Matthew Buttacavoli is one of the partners he was not only knowledgeable he was calming and specific in his direction.

I was facing an incredibly high-conflict family law matter that was destined for long and expensive litigation. I had been dealing with a very difficult & extremely high conflict situation for years, with long litigation in the past. As a result, I fully believed I would only obtain a reasonable & favorable resolution through court. A peaceful resolution seemed impossible. so, I felt like I needed a judge to step in and save me... But I was wrong. Matthew's negotiation skills are truly unmatched. He impressed me so much! I had read a review about Matthew that said something like, "Just pull out the popcorn and watch him work." Well, that was my experience with him as well! When it was action-time, it was like watching a movie! When dealing with the other side, he's very persuasive and his points are compelling. He had a way of articulating & advocating my position that they couldn't argue with. And not only did he get me a huge win, he was somehow able to help improve our co-parenting relationship, which I had believed to be too far gone. My situation was unique, nuanced, and very complicated, but he came up with a truly wise & highly strategic plan, and executed it perfectly from start to finish. Matthew is also very mindful of the costs. He purposefully didn't just 'run the clock'; he made sure to be perfectly prepared for everything, while at the same time hedging against extra costs. Matthew, Vicky, and Christina actively worked to find a path toward a settlement that I never thought was possible. They were absolute rockstars from start to finish. They are meticulous with details, always responsive, very professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Matthew and his team achieved what my current wife and I thought was impossible. It's been over a week since our victory has been official, and we are still pinching ourselves! My family has been celebrating for over a week, and we're still celebrating! It feels unreal! If you want a lawyer that can truly fight for you, supports you, has unmatched negotiation skills, who will take a very strategic approach, can talk sense into the most difficult & unreasonable situations, and who genuinely cares, then you need to choose Matthew & his team! No matter what your situation looks like, he's more than equipped. He really has a way of cutting through the noise of a high-conflict case to focus on what actually matters. By reaching a settlement without having to litigate, Matthew, Vicky and Christina saved my family an incredible amount of time, stress, and money. Walking away with a victory for my family without the stress & cost of a courtroom battle is the greatest gift Matthew and his team could have given us. If you are looking for a legal team that is sharp, ethical, and capable of achieving the impossible, you need to hire them. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business.

My consultation lasted less than 10 minutes and felt extremely rushed. I came prepared with notes…read moreand background information, but I was repeatedly interrupted and told to get straight to the question. Because my situation involves sensitive family and safety concerns, I expected a more patient and thorough conversation. Instead, the consultation felt dismissive, and I left without feeling heard or properly advised. Overall, this was a very bad experience. I would not recommend this attorney to clients dealing with complex or emotionally difficult family law matters who need time to explain their situation.

To the Team at Moshtael Family Law,…read more In August 2025, my life entered one of its darkest chapters. In an effort to relocate our children to a non-Hague Convention country, my ex-wife filed domestic violence allegations against me. A Temporary Restraining Order was granted, and from that moment forward, everything I knew about my life was turned upside down. After working with two different attorneys without finding the direction and confidence I desperately needed, I was fortunate to find Mr. Moshtael. That was the turning point in my case--and in my life. From the very beginning, Mr. Moshtael's reputation in court, his professionalism, his compassion, and his sense of responsibility gave me a level of reassurance I had not felt in months. For the first time since the TRO was issued, I felt that I was in capable hands. After nearly six months of struggle and uncertainty, the domestic violence allegations against me were dismissed. The team fought diligently to protect my rights and to ensure that justice prevailed. Words cannot fully express the depth of my gratitude. I would like to especially thank Mr. Moshtael, Attorney Reza Bayat, Assistant Tia Makakaufaki, Clerk Nicole Martinez, and Legal Secretary Victoria Mathus. Each of you worked tirelessly on my case, often staying late and going above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. In particular, I want to express my deepest appreciation to Mr. Bayat. Despite being an attorney at a major law firm, he personally invested extraordinary time and care into my case. Understanding the financial burden I was under, he worked late into Friday evenings and continued working through the weekend to help move my case toward settlement, all while maintaining constant communication with me. That level of dedication and empathy is something I will never forget. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am for everything this firm has done for me. If you are facing any family law matter, do not take unnecessary detours. I cannot recommend Moshtael Family Law highly enough.

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.

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.

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.
