Baghdaserians Law Group, Inc

I recommend the Baghdaserians Law Group for the quality and value of service provided.

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes it does, that a person’s work in life lines up exactly with his gifts and talents—and when it does, that person shines, and nothing and no one can take that light away. After dedicating 15 years of my life to my husband and children, I had to walk away because our home was no longer a safe place. In return, my husband and his gang tried to put me on the street, threatened to take my kids away, tried to leave me with nothing but debt, and came up with lies and falsified documents to destroy me. In court, they conspired against me, and ultimately, against my children. In trial, Patrick exposed every one of them. He was not afraid of them--expert witness or layman. Nothing phased him. Even when I was afraid and intimidated, he was not. He made sure the judge saw the truth. Because of Patrick's careful planning and excellent work, the judge ruled that the other side lacked credibility. Everything my children and I have now—our peace, our home, our life together—is because of Patrick and the Baghdaserians firm. When Patrick and I first spoke, after only two sentences from me, before I had any clue what was really going on, Patrick foresaw what was coming and what he would need to do. Patrick has been a blessing to me and my children in this most difficult time in our lives.

I paid his consultation fee with a friend. Patrick sold us on how experienced his firm is in child custody. I watched this firm milk the case with paper shuffling and ridiculous fees, only to be left off in a worse situation then when started. Soon as the well went dry this firm refused any and all services yet billed for the paperwork to recuse themselves. This is just a money grab ambulance chaser firm with little to no morals. I am sure there are more qualified people in this field that can do more for 70k that was spent. Beware and do your diligence this is not a firm to fight for your best interest but rather a firm to send constant bills. Beware!!!!

Review of Baghdaserians Law Firm Overpriced, Mismanaged, and Dangerously Unethical My experience with this law firm has been deeply disheartening, financially draining, and emotionally traumatizing. They charge certified family law specialist rates, yet the majority of the work is outsourced to inexperienced first-year associates who routinely botch essential legal tasks. Despite their inexperience, the firm continues to bill as if the acting partner is personally handling every detail—an insult to any client expecting real legal representation. The acting partner is a controlling presence, micromanaging where it doesn’t help and delegating critical matters to the least qualified staff. Their strategic decisions—or lack thereof—have consistently caused delays, confusion, and harm to my case. Most egregiously, in the middle of an urgent crisis involving my personal safety and the well-being of my child, the managing partner refused to assist me unless I paid more money immediately. I was effectively strong-armed at a time of extreme vulnerability. Worse, because he was still officially listed as my attorney of record, I was legally prevented from filing anything on my own to protect my child. I was trapped—abandoned by the very firm I had hired for protection. To add insult to injury, this firm succeeded in securing an award for their own legal fees and monthly payments from the respondent—but failed to obtain child support, spousal support, or any meaningful protection for me as a domestic violence victim. The respondent has continued to violate court orders without consequence, while these attorneys have done nothing except issue more invoices. When I asked for answers or clarification, I was met with deflection, evasiveness, and threats that they would drop my case if I continued to push. This firm is not just ineffective—it’s dangerous to vulnerable clients. If you are a survivor of abuse, or in any sensitive legal situation, I urge you in the strongest possible terms: stay away from this firm. Their priorities are clear—and your safety and justice are not among them.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Mr. Patrick. I paid $200 for a 30-minute consultation, and it was a complete waste of money. He was shockingly rude, dismissive, and clearly uninterested in helping me. From the moment the call began, it felt like I was being rushed off the line. Every answer he gave me was vague, uninspired, and lacking any real effort. In fact, I got far better and more thoughtful guidance for free from ChatGPT — with clearer explanations and actual care behind the response. If you’re looking for legal insight, compassion, or even basic professionalism, look elsewhere. This felt more like a cash grab than a consultation. I left the call more frustrated and confused than before — and with zero value for the $200 spent. Save yourself the time and money.

I was totally stressed out after discussing my case with several law firms but then I found the Baghdaserian Law Group. From the beginning to the final piece of paperwork Tarek Kholaki guided me, reassured me and did everything possible to provide me with the right outcome. I am so relieved and extremely happy. Everyone that I dealt with was kind, responsive and professional. I would highly recommend this law firm. Tarek, Ani and Patrick, I want you to know I am very grateful for all you did to help me get through this divorce.

Absolutely exceptional in every way. Outstanding professionalism, superior expertise in family law, with extensive knowledge and experience with high conflict, domestic violence cases. Aggressive representation that maintains high levels of respectful professionalism. Patrick and his firm have impressive attention to detail, and demonstrate cunning skill in their flexibility and strategic planning. I highly recommend this firm, as they represent the highest caliber of representation available, and outshine high profile family law firms in every way. Patrick and his gifted team have truly exceeded my expectations. Their swift execution has had a transformative impact on my case, and I feel incredibly grateful and fortunate to have their legal representation. If you are in need of exceptional representation that is aggressive yet extremely professional and respectful, a firm that will truly fight on your behalf, then this firm is for you. I highly recommend this incredible family law firm, they are truly amazing.

I came to Baghdaserian Law Group on a recommendation from a client. I had felt that my divorce should be a common split of assets, and go our separate ways. Unfortunately, my soon to be ex-wife had other plans. She wanted to take all that I had and then some, and was willing to lie about abuse in order to get it. She had me removed from my home, and proceeded to lie about the years that I raised her son while she was addicted to fentanyl, and her infidelity. I was almost nervous with how calmly and confidently Patrick and his team handled the situation. I wanted to know the progress with my case. The truth was that I didn't need to know. My job was to continue my life, and trust the team I hired to represent me. As it turned out, Patrick and team put on a clinic with how to deal with this type of spouse and their representation. I had assumed that I would have to pay something in spousal support, but with Baghdaserian Law handling my case, the only thing my ex got was my dog. I do miss my dog, but I may have been on the hook for $ for the rest of my life. Thank you Patrick! Chad

Disappointed and Concerned - Caution to Potential Clients I had a consultation with Patrick Baghdaserians in 2017 regarding a sensitive legal matter. During this consultation, I shared confidential details about my case, including personal and financial information. While I ultimately decided not to hire him due to discomfort I felt during the meeting, I was later shocked to find that he now represents the opposing party in the same matter. This raises serious ethical concerns for me. I believe it is critical for potential clients to know that information shared during consultations may later be used in ways that feel conflicting. I have evidence of my consultation, and I am deeply disappointed by what I perceive as a disregard for professional ethics and confidentiality. If you are considering working with this firm, please be cautious and ensure that you are comfortable and fully informed. My experience has been disheartening, and I feel obligated to share this to help others make informed decisions. ***************************************************** Response to Patrick B.’s Comment on My GOOGLE Review I categorically refute Patrick B.’s baseless and defamatory allegations against me in his response to my honest and factual Yelp review regarding my experience with Baghdaserians Law Group. First and foremost, Patrick B. falsely claims that I am a "disgruntled opposing party" who wrote this review in retaliation after being served with a motion. This assertion is not only false but also a clear attempt to deflect from the real issues at hand. My review was based solely on my direct experiences and supported by evidence, including documentation of a legal consultation with Patrick Baghdaserians in 2017. During this consultation, I disclosed sensitive information that is now being exploited by his law firm in representing the opposing party. This blatant conflict of interest raises serious ethical concerns and violates Rule 1.9 of the California Rules of Professional Conduct, which prohibits attorneys from representing parties in matters where they have previously obtained confidential information from the opposing side. Patrick B. has no basis for his accusations, and he offers no evidence to support his defamatory claims about my character. Furthermore, his conduct in this matter is concerning for the following reasons: Misrepresentation of Representation: Patrick initially communicated with me directly, claiming to represent the opposing party, but now claims another attorney at his firm is handling the case. This inconsistency raises further questions about his ethical practices. Defamation and Slander: His public response misrepresents my motives and character, accusing me of being "disgruntled" without any evidence. This statement constitutes defamation and reflects poorly on his professionalism. Unethical Practices: The mailing of unstamped court documents and filing of motions on issues previously resolved by the court demonstrates a pattern of harassment and bad faith litigation intended to waste judicial resources and harm the opposing party. I stand by my original review and encourage anyone considering working with Baghdaserians Law Group to thoroughly vet their ethical standards and practices. I am also actively pursuing accountability by filing a complaint with the California State Bar and other relevant governing bodies regarding these serious ethical violations. Finally, I will not allow Patrick B. or his firm to tarnish my reputation or deflect from the truth. This review, supported by evidence, is intended to protect others from experiencing similar misconduct.

I had an exceptional experience working with Baghdaserians Law Group on my child custody case. From start to finish, the entire team showed professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my situation. Tarek Kholaki was the attorney, and I cannot say enough about his dedication. He remembered every aspect of my case and meticulously prepared all of my declarations, ensuring they were accurate, detailed, and effectively represented my position. His attention to detail and clear communication made the process smooth and stress-free. For my hearings, Daniel Leonetti represented me in court. His professionalism, preparation, and ability to advocate for me both in and out of the courtroom were outstanding. I felt confident knowing I had such skilled representation. One thing I appreciated most was how seamless the communication and collaboration were between Tarek and Daniel. Together, they ensured that no detail was overlooked and that my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Patrick Baghdaserian also played a vital role behind the scenes, providing invaluable support to the team as a whole. His contributions ensured that everything ran seamlessly, and it was clear that the entire team worked together efficiently and effectively. I also want to commend the office staff, who were always warm, welcoming, and highly organized. They made a potentially stressful situation much easier by ensuring that all paperwork was handled correctly and on time. I never had to worry about administrative details, which allowed me to focus on my case with peace of mind. There were no drawbacks to my experience. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my child. I wholeheartedly recommend Tarek Kholaki, Daniel Leonetti, Patrick Baghdaserian, and the entire Baghdaserians Law Group team. Their professionalism, teamwork, and genuine commitment to their clients set them apart. If you’re facing a child custody case, you’ll be in excellent hands with this group.
