Sarieh Family Law - Orange County

What impressed me most about Sarieh Law was how well they handled my alimony case. Even though my spouse hadn’t worked in years, they made a strong argument for a reasonable three-year alimony term instead of a lifetime order, and the judge agreed. I highly recommend Sarieh Law for their skill and great results.

Sarieh Family Law expertly handled my divorce when my partner tried to downplay their construction business’s value. They brought in a forensic accountant who uncovered hidden accounts and transactions, making sure my settlement reflected the business’s true worth.

Sarieh Family Law guided us efficiently through mediation, protecting my interests while keeping things calm. In just two sessions, we resolved the house, cars, and my daughter’s college fund at a fraction of the expected cost.

I have kids from a previous marriage, my ex had kids from theirs, and we had one together. Trying to figure out who owed what for which kid's expenses during our divorce was a nightmare. My ex kept trying to argue they shouldn't have to contribute to my older kids' stuff even though we'd been doing it for years. Sarieh Family Law laid out everything clearly for the judge, what was agreed upon during the marriage, what's fair now, and what the law actually says. The final order made sense and didn't punish anyone. My kids aren't stuck in the middle of financial arguments anymore.

They caught my ex lying about his income during our divorce proceedings. He was claiming he only made $60K a year, but Sarieh Law pulled his business records and found he was actually bringing in twice that much. They subpoenaed bank statements and even got copies of contracts he thought were hidden. When we went to court, they laid out all the evidence and the judge was not happy about his dishonesty. I ended up with way more support than I would have gotten if we'd just taken his word for it.

Two years after my divorce, I returned to modify spousal support, and they made the process easy. The payments were reduced without unnecessary conflict, and everything was handled smoothly and stress-free.

Justin Bradford Snell served my alimony termination case. It was a little complicated because of my early retirement at the age of 55. I had worked as a general contractor for 30 years, and was physically unable to work because of low back chronic pain and impaired vision. When I called him for the first time, he spent time listening and understanding my current and past situation. He never said time up for free consulting. I had a very good feeling about his knowledge, experience and personality over the phone. I am not native English speaker, so my wife helped me to translate from legal English to ESL level English all the time. After then, we visited his office, got a contract and started communicating in more detail. Marlene Montano, Senior Paralegal was also kind and a good communicator. Opposing lawyer was aggressive, but I never had any anxiety/fear since he was my lawyer. Justin was conservative and never told me only good scenarios, gave me multiple different scenarios. He also gave me guidance to prepare material documents so I can prove my physical condition and income changed. His advice was always very clear, all timing to submit court documents was based on good strategy, and he let me spend enough time to do homework. We had about 3 month to prepare for the hearing date, and had frequently communicated at remote meetings. When I was working on requested discovery documents, my ex-wife decided to negotiate. In a day, Justin arranged for both parties to sign a Stipulation and Order Document and submitted it to the court. I expected my case to take longer than a year, but all of a sudden it disappeared quickly. I still can't believe what happened , but all my pain was gone and feeling so peaceful every day. I never wanted to have a lawyer in my life, but now I learned only a good lawyer can protect me and change my life. Justin is more like a human lawyer for people who need help.
