I had the privilege of working with Hossein Berenji and his team for more than two years on a very complex and high-conflict case. The opposing party engaged in extensive gamesmanship, attempting to conceal income and international properties and mislead the court. Hossein's sharp legal strategy, attention to detail, and persistence ensured that every one of those tactics was exposed and properly addressed before the judge. Throughout the process, Hossein demonstrated exceptional professionalism, calm confidence, and genuine care for his clients. His team reflected the same values, always responsive, organized, and committed to achieving the best possible outcome. I am deeply grateful for Hossein's expertise, integrity, and tireless advocacy. I would highly recommend Berenji & Associates to anyone seeking strong, honest, and capable representation in a difficult family law matter. read more

Don't even bother you can't even get an appointment with these guys they give you a runaround and you have to repeat your story to front desk staff that are probably doing front desk for multiple companies. There's no personal connection and they want an excessive amount of money before they even talk to you. read more

I was referred to Hossein Berenji and associates by another lawyer friend. Hossein and his staff of knowledgable and capable attorneys were amazing. He definitely treated me with care and respect and had my main interest always at the forefront of every decision we made together and advised me on. Going through divorce was one of the hardest things I had experienced in my life and knowing I was in the best hands at Berenji and Associates made me feel protected and cared for. I wish this firm did more than divorces, because I would definitely be a client forever. I value Hossein and his team of attorneys so much! Definitely worth every dollar you spend. read more

I met mr berenji back in 2019. He was courteous enough to meet me by my home at a coffee shop to accommodate my time as a single mom. He helped me file my initial response to my custody lawsuit and fearing that I would never be able to afford him and worrying about how I'd get to his dude of town for meetings etc, , I chose to switch attorneys; a decision I truly regret. Mr Berenji, thank you for your help and Annie is also amazing. I recommend mr berenji! read more

If there were 10 Negative stars, I would give it to him! This guy is nothing but a rip off! Stay away from him! He will not think twice to charge you in excess for even sneezing in his office. He even told me once "I don't think you can afford me!" This was after I had paid him $7,500 retainer fee. He is all about empty promises, lack of knowledge, for example in my case: He said that I was supposed to pay a total sum of about $4000 for spousal and child support. May I let you know that I only make $20k per year after searching for a 2nd opinion, I was informed that the maximum I was supposed to pay was about $700-$800 a month for child support, and nothing due for spousal support! I fired Mr. Berenji, and retained a much lower cost Attorney, who, when I went to the court, guess what....The Judge ordered me to pay her $719.00 for child support and no Spousal Support! Just to show you that Mr. Berenji is only looking for his best interest, not yours! His lack or knowledge unethical behavior is beyond me. DO NOT EVER HIRE HIM AS YOUR ATTORNEY, EVEN FOR A SIMPLE TRAFFIC TICKET! Until now, he refuses to give me any of my refund! Even though he owes me well over $1,500 still. Which is why I had to take him to Mediation with the State Board. read more

Absolutely amazing experience with this firm.

I was trying to collect an old default judgment related to my mother's divorce. I'm sure EVERY family law matter has complex emotional attachments. Today, Annie Arakelian did more for me in a free consultation that took less than 33 minutes than any of the MANY lawyers (therapists, life coaches and psychiatrists) have cumulatively in the last 20 years! It makes sense! Annie was recently was recognized as a "Super Lawyer"! I have worked in a professional capacity with lawyers, and to be recognized by your peers in that way says a lot about Annie's competence as a lawyer. With regard to cost, you can't go wrong with a free consultation that direct, professional, human and provided with 100% transparency! I haven't yet decided if I will hire Annie. I have to choose if I want to do the work, take the time, have enough room for more anger and of course consider what will actually end up in the bank/my quality of life. I can tell you, when hiring a lawyer, hiring someone like Annie is a cost effective choice! Example: You can buy a chocolate anywhere for less than $2. Of course drugstore chocolate often is cheap in ingredients and unsatisfying in flavor. For less than $5, you can buy the real cacao chocolate! That kind gives you everything you need in two tiny squares! Cost vs. Value! For today, I'm just going to focus on getting through the rest of it feeling relieved that there are decent, kind, understanding, patient human beings in the world like Annie read more

I had the opportunity to speak to Mr. Berenji regarding my Mom's divorce. She was dealing with issues regarding a pension and it was all really complicated. Mr. Berenji took the time to meet with me and answered a lot of my questions. He was very knowledgeable when it came to complicated questions regarding division of assets and spousal support. He really took the time to explain things in detail and didn't mind repeating himself when I didn't understand something. I think he's very helpful and his assistant Katherine, might be the nicest person ever. read more

I recently retained Mr. Berenji to represent me in my family law case and was extremely pleased with the result. Mr. Berenji was highly recommended by a co-worker who had worked with him in the past. My first contact with him was late on a Friday evening due to an emergency situation that arose. It's not often that an attorney will answer a call from a potential client on a Friday night, but Mr. Berenji left the event he was attending in order to speak to me and guide me through what needed to be done. Thanks to his calm demeanor and excellent advice I managed to successfully resolve that situation and eventually turn it to my advantage. Throughout the rest of my case Mr. Berenji consistently provided me with excellent advice, a calm voice of reason, and a zealous advocate in my case. He has made himself available to me whenever I needed, took the time to prepare me for all my hearings, and was always punctual to all of our meetings and court dates. His office staff has always been friendly and promptly responsive to any questions or requests that I had. I've worked with other attorneys in the past and found Mr. Berenji's rates to be a bargain for the high quality of service and expertise he provides. His firm isn't just a mill that churns out the same cookie-cutter work, but they presented several options and worked with me to come up with the best plan of action to get the results that best suited my needs. Ultimately, I ended up with results that I was very pleased with and were far better than I anticipated when my case started. While I hope I won't require his services in the future, Mr. Berenji will be the first attorney I call. read more

They changed our lives. Hossein Berenji and Soojin Youn were a god send. Mr Berenji offered hope when no one else could. Mine was a complicated international case and without their passion for what is right and fair for myself my kids we would have had nothing. Internationally forensically auditing with a parent who knows how to hide money well, forget about it. If it weren't for the creativity, experience and tenacity of the firm I would have nothing. I owe the fact that I can feed and cloth my kids with a roof over their heads to consider college all because of Hossein and Soojin. AND, I'm not the easiest client. there were a lot of crying and panic attacks my side and still they managed with a successful outcome. thank you! read more

The team at Berenji & Associates helped me through my divorce, which was emotionally draining. Even though this was one of the worst experiences I have ever been through, Mr. Berenji and his staff took the time to explain the process and the reasoning behind every action we had to take. Mr. Berenji, in particular, spent considerable time with me. He took my calls, answered my emails, and made me feel as if I mattered. Mr. Berenji gave me the pros and cons of every action we anticipated, making sure that I was understanding the process and what was at risk. Without him and his staff, I think I would have lost everything in this divorce. But instead, I had a true advocate on my side who protected my interests. Thank you Mr. Berenji! read more

Berenji & Associates guided me through a very difficult time in my life. Mr. Berenji stood by my side through every step of the way and provided me with amazing legal advice. He was particularly patient with me when I had several questions and proactively provided me with options on how I could proceed. He outlined several way to approach my case and provided his input based on his extensive experience. His attention to detail was priceless and he was always accessible, never leaving me in the dark and keeping me informed every step of the way. I have dealt with other attorneys in the past, but Mr. Berenji out-shines them all. read more

A friend of mine asked me to help her with some questions around her divorce and find a lawyer. I found Mr. Berenji online and was able to speak with him immediately.

Dear attorney from Berenjin & Associates firm (sorry I didn't quite get the name of the attorney who took my call), thank you for taking the time to provide a free consulting session, and being patient to answer my questions though you know from the beginning that my case is no good for you. I really appreciate your help. read more

Highly recommend Mr. Berenji!!! He provided me with a lot of advice and counsel through my divorce. It was complicated as my ex was living in another country and he was able to get the judge to grant me a divorce even though I still needed some signatures from my ex for the property settlement (I didn't even know that was possible). He was extremely professional and easy to work with. He was also informative, making sure, at every step of the way, I understood my options and his professional opinion. Great attorney to work with! I hope to not get divorced again but would recommend to anyone seeking professional assistance. read more

By far the worst professional I have ever dealt with. He cancelled about 15 appointments with me. I have few businesses and my time is extremely important to me. I have never cancelled on a client more than once. If I ever did, I would do my best to make it up to them. The contract that was supposed to be drawn up took many months to complete and was finally finished closed to the deadline. I paid the money up front, big mistake on my part. If I were do it again, I would go somewhere else and would pay a portion of the payment and I would pay the rest on completion. read more

I contacted Berenji & Associates to get some legal advice. Although my issue was minor, Mr. Berenji went out of his way to explain the law to me and answer all of my questions. I had contacted several other attorneys who either didn't call me back or when they did find out that my legal issue was a minor one and they wouldn't generate a lot of fees they were abrupt and refused to provide me a thorough explanation. With Mr. Berenji's advise, I was able to favorably resolve my legal issue. I highly recommend Berenji & Associates! read more

We used Mr. Berenji to help us with a contract issue and had a wonderful experience. Our child was at a preschool that was a bad fit and they were trying to keep our deposit for the following school year even though we had only been there a few months. They refused to return our deposit so we retained Mr. Berenji. He was empathic, returned our calls in a timely manner, and never made us feel rushed in answering our questions or concerns. He looked over the contract we had signed with the school, drafted a strong letter and within 2 weeks we had our money back in hand. If you are seeking someone professional, fast, and compassionate and smart then Mr. Berenji is the way to go. read more

Thank you so much to the team at Berenji. read more

I was referred to Mr. Berenji by a friend of mine.

Highly recommend them, friendly , reliable and no games. read more

Please, DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, go with this attorney for any divorce matters. He will rob you in a second and make your money disappear. I met with him on Jan 24, 2017 for a "Free Consultation," which he later charged me for it on his first invoice. He promised to give me what I wanted out of my divorce. However, Mr. Berenji only filed the Summons, and my Declaration without asking for any of my initial demands which included Child Custody/Visitation. I paid his retainer fee of $7,500. He convinced me to filed an Ex-Parte in order to secure orders for: Visitation, Property, Hold in trust my children's passports, and freeze my ex-wife's safe deposit box, but I found out that the only reason he did this was to prepare and collect more money from me. Once, we got to the court, the next day, the judge presiding, denied and gave him harsh criticism for his lack of knowledge and to the fact that he had filled the paperwork wrong. 2 days later he sent me a bill for $6,500! He made "Adjustments" to his bill, and he was supposed to give me refund, until today, I have gotten $0.00 from him! Therefore, I had to take him to Mediation. May I also say that, even for that, he was a No-Show! He failed to let the Mediator know of him not being able to come! The mediator drove from a long distance, incurred lodging fees and this guy acted without any regards to that! NEVER, EVER GO WITH THIS GUY! My case happened recently. read more
