Hear what our past clients say

We measure our success by the people and families we help. Here’s what some of our clients had to say about their experience with our team:

Matt Koohanim specializes in certain courthouses in the Valley. He worked tenaciously.
He quoted a flat rate and didn’t ask for more $$ despite discovering that the process would take more than double the expected amount of work due to the courthouse’s frustrating administrative errors. He achieved an excellent result. I’m sending this man a holiday card.

Mr. Koohanim was referred to us by a friend of my dad. We came with a problem and this office did not
just heard us but went to work on our behalf. It’s quite rare to find a lawyer that sincerely cares about your best interest. We had so many questions and Mr. Koohanim patiently answered them all. He is straightforward, knowledgeable, honest, and generous. This law firm is extremely professional and competent. We would like to thank him again for helping us.

Richard E.

I just want to say that Matt worked very hard to get my complicated case dismissed and he worked long hours to prove my innocence and when I was losing any type of hope in getting this done, his hard work paid off and my case was dismissed. I am forever so grateful for all his hard work to get this done…
