Hyden-Zakheim

I had a wonderful and very pleasant experience. The lawyers were honest, forthcoming, and most important — everything was transparent! Thanks again, job well done!

In September of 2008 I was looking for representation for my divorce. I spoke with a number of attorneys who specialize in family law. The initial call with Simona really stood out. She was able to succinctly and clearly explain the divorce process, identify potential pitfalls and risk mitigation, and help me set the proper expectations. I chose to go with Simona, and from start to end the whole process went as smoothly as a divorce possibly could.
There’s an incredible amount of work the courts make us do in California for a divorce, and the courts don’t make the instructions clear. Simona’s guidance was invaluable. Before spoke with Simona, I felt «stuck.» Ever since I started to work with Simona, I felt the confidence that things will all eventually be fine. Today, it is fine, and that’s many thanks to Simona.
There is one point I need to stress. During the negotiation with my ex’s attorney, I can see that Simona was truly representing my best interest. I can understand how some attorneys with many clients to serve can easily succumb to «let’s make a deal and get it over with.» However, in my experience with Simona, she focused on what’s important to me and truly was on my side.
I recommended Simona to a friend of mine recently. After learning about his situation, Simona turned down his case, as she felt that for his particular situation, she did not have the specialization. I appreciate when a professional cannot take my business because he or she is not specialized in my situation rather than to have the professional take my business just to make money off of me, regardless of whether I will be taken care of. To me, this shows that Simona operates at a high level of integrity.
I highly recommend Simona Zakheim.
