I called attorney Jafari when I had a Domestic Violence case against me based on false allegations . I felt confident in her abilities from the beginning and really trusted her expertise. She got it DISMISSED for me! I then also hired her to help with my divorce and she was totally 100% on her game with communication, filings, etc. I would recommend her to everyone especially someone in a high conflict divorce/legal case.
