Before I met Robert, I had never spent more than six hours per week with my eight month old son. I tried to fight for more time but was never able to succeed. I felt very lost and scared about what might happen because I had absolutely no understanding of the family court system. My first attorney would barely take my calls or inform me of what was going on. I contacted Robert through his website and online was on the phone with him later that same day. I explained my situation to him and he said that he thought he might be able to help me. Even after our first conversation I already felt better about everything. I met Robert at his office to discuss my case in greater detail. That was a meeting that I will never forget. After listening to me, Robert explained my options and the possibilities of what might happen. He was extremely upfront and honest with me. He then told me that he only accepts clients who are serious about their cases and who are willing to put in the hard work. This made understand that the only way Robert would fight for me was if I was willing to fight as hard, if not harder, for myself and my son. Right then, I knew that there was no one else I wanted to represent me. Robert immediately went to work preparing my case. Since things move slowly in family court, it took a while for my case to go in front of a judge. During that time, Robert did an excellent job of gathering all the facts and details he needed and preparing me for the fight that was ahead. He did a wonderful job of keeping my expectations realistic and kept me focused on the big picture. When our day in court came, I felt very confident and comfortable with Robert fighting for me. At the very first preliminary hearing, Robert was able to increase my time to include overnights every other weekend even though I live in San Diego and my son lives in Orange County. Robert was so well prepared that he knew every aspect of case inside and out. On several instances during the hearing, he even quoted multiple family law codes on the spot. This showed me the level of dedication that Robert was willing to give to my case was unparalleled. Throughout the entire process of my custody battle and divorce, Robert won on every single motion and argument that was made. He and his entire team at Farzad Family Law were so professional, courteous, and caring. Every one of his associates was always willing to take the time to make sure that completely understood everything and that all of my questions were fully answered no matter how big or how small. I now get to see me son on a very frequent and regular basis and I play a significant role in his life. I will be eternally grateful for everything that Robert has done for my family. It never felt like he treated me as just another client. He has a way of making it feel personal, as if you have a really good friend fighting in your corner. I will never entrust my case with anyone but Robert and his entire team at Farzad Family Law. I highly recommend hiring him before you find yourself going against him.

I searched for about 4 months and talked to a lot of attorneys for my case to get custody of my 14 year old daughter. Finally I talked to Robert 3 times before I said yes to taking my case. I have had a lot of bad experiences with attorneys going up against my ex-husbands attorney. I was very scared that it would turn out like it has in the past with my case getting dismissed. Robert and Matthew reassured me that they knew how to fight for my daughter and I. I felt very assured and comfortable. This case that was supposed to be very easy considering my daughters age and her persisting she wanted to live with me, turned into a long drawn out and very expensive ordeal (not Matthews fault at all). I could not have asked for a better attorney. He is very well invested in what is in the best interest of the child and he fought for my daughter with everything that he had. He became invested which by the way, I knew was very hard on him. He tried to get the opposing counsel to settle and agree on custody because for my daughter, things were getting worse mentally and emotionally for her. He tried very hard to end all of it for my daughters sake. That meant a whole lot to me. The outcome of my case was when we finally went to trial, Matthew and the opposing attorney talked to the judge. Matthew concentrated on what was in the best interest for my daughter because opposing counsel was making it about me. I was very proud and impressed with how hard he fought to keep it about my daughter. I ended up with custody because my ex-husband decided not to put our daughter through anymore of it. Matthew was very sympathetic towards my ex because the decision that he made was in no way an easy one. I was very impressed with how he handled everything and I gained a lot of respect for him as an attorney and a person throughout this whole process. Matthew is a really great man and attorney. He made me very proud. I certainly could not have done this without him. I am very grateful and I will miss him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the life I lead today is due to the work of Robert Farzad. I was ensnared in a deadly trap by a vengeful ex-wife intent on depriving me of the wealth I worked very hard for while at the same time alienating me from my children. The process was never-ending, I was slowly bleeding to death under unaffordable payments and I was deprived of seeing my young son. Then, I got smart and did what I should have done originally. I fired my existing lawyer and hired Robert. From that point on, despite my ex’s efforts at obstructing the process with every means at her disposal, the ending was already written, and all that remained was for the narrative that Robert promised to play out. Robert cleverly maneuvered my ex into binding arbitration. He was impeccably prepared for the hearing and literally eviscerated my ex while she was under oath. By the time he was done, the arbitrator saw my ex for who she really was. The judgment reflected this in its entirety. I was awarded virtually all remaining assets, visitation was set according to my wishes and support cut to next to nothing. After the judgment was rendered, Robert worked relentlessly to enforce it despite my ex’s efforts to obstruct. Finally, he obtained full custody of my son for me. Throughout the process, Robert was very fair with his billing, and I feel that the money I spent was worth it. Divorce is a life-changing experience, and the end result will determine the quality of your life. If you don’t hire Robert, you are making a mistake, one that you will have to live with for many years. He has my highest recommendation. PDC

After going through two attorneys that did nothing for me but run up my bill, I was blessed to find Robert Farzad and his law firm. I have never met an attorney who was so sharp and intelligent. He ALWAYS looked out for the best interest of me and my daughter. Once I retained him I was finally able to sleep through the night and my stress levels were low. I never had to worry about anything. Robert is a genius when it comes to the law. His staff is super friendly and professional. It’s hard to find lawyers that have hearts anymore, but you can count on him. My case was very, very complex, I was so impressed with his strategic planning and how well he followed thru. If he says he’ll call you at a certain time he’s always on the ball and never late. I have had my share of lawyers and if all lawyers were like him this world would be a better place. I have moved out of state and wish he practiced out here. I still have to call him time to time for advice and he always directs me in the right direction. There aren’t very many lawyers that care about you after they get their money but he does. I honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through my divorce without Robert and his hard working team!

I am writing this review on behalf of my friend who wanted to leave a review for Farzad, but wanted to stay anonymous at the same time. Farzad was very friendly and welcoming upon meeting him. I had a family issue that needed consultation, and he was very informative about my options and the possible costs that would come with hiring him. Ultimately, he was very detailed in explaining all my options and after the consultation was over, he told me how much his retainer was and that his honest opinion was not to hire him (because he saw that as the best option). He also ended up refunding my consultation fee, which he absolutely did not need to do, but was very nice of him. I would definitely recommend seeing Farzad for any family issues, as he is informative and honest.

In the past, I have had bad experiences with divorce attorneys, whom I spent fortunes on. Most divorce attorneys are lazy, ill prepared and bill you to death. They show up in court not knowing your case or any details. Robert is an amazing attorney. Robert gets every detail, he prepares like nothing I have ever seen, and he is an encyclopedia of legal knowledge. Also he is enjoyable to work with and a real advocate who wants to win your case. If you have serious money at stake, he is the attorney that I would recommend in a moment. He is not cheap, but he is worth the money. He won my case, not sure there are true winners in family court, and got me the best outcome possible.

I highly recommend Robert Farzad and Farzad & Mazarei. He is well versed on divorce, child custody and family law. He is accountable and expects the same from you. Robert insists on total honesty. He creates a well thought out plan for your divorce case. He handles himself professionally at all times. All you have to do is watch him come to court with his trial briefs typed up to know he is totally professionally prepared. He won some amazing awards for me in my divorce case. Most of all he saved me and my children from the abuse we were suffering. I respect Robert Farzad, his office staff and attorneys. I have had the best representation in Orange County.

I was referred to Farzad & Mazarei by a close friend of mine. From the first phone call to the final court appearance, the professionalism and attention to detail of the staff were nothing short of fantastic. They kept me informed and most importantly, they got me results. I have to thank Matt and Holly most of all, they really got me through a difficult situation. I’d recommend Farzad & Mazarei to anyone going through a divorce, custody, separation and want to get the results they know can’t be had without professional help.

When I contacted Farzad Family Law to handle my divorce there was one thing that was important to me: I did not want to fight with my ex-wife verbally on the way out. A couple are married for many years and the last thing they do is say a lot of vile things that they later regret and have to live with. FFL handled this for us very well and I highly recommend them.
