Not only did Patrick handle my divorce on a very competent way, but abased on his view of my post-divorce financial situation he advised me in how I could better handle my post-divorce financial life. That advice was invaluable and has helped me a lot.

I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Patrick, for the past month. We immediately established a bond. He is warm compassionate and fierce when need be. I definitely would never want to be on the opposite side of the table with Patrick. I have told so many friends and family member, if Patrick is coming after you, I would run for the hills! Patrick is not in law for the money, he absolutely loves what he does and cares immensely for his clients! Patrick you rock!!!

Divorce is always emotional and difficult time spacial for women and kids, but having the right attorney made all the difference! I found Patrick in Avvo and I hired him for my divorce and kids custody needs. He is excellence in professionalism and knowledge. I felt I was in good hands from the first consultation. You get what you pay for. I am beyond grateful and appreciative for Patrick's legal expertise and guidance during this challenging time.

Before I go into why you should hire Patrick, I'll just say this, hire him, it's the best decision you'll make when it comes to these matters, I was scared and nervous, taking the initial meeting with Patrick Baghdaserian turned every thought, every fear and worry upside down, I walked out of our meeting with a sense of relief and happiness, I no longer felt this weight on my shoulders, I was able to sleep at night, every conversation I had with Patrick and Ida Ayvazian was not only professional but it was caring, I felt that they worked hard to help me through these tough times, my mind kept thinking the worst but I kept remembering the great hands that I was in and relief quickly came, not only did Patrick perform like a true professional, he quickly adapted during court to anything that the opposing party threw at us, I truly admire Patrick and his team, I would not want to have Patrick against me in the court room. just think about this, can you afford not to hire a true professional like Patrick?

I was involved in a short marriage, but my ex-wife wanted to make everything complicated and going after assets that she lawfully couldn't have. Patrick was the only attorney out of five that I interviewed that gave me clear, honest consultation and helped me to win my case. He is a great person and very reliable attorney. His paralegal Ida is very professional and knowledgeable too.

Patrick genuinely and heartily cares for children. I think those are the most important qualities for the family attorney when child custody issue involved. Your attorney should be able and should be willing to put the best interests of your children as the most important consideration. Patrick is very professional, firm in his convictions and fair. From various sources I found out that Patrick is well-respected family attorney in a legal community. I trust Patrick and I’m very grateful to him for everything.

I could not have asked for a better attorney to handle my incredibly complicated divorce and custody battle. Patrick is always professional, diligent, and prepared for whatever crazy we are being thrown from the other side. I feel truly blessed to have found him and to be counseled by him. My favorite thing about Patrick and his staff is that from day one, I have never felt like a client, instead they have always treated me like a friend and for that reason, I know they will always do right by my family.

You can spend a little bit of money up-front to get the judgement you want or you can find yourself paying for your decision the rest of your life. If you want the job done and done right then you need to get Patrick on your team. He is tenacious and has established an excellent reputation in the Pasadena courthouse. Results are always tied to relationships and connections. Patrick and his team deliver results. After a 32 year marriage, I walked away keeping 100% of my pension, paid no spousal support, and we paid our own attorney fees despite that fact that my ex refused to work. Patrick was conscientious about expenses and did not try to run the bill up as many attorneys do. If you are in a position where you are going to need to go to court to get a judgement, then you want Patrick standing there beside you. Anything less and you risk a judgement that could have significant monetary implications the rest of your life. SERIOUSLY... YOU WANT PATRICK ON YOUR SIDE. If you decide to not use Patrick for some reason, at least do a consultation with him first so you don't find him representing the other side.

Patrick is a first rate, first class attorney. He provides excellent service, quick and effective work, superior advice and overall handling of the case. He made me feel like his top priority at all times. He handled my case with the sensitivity, professionalism and effectiveness I desired at all times.

Mr Baghdaserians represented me in my divorce and was able to cut through the mess to get a settlement that worked for me. I am very happy to recommend him as he is direct and gave me a great feeling of confidence in the negotiating process. Clearly he has a lot of experience and it shows.
