Macksoud & Macksoud, LLP

Have work with Cameron Astiazaran on two separate issues:
issue one started in 2015 and ended in early 2016 and was the personal jurisdiction and subject matter jurisdiction of child support being transferred from Texas to California. Opposing counsel was Mr. Frank who I considered out classed and knowledge by Cameron. This was a long battle but ended up in getting arrears, an increase of 120% in C/​S and four years of medical bills paid with penalties…
Issue two was for the extension of child support past 18 year old for a healthy child now turned adult. With no physical disabilities and only a diagnosis of bipolar and in college as a minor… since 11^th grade. Ms Astiazaran assist me as a proper in writing the pleadings needed for this case which is still pending hearing on June 2016. I strongly recommend speaking with Cameron on the issues you may have in Family Law court. Just come prepared for your office consultation — do your homework and ask her hard questions which you know the direction the answer should go. You will stop talking to other attorneys.

My fiancé and I have been going through 2 very litigious divorces for over 5 years. Although we are both technically divorced our ex-​spouses keep coming back with ridiculous requests and fights. Because of these 2 very litigious divorces that both of us have been trying to settle out of court for years, I have dealt with numerous divorce attorneys and I am 100% certain of the 5 we have seen in action, Macksoud Junior is the best. He doesn’t miss anything yet he helps you understand what is «worth it» and what isn’t. He does a very good job at keeping emotions out of it so you can cut through the real issues and asses what is really important to you. He is incredibly organized, seems to know exactly what is going on at all times even though I know he is juggling multiple clients. His paralegal is very nice and helpful and the team is just all around great.
In my particular case, my ex has been fighting over completely ridiculous re-​imbursement items and doesn’t want to pay a mere $ 450 a month in child support so in my mind spending money on legal fees to fight over money is ridiculous because the one that typically always wins is the lawyers as they rack up more fees. However Macksoud Jr. has been very sensitive to the fact that I don’t want to spend a ton of money because it doesn’t make sense yet I have to protect myself. I have never been dissatisfied with Macksoud’s approach and feel he is honest, cares about me and doesn’t have an ulterior motive like most family law attorneys as this process is like the wild west.
While my ex has racked up $ 150,000 using Roger Rombro, who is the worst attorney I think I have seen on the street, I have spent pennies to that yet have won on every issue. My ex went so far as to appeal our case all the way to the supreme court while Macksoud Jr. advised me to do nothing because he was confident my ex wouldn’t get the appaleate court to agree with him. Had I had another attorney, I bet my bill would be at $ 150k by now. You can verify I am not a friend of the firm by looking up my case to know this review is genuine.
They are a great firm and one I would highly recommend.

I have used this firm multiple times in the past few years regarding both family court issues as well as for a will/​living trust.
Ms. Astiazaran was my attorney for a family court issue and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking representation in a like matter. She is professional and respectful, and knowledgeable in her field. She knows how the system and the courts work locally and based on your situation will work with you to adjust the approach needed for your case. I greatly appreciate how she took the time to explain things to me when I had a question, but that she is also quick respond, and will stay on top of things.
I’ve worked with many lawyers over the years professionally, I wouldn’t let many of them handle a case for me personally, however I would happily use her again if I needed future representation.
Dave Workman, handled my will/​living trust. Mr. Workman was very knowledgeable, detailed oriented, thorough, as well as professional. I would also feel confident utilizing his services again if I needed to.

Alexander Macksoud II represented me in a child visitation case and did a remarkable job. He is a brilliant, strategic and compassionate lawyer who was a true partner during a very trying time. I feel fortunate to have had him on my side and would highly recommend him to anyone facing a battle in family court.

A couple years ago, I retained the firm, Macksoud & Macksoud, specifically Cameron Astiazaran.
From the initial phone conversation, Ms. Astiazaran was professional, detailed, and answered all questions fully. She is diligent and has gone out of her way to obtain more information for my questions, if necessary. Ms. Astiazaran is efficient, answers phone calls and emails as quickly as reasonably possible, and genuinely cares about the case she represents.
Since my initial phone conversation, I have met with her several times and she has attended my court dates. Ms. Astiazaran has been essential in handling my post dissolution issues and child custody case; even when complications and difficulties have made it more complex than necessary.
In addition, Ms. Astiazaran’s assistants and staff are polite and professional which are added benefits when calling.
I would highly recommend Ms. Astiazaran to anyone in need of a Family Law Attorney.

Alexander Macksoud Sr. represented my child custody case back in 2010 and I can’t say enough good things about this firm. With his help I was able to obtain 50 percent custody of my child and a very reasonable child support order. Compared to other friends of mine who have had similar circumstances, I have had the most reasonable outcome. One other thing I found helpful was that Mr. Macksoud was able to give me an idea in advance of what I could expect my outcome in court to be., he was accurate.
If you need a great family law attorney this is the right place. It’s not cheapest but you are paying for the experience and it is worth every penny! I just referred a friend today and she secured his services., I have confidence she is in good hands.

I can’t say enough positive things about Cameron Astiazaran and her team at Macksoud and Macksoud. She fought tirelessly during my child custody case and succeeded in getting me joint custody of my kids. She also negotiated a very favorable financial settlement for me. I would recommend Macksoud and Macksoud to anyone looking for an aggressive divorce attorney.
