About Shayan Family Law, APC
Shayan Family Law, APC offers a wide-range of services, including child custody, child support, marriage dissolution, divorce, spousal support, same-sex divorces, domestic violence & abuse restraining orders, father’s rights, prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, divorce mediation, and other family law matters requiring a personal, dedicated attorney.
SFL’s founding attorney, Nina Shayan Depatie, has dedicated her career to helping clients and their families navigate through challenging times, by favoring a highly-personalized approach that takes into account each case’s specific circumstances and clients’ financial, emotional, and mental well-being.
Because no two cases are the same, the initial consultation and strategy meetings help SFL craft a tailored approach to achieve clients’ objectives. Throughout the years, Nina Shayan Depatie has represented business owners and doctors, where control of their company or practice was at stake. She also represented athletes and actors, as well as their counterparts, in parentage actions, and represented law enforcement officers and civil servants whose pensions had to be protected. These high-stakes matters require a personalized approach and unwavering dedication, which are SFL’s core principles.
SFL’s experience has taught it that reaching fair settlements often provides clients with the best outcomes financially and emotionally, by allowing them to move forward with their lives on an expedited basis. Where possible, SFL attempts to reach these settlements in the least disruptive means. This belief in the benefits of dispute resolution is why SFL also offers neutral mediation services to individuals who desire to reach amicable results outside of court.
Where a counter-party refuses to treat clients with respect and fairness, however, SFL has extensive experience aggressively litigating and advocating for those clients’ best interests in court. Dating back to her time working in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Major Crimes Unit, Nina Shayan Depatie is no stranger to high-stakes environments where achieving justice is the only priority. This ability to zealously advocate on behalf of clients also helps drive better settlements with otherwise-reluctant adversaries.
From prenups to divorces, and from amicable agreements to litigious proceedings, what matters most is having an attorney that is personally invested in your case, understands what matters to you, and has the experience to get results. These qualities contributed to Forbes recognizing Nina Shayan Depatie as one of the top ten divorce attorneys in Los Angeles in 2024 and 2025, Vogue featuring her in its Winter 2025 issue’s Influential Women of Los Angeles feature, as well as Super Lawyers® recognizing her as a Rising Star every year since 2022, and her inclusion in the 2025 peer-reviewed list of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America® for Family Law.
