About

 Attorney Brian A. Bayati is the founder of Bayati Law Group.  Brian is a graduate of the University of California, Hastings College of the Law.  During law school, Brian was a judicial extern to the United States Court of Appeals (9th Circuit), and was active as a public service mediator.  Prior to founding Bayati Law Group, Brian was legal counsel for a national corporation; and, thereafter, member of a prominent Los Angeles based civil litigation firm with numerous offices throughout California and various other states. Prior to committing his practice exclusively to litigation of family law issues, Brian's practice involved litigation of complex civil lawsuits. Brian's numerous involvements and affiliations within the legal community include, but are not limited to, being an active member of the Orange County Bar Association, member of the State Bar of California Family Law Executive Committee, member of the Orange County Bar Association Lawyer Referral and Information Service committee, an active member of the Orange County Society of Fellows, an arbitrator for the Orange County Bar Association's fee dispute arbitration program, a graduate of the Orange County Bar Association College of Trial Advocacy, and member of the Board of Trustees for a prominent non-profit student run legal services provider in Orange County. Brian's practice at Bayati Law Group is focused exclusively on family law litigation.  Brian incorporates into his legal practice his experience in real estate, finance, and asset valuation to add practicality to various legal strategies, which can otherwise turn into ineffective approaches to dispute resolution.  Brian has various legal industry recognitions, which include, but are not limited to, being named amongst Orange County's top family law attorneys by OC Metro Magazine in 2009, 2010 and again in 2014.

In 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 Brian was named a "Super Lawyer" by Super Lawyer Magazine (only 5% of attorneys in Southern California are selected to Super Lawyers).  In 2014, the National Academy of Family Law Attorneys recognized Brian as one of the "Top 10 Under 40" family law attorneys in Southern California. In 2019, the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys recognized Brian as a "10 Best" family law attorney in the State of California for "Exceptional and Outstanding Client Service".

The first thing to note about Mr. Bayati is that he is an honest and ethical attorney. Anyone who has dealt with one that was not would likely understand why this quality is very important when seeking to hire counsel. He charges a fair fee for quality work and seeks to minimize costs where possible. With that box checked, the next thing to note is that Mr. Bayati is sharp and knows the law exceptionally well. He is very familiar with Court processes in Orange County and the judges that administer them. He has a good network of specialist attorneys he can count on as well if anything falls outside of his substantial area of expertise. He has a good demeanor and presence, particularly on video calls with the Court during the pandemic. He is practical and looks for reasonable solutions acceptable to both sides when that is an option, but can be tough when the situation calls for it. Overall he is an excellent choice for a family law attorney. He helped me a great deal with a very complex custody case and I would highly recommend him.

Brian Bayati is the BEST attorney out there! Trust me; I interviewed many attorneys before selecting Mr. Bayati to represent me. I had already gone through two attorneys and my stress level was high and I was emotional when I met Mr. Bayati. I chose Mr. Bayati because he is candid, very knowledgeable, courteous and well-respected in the community. Since bringing him onboard, he has made more progress in two months than my previous attorneys had in a year. We may not always agree on the approach, but he always provides the rationale behind his recommendation and points out the flaws in my reasoning. The general perception is attorneys are self-serving and just want your money, but Mr. Bayati genuinely cares about his clients' best interests, is brilliant, has a great sense of humor and wants to win. What more do you want from an attorney? I am truly grateful that Mr. Bayati came into my life during one of my most difficult period and now have peace of mind that my boys and I are in excellent hands. I can go on and on about what a fantastic attorney he is but will just say he is truly EXCEPTIONAL.
