I truly believe that Adam Neufer is one of the best divorce litigators out there. I became aware of him through a recommendation from a close friend and I wanted to share my perspective here so more people can find him in the future. First off, he is extremely intelligent and knows the law backwards and forwards. This was really important to me because I'm not a lawyer and don't have a background that would give me any help navigating a divorce or complex division of assets. Learning everything from scratch is a big lift, so I am glad that Adam is so patient. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and that helped make me feel comfortable. He doesn't stick to just generalities either and will dive deep into the unique aspects of the case. To me, this is something I think you just don't see enough from lawyers, but it's the whole reason I was able to understand the strategy that he proposed. From an emotional perspective, I feel that Adam has your back. He acknowledges what you are feeling and how hard it is to go through this process. I swear, I think California deliberately tries to make getting divorced as hard as possible, but Adam ensures that you know what you need to do to come through it in the right place. There are so many bad choices you can make, especially when you're in a tough, emotional place, but he helps avoid making choices that can be detrimental to the case. He also holds the opposing counsel accountable for the errors they make, which could mean the difference between an affordable spousal support payment or one where you go into debt. I feel like I am in a better place now because of Adam and I would absolutely recommend him to others going through a tough divorce. read more

Response to MORADI: Having the property that was half of the settlement agreement soon being put up for foreclosure due to MORADI neglect at due diligence is certainly not a good settlement as claimed. MORADI increases their rate so frequent it's hard to keep track. I believe it was 3-5 times during the engagement since 2022, so whatever you agree on in terms of fees that will certainly increase. MORADI knew about my concern and inability to pay legal fees after mediation. The above mention rate increase shows a compete lack of sensitivity. After their negligence to discover liens on the property that was part of the settlement, I have payed +/- $10K out of my own pocket in addition to the 50K payed before mediation. Also the last email I got from them was that to solve the malpractice and lack of proper due diligence, they estimated that it would cost me 21K to resolve it. If I did not agree to these fees they regarded that I fired them, in essence they do not want me as a client. If you are not extremely wealthy, certainly engaging MORADI will not be a good choice and if you are extremely wealthy, I would still question if this is your best choice due to the inefficiency of this firm. read more

In my experience, the team at Moradi Neufer did a great job at not only asking us the required questions but also making sure we were educated on why they were important. They were proactive, and took the time to explain things in detail, which showed their focus on providing high quality service. I appreciated the systems they have in place for follow up and the level of detail in their billing, it gave us a good idea of where the time was spent and ensured we got value for the money spent. Thank you! read more

I can't say enough good things about Moradi Neufer. They're the kind of team you feel lucky to have on your side--smart, strategic, and ready for whatever comes up. But what makes them truly special is how much they care. They don't just handle issues; they support you through them. If you're thinking about working with them, don't hesitate--you'll be in the best hands. read more

I cannot recommend Toriana Holmes at Moradi Neufer highly enough. My case was unusually complex and emotionally difficult, spanning 3 years, and she handled every challenge with professionalism, patience, and genuine compassion. She kept me grounded, treated all parties with dignity, and never lost sight of what mattered most. If you're navigating a difficult divorce and need someone who is both a skilled advocate and a steady presence, she is the one to call. read more

I think it's important that I publicly recognize and share with my community the value of Moradi Neufer Law. This is a special law firm because they took a lot of care when I needed help with a post-judgment issue. One of their partners, Patricia Van Haren, spent time walking me through different options and really helped me understand the pros and cons of each. They factored in my financial constraints and offered very clear guidance without considering that it wouldn't be a lucrative case for them. I appreciate the empathy and compassion that was extended to me in a vulnerable period of time. I was never pressured but always given calm, thoughtful advice with a clear and transparent delivery. I am glad to know there are highly ethical firms like this out there and I would absolutely recommend them in the future. read more

update: Other people are contacting me with similar horrible experiences with Moradi Neufer. What I didn't realize until too late, is that when you are in a high conflict divorce it is in part a financial war. The other side has likely found a cheap and unethical attorney who will drive up your expenses to win through a war of attrition. Don't be fooled by any five star reviews - even a broken clock is right twice a day. As you can tell by the firm's response to my review, they are incapable of self-reflection or taking responsibility for their screw up, which means if they make any mistakes YOU are going to pay extra for it, like I had to. Moradi wasted more of my money than any other firm, doing work I didn't ask them to do, claiming work needed to be done 'perfectly' for a discovery challenge then dropping it after tens of thousands in work. They even waited until a few days before the charge back deadline to opposed a charge back so it was too late for me to prosecute it when I found out. Then when I refused to up their retain until seeing what the other side filed, they said either I paid or they would file to drop me - which they did and was used by the other side against me. When I asked the court for legal fees, the JUDGE noted how excessive the legal fees from Moradi were. While part is due to the conduct of the other side's attorney, you still expect your attorney to professional manage the issue, not exploit the situation to drive up billable hours. I'm happy to talk to anyone on a call about my direct experiences, or to support anyone else going to the state bar or elsewhere for relief if they have also been wronged by this firm. Bad lawyers are ruining families and they should be removed from law practice. Update: the comment from the firm head is marketing speak, which is what you can expect when they over bill and underserve you. They were willing to explain that I should pay tens of thousands of dollars for work I didn't request, and for delivering work that copied previous work that I already paid for not the actual work needed. Then they screwed me over with the court when I asked them to wait a week for me to consider continuing with them. Run.... Original: wow, I don't know where to begin. they did work I told them not to do, they misled me on a discovery matter driving up my bill, and they charged a fortune on an expert opinion letter - producing a letter that didnt properly address the only issue needed - instead repeating what I already had in a previous letter. when I asked them to wait for opposing counsels response before I paid another $25k retainer, they threatened to file to drop as my lawyer. I had paid all the outstanding due, they would t wait a few days. when opposing counsel and the Judge saw the bills they both said they were ridiculously high. If the opposing party hadn't screwed up concealing info, I likely would have also owed their legal fees. When I tried to address the issues with the firm they doubled down defending the attorney who had repeatedly screwed up and misled me. I have a good attorney now. world of difference. if your case matters to you, don't roll the dice. This firm doesn't take responsibility for it fix their mistakes. read more

I am so glad that I know the people at Moradi Neufer. It can be really hard to find the right family law firm. There are a lot of them out there, but not many have the expertise of this team. They have the ability to tackle so many different, complex issues. From their partners all the way to the associates, paralegals, and staff, they make clients feel they're being cared for. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in need of an excellent family law firm. read more

I had to write this after my terrible experience with Adam Neufer. I cannot express how upset I am that I did not read the other terrible reviews of this supposed lawyer. From the first day I had doubts since he instantly became unavailable after I made my deposit. He dropped every single aggressive plan he told me about for my divorce and continued to tell me about not poking the bear. He insisted on his strategy of hiding on the sidelines. As far as work goes he missed every single possible deadline, everything he said he would do, and every obligation he ever had. He did not remember anything we discussed, and did not follow through on anything he said he would. He never responded to my wife's initial claims. Then he told me that even though he forgot it was fine since the judge would allow his response during trial. He took over two months to provide my financial disclosures even though I gave him all my information within two days. He never submitted a counter DVRO even though he told me that was the first thing he would do. He charged me $30K and 2 plus months to give an initial settlement proposal. He never engaged my forensic accountant yet charged me tens of thousands of dollars to prepare for the initial engagement. It took him $30,000 and over 2 months to make my first offer to settle. He never engaged my forensic accountant and then told me I had told him to hold off. I emailed him at least ten times to talk to the forensic accountant and when he finally, after at least a month, put me in touch with that financial accountant. I found out that we had not even engaged him which clearly was why he kept me from contact. He kept postponing my initial hearing even though I insisted he do not. I literally had to write to him "stop" for him to actually pay attention to me. He was never available for any phone calls. Never had any Zoom with him. He does not even have an office; he is a Lincoln Lawyer except not like the movie more like the actual losers in Night Court. It would be at least a week to have a phone call with him. He had no idea what was going on ever. When I finally fired Adam unfortunately I still had one action for him to complete. He totally checked out, passed this on to his brand new assistant who lived in LA (after his partner quit a week into the case which seems to be a pattern), however charged me tens of thousands of dollars for his support to his new associate. In the end, due to complete lack of confidence, I gave up totally, gave my ex millions of dollars more than was due. I had total no confidence in this should be disbarred sack of nothing. He is a total waste of legal space. I spent way over $100K for zero. I wish I had hired anyone else, or even represented myself. I do think he is mentally ill; nobody could be this idiotic. DO NOT HIRE THIS PERSON. read more

Terrible law firm. Very slow. They often took several weeks to forward letters from opposing counsel to clients. They also took several weeks to draft a simple letter. Their service is expensive. Drafting a simple letter can cost of thousands of dollars. They hire many associates. They don't care clients that are not in rich level and assign an inexperienced associate to handle the case. Some associates are terrible. They don't know any strategy to solve the case and can't provide any suggestion to client. The firm fire attorneys. It's possible your current attorney suddenly disappears and your case would be transferred to another attorney. Then you have to pay all expenses occurred for the new attorney to learn the background of your case. Not recommend this law firm. read more

I'm 90% sure that they inflated their billed hours or they are just REALLY much slower at doing things than others. Feels like they are trying to take advantage of people who don't use lawyers often. Even with that, they also charged me twice for the same thing, so check your bill if you do go with them. I would not recommend them. read more

They will charge your credit card fraudulently over and over while providing zero services. You will get huge monthly bills even while no work is being done and the lawyer is speechless to explain the billing. All bills are seriously padded. They ripped me off for over $25,000 and now I am forced to start a lawsuit against them to recover my funds. Just what someone needs while dealing with a divorce. read more

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Jack Salisbury and his team for handling my case. I was dealing with a high conflict custody situation and have lost faith in the court looking into and addressing my genuine issues. I consulted with several in my area who just seemed less concerned of the details until I came across Moradi Saslaw. When I first consulted with Jack, he gave me reason, objectivity and hope...So when things escalated as any complex family issue is bound to and despite the firm being mainly in the Bay Area, I believed going through the process and the price of it all will only be worth it working with them. I wasn't wrong, their responsiveness was impressive. And as we approached the court date, I have never felt as certain, not just certain of the outcome which of course can never be guaranteed but certain of all the effort and sensitivity put into the case, which highly matter to me. I find myself and my family in such a positive place today that I know would not be possible without Jack's expertise, guidance and support. It is my hope that this review helps any person who's in a similar place as I was and that it captures even just a bit of the appreciation I deeply hold for the team. read more

Jack Salisbury is an incredibly caring, kind and brilliant lawyer. He supported me in the most challenging time in my life. He was so on point in court and we won! He has truly changed my life for the better and I am forever grateful. read more

Going through a divorce, I was extremely unhappy with the services provided. I felt overcharged and underserved! Good luck to you

I'm very appreciated and satisfied for this firm's attorney Adam Neufer and his support team's speedy , friendly and on point assistance . I seek out Adam because I had a schedule hearing with the retirement QDRO issue when my divorce attorneys J Brown did not return my phone calls , Adam come to my aid . Adam did not make me felt I was abandon anytime during the process and answered all my questions efficiently and most of all the #1 reason I am writing this and will recommend him to all my " lucky" friends that need a divorce attorney is his No BS on point response . Thank you!! read more

I enlisted the services of Moradi Saslaw to help with two different issues. The first and most difficult was in resolving a dispute related to spousal and child support in my divorce. My ex and I originally retained a mediator to produce our MSA and everything was "amicable" until suddenly it was not. Ms. Moradi looked over the original agreement, found and fixed several ambiguities and helped me abide by the settlement terms. I was never interested in hurting or denying anything to my ex, but at the same time i did not want to be taken advantage of. Kiana helpled me gain a good understanding of the law and produced an addendum to the MSA clearly stating the terms for support . Once my ex and I signed off on that everything settled down and we could both go back to our normal lives. The second more enjoyable task was in setting up a pre-nup. Having already been through the wringer there was no way on God's green earth i was going into a 2nd marriage without laying out the financial implications up front. Kiana was great throughout this process. She helped me understand all the components involved and the trade-offs for each. We ended up with a fairly simple agreement protecting both me and my new spouse (that I sincerely hope will never be needed). read more

Moradi and Saslaw came highly recommended to me, and I must pass along the notes. Kiana Moradi has an unquestionable understanding of Bay Area family law, which includes partnership interests, startup economics, and custody disagreements, especially as they relate to the specific needs and understandings of the San Francisco area. I worked specifically with Dan Hodsdon, who has a demeanor and work style that made me extremely comfortable as we dealt with the closing of a support review that had sat open for over a year. He presented a reasonable demeanor to the other side while making sure my interests were close at heart and close at hand. We were able to settle within months, and he very clearly represented that my goals were in sync with the Court's opinion of the situation. I would highly recommend them for just about any situation. read more

I hired Adam Neufer with Moradi Saslaw Firm to help finalize my divorce and resolve the custody issues with my ex, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the firm or the care &professionalism I was treated with from Adam. He is an excellent lawyer, who treated my case with attentiveness and provided me with sound counsel, responded to my questions and emails very promptly, and successfully finalized my divorce outside of the court. I highly recommend Adam to anyone who is going through a divorce or needs legal counsel for a family law issue. I guarantee that you will not regret it. He is truly an outstanding lawyer, and his track record and the awards he has attest to his excellence. read more

Jennifer Saslaw represented me during a difficult custody dispute post divorce. After a terrible 6+ year custody battle, Jennifer came in and redirected the focus of the case back to the children. She was focused, determined and handled the situation professionally. Jennifer was able to normalize and resolve a very difficult situation and it has remained so for 2+ years. Needless to say, I highly recommend her. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Adam Neufer or the support and service he provided during one of the most challenging times in my life. He was professional, prepared, and present while offering a personal touch during matters of sensitivity and distress. Although he was juggling numerous other cases, I always (yes, always) felt like Adam prioritized me and my situation. He was easy to communicate with and prompt about responding to both calls and emails. No matter how many questions I had, Adam took the time to answer them with thoughtfulness and care. I felt well-represented in the court room and appreciated the tone Adam maintained with judges, opposing attorneys, and his own staff. I emphatically recommend his services to anyone dealing with custody issues and beyond. Adam made an excruciating experience bearable; I am grateful that he was recommended to and represented me during this time. read more

Kiana represented me in my divorce and was fantastic. She's tough when she needs to be, but is also easily approachable and capable of navigating very sensitive issues.

I highly recommend the firm if you have any family law needs. read more

Jennifer has provided tremendous help and support during my case. She is brilliant and charming. Definitely recommended!!!
