Five stars just aren’t enough. We worked with Hamid Naraghi for several months and he helped us through navigating the complexities of a business partnership. He was fair, precise, reliable, easy to communicate with, kind, and most importantly, competent! You cannot go wrong with this firm.

We have worked with Hamid for our business partnership challenges and he helped us a lot with his great approach and patience. He is great and very easy to work with. Thank you for everything that you have done for us.

Great Service!

Simply the best, Hamid Naraghi goes above and beyond for his clients. Professional and knowledgeable during the entire process. I recommend without any hesitation and will certainly continue to use this firms services when needed.

I have been dealing with my long overdue divorce proceedings for over 2 years. If it wasn’t for the whole team: Bill, Amir, Hamid and Elvira I don’t believe I will ever see the end of the tunnel. They have sorted through and gotten agreements from the opposing side despite the stalling efforts of my soon to be ex and his inexperienced lawyer. They know their stuff, are assertive and strategic about getting me outcomes even if I hesitantly agree at times. They are there through my crying melt downs and colorful language use taking my lead and navigating me through all the complex financial and court processes. They are worth their weight in gold and I chose to pay them rather than give up what I’m rightfully owed!

As an Attorney who has been practicing law for over 28 years, when it unfortunately came time to retain the services of a family law attorney for myself, the choice was clear. I chose Nader, Naraghi & Woodcock since I had known the managing partner Hamid Naraghi for 38 years and knew his high standards of ethics and knowledge of the law. I was advised by colleagues that I should retain local counsel here in the Bay Area instead of a firm down in Los Angeles, but I chose to go with my gut and I made the right decision. The law in California is the same whether in Los Angeles or Sonoma. It was clear from the beginning until the end that picking the right firm to represent you in a time of crisis is the most important decision you can make, and I made the right decision and am glad I followed my instincts.

I have been a client for more than 12 years and 100% recommend them to everyone! I did my homework before finding Nader, Naraghi & Woodcock and am so glad I did… I wouldn’t go anywhere else! They helped me with my divorce as well as ongoing issues with my ex. Their office is extremely knowledgeable, courteous and efficient. They give great advice, even if it isn’t what I want to hear… it’s what I need to hear and effectively move forward.

I am so happy I went with Nader Naraghi and Woodcock even though this is obviously not a happy situation. I have been experiencing the challenge of a high conflict separation these last 4 years, and I am so thankful to have Bill. He is knowledgeable, gives good honest advice, and moves so cleanly. Another thing I am so impressed with is his ability to move strategically without a speck of manipulativeness, inauthenticity, cold calculation or any of the shadow aspects of strategy that are not aligned with my values. . . High conflict people know how to mask, obscure what’s going on, and trigger people — when I hear of other friend’s experiences, it seems like many lawyers get locked into pointless lose-lose power struggles that kick up dirt, obscure what is really going on, and cost unnecessary time and money. Bill moves so differently. He is so reasonable, calm, straightforward, and clean. I have a lot of love and heart shaped eyes for their paralegal Elvira and others in this firm such as Amir and Hamid as well who are all supportive.

I have spent way to much money on 2 other Lawyers before finding them. While the other Lawyers I had, had a lower hourly rate, they were "garbage" compared to Bill Woodcock. Yes, it was hard in the beginning to swallow the price tag, but the Service I have received is top notch and was worth every penny. When I say Service that means: 1) Legal knowledge and navigation of everything involving a divorce including being human. 2) Business ethics: Very transparent communication. If things were not clear for Bill, or Elvira, they do not pretend to know everything, and have billed me accordingly. I never had the impression that I got billed for something that wasn't necessary or unfair or just raking up the bill for the sake of "printing" money for them, in other words "lazy". (unlike with all of my other Lawyer experiences) I can wholeheartedly say, I have gotten a really good deal with Bill, Elvira and their partners as they have in my eyes mastered to run their firm as a firm to be of service for their clients first in mind. I would 100% work with him again, plus refer all my friends and family to him. PS: Also, to be clear: I have not been compensated for anything I said here.

It was very important for me to work with lawyers that were not only seasoned experts, but that had integrity. When I talked to Hamid and Bill about handling my divorce, it was obvious that they are extremely knowledgeable and experienced in family law and are comfortable handling complex cases. Moreover, it was clear their values aligned with mine. Their confidence and ability to handle my divorce provided a “buffer” and allowed me to emotionally step away from the opposing’s lies and scheming and move on with my life in peace as much as possible. The head of the firm is Hamid and it’s clear he’s very knowledgeable and truly cares about his clients (as does everyone else in his firm). The first time I was in court with Bill, his professionalism and integrity stood out in stark contrast to the opposing, which confirmed I had made the right choice for a law firm. At some of the most upsetting moments, Amir has been a pragmatic rock of reason and extremely supportive. He once said “We will walk with you every step of the way” and that has stuck in my head throughout. The hidden gem of the firm is paralegal Elvira – she is efficient, organized and so friendly that you would want her as part of your family. This team will not disappoint if it’s important for you to have both expertise AND uncompromising ethics.

I have been a client of NNW for several years now and have used their services exclusively in a very lengthy and contentious divorce. The staff is exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. I have always been able to count on my them to respond to calls and correspondence promptly and to have answers or information I need in a very timely manner. I have been impressed with their breadth and depth of knowledge in family law and I have referred several friends and associates to them who have had equally positive experiences in their respective proceedings (thankfully much shorter than my own). My personal attorney, Bill Woodcock, is a well-practiced litigator and has a solid grasp of the statutes and case laws, making him a very effective advocate in the court room. He has represented me in multiple hearings during my divorce. I say this as someone who works in a litigious environment daily (albeit not family law) and has worked with numerous other attorneys on unrelated matters. I have certainly seen both high and low quality representation and I am highly satisfied with Bill and NNW for my own personal needs. Critically, I have never felt like I was being taken advantage of financially or that the firm was trying to nickel and dime me for their work. I do firmly believe you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to professional services, and my engagement with NNW had been well worth it. The work product I’ve received for my money has been an outstanding investment. I almost never leave reviews for anything and I am not receiving anything in return for this review. However, in this instance, I felt it worthwhile to strongly recommend this firm for any legal needs in the scope of their representation.

A team with extensive wealth of knowledge, clear communication and excellent support. I would highly recommend them.
