She was extremely prepared, clearly explained each step, and made what could have been a very stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We completed everything in just five appointments, and I felt the cost was very fair, especially with the fees divided equally between us.

Cheryl explained legal jargon in a way that was easy for me to understand, and ensured I understood a concept before moving on to the next step. She was always available for questions and provided timely updates on the progress of my case, making me feel supported every step of the way. I reached out to multiple lawyers for assistance, and all of them told me they couldn't accommodate my timeline. However, Cheryl immediately took on the challenge and helped me without making me feel rushed. I never felt the need to check in for updates, as she was always on top of things.

She has my highest recommendation which is not an easy claim from me. I know what I want and have been described as demanding which came from my time on active duty as a Marine Corps officer, I have high expectations of those that worked for me during my time in the Marine Corps and although Karen didn't work for me as a Marine she possesses all the traits of an exceptional and dedicated professional. Her prices are very competitive. And after working with her I found my money well spent. I would have given her many more stars but Yelp doesn't allow more than 5. I shopped for paralegals for 2 months. Most are not responsive or end up playing phone tag and nothing gets done. Karen is quick to respond and provides pertinent information or directs you to the right source to get your inquiries answered. I'll use her again if I need her services. Thank you Karen!

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.

He understood the real danger behind my concerns, explained things gently and realistically, and supported me during a time when my child's safety was deeply at risk. His calm, focus, and stability were present in every decision, and I genuinely attribute my ability to function without constant anxiety to him. Family law is trauma, plain and simple, especially when your kids and livelihood are involved. After navigating part of the process on my own, I realized how different the reality of court is -- and how costly choosing the wrong attorney can be. Ryan's clarity, professionalism, and calm kept me focused, hopeful, and grounded. He explained everything in plain English -- the strategy, the process, and what to expect -- while never losing sight of what mattered most: my child's safety. What sets Ryan apart is his integrity and human-first approach. I never once felt like a case number. This was never about "winning"; it was about protecting my children, and he treated that responsibility with seriousness and care. Communication was excellent -- texts, emails, and calls were returned promptly, deadlines were met, and nothing ever felt rushed or careless. When difficult decisions arose, he offered honest guidance without pressure. Ryan knows the Orange County family law courts and approaches his work with sincerity and humanity. That combination is rare, and it matters more than people realize. I felt prepared and protected every step of the way. If you are looking for an ethical, responsive, strategic family law attorney in Orange County who genuinely cares about the people behind the case, this is the person you want on your side.
