Shulman Family Law Group

Maya Shulman's firm is truly the best team in Calabasas! She has always been so available and reassuring to all of my needs. She also has a great team beside her, so I have to say that they have all been the utmost supportive, especially in my financial concerns during this time. 5 stars!

Maya Shulman is absolutely the best lawyer in Calabasas! I've gone to other local firms in the area, but they couldn't compare. Maya is confident, diligent and works for you. That's why I decided to take my case to her! Very happy with my choice. 5 stars!

Very thorough and caring too. The reality you need to hear with a real person behind it. Maya is amazing and I recommend her whole heartedly. Thank you for being my support and my counsel in this hard time.

In March of 2018, I engaged the services of Maya Shulman, Esq, Shulman Family Law Group to represent me in a divorce proceeding initiated by my soon to be ex-husband.  In the 6 months of her representation of me, she was paid a total of 11,400.00 in attorney fees & expenses.During the initial months of our Attorney/Client relationship, I became frustrated with Attorney Maya Shulman's representation, both in her lack of productivity and in her lack of advocacy for me.  However, having never gone through this type of process before, I had no idea what the norms were.  It was not until I let go of Attorney Maya Shulman & procured other legal counsel that I was made aware of the grossly unprofessional representation I had received from her. Attorney Maya Shulmans fruitlessness in her ability prompted me to file a formal complaint with the Bar Association.Here is a synopsis of her gross mishandling of my Case:Lack of Strategy:  Despite numerous requests, at no time during the 6 months of representation did Attorney Maya Shulman ever communicate to me a legal strategy to represent my interests in this divorce proceeding even though I would ask her for one over and over. NO temporary spousal support:  At the time the divorce was served, I was not employed.  Attorney Maya Shulman NEVER suggested filing an RFO for Temporary Spousal Support nor Attorney Fees from my husband, despite him having a stable and permanent job, significant assets, including but not limited to owning a 1.5 million dollar home which I contributed to up-keeping.Moore Marsden Claim:  AFTER collecting 11,400.00 in attorney fees, and again without ever offering a strategy, Attorney Maya Shulman, Esq, of the Shulman Family Law Group informed me that in her professional opinion, I was not entitled to any compensation in the dissolution of our seven year marriage.  I was subsequently informed of my rights to file a Moore Marsden claim on our home which entitles me to fair compensation for the appreciated value of the property during my marriage.  At no time did Maya Shulman ever inform me of this established law practice.Over 2 years later, my divorce is still being litigated because of the change in attorneys.  However, my now NEW Attorney was able to secure for me some Spousal Support, Attorney Fees, and the Morse Marsden calculations estimates that I am entitled to.  All of which is a far cry from in her professional opinion I was not entitled to any compensation.Prejudicial Behavior:  I am in possession of email correspondence between Attorney Maya Shulman and a third party, where my case was discussed wherein the third party questioned Mayas belief that I, her client whom was paying her money to be represented by her, believed that I was not entitled to any compensation whatsoever.  At best, the ex parte conversation is unprofessional, at worse, Ill let you speculate.  However, it does clearly demonstrate a prejudicial mindset and a lack of advocacy on my behalf.  It is not right for Attorney Maya Shulman or ANY Attorney for that matter to take and continue taking money from a client if they KNOW they will not be committed to the best possible outcome for their client, that is simply inhuman, heartless & wicked.  What makes this even more glaring is the FACT that my new Attorney was able to help me move my case forward for A LOT LESS MONEY than Maya Shulman extracted from me.To be forewarned is to be forearmed.  If you are looking for a competent, strategic, 'shark-like' Attorney to fight/advocate YOUR Divorce case, then I strongly advise you to save your money, do more research, save your heart and your professional expectations and LOOK ELSEWHERE.If you're wondering why it took me so long to write this Review, its because I'M STILL suffering the consequences of past gross mishandling, I am STILL in the middle of this Divorce, but thanks to my new Attorney we are moving forward, thus this Review is OVERDUE.

I was blessed to have been referred to the Shulman Family Law Group to handle my case. I met with Ms. Maya Shulman and Mr. George Seide on my initial consultation with the firm and was impressed with their expertise and professionalism. My prior experience with family law firms handling my case was less than positive and I was nervous and apprehensive in hiring them at first. Ms. Maya Shulman was frank, honest and realistic with me regarding the expectations of my case and quickly put me at ease. Ms. Shulman assured me that she and her team of professionals had the experience and skills to represent me and they have not let me down! The Shulman Law Group has successfully helped me and I am grateful for their dedication, diligence and professionalism regarding my case.

I was counseled by Maya Shulman of The Shulman Family Law Group during the signing of a prenuptial agreement not long ago. Not knowing much about these types of agreements or California law, Maya guided me expertly with patience, answered all my questions and made the process during a very busy time a breeze. If you are a busy professional and need no nonsense answers for a prenuptial agreement, a divorce, an adoption, or any family related legal service, Maya is a great resource for information and will help you get the job done.

We have worked with Maya Shulman for over 15 years absolutely the best family law attorney we know, and we know a lot of them. If you want the best call Maya. Mike MCM Investigations and retired LAPD

An absolutely awesome attorney. I love an attorney who is up to date with the times. Text and email and digital files and DocuSign. Quick to respond to emails and questions. The attorney even responds after hours. Ms. Shulman is a caring and polite person. But is an absolute pit bull when the time calls for it. Keep up the great work. Hopefully I wont have to use them again anytime soon but Im sure glad I used them in the past. Give them a call, you wont be disappointed.

I used Maya for my own divorce a few years back and she did a wonderful job. I was very pleased how quickly all the paperwork was done and how smooth the process went.Last year, I referred one of my long time clients to her. It was a pretty messy situation, but she handled it very well and BOTH my clients (husband and wife) are happy with the outcome.

Ms. Shulman is always well-prepared for Court. Her writing is thorough, professional and well-researched. Her oral advocacy skills are exceptional. She has appropriate skills to balance the flexibility & sensitivity and the zealous advocacy of an esteemed, well-respected Family Law attorney.

Highly recommend! Great attorney!

Maya is the attorney you want in your corner in family law disputes, particularly with respect to complicated, cross-border custody and other matters. She is a superstar!

This lawfirm sucks! I don't have direct experience with them as a client. However, I am a process server who has been working with one of their clients. There was a problem in getting a party served and the manner of service required. To my total disbelief the law firm insisted that I contact THEIR client to instruct her as to how the documents needed to be served and/or get her advice as to how SHE would like the manner of service handled. The paralegal then stated she was not going argue with me and then hung up the phone on me. I'm not in the business of, or qualified to give legal advice. This is their job and they should know this.

I have referred Shulman Family Law Group matters in the past and will continue to do so.
