When the opportunity presents itself, I am always pleased to be able to recommend Gharibian & Oliver as the premier family law firm in all north Los Angeles County areas. I have partnered with them, as needed, now for over 6 years. Family law matters can be complicated, emotional, long-term in nature, and rarely are any fun. My case has received superior service and, with the team’s guidance, understanding, and representation, very favorable outcomes were achieved.

Divorce is never easy, but I am more than thankful I went with Paulette Gharibian. She not only knows Family Law but treats her clients with incredible compassion. She worked extremely hard to ensure mine and my children's future even with the most challenging circumstances. She was always professional even faced with opposing council that didn't share the same value of that professionalism. It meant a lot to continuously meet other lawyers and even Judges that knew and respected Paulette. The staff at Gharibian & Oliver are also dedicated professionals that help you through all the difficult decisions and paperwork and make you feel every question or concern you may have is valid and answered. I have referred Gharibian & Oliver already and would again to anyone I care about!

I called, looking for a basic estimate and they said that I would have to come in and pay $200 to, potentially, waste my time. Every business is required to give a quote by law, why should people pay to get a quote here? Might wanna think that one over....looks like they like taking pictures more than lawyering.

I just want to put my thanks to Richard Taub from the bottom of my heart. For his bravery, his wisdom, his willingness to freely share his expertise, and his dedication to protecting families like mine. He emboldened me to have courage and be brave and armed me with a plan. Some people go their entire lives wondering if they made a difference. He doesn't have that problem. When you put your heads on your pillows tonight, know that there's a beautiful 1 year old little girl and her momma that are sleeping much better because of Mr. Taub. I highly recommend him to anyone needing legal help and guidance.

Prior to finding Dennis, my fiancé had spent years (and a substantial amount of money) on trying to get divorced with his ex, who lives overseas. When we accepted that nothing would be done if we didn't take action ourselves, I began my hunt for an attorney. After 2 weeks, multiple referrals, and several phone calls to attorneys and law firms, I stumbled on Dennis and felt good about him immediately. He did not try to rush my phone call with him, he sounded genuinely interested in helping us, and his rates and method of payment to his law firm, were far more reasonable than all the lawyers I'd spoken to in the last two weeks. I told my fiancé we'd found his lawyer, and we began working with Dennis right away. Throughout the course of the divorce process, Dennis was very prompt in responding to emails, always answered any questions we had, was very concise in explaining things to us, and overall a pleasure to work with :) I cannot say enough good things about him. I recommend him highly, and would refer him to anyone needing his services. The dissolution of my fiancés past marriage, was executed in a timely manner, and we're happily free to carry on with our lives. So happy we found Dennis and had the pleasure of working with him. My fiancé and I are infinitely grateful :)

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

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!

Rozanna Velen is an excellent family law attorney. Look at her retainer as a long term investment-you pay a bit now, but save a bunch in the long run. Rozanna will give the facts and law to you straight, and let you know your options and risks. There are not many attorneys who will tell you to take a route that will make her less money...but that's how much of a straight shooter she is. I've sent dozens of people over to Rozanna. She is a respected professional in the legal community. She has obtained excellent results for myself, my friends and associates- including someone who originally (before retaining Rozanna) agreed to pay their spouse $80k...but after hiring Rozanna my friend RECEIVED $80k from their spouse. (Don't try to do a divorce alone if you have assets.) Some family attorneys are sleazebags who wring every drop of $ out of their client, bully, yell and scream at opposing parties, and don't care about the welfare of the child or adults involved. Rozanna is the opposite. She's got a good grasp on keeping things calm, and she focuses on the best interest of the child and other humans in the family matter. Hire Rozanna Velen.

All major life decisions are difficult and making the decision to divorce my ex-wife was by far one of the most challenging decisions and experiences I’ve ever endured. My divorce from my ex-wife should not have been a complicated one, but my ex-wife and her “super lawyer” wanted to make it a long, drawn out and costly experience with the hope that by deploying underhanded delay tactics and never ending, senseless requests that my ex would be successful in stopping me from 50/50 legal and physical custody of my daughter, as well as other key divorce areas. I started my divorce journey by hiring “the wrong” attorney. I made an emotional decision related to my first attorney and hired an attorney who my friend had used for his easy divorce. After 1 year of endless mediation, countless emails, phone calls, senseless delays waiting for my ex to agree to 50/50 I was no farther along than when I started and had already spent thousands on attorney fees. I needed to find “the right” attorney to help me get divorced who was strategic, focused, ethical, responsive, thoughtful and would keep legal fees to only what was necessary. I fired my first attorney and after an in depth search including having my friends contact their inside/ back channel legal friends I found “the right” attorney in Rozanna Velen. Hiring Rozanna was the best decision of my life. Within 4 months of hiring Rozanna she pushed through the endless walls of delays and negotiated and procured a 50/50 legal and physical custody agreement and then helped me along that way to close out and finalize my divorce. Rozanna is highly intelligent, experienced, calm, strategic, responsive, ethical, focused and determined. I highly recommend Rozanna Velen.

I would leave a minus 5 star if i could. The Spermling (SO CALLED ) Law Firm is a joke. We paid almost $14000.00 for our case, but they didn't do much for over a period of 8 months for us.The opposing Lawyer was too smart for them. They are arrogant and incompetent , I was on the phone with Mitchel Spermling and asked him a question and he hung up the phone and dropped our case, because he is not competent to answer questions. I emailed them to get a break down on our payment and they never responded. I am filing a complaint to the State Bar. Stay away from this Law Firm, there are so many great ones out there.

After being separated from their mother for well over 3 years, my children and I started going through a difficult time with her due to very concerning behavior on her part. She started downright terrorizing us after she learned that I had started dating a man. She filed lawsuits, harassed and hounded us, tried to track our every move, took legal steps to keep my partner away from my children and failed miserably, secretly filmed and took pictures of us and even stalked us. Co-parenting with her was a nightmare before it became impossible. It became so stressful and scary for my children and their mental state that I came to the conclusion that I needed to take some serious action to protect our mental health and to put a stop to the bullying and the emotional abuse once and for all. Luckily, the Sperling Law Firm came to our rescue and helped us resolve our issues with this troll. My attorney Lauren McAllister was equipped with all the legal advice and expertise that I needed and she stayed cool, calm and collected each time when facing the monster. Lauren put the monster in her place when she had to and put a stop to all the cartoonish distractions the monster tried to create in court. After a couple rounds with Lauren, the monster seemed to be getting discouraged and started to back off from the attacks. Typical bully behavior. She was no match for Lauren McAllister! My incredible attorney’s hard work led to the court granting me extended time with my children and I, and denying the monster every ridiculously controlling request and every viscous mean-spirited allegation. My children are finally at ease and love to spend most of their time in my care. And now that the monster has been repeatedly beaten by Lauren, it has humbled down and makes the weekly pick up/ drop off times less traumatizing for the children and I. This is the greatest gift to earn from this lengthy battle. My advice for anyone out there is to NEVER let a bully of any shape, form or relation, ruin the lives and mental health of your loved ones, and to hire the Sperling Law Firm to help you fight back! Because it’s worth it. Fight back and have these wonderful attorneys help you with your fight. Thank you for your talent and cool wit, Lauren McAllister !

A voice of reason, a teacher, and an amazing teammate! Not exactly the first thing you expect to hear from a divorce lawyer… “I know this is bad for business, but have you tried marriage counseling?” Mr. Bigler came highly recommended, but I was certainly caught off guard when he asked me this during the first meeting! I tell you this for two reasons: it shows that he wants what is best for the people involved, and he is not afraid to tell you the truth, even if it is not what you want to hear. (…and yes, we had years of marriage counseling.) Following that meeting was the initial divorce, followed by another custody case over a year later. Mr. Bigler defended me and my children against multiple false accusations. He stood up for our best interests. He taught me how to have the courage necessary to handle life as a single mom, and that I’m intelligent enough and have every right to defend myself and my children against lies. His sound advice is still ringing in my ears, and I’m very grateful for it. I know I paid him, but I feel like I gained a friend.

Having found myself in the unfortunate position to require legal representation, advice and support last holiday season to address a divorce suit, I was remarkably fortunate to find all of the above in the affordable, professional and considerate legal team of Ronald K Stitch. Stephanie Lamantain spearheaded the entire process impeccably and I never once felt that she or the whole team did not have my very best interests at heart. Always available to talk, discuss or even just allow me to complain and vent, the advice and support she provided was second to none. I cannot recommend more confidently that you will not find a more dedicated and supportive family law legal team should you need one.

I greatly appreciated their mediation style of always looking to de-escalate the litigation style of the opposing council we had to deal with.
