This review is long overdue. We worked with Takin on an international adoption case. We were lucky to have found him as it was challenging finding a lawyer that had experience with international adoptions. Takin was knowledgable about the process and always took the time out to answer any questions we had. We appreciate his help in our adoption journey.

We hired Takin to help us navigate adoption through the foster system, and all I can say is that our family would not be what it is today without him. It seems like every week threw us a new curveball, and Takin handled them all with expertise and persistence. He guided us through the legal and emotional roller coaster with compassion, always keeping us in the loop and keeping our expectations realistic. Our family will always be grateful to him!

Takin represented me in my divorce 2018-2019. He is Honest and has good communication throughout the process. Unfortunately odds were already stacked against me since married 20+ years and ex choose not to work for most of the marriage.....even with these odds I was happy with my outcome! Even though I missed out on alimony deduction due to uncooperative ex and change in tax laws, I am happy to pay the alimony to be have peace of mind and be out of a toxic marriage. Thank you Takin for helping me reach this settlement.

I have used Takin and after a year of not needing his services anymore I was asked by a friend (who had gone through numerous attorneys and was in an very long divorce process) if I had anyone I thought was good and I referred Takin (I am not sure you can get a stronger recommendation than that) to my friend.
This friend just went through a round of court with Takin and my friend informed me that he thought Takin did very well for him.
Takin has strong knowledge of court processes, has a very good court persona and will fight for you.
Thank you Takin

Takin helped my husband and I go through a very messy child support case. He is helpful and honest in explaining limitations of the legal process. He was and continues to be our support and source of legal advice through dealing with our ultimate goal of getting 50/50 custody of our kids. He is diligent and on top of it. I do get the impression that he is very busy, but it hasn't negatively affected our case. If you need a knowledgeable, fair and responsive lawyer for your child custody case, we absolutely recommend him. Unfortunately, it's the nature of this business that not everyone

Not a divorce attorney! Hired him due to good reviews and he seemed to be an honest and caring lawyer. My divorce case was pretty easy given the fact that we didn't have much assets. However what made my case difficult was dealing with my ex husband who refused to give much child support or anything money we had saved up or work with our daughters schedule. Yes my ex was a very difficult person to deal with and unfortunately he had a very good lawyer. Mr takin seemed to be fed up but that is why I had hired him. He pretty much agreed to what my ex husbands lawyer would say and told me I could

A public thank you to Takin, for helping my better half get through a difficult and long divorce and custody case. From the initial consultation up until the final judgement, Takin kept us apprised of updates, changes and correspondences proactively. He is not one to waste time just to bill hours, he is efficient and honest, easy to talk to and given his previous work is well versed in custody law.
No divorce or custody case is easy, but having someone on your side that is invested, cares, and wants what is fair makes a world of difference. Takin was able to relay my messages to the other

Hiring Takin Khorram was the BEST decision that we made throughout our hellish process. As foster-to-adopt parents, we knew we needed an attorney that understood the ins and outs of children's court. Takin was referred to us by several people. He has a high reputation and made our process easier than it had been up to that point. He replied quick to our original email, provided a free phone consultation and made the process easy to understand, including the various roles, forms and laws. We had several consultations prior to speaking with Takin in which we did not feel the ease that Takin

Takin Khorram was recommended to us by a contact who has a lot of experience dealing with the foster care system for many years. We ended up in a very difficult situation where social workers were not advocating for the children we were caring for. Takin helped us immensely through the whole process, fighting for the kids we were caring for until ultimately we wereÂ
able to adopt them. His knowledge of the system proved crucial in navigating many difficult situations. He was good at listening and caringÂ
through the whole process and I would now even consider him a friend.

I cannot say enough about Takin. I was in a situation where I did not see a great outcome, so I searched out a lawyer. Takin was the only attorney who made me feel confident he would be able to help with my particularly difficult situation with DCFS. Takin was prompt, knowledgeable, apt, and more than on top of his game given his experience in the dcfs world. There was a happy ending in the end for me, and I believe had I not hired Takin the story would begin different today. I highly recommend him when dealing with the beast of the system of dcfs, or when you need someone who truly has experience

Great attorney. I currently have another attorney and I went in to talk to Mr. Khorram for a second opinion/advice with the possibility of retaining him as my new attorney.Unfortunately I was unable to hire him due to time constraints but he did allow me to consult with him. He paid attention to all my concerns and offered me his honest advice. He clarified a few issues and I left his office with a clearer mind. If it wasnt for my time constraints, I would have hired Mr. Khorram. If you are looking for a great lawyer, talk to him first.

Im very grateful for Takin at Riley Khorram. I was represented by a so-called powerful family law attorney in beverly hills that made my case go on for almost 4 yrs. I was frustrated beyond belief and Takin was able to take over my case, negotiate down my payment to the other law firm, and finalize my divorce without any complications. I would highly recommend this law firm for your needs. Thank you Takin for helping me finalize that part of my life. I can move on now!

Just wow! From the start, Takin took me by surprise. He responded to my inquiry within hours and he was on vacation! For someone to still take the time to respond like this really proved his consideration and that he means serious business. I went in for a consultation and he showed empathy while patiently spending a whooping whole hour with me at no charge. He gave options and presented the worst case scenario so I know exactly what I'll be getting into. After he took my case, everything went very smooth. He notified me of every step of the way. With this courtesy, I did not have to

GREAT representation!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Takin and the team at Riley Khorram! Takin has helped us so much thru a very complicated child dependency case. Great communicator, professional, great self presentation, paperwork and prep for cases is very impressive, he's patient, understanding, and confident.
Most importantly, his knowledge of law and abilities in and out of court are reliable. My family will continue to use his services and will use his team for representation if need be for anything else in the future. Thank u very much for being there for us.

Atty. Takin Khorram is exactly who you want on your side should you find yourself trying to navigate Edelman Children's Court. He is experienced as a lawyer for both children and parents (foster and bio). He is familiar with many of the judges and other lawyers and that familiarity is like gold! Unfortunately, I cannot be more specific as I am still in the midst of my own process but I feel absolutely confident that my family is in the best hands. He is compassionate, knowledgeable and generous with his time and very affordable fees and always returns phone calls and emails promptly. I feel

I contacted Takin Khorram close to the end of the day and left a voicemail. He called me back shortly thereafter and I could already tell that he wasn't your typical stuffed shirt type of person. We arranged to meet on a Saturday, which was a major plus due to my work schedule. His office was close to my home which was great and after talking to him during our Free 1 hour consult, I was really happy that I chose him. He was relaxed and asked all the right questions. He listened like he cared about my case and showed true empathy about my situation. His prices are more than fair and he is

I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Riley Khorram to any foster and/or adoptive parent, relative caregiver, etc... who might be in need of legal services and/or advice. Tak has been a friend and valuable resource to me for many years as I help families navigate dependency court. As a foster/adopt dad and executive director of a non-profit which advocates for children and families in the foster care system, I have seen so many families who would benefit from the expertise of an attorney who knows how the system works. Tak not only knows how the system works, but he has the integrity and deep personal
