Farzad & Ochoa Family Law Attorneys, LLP - Costa Mesa, California

Robert Farzad and amazing staff were a vibrant light at the end of what I thought was going to be a dark, rough road. Having to realize that I was a victim of domestic violence and my children victims of child abuse, was not an easy pill to swallow, but it was the truth. Robert spend countless hours with me, educating me about this road of restraining orders, child support, child custody and divorce that I was about to enter into. Robert is a straight shooter and never beat around the bush. He was genuinely concerned about the safety and well being of my children and myself. He’s an honest man and did not believe in spending unnecessary dollars where they weren’t going to matter. I was kept well informed by him and his paralegal every step of the way.
I had heard a good lawyer is hard to find, lucky for me I found him on the first try. Robert Farzad and his powerhouse staff really do care. My children are young and I know this journey is it over BUT I do know that they are who I will return to in the future.

I truly do not know where to begin when it comes to Robert and the farzad company. From the first time calling and meeting with Robert I felt extremely comfortable with expressing my concerns and doubts. Robert quickly gained my confidence not only within my self but within the justice system all together. Robert and his team especially Shawn at the San Diego location have been nothing but wonderful to me during this difficult time period I had . Words will never be able to express my gratitude towards everyone at the farzad company . THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, you will always hold a special place in my heart .

If you want a team to back you up and have full reassurance on dealing with your case , you can confidently trust them .

There is much more goodness to share about Farzad’s team than I can possibly say here. My counsel was always well prepared and thorough in their work. Their main priority was preserving the best interest of my sons. They knew the issues as if they were dealing with them first hand. It was a difficult and complicated case which the court was not always clear on. Gratefully, Farzad’s team consistently spoke up and advocated for my children as if they were their own.

I communicated a desire to eliminate lengthy, unnecessary communications in order to save my budget for legal work and the Farzad team did all they could to minimize costs. I believe with any other counsel I would have paid thousands more for the outcome.

Because my legal counsel carefully read every word of the final court order, we averted serious attempts by opposing counsel to alter the agreement in their own favor. My sons will never know the amazing efforts put forth by the Farzad team, but I will. I am forever grateful for their efforts and talents.

You wake up one day, and suddenly your spouse wants to initiate a divorce. The shock and panic overwhelm you as you receive the divorce documents, feeling blindsided by the person you thought would be by your side forever. These are challenging times, especially for fathers in such situations.

After carefully researching various aspects of family law, the petitioner's selection of legal counsel, and finding the best fit for my situation, the folks at Farzad and Ochoa simply hit the mark. From the first moment I had my consultation call with Mr. Farzad until the end of the process, their level of professionalism, organization, knowledge, and assertiveness gave me the assurance that I would have a fair fighting chance to be the father and mentor my two-year-old son deserves.

To those going through a similar heartache and pain, I empathize with you. Overcoming this obstacle is possible, but it requires a change in mindset throughout the process. Emotions will run high, but it's essential to let logic guide your decisions rather than immediate reactions. Mr. Farzad helped me understand what to expect and what steps I needed to take to maximize my parenting time and protect my assets.

Reflecting on my experience and working with Farzad and Ochoa, here are some important takeaways:
1. First and foremost, there is no winner in divorce. Do not approach this with a winner-take-all mentality. Flexibility and the willingness to concede will help you get what you are truly after.

2. Ensure your finances, important personal records, evidence, and living situation are in order. This will greatly benefit you and allow the team to handle your case more efficiently.

3. Be diligent in reviewing and understanding the counsel you receive. Farzad and Ochoa are a fantastic resource and have a network of people that can help you make informed decisions.

I would like to thank everyone at Farzad and Ochoa, especially Mr. Vasich, Ms. Kim, Mrs. Borja-Lott, and of course, Mr. Farzad, for their assistance in this matter. I am truly blessed and grateful for such a competent team, and I will forever cherish the parenting time the court granted me to watch my little boy grow up. My son and I appreciate it more than words can describe.

Family law can be a very difficult and challenging endeavor. Nicole Nuzzo is a detailed listener, flawless litigator and expert negotiator. She is compassionate sees the full picture. I would confidently recommend her to anyone who needs help navigating a divorce as well as looking into a prenuptial agreements.

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.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Robert and his staff. I contacted Robert via email around 1:30am out of desperation and I received a phone call same day. I was immediately put at ease by speaking with Robert regarding my case. My ex-husband had filed for full custody of our daughter for the second time in five years. Needless to say, I was in a state of shock and disbelief and desperate for help.

Robert and I met a few days later and after reviewing all of the information I had to disprove the allegations, he took on my case. Four months later, my ex-husband not only dropped his full custody suit, but settled out of court to modifications on my terms. Robert, being the knowledgeable and stellar attorney he is, compromised with opposing counsel and my ex-husband, and managed to get my ex to agree to $10,000 in contribution towards my attorney fees.

Robert and his staff are very forthcoming with information. They are very straight forward and always kept me up to date on new developments. I felt completely safe and knew that every person working on my case had my best interest at heart; as well as my daughter. I wouldn't have had the outcome I did without the care and representation of Robert Farzad.

I highly recommend Farzad Family Law to anyone that is starting or going through a family law matter.

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.
