Not a great experience
Wouldn’t hire her again or refer her to any family going through family court.

Atousa Saei is a Wonderful Attorney
After discovering in mediation that my ex-husband is maliciously working on the side with an attorney, I found myself in need of an attorney to protect myself against him and was forced to go through the court system. I quickly had to learn what to look for and how to choose the right family law atto...

The right choice of that lawyer, your guide through this experience, will dictate your sanity on many levels. Lucky for me I m...

5+ STARS! WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!!
WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW!!! Before moving over to Atousa, I spent over 5 months with my first attorney that instead of pro-actively creating my Paternity case, was constantly in reaction to Opposing Council driving the case. I finally decided to upgrade from that first attorney, researched online an...

"It's interesting and I can't go into detail on certain aspects of this and I do not know Ms. Saei personally but, I had someone in my office today that used to live out in her area. All I heard about was how good Ms. Saei in representing the person in my office in a past case. Although I live and work in Ohio, I felt like I was competing for a new client with Ms. Saei. After the person left I decided to search here and found her, I've read the numerous client reviews and looked at some answers to legal questions she has given people seeking legal advice. Every now and then I need to get an attorney for someone in another state and, if LA is where I need to find one, I can say without hesitation Ms. Saei is the attorney I would call first."
