated, understandable. The options, plentiful. The difficult, manageable. Her experience and resources have been invaluable. She and the ladies at Perkovich Law are professional, organized and a seamless team. One I am grateful to have advocating on my behalf.

I needed a family Court issue done fast in CA- Time was of the essence- The staff at The Perkovich Firm new exactly what i needed to do and guided me in the perfect direction. Thanks! If you ever need anything on the East Coast, I will gladly return the favor!

I cannot thank Julia and Perkovich Law Offices enough for their help guiding me through my divorce. Julia and the office staff are so organized and thorough that it helped alleviate some of my stress related to the process. Julia was always available for me, responded quickly with a phone call or email and geniunely seemed to care!! Very personal and professional is an accurate description of Julia. I would highly recommend her services. I felt like she really had my back, even during the sticky, tense situations. She always gracefully made suggestions and recommendations for me to consider which I appreciated.

Julia Perkovich helped me get through my divorce with both genuine compassion and professionalism. Going through the entire process is cumbersome, emotional, and frequently frustrating, but she made it more than bearable. Even when it was clear that certain laws are archaic and unfair, she did her best to mitigate their effects and make things as fair as possible. She always referred to all of us by name (and not just "my client" or "her attorney/counsel") which spoke volumes to me-we were human beings with real feelings that needed not just legal, but emotional support as well. She obviously cared as much or more about the individuals involved as the legal aspects of the case. She was professional when required and human when necessary. The ability to do that is invaluable. I would highly and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing family law services.

Nancy is a top-tier family law attorney who is also gifted with a focus and drive that is such a powerful combination when dealing with difficult issues related to family law. Her expertise and counsel are invaluable.

I will forever hold the utmost respect for Mark, Trich and Anna. They helped me in my custody case and went above and beyond. I always felt confident when speaking to any of them in the office. When I was in court and saw Mark I knew everything would be OK. They helped me win my custody case. If you want a lawyer that will fight for you for the right reasons this is the law firm for you. Thank you to everyone who has helped me! You will always be in my heart and my daughters.

I cannot say enough good things about Mark and Tanya except that I will be forever indebted to them for their hard work regarding my case. I have had an incredibly long and difficult custody battle and had pretty much given up hope that the family law judicial system would ever take into account the emotional well being of my daughter. However, with Mark's vast knowledge of the system and the law I came away with a contentment I never thought possible. Mark and Tanya supported me and guided me through the processes every step of the way and were able to help me get the best possible outcome for my situation. When first meeting Mark and Tanya their knowledge and confidence is incredibly evident and unquestionable, however, the compassion, support and genuine caring is what really sets their team apart. I would highly recommend them and couldn't imagine having a better team to represent me.

Tatyana has been great to work with. She truly cares, she's bright and good at what she does.

Mark did my high conflict divorce which was very difficult and time consuming. But pushed it along and finished it. Mark also took on my girlfriend divorce which was harder than mine and finished hers too. Great work by Mark, Shauna and Tanya.

They took good care of us here.

Christian Schank & Associates represented me during a very hard time in my life. Husband decided he didn't want the kids and I around anymore and that he felt he didn't need to be responsible for our wellbeing. That all changed when he had to stand in front of the judge. I'd like to say thanks for representing our best interests and helping us in our time of need.

I called for a consultation, and a salesman took my call. I asked for advice and to speak with attorney. $3,000 was my answer. I called later with $3,000 on hand, but was told... my "consultant" wasn't there so I couldn't speak to anyone until he came in hours later. I told them any reputable attorneys office could make me an appointment. The reply was... "sir there is a protocal in place, give me your number and your consultant will contact you". I hung up...I don't need a commission based salesman to close the deal. A reputable law office will make my appointment regardless of who answers the phone.

Thanks to this firm, I now have full custody of my children instead of their crazy mom. So grateful... Thanks guys!

I called in to see about hiring this firm, it turned out they didn't handle cases like mine. However, the person who took my call was so helpful I thought I'd leave this here. He kindly listened to my plight, and gave me websites and a few phone numbers I could use as resources to help.

I've had two previous experiences hiring a family law attorney. I was terrified to do it again, but had to. Glad I found this firm. I was quoted a fair price, and they held up their end of the deal. Very happy with the way things turned out.

I have had a great experience with this office. Kim Ma was an attorney I hired for my custody case and she was great. Originally when I scheduled a consultation, she listened to my concerns and overall situation and she honestly told me I did not have a case. I think that speaks volume of her integrity and professionalism. Too many attorneys out there are just after your money and will promise you an outcome that won’t be attained. Eventually my situation progressed and she assisted me with my case. I would definitely recommend Kim to anyone who is looking for an honest professional. Of course my hopes are to never need their services again but in case I do, I will be coming back! Thank you again.

Working with Juliana has been such a pleasure, from the very beginning she was very informative, supportive, and caring. She made the process of going through an emotional custody battle so easy. Juliana walked me through every step, but most importantly she made me feel like I had a friend in my corner. I appreciate everything that she helped me out with and without a hesitation would recommend her to anyone seeking custody advice. Thank you very much Juliana.

it is dificult to make an appointment and when you do they dont explain everything, very unprofessional julie west the attorney not a good recommended be careful you will waste your money in consultation for nothing i will give cero starts but count do it very sad for this

I have had to work with several attorneys over the last 2 years and I am absolutely blown away by Kim Ma. I believe she is absolutely an answer to prayer! We went through many of the scenarios imaginable with family court and yet Kim’s knowledge, expertise and professionalism was absolutely top notch the entire way through. Kim is wonderfully available and balances all her clients in a positive manner. She goes above and beyond for her clients. I absolutely can say without a hint of doubt that Kim brings honor to the legal system. She brings calm to a stressful situation and she truly pursues what is best for her clients. Kim works diligently to ensure she is being reasonable, honest, responsive and the best attorney she can for her clients. While I hope to rarely need an attorney, I pray her services are the only attorney I will be utilizing henceforth. I also want to add that it is amazing how well respected she is in the court room- the judges as well as court staff and other attorneys obviously think very highly of her. This again shows her respect and professionalism while still fighting for her clients best interests. She is truly very honorable and reliable. The office as well is extremely respectful and professional in all circumstances. I am so grateful to be working with Kim!

Kim Ma worked so hard on my family law case. I trusted her expertise and knew I always had the most capable person on my side. She is professional, easily accessible, and always prompt with responses to questions and concerns.

We are very pleased with Sarah Orr. She guided us through a very difficult guardianship issue for our grandsons. The issue took more than a year to unfold. She was there, on time, fully informed, and very friendly yet professional. Sarah helped us see the most important underlying issues, and she told us clearly when she thought we were off base or had unrealistic expectations. She was willing to do what we wanted, while providing relevant guidance on how the system works; something we knew nothing about. She spoke down to earth non legalese language , and helped us understand how and when to proceed , when to wait, when to fight, and when to settle. We are very pleased to recommend Sarah Orr. Christine and Herb Wimmer

My ex-husband found her online to serve as a mediator for our divorce. I wish we had gone with another attorney. Not only was she horrible as an attorney but she's unreliable and very openly rude. She told my husband at the time that I was out to get every penny I could out of my husband and she said this while I was present. She also kept telling us that she would have certain things ready by a certain date but never followed through on it. We ended up firing her half way through our meditation process because she said she didn't know when things were going to get done. This is the person who initially said she had a lot of time to handle our case right away but once we paid her a retainer, all of a sudden, she got super busy and always had to go to court. So, I ended up picking up from where she left off and finishing it myself. One of the worst attorneys I have ever dealt with.

I can whole-heartedly recommend Sarah and her team based on my experience. No matter what your circumstances, dealing with a family law situation is not easy. This Law Office’s high quality professionalism, sound and thoughtful advice, superior communication and compassion helped me to complete this process with dignity. There are never any “winners” in this realm of law, but my ultimate outcome was equitable and has given me peace of mind. I never doubted for a moment that Sarah’s strategy and efficient use of time was always in my best interest. Thank you, Sarah, I’m grateful.

SARAH is the very best money can buy. She has helped my father, and made sure his divorce is equitably. He has some Brain damage so he can be a handful. Thanks Sarah

She is an amazing lawyer who truly cares. I highly recommend her.

    We are very pleased with Sarah Orr. She guided us through a very difficult guardianship issue for our grandsons. The issue took more than a year to unfold. She was there, on time, fully informed, and very friendly yet professional. Sarah helped us see the most important underlying issues, and she told us clearly when she thought we were off base or had unrealistic expectations. She was willing to do what we wanted, while providing relevant guidance on how the system works; something we knew nothing about. She spoke down to earth non legalese language , and helped us understand how and when to proceed , when to wait, when to fight, and when to settle. We are very pleased to recommend Sarah Orr.

I called them during COVID 19 since I was exploring the divorce and wanted to check the best option. I did talk to them and expressed them I would try get it accomplished best way. Somehow they said they won't process my case... They should consider difference in in-person and phone communication...

How can TIFFANY EVEY your senior paralegal and office manager rate you 5 stars? Isn’t that a conflict of interest? ~ Horrible experience with Pakpour. I’m so disappointed as I expected much from an attorney than he is able to provide. His paralegal really pushed for him and reassured me Brian has the capability to handle my case - unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Mr. Pakpour is honest and reliable. I chose him to be my lawyer on a custody case. He explained thoroughly what he was going to do, the court process and his fees. If I needed a lawyer again in the future I’d rehire Brian and recommend him to anyone who asks.

Attorney Brian Pakpour is the type of person who does what he says he's going to do. He's reliable and trustworthy, which is not that common in today's world. I highly recommend him as someone to do business with.

Horrible, disrespectful, dishonest in my personal case. Terrible experience for me.

I found Evan Samuelson to be a kind, honest and extremely intelligent man. His knowledge of family law is exceptional. His use of logic and reason in applying family law to my case was exceptional. He never overpromised, never charged unnecessary fees, explained both sides to me clearly and always told me the truth. At all times during the legal process I felt I was in competent hands. Would I use him again? Absolutely 100%. In fact, he doesn’t know this yet, (he’ll read it in this review) I plan on using him for all my legal needs from now on. Thank you Evan, for a job very well done.

Evan helped me get more custody of my 2 boys. He was more than knowledgeable and was calm, cool and collected throughout the process. I would recommend Mr. Samuelson to any Father looking for more custody.

I first employed Evan over 10 years ago during a custody battle with my son's mother. My son was 14 years old at the time, and the court was more than willing to allow him to go live with his mother because they considered him old enough to decide. My son's mother had trouble with addiction for years, but the court refused to acknowledge that little tidbit. It was an impossible case and Evan was very forthright and honest about our chances. However, he was very willing to fight for us and we devised a strategy together that was both brilliant and effective. My son's mother was luring him away by spoiling him with gifts and fun activities with money she inherited. We decided to fight a battle of attrition with the expectation that she would eventually run out of money with her free spending. It worked! It was an impossible case that we won by unconventional, but ultimately successful, means. I am now about to embark on another custody battle which may be even more impossible than the first, and my only choice to represent me in this case is Evan Samuelson.

Mr. Samuelson was fantastic! He was honest, upfront, and fought for what is right. He knows his job and he knows it well. He is a no nonsense lawyer who is a quick thinker and really fights for you. He helped my husband with a modification of his visitation with his daughter and we got more than we even asked for and we owe it all to Evan. He really went after what was best for his daughter and after having horrible experiences in the past, we never thought we would win. We are continuing to utilize his services for modification of support and have no doubt that fairness will prevail. He gets the job done. I would recommend Evan Sameulson 1000 times over!

I contacted Mr. Samuelson for what should of been a easy open and close case. I however threw a monkey wrench midway through the case by requesting a move away with my children from CA to the Chicago area. After a year and a half of hearings, mediations and finally trial we were granted permission to move. During trial Evan was not only knowledgeable about case law, he was calm and reassuring during the process. I felt at ease knowing he was on my side and fighting to reunite my family. I am forever grateful to have had Evan Samuelson as my attorney.

Melissa Cianci is my attorney and I could not begin to say how grateful I am to have found her to represent me in both of my family law cases. I have been battling in court for years and had very few if any substantial victories to speak of until I found Melissa. She has worked so hard for me and has gotten me more victories in court when it comes to visitation with my daughters than I ever had before. She takes the time to listen to the history of my cases and has the ability to state everything to the judge as if I myself was saying it. Melissa is extremely talented and is very thorough in her arguments and truly fights for what is best for her client. My family is beyond blessed to have found Melissa and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a family law attorney!

I was lucky enough to find Melissa for my husband's family law cases. I searched through a lot of attorneys before I found her and I could not be more thankful that I did. Melissa is so very talented and has worked so hard for my husband to make sure that we get to have all of our daughters together as a family, despite the obstacles of visitation. She works so hard to make sure that she is prepared to fight for what is fair for you in the courtroom. My husband has battled for years as a father for fair visitation and without Melissa he would still be battling with very little success. She is worth every penny and we are so blessed to have found her!

DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!!! My partner used them paid so much money, and was told they would file a motion to respond and they withdrew from the case on the day he was served.. Very similar handling as Terri.. I am not a client my partner is... Unethical behavior I heard Melissa arguing with my partner on the phone he could not get a word in..If I could give 0stars I would!! They are limited scope and can’t help with all custody needs!! To your response, I never said I was a client.. It’s funny now that I’m leaving you the review you deserve, you are now taking this seriously.. The issue is that you are unprofessional. Making statements to help and not following through. I was a witness to the argumentative conversation you had with your former client , my partner.. I heard you ask him why he didn’t ask legal questions to his lawyer.. He hired you to explain legal issues and explain legal verbiage which you should have done a better job with.. Instead you took advantage of someone who needed your help.. You will be reported.. There is proof that your office said they would take action and they did not..

This law firm isn't what it seems. I needed help in regards to a parental kidnapping case, I was turned away. The ad says they are compassionate... I sorry, but turning your back from someone who needs their help seeking justice, doesn't show compassion.

Extremely unprofessional company. I contacted Melissa Cianci, who is the owner managing partner at this establishment. I wanted to discuss what transpired a couple days ago with one her attorney’s that represented me. Right from the start, she got very defensive that I told her that I felt misrepresented from my attorney and her firm. She said that it’s my responsibility to inform her attorneys on matters not the other way around. Just really look out for this firm because they won’t give you any indication what’s going on. Make sure you keep all documentation and emails too, that way you have legal proof that demonstrates your actions are in good human conscience. Ethics and professionalism go a long way in Attorney and client contracts and customer service.
