There is one word that encompasses Halleh Omidi: EXCEPTIONAL!! She is exceptionally competent and intelligent. She is exceptionally respectful of clients' time and money and punctual with communication. She is also exceptionally efficient. Halleh wasted no time in drafting and reviewing documents and sending them to opposing council. Hire Halleh if you want the attorney who will support you, give you exceptional counseling and guidance, and get the job done the right way. Don't waste your time looking for anyone else; she is the one you want!
Halleh (pronounced Holly) was incredible when I was forced to retain counsel to address the fact my ex wasn’t providing me the necessary documentation to obtain a passport renewal for my son. During our initial consult, I explained what I was trying to achieve. Although she was taken aback I needed her assistance for such a simple matter, she immediately went to work. Within a short period of time, she issued the letter laying out the fact my ex could either provide the required documents or we would file a motion for relief with the Court. In order to incentivize his compliance, she noted that if we had to file a motion, we would ask the Court for an award of our attorney fees and costs. Shortly after receiving the letter, my ex provided the requisite documents. I cannot thank her enough for the time. Money well spent!
Katie Ahles was co- counsel on my divorce along side Halleh Omidi . She is creative, smart and very good with numbers. Katie processed information quickly and found creative solutions to my problems. She was also able to help me understand the spreadsheets, numbers and information that came with the separation. Katie and Halleh were a winning team. Katie is still helping me with post decree issues. She remains efficient and goal oriented. She does not engage in the lengthy narratives and theatrics from opposing counsel but seeks factual legal resolution. I highly recommend Katie.
Halleh helped me with a contentious 2 year long divorce and I couldn’t be happier. One thing I’d like to express is that the divorce process is messy. It is so easy to lose yourself and go down a rabbit hole of mud slinging and angry unproductive behavior. I was on the receiving end of a lot of this type of hate mail and while opposing counsel encouraged it, Halleh refused to engage it. She always remained focused, factual, professional and elegant and she made sure I stayed the same. This was very important to me in this process because I have 2 children and I never wanted to behave in a way I was ever less than proud of. Halleh is creative, intelligent, efficient and honest. Emails were answered in less than 24 hours. Her goal was to help me solve problems In the most efficient cost effective manner possible. For instance, my ex was in contempt of court throughout the entire process and Halleh found ways to achieve our goals without actually having to take him back to court constantly. Plus she would tell me the truth and not just what I wanted to hear. She knew the law, knew what was right, and gave sound fair advice accordingly. After failed attempts to mediate, we were forced to a trial. Halleh shined here as well. She was well prepared, articulate and quick. Her courtroom style was direct, concise and professional. She quickly cross examined a witness to expose her lies and it was impressive. If you have to go to trial, Halleh will serve you well. I very much recommend Halleh. She was a bright light in a truly awful divorce.
Halleh recently helped me with a post-divorce modification of parenting time/parenting plan. She was extremely knowledgeable and helped navigate and simplify what felt (to me) like a very scary and uncertain, complex process. I highly recommend Halleh and team!
