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.

Made a difficult divorce process easier to understand and navigate. Mrs. Jafari is assertive and yet very personable. Mrs. Jafari was very hands on and personally made all the court appearances. I felt supported by this law firm and the staff is wonderful.

I cannot recommend Jafari Law & Mediation highly enough. From the very beginning, Padideh handled my domestic violence case with exceptional professionalism, compassion, and expertise. During one of the most difficult times in my life, she made me feel heard, protected, and supported every step of the way. Thank you!
