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.

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.

I am a father who was falsely accused of a serious felony, jailed, and then had the charges…read morerejected by the DA only for the same allegations to be carried into family court that very day. I was isolated from my child's school, medical records, and even asked to notify a foreign embassy. I lived under extreme isolation, my time stolen, forced into 11 months of supervised visits just 6 hours a week under a TRO. Through all of this, I fought for my child and was left alone by everyone except Simon and Merve. They stood by me when nobody else did. Thank you, Simon. Thank you, Merve. You are the best. I worked with Simon during a very difficult and complex family law case. I have seen many attorneys during my journey and with respect to freedom of speech, I can honestly call most of them clowns. Simon is the only real trial attorney i have seen in my experience. My former attorney was lazy, incompetent, manipulative, and refused to file my counterclaim in a DV hearing. He charged me $35k while gaslighting me, putting fear in me, and ignoring my evidence even though I was the victim and had serious criminal court level evidences in my favor. I told him my child was in danger, but he did not care at all. After I fired him, he even sent my personal notes to opposing counsel. He nearly allowed my child to be kidnapped during trial if I had accepted his manipulation. Simon and Merve were completely different. They saw reality, experienced about how the system works, and fought for me and my child. From the beginning I told them I didn't care about myself everything was about protecting my child. Simon and Merve listened, shared my concerns, and kept me informed every step of the way. He has a heart, and even though the legal system often runs on cold templates, he has lived through enough to show real empathy while still being sharp, strategic, and aggressive when needed. Merve is the sweetest person, and as a parent herself, she gave me emotional support during the most difficult time of my life . or 11 months, I was limited to supervised visits -- just 6 hours a week. It was hell. They helped me endure that period and ultimately secured my freedom and my child's safety. They cleared my name, secured the protection my child and I deserve, and moved the case forward even though the opposing side constantly delayed, lied, and tried to abuse the process. Simon is extremely detailed, naturally strategic, and puts in real effort for his clients. Do not expect him to be cheap, but he is worth it if your life and your children's safety are on the line. Merve Degirmencioglu was also deeply involved. I admire her intelligence, her strategic thinking, and her genuine care for children above all. Together, they are an excellent team. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate Simon and Merve. They gave me back my voice, my dignity, and most importantly, my child's safety.
