I'm still working through the financial side of my case and figuring out the best way to move…read moreforward, but I recently spoke with Doug Pinkham about my ongoing family law matter. My case has been going on since 2023, so there was a lot of history and a lot of details to go over. Doug was very generous with his time, especially at the end of the day, and took the time to really listen and understand the situation. He also did a great job of managing the limited time we had, keeping the conversation focused on the key facts and making sure the time was used as effectively as possible. He was very open and honest about how he viewed the case, what he thought might happen, the reality of the situation I'm in, and what it may take to finally get the case finished. What I appreciated most was that he did not just give me opinions without explaining them. He gave clear reasons for what he was saying based on his decades of experience, his knowledge of family law, and his familiarity with the other attorney and the judge involved in my case. The conversation was extremely helpful and confirmed several concerns I already had, while also helping me feel more confident about some of the strategies and approaches I had been considering. Every case is different, and every person has different needs when choosing an attorney, but I would definitely recommend reaching out to Pinkham & Associates and speaking with Doug to see if he is the right fit. He came across as experienced, thoughtful, direct, realistic, and very effective with his time, which are all qualities you would want in an attorney representing you.

Presence. Persistence. Professionalism…read more When I found myself in the throes of a wicked divorce, I felt helpless and had no idea what to do. I was up against an unreasonable opponent who had no problem stooping to low levels, backed by an army of cheerleaders and sycophants. With what felt like impending insurmountable defeat, I started shopping around for help. In comes Pouya. Presence: Should you find yourself in the courtroom, this is the guy you want next to you on the bench. He spares the theatrics and comes prepared with facts and case studies. Rather than reduce his talent to mud slinging and soap opera drama, Pouya stands tall with confidence in the arguments prepared. The language he uses is accurate and concise, spoken with the authority of an attorney who is knowledgeable. Pouya dresses well and makes sure that his materials are organized. The man oozes confidence and is a courtroom force for sure! Persistence: Nothing can sway Pouya. Knowing what the marching orders were, he did not back down to other bullies - in or out of the courtroom. Pouya stays on top of deadlines, follows up with opposing counsel, and sees the case from a logical perspective. Using a simple combo of logic and calmness, responses to opposing counsel were always sound and airtight. There was never an instance I thought we would falter. Professionalism: At the end of the day, it takes more than being a bulldog with a loud bark to succeed and this is where Pouya shines. From inception of the case to its completion, I nearly forgot that I wasn't Pouya's only client, he was that attentive. As an inexperienced client, of course I'd have a litany of questions and concerns. It was no challenge for Pouya to put them all to rest, even the seemingly stupid questions. Although the lawyer-client boundary was clear and professional, Pouya still made sure to call me out on my own bs and advise when I may or may not have an unreasonable expectation. This kind of attention kept us on track to a very successful outcome. His response times are very quick, his knowledge in his craft is very far reaching, and he carries himself as any self-respecting lawyer should. Sure, I had a lot of honesty and integrity to help my case. I kept great records and had mountains of evidence at the ready. One thing I've learned from this process is that NONE OF THAT MATTERS without the right representation. There is no doubt in my mind that the successful (and favorable!) closure of my divorce was a direct result of Pouya's intervention. With the greatest respect, I would hope to never need him again. But if the need arises, Nowzaree Law is my first pick, without hesitation. Shout out to his phenomenal staff as well. You're not just getting one lawyer, you're getting a well experienced team. Francine and Jill have been an absolute delight to work with throughout the process.

UPDATE: 9/25/25 I am already back at court to do what my…read moreattorney failed to do. I had a mediation 8/4/25, and he ghosted me (see photos). Before my mediation and trial in May, he also ghosted me (still charged me though), and then told me it will look bad in front of the judge if I go without him. Most unbelievably, he retaliated against my honest yelp review and put it in an email (see photos). I signed the substitution of attorney (terminating services) on 8/18/25 (see attached), immediately after the trail, because this attorney did not even ensure the two main things I wanted, pick-up/drop-off time listed on the custody agreement and to use the Talking Parents app, were added to the custody agreement. So literally, he did nothing but show me he has a chip on his shoulder about females. I received a bill dated 8/30/25 that Mr. Khan texted was the final bill at $1,545.90. Nearly one month after I signed the substitution of attorney (and coincidently right after he commented on my Yelp review), I suddenly have a second final invoice for over $6,000 with a date of 9/16/25. Suffice it to say I reported him to the Bar Association and Yelp. I stand by my 5-star initial review of the intake and consult; his office staff were amazing! This was such an experience that I almost forgot a crucial detail. See the pictures from our communication on the app he requests his customers to use. I sent him my custody modification 5/12/25 via the app and email, and he used the old form from 02/2024 and gave that one to my ex and his staff! Do you want to guess if he billed me for it? He sure did-twice! I outlined these in yellow and black. He tried to fix his mistake days before my trial, so I prepared my own binder, to which he replied the judge would be annoyed with. He also charged me $270.00 and listed: Prepared binder for trial. Run from this man. I just keep reporting his comments to Yelp because he is calling me a liar for giving an honest review with evidence. 9/26/25: Thank you yelp support, at least he changed his comments.

I was unexpectedly served with an ex parte Domestic Violence Restraining Order and a dissolution of…read moremarriage filing. I strongly denied the allegations of domestic violence, and at the time my spouse was requesting 100% custody of our two children with no visitation for me. It was one of the most difficult and stressful periods of my life. Navid Moshtael helped guide me through the entire process. My spouse was extremely difficult throughout the case, which made an already complicated situation even more challenging. Despite that, Navid was able to navigate the conflict, stay focused on the bigger picture, and continue moving the case toward the outcome we had discussed from the beginning. Navid was very clear about his strategy, what he believed was realistic, and how he planned to approach both the court proceedings and negotiations. When it mattered most, he took control in the courtroom. He was confident, prepared, direct, and strategic. Ultimately, the DV restraining order was dropped, I obtained joint custody, and most importantly, I was able to see my children again. Despite all of the obstacles and difficult negotiations along the way, we ended up exactly where Navid had planned for us to end up. My advice to anyone working with Navid is to trust the process and stick with him through the end. There may be moments when things feel uncertain, especially in a highly contentious case, but Navid had a plan and executed it. He delivered the result he told me he was working toward. I am extremely grateful for what he did for me and my family and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a difficult family law or custody matter.

1 Star -- Serious Concerns About Ethics, Communication, and Transparency…read more This was one of the most concerning professional experiences I've ever had. I retained this firm during a highly sensitive divorce and domestic violence matter. Like many clients in this position, I was relying on them for guidance, protection, and advocacy during a very difficult time. During the intake process, they were extremely confident--stating they regularly handle cases like mine and assuring me they could help. Based on those representations, I paid a retainer of over $4,000. What followed raised serious red flags. I was never provided a meaningful face-to-face meeting despite multiple requests. Communication was limited, and there was little to no substantive legal work performed on my case. After taking my retainer and reviewing my situation, I was abruptly told they could not assist me and they withdrew representation. Even more concerning, I was billed beyond the retainer. The most alarming issue, however, was learning that there were discussions involving my ex-wife during the time I was their client--without my knowledge or clear explanation of what was discussed. As a client, not knowing the nature of those communications raised serious concerns for me regarding confidentiality, transparency, and whose interests were actually being represented. At a minimum, I expected: * Clear communication * Transparency in all interactions related to my case * Alignment and advocacy on my behalf Unfortunately, that was not my experience. The intake process was polished and convincing, but the follow-through did not reflect the level of professionalism or client care that was initially presented. If you are considering legal representation for a serious and personal matter, I would strongly encourage you to ask detailed questions upfront and carefully evaluate whether this firm is the right fit. I wish I had done that, this was the worst law firm I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

Their practical yet compassionate approach turned a potentially stressful experience into one that felt manageable and, ultimately, worthwhile.
