I have no words but to give my undying gratitude to Law Office of Atousa Saei! Atousa and Hailey are wonderful STRONG FEMALE lawyers that you need on your side! Without them I wouldn’t have been able to navigate all the legal documents or get the judge to listen to my side. They really stuck their necks out for me. The entire team at Law Office of Atousa Saei is always attentive and available when I had concerns. Thank you so much! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I’ll start by saying that I would 100% recommend Law Offices of Atousa Saei for both Divorce and Child Custody. My divorce involved a very minor child. During my initial consultation with Atousa, she tempered my expectations and didn’t sugar coat anything. She also briefly discussed how she would approach my case. That’s why I decided to go with her. Before filing for divorce, I had discussed everything with my ex spouse and we had a verbal agreement for both divorce and child custody. I thought since we were going the amicable route, the whole process would be relatively simple and we would mainly need the lawyers for paperwork. But that changed AS SOON AS I actually filed for divorce. My ex spouse did multiple really HORRIBLE things. There was a time when I thought I would lose my daughter and had no idea when I would see her next (thankfully I was able to see her pretty soon). Atousa and Hailey were always there by my side and fought really hard for me. They filed all the briefs and paperwork on time. Their strategy was on point. Although my marriage was short term (less than 4 years), it became EXTREMELY complicated because of my ex spouses action. It took over 2 years to finally get everything done (due to reasons beyond their and court’s control). But I’m EXTREMELY happy with the end result and I have full custody of my daughter as of now (and more importantly she’s safe with me). They put in a lot of effort in all the paperwork and their briefs were beautifully written (extremely detailed and full of substance and on point). To sum it up: - Great lawyers (Atousa, Hailey and Shannon) and they really care - Great team (thanks Alice and Wendy) - Great acumen and strategy - They were always by my side - They were always available and responded quickly - All paperwork was done in a timely manner - Great negotiation skills Special thanks to Shannon Payne for her part in the trial. I would never wish for anyone to go through what I did. But if you are going through a divorce, I would 100% recommend them.

Our story is as unique and tough as everyone else's when dealing with restraining orders. When you need an attorney, finding the right one MAY make all the difference! Our lives, safety and wellbeing on the line, in a process I would never wish onto anyone, I needed help big time! My previous attorney was not a proper fit for us, our case was not high on his priority list and I did not feel he took the time to get us nor our case ready. Sometimes, days would pass before I received a reply to my concerns. I desperately and urgently hunted everywhere I could for a better attorney. Searching thru friends and posts, I found Ms. Saei's TEAM! From the moment I connected with Ms. Saei and Ms. Payne, my gut and my heart felt the care, the understanding and the dedication they were willing to put into our urgent matters. From day one, this TEAM has been nothing short of a miracle! It's not a 1-2 person office, it's a team of dedicated and knowledgeable, experienced attorneys and assistants to help you and your case and let me say, they all support you! I never went more than an hour or two to receive a reply, I never felt like we did not matter. Our case was immediately put into high priority, the office AS A WHOLE worked together on getting us ready for court, answered ALL questions and concerns I ever had. Ms. Saei and Ms. Payne figured out an amazing plan of action, they put things into motion and followed thru. I was always given the BIG picture, good and bad and everything in between. From the bottom of my heart, I am sooooooo grateful for this! This alone helped this single mama feel at peace knowing I am doing everything I can to fight the right way for our lives and safety. It allowed me to remain as calm and collected as possible under the circumstances. They were on top of every move, every deadline, every whiteness, every research! WOW what a research team! Ms. Wendy, Ms. Hailey and so many others in the office always stayed on top of directions from the attorneys and assisted me in understanding the process, guided me thru what and how things needed to be done. Even knowing that our case could go left or right, I put my trust in this team and I am so glad I did! No attorney can guarantee the outcome, ever! Don't try to cut corners when you have a pressing matter, most of the time, you get what you pay for. When dealing with court and attorneys, a plain Jane cannot compare to what attorneys are made of. I appreciate this TEAM so much and am so grateful to you ALL! We can breathe a bit easier now and we owe it to you and your hard work, thank you so much! If you have a concern, a matter that needs an attorney, ..... you will NOT be disappointed by this team!

I hired Atousa and her team to get me out of an extremely sticky situation with my ex. I had already filed for divorce on my own and was failing miserably at getting the courts to move it forward when my ex was unwilling to respond to it. Additionally, I was in serious need of a restraining order. Once I retained Atousa and her staff it felt like everything finally started progressing. They quickly jumped into my case, got me a restraining order and started getting my divorce case to move in the right direction. Her team was sensitive to my situation and very polite/empathetic. Additionally, they communicated well and acted promptly. Hiring Atousa and her staff was the best money I've ever spent. I was in a downward spiral of feeling trapped and unable to move on with my life. As soon as Atousa and her team jumped in, I was immediately able to start moving on. Atousa - I couldn't be more grateful for you and your team. You took so much stress off of my plate and allowed me to move forward with my life. THANK YOU!

After discovering in mediation that my ex-husband is maliciously working on the side with an attorney, I found myself in need of an attorney to protect myself against him and was forced to go through the court system. I quickly had to learn what to look for and how to choose the right family law attorney. Atousa is a brilliant, proactive, compassionate, resourceful, ethical, honorable, reasonable, and logical attorney. She is extremely dedicated to doing the best for her clients depending on their personal situation. She is constantly reviewing the case, analyzing, and evaluating the best course of action, legally, ethically, and financially. While divorce can be an emotionally taxing event in one’s life, once you decide it has to be done, I highly recommend having Atousa by your side.

Oh man... .where do I even start? Atousa and her team saved my life. Before hiring them, I was paying alimony, facing possibly losing my son, and already googling ways to live out of my car because I felt so lost - financially & legally. Her law firm whipped my case into shape almost immediately. After our first day in court, alimony was cancelled, my ex had to start paying me child support AND pay me back for the alimony I was wrongfully ordered to pay. They are extremely ethical and kept me on the right path even on days where I was feeling defeated and vindictive. Their honesty and straightforwardness kept me on track and focusing on my ultimate goal of keeping my son safe and having as much custody as possible. They aren't all about "attacking the ex". A couple of them are mothers as well and they understood that the most important thing was my son and ultimately keeping the peace with his dad. I've had a lot of money issues over the last 3 years since my divorce started and they've always worked with me and suggested routes for me to save money in legal fees. (READ: saving money on legal fees, meant less money for them; yet they ALWAYS gave me these types of suggestions). My case got the attention it deserved. I never had to follow up with them to make sure they were still working on my case. I never felt like they forgot about me or I wasn't important enough for them to deal with. Every step of the way, I've felt like I've been going through this with friends by my side (shout-out to Nisha!) who really cared about my outcome. I cannot recommend them enough. Do yourself a favor and go with the Law Offices of Atousa Saei. Because as they say "nobody wins in a divorce" but with Atousa & Nisha - I sure feel like I did! ;)

I walked in the office clueless of how the process of divorce works. Every step of the process and possible outcomes were explained to me, and my divorce was finalized earlier than the given expected date. I dealt with 4 different people at their office, and every one of them was very nice and professional.

Thank you Atousa! I don’t think I could have been in a worse position before coming here. I had lost my son, my home, my reputation, and everything important to me. Thanks to Atousa I got my son back, my home back, and my life back. Even after my ex filed for two restraining orders Atousa and her team were able to prove them false and baseless. They were able to get this divorce/custody battle on the right track and resolved. My son is doing so much better now and it wouldn’t have happened without Atousa and the rest of her team. Through the whole process she was very kind, understanding, and compassionate. It helps a lot through the emotional rollercoaster of divorce.

Obviously when one chooses to leave a 'life' partner and start the divorce process the anxiety is intense. Choosing a lawyer is the first stressful part of that long process. The right choice of that lawyer, your guide through this experience, will dictate your sanity on many levels. Lucky for me I made the perfect choice of lawyer in Atousa Saei. Firstly she is a wonderful, sweet, kind, generous and compassionate human being. She is also extremely knowledgable, thorough and 100% honest. Not only was she a sage guide on the law itself but also she would make a great psychiatrist as well as she was able to read the mental state of my ex partner like a book and as a result use that insight in the settlement process. But above all, Atousa saw me as a human being going through an emotionally taxing experience and treated me like one. On no occasion did I feel like just a client that was being kept open just to be billed (like so many horror stories I have heard). In fact with Atousa it was the opposite. She moved quickly and efficiently through the settlement process to keep my costs to a minimum. If you are unfortunate enough to split with your 'life' partner then your choice of 'divorce' partner is so important. You could choose no better than Atousa! I could not possibly recommend her highly enough!

I never thought I would need an attorney until I got served with a child custody modification. So, I decided that if I was going to hire an attorney as might as well hire the best. I search the web, I found and met with several attorneys and no one really met my expectations until I met Atousa. I knew right away she was going to be my attorney, so I hired her services. She was great when we met for the first time, but little did I know how Amazing she really is. She had my and my kids best interest at heart. She is not only smart, but aggressive in the most professional way. I know that she will be the one to represent me from now on.

We had a situation that was going to be an up hill battle and it looked as if it could be on going. But with the expert advice and the plan that they put in place for us worked out exactly as planned. They know there stuff, hands down and they play no games. I'll just say this, Atousa is the teammate you need and not the opponent you want to go up against...Atousa and her team are the difference makers.

Atousa has and continues to represent me in my divorce & custody case; she is my first legal representation in any matter. I researched upward of a hundred attorneys and interviewed over a dozen firms before selecting Ms. Saei. With resounding confidence, I can assert that I am very happy with my decision. My case deals with a combative, manipulative, and high conflict ex-spouse. I knew that reaching closure wasn’t going to be easy. The entire process has been flooded with blatantly false accusation, over/understated half-truths, alienation from my child, and highly unethical / unprofessional conduct from opposing counsel. Navigating this custody and dissolution process has been the most difficult experience of my life, through which Atousa and her team has stood solidly behind me. The first time our pleadings were heard by our case judge (not a stand-in), we quickly dissolved a bogus, tactical restraining order and secured near equal custody. Through this process, Atousa has always struck me as well grounded, pragmatic, and ultimately very effective. Beyond the functional attributes of legal representation, she communicates with a strong, compassionate, and warm demeanor. Whether your case is simple or complex, I would highly recommend the team at Law Offices of Atousa Saei. We have a significant road ahead before this is all over. For now I have my daughter back and moving forward I’m confident in the team I have on my side. Thank you Atousa, Kian, Anna, Jonathan, and Scott!!
