Razai & Nefulda, APC

I’ve been working with Jordan for almost a year on a divorce case. His communication has been terrible. He doesn’t give me any updates and doesn’t show up to our scheduled meetings. I finally decided to pay to review the status of my divorce and found out it was denied back in mid-December without any action taken yet. Him and his team are horrible and constantly blame each other for not getting in touch with me. I do not recommend him or his services. Avoid him and his team and work with someone who cares about their clients.

Jordan completed my divorce process, but my experience working with him was subpar. He is a very friendly lawyer, and initially, he was attentive. However, most of the process I felt in the dark about actions taken, timelines and next steps, and options available to me. For many months while working with him, Jordan became quite unresponsive, to the point where I would send one to two follow-up emails each time before I received a reply, which frankly I feel is unacceptable for any professional. After many months of this slow communication pattern, I started to feel that my case was not a priority to him. It was clear he was not operating with urgency nor advocating for my best interest, as each month my divorce process continued, I carried significant financial burden (by law, I had to carry my ex-spouse's health insurance and file MFS on taxes.) I finally confronted Jordan about my disappointment and he started to act with more urgency. He was able to wrap up the process in a matter of months after that, however I am convinced that if it wasn't for me sharing my discontentment and pushing it forward, my process would still be ongoing. What really drove home this experience working with Jordan was the very end of the process, which was extremely disappointing. Jordan said his office would mail me a certified copy of the divorce decree, which was supposedly shipped out and should have been in my mailbox by the time I returned from holiday travel. This travel gave me a tight window to file the QLE with my health insurance and remove my spouse from my plan. However, when I returned home, the copy had not arrived in the mail, and weeks later, has still not arrived. Knowing I only had a few days to report the QLE, I emailed Jordan right away to see if I could get a digital certified copy in the meantime (received no reply.) Over the course of that week, I sent a follow-up email, a text message, and left two separate memos with his receptionist. As a client who paid over $7k in fees on time without any issue, the least I expected was a reply much less a simple acknowledgement from Jordan...but to this day I have not received a reply from him. Fortunately, I realized I could go on the LA court's website and order the certified copy myself (which arrived in 4 business days), but by that point, the QLE reporting period was closed and now I cannot remove my ex-spouse until the next open enrollment period. I'm astonished that weeks later, Jordan has still not acknowledged those emails/text/calls, apologized, or let me know that I could have gone to the court website myself...no response at all. I feel this is completely unacceptable for any professional, much less one to which you've paid over $7k in fees on time. The fact that I paid in full and he went silent beyond that quite frankly feels disrespectful. While Jordan finally got the job done, I would not recommend him to others due to lack of professional communication cadence and lack of client advocacy.

Very positive. I felt I was always fully informed and was able to make the best decisions because I had been provided all my legal options. Shakeb was able to negotiate a much better out come of my divorce that I had expected. His office personnel are always friendly and they always answered questions, returned phone calls, and answered emails promptly.

Jordan Nefulda is an excellent attorney in the area of family practice and divorce. He constantly made me aware of what to expect in each phase of the proceedings. In fact, on several occasions he anticipated actions from the other attorney so we were prepared in advance. While these matters are highly emotional, Jordan was always level headed and when I would become upset, he was always able to get me thinking with my head and not letting emotions take over. He was always professional even when opposing counsel wasn't. He also didn't nickel and dime me for every phone call or question I had. I felt he was extremely fair with his billing and i never had any concerns regarding that aspect. He was always willing to tell me the good, the bad and the ugly. While I hope to never need his services again, I would recommend him highly and absolutely use him again of the situation arose.

Do not hire Jordan. You are better off without representation. He is that horrible.
