We Care About Every Family Law Client We Represent
We only take on those family law cases where we believe the person asking us for representation is a good person with the right intentions, will be actively engaged in the process, and wants a result consistent with the facts and the law.
We are not a mill. Nobody becomes a client just because they can afford us. So we interview you as much as you interview us.
But if we are a good fit for each other and you become a client, you will see representation far beyond the ordinary.
B. Robert Farzad Manages our Costa Mesa Family Law Office
He was the 2023 Chair of the Orange County Bar Association Family Law Section, where he led the bar association's efforts to collaborate with the Orange County Superior Court's Family Law Division to successfully improve access to and administration of justice for spouses and parents who find themselves in family court.
In 2024, he was appointed Chair of the Orange County Bar Association Pro Bono Committee.
Mr. Farzad handles every divorce and family law case with a fact-focused strategy.
Unlike so many other family law lawyers, Mr. Farzad does not waste time and money when he handles cases. He is not adversarial for the sake of being adversarial. He is kind and compassionate with his clients, not rude and dismissive.
His experience inside and outside a courtroom allows him to resolve cases that can be resolved amicably and, without hesitation, take those that cannot be resolved to hearing or trial.
Mr. Farzad has been a regular speaker, presenter and author on divorce and family law topics.
In 2024, Mr. Farzad was asked to teach Family Law at UCI Law School, which he accepted.
The same year, he was asked to co-author the Continuing Education for the Bar's (CEB) first dedicated book on domestic violence restraining orders, which he accepted and completed.
Mr. Farzad balances community service, non-profit work, pro bono work, and teaching with managing a family law firm he and his partner, Yvette Ochoa, have built together.
B. Robert Farzad and his team are proud to provide exceptional representation to good and honest people.
Yvette Ochoa Manages our Los Angeles Family Law Office
Ms. Ochoa is highly intelligent and an experienced family law litigator. Her style of representation is logical, calm, kind, and respectful.
She does not tolerate nonsense from other lawyers who attempt to cause financial harm to her clients or act contrary to a child's best interest.
When faced with an adversarial other party or lawyer, she patiently explains to her clients the available options and does not back down from litigation and taking the matter to court.
Her winning strategies and tactical representation of her clients have earned her the respect she receives from her clients and colleagues.
Our Family Law Team Share a Common, Client-Focused Vision
Each of our attorneys and staff in our Costa Mesa, Los Angeles, and San Diego offices work closely together to provide high-quality representation for every family law client we represent. That is exactly why our clients praise our representation in their testimonials, and our firm has an excellent reputation in the family law community.
Read Reviews Written by Clients About Our Family Law Attorneys
The reviews you read were written by real clients we represented, not by our friends, family, or those we paid to write fake reviews. So many lawyers today have a long list of fake reviews intended to fool potential clients, and sadly, many fall for them. It is not a coincidence that those same attorneys have some of the worst actual reputations in the family law community.
With us, everything is real and honest.
Reviews and testimonials are not a guarantee, warranty, prediction, or assurance regarding the results you may obtain, and every case depends on its own facts. But they do show what quality representation brings.
Your choice of advocate matters.

Other California family law attorneys have told us they use our website to learn more about family law and help their own clients.
We give you the power of knowledge here.
