Wail Sarieh is the best attorney I could have ever asked for. Wail and Marlene make me feel like I am the only case they're working on. I know that's far from the truth. They answer all of my questions, they keep me updated via phone & email and I never feel out of the loop. Thank YOU Sarieh Law for everything you do.

Had to fire Sarieh Law Offices due to massive disorganization, lack of follow through and potential fraud. Subpoenas were promised to be sent out & never were. Key facts & dates about my case were being constantly missed and emails were left unreplied to. I was constantly refreshing the staff about the status of my case was and what the next steps were. I believe they didn't review any of the financial documentation I sent them and they refused to file many pieces of significant evidence I supplied highlighting my ex's frequent child neglect and abuse, which in hindsight made my case weaker in the eyes of the court. They also disregarded documented employment disclosures from my ex showing she was working 32hrs/wk in favor of accepting a verbal explanation that she was working 8hrs/wk, which resulted in me being in an EXTREMLEY unfair and disadvantageous support agreement that I am currently paying to get out of. When I asked Sarieh Law Offices for the Judge to step in as I did not think this was fair they responded with 'This is the best deal you are going to get you do not want this going in front of the Judge'. My new attorney believes that Sarieh Law Offices purposely maneuvered my case into a financially exposed position simply to be able to bill me massive additional hours to 'remedy' the situation, of which I completely agree. When I called the office to pause work & realign on my case they promptly fired me with a form letter leading me to believe this is a frequent occurrence for them. $19k spent and NOTHING has been resolved. This firm is either incompetent or crooked, either of which means you should avoid at all costs and instead find someone that will fight for you.

Mr. Sarieh and his team has helped me navigate through the divorce process successfully with great outcomes. They are attentive to my needs and concerns with prompt responses. Extremely professional. I have recommended friends, and highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great attorney that will fight for you and your family. The staff are amazing! The only attorney I can trust in my corner. Great personalities throughout the whole office. Everyone is very helpful, professional, and most importantly patient. It wasn't easy going through a divorce, but Mr. Sarieh and his team has made me feel confident in my right, every step of the way. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL

I would like to thank Mr. Holder for taking the time and speaking to me about my legal issues , even though he could not help me at this time he still took the time and explained the process to me . When someone needs an attorney it's almost never a pleasant time. It's good to know there are attorneys who care.

We retained Wail Sarieh to help us out with what had been a contentious, incredibly confusing, and emotionally draining two-year long divorce process for my elderly father. Our situation was unique in that our father and his wife both suffered from dementia and were not active participants in the process. We had been working with another attorney for almost two years but there had not been any movement in our father's case for a long period of time. Negotiations had stalled because there was a lack of communication from the other side, and both sides were struggling to divide properties and assets accumulated during and before their marriage. We needed to find an attorney that could pick up the pieces and get the ball moving in this divorce case so our father could enjoy his remaining years. We found that and more in Wail and his staff.
Wail was invaluable in helping us get to a very fair settlement in very little time. Wail is incredibly intelligent, professional, driven, and tough when the situation calls for it. He is well-versed in the law and familiar with the judges, attorneys, and courts in the Southern CA area. You cannot help but think you are in good hands with Wail as he exudes confidence, and this allowed us to relax a little for the first time in months.
During our first meeting with Wail, he was able to tell us things about our case and showed us invaluable documents that our other attorney had not presented in the two previous years. I wish we would have started working with Wail from day one as we would have saved a lot of time, money, and frustration. Also, I do not think you could find a better advocate for your cause then Wail. He is truly that good.
I cannot recommend Wail Sarieh and his staff enough.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - M M.Long Beach, CA01614Mar 11, 2020
Wail Sarieh is a great lawyer with integrity. He is knowledgeable, honest and will let you know what to expect from your case without giving you false hope. He took care of my child custody case and got me better than expected results. His fees were reasonable and I really felt that he cared about the outcome of my case for my children's sake. His office is always on top of things and Marlene was great in answering all my questions and easy to deal with. I would recommend his law office to anyone that needs his services.

When you need legal support, you only want the best. Sarieh Law Offices provides comprehensive, efficient, responsive, and dedicated services that drive results towards the best resolution. Mr. Sarieh listened to my needs and tailored his approach for a swift, direct, and cost-effective solution. Everyone at the office was polite, responsive, easy to work with, and informative. When dealing with the opposing party, he provided clarity, was meticulous to detail, empathetic when appropriate, and forceful when necessary. I could not have asked for more. Sarieh Law Offices will exceed your expectations.

Found myself in a situation where I needed representation and a friend recommended this attorney. Ken has changed my perspective on attorneys -to my surprise he was warm, caring and I felt he was looking for the best possible resolution without dragging out our case to where we would be paying unnecessary fees. Highly recommended.

Wail, Marlene, and Alex have all been excellent. I had been in an extended custody fight (2.5 years) with an unrelenting barrage of legal assaults and was making small progress. I wanted to stick with my former attorney but after one too many frustrating mistakes, miscommunications, and poor negotiating skills I finally changed attorneys. I am so glad I did! When I met with Wail and Marlene (paralegal) what struck me most was his dexterity with the details of the case, how the law applied, and what we could and could not do about it. He had sound reasoning, answered my follow up questions well, and addressed all the details. It was great to finally have an attorney who was a true professional. And Marlene, though only titled as a paralegal, is just as sharp and dependable as Wail.
Wail meets all deadlines, follows up with phone calls, makes time for meetings, shows up to court on time, crafts strong legal arguments, and is very personable. He will tell you the truth and he will do all he can to help you win.
Through his efforts we were able to reach a temporary detant of 3 months and to get my child's mother to finally start to contribute her time and money to our 50/50 transportation schedule. Recently my child's mother has renewed her legal challenges and therefore I have again retained the services of Sarieh Law seeking their excellent counsel and representation.
You will not go wrong when selecting this firm.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chad M.Rancho Santa Margarita, CA5312Jul 29, 2020
Just talked to this attorney. Smelled fishy, and I was right. Slimy realtor trying to smooth talk me into paying him with my tail tucked between my legs. He hung up on me when I wasn't buying his slimy way of condescending me. Yeah man, Fathers get fucked in the system so what? Thats his approach. Weak and no defense for men. Scummy.
