Ms. Ebrahimi is an excellent divorce lawyer even in the most difficult situations. She is compassionate and always available to her clients and tenacious in fighting for them. I have recommended her to several friends and colleagues all who have been very pleased with her services.

She does not care wining or not. She wants to make money as much as possible. She put 30 days in Retainer and invoice after 30 days. Cannot dispute. She barely uses parallel work, charges lawyer rate. eg. 1.5 hour signing settlement, she charged 3 hours, met her 5 minutes, she charged half hour. Invoice came after 30 days. She said I could not ask her due to over 30 days. 1. First meeting, I told her 10 years old daughter wanted 50-50, why fought? She said judge not listening to a child. After she reviewed my case, she said she was going to win my daughter. In the end when asking trial after spending a lot money, she said now your daughter did not want me, judge listens to your child. She mislead me. 2. When concerning how case going, she threaten me to withdraw many times in the middle of court proceeding. 3. At late stage, my EX asked to add half dozen witnesses in the third round INTERROGATORIES, almost finished. I strongly opposed it. She advised me to allow him, which opened the flood gate of lies, completely out of control. She sit in half dozen depositions making more money. She did not know what to do with all the lies! It terribly weakened my case. She did not care whether I won the case or not. She wants money. 4. INTERROGATORIES She charged me 57.2 hours on Discovery, $20,020. A. She rewrote what I spent months writing with ton of details. It was returned as “vague” or “too broad”. She had to change back to my version. She made a lot money. A senior lawyer, does not know how to respond to INTERROGATORIES. B. She was late to submit to my EX lawyer. Then she lost the MOTION To COMPELL. Judge asked me to pay my EX lawyer fee. She still charged me due to her fault. C. Closed to trial, I asked her why my EX’s lawyer asked TAXes, not her. Then she sent out an INTERROGATORIES with all other missing questions, of course charging me. Because it is too closed to trial, my EX’s lawyer refused to answer. Considering 57.2 hours on INTERROGATORIES, $20,020, she still missed the basic questions. 5. My EX filed Protective Order. I was ordered out of house with only 5 days cloths. My EX signed a court order, allowing me go home to pick up my belongings with my EX’s permission. My EX refused to the end, even with a court order! From the beginning, Feb, to the end, Aug, she spent my money keeping asking my Ex lawyer. Court clerk told me I can call Keep Peace sheriff with the court order. She said no. A. After we settled the divorce, she told me she would help to get my belongings. B. All my financial statements were at home. I had to answer INTERROGATORIES. She made me spend a lot of unnecessary money. C. I had to buy everything I had at home, for daily living, spent a lot of unnecessary money. 6. I paid her $42221, I lost children, house, saving. After case over, I had to beg her to make A “free call” to a reunification therapist! 7. On mediation day, my EX’s lawyer draft the agreement. She did not help me negociate. My evil EX denied PRENAP, SEPARTION, took four houses rent for a year, living in my house for free, I had to rent an two bedrooms apt, out of my pocket. I had to buy everything since I left the house only with 5 days clothes. She advised me to pay my EX double than my suggestion. Another example, my EX played court game, filed Protective Order and violation. My 10 years old daughter did not see me for 4 months. She got hurt a lot and never be the same. Why do I to share Reunification Therapist? The whole day, my EX’s lawyer draft the agreement. She told me she was working on another case while waiting for a big agreement. She spent many hours calling and working on another case. But she charged me all the hours, except one hour. She did not negotiate anything for me. I did it all. She did not give me any advice. 8. My EX refused to take deposition. He said if I agree 50-50, no child support, no need to go to trial. She made another mistake. She did not ask him to sign. We missed the deposition for a master lier. The agreement I got far off from 50-50.

She is the top attorney when it comes to divorce and family law.
