Berenji Divorce & Family Law Group, formerly Berenji & Associates, has expanded its limited-scope representation services to help California families navigate complex divorce and custody matters without the financial burden of full-service legal representation. The initiative responds to judicial data showing that nearly 80 percent of California divorce cases involve at least one self-represented party by the time judgment is entered.
The firm's expanded aggressive services allow clients to retain experienced attorneys for specific phases of their divorce or child custody proceedings, such as financial disclosures, settlement negotiations, or court hearings, rather than committing to representation throughout the entire process. This approach particularly benefits those facing high-asset divorces or complex property division matters who need strategic legal guidance but cannot afford comprehensive representation.
"The legal system assumes people know what to do once they're inside the courthouse, but for most, that's when the confusion really starts," said Hossein Berenji, founding attorney at Berenji & Associates. "We're seeing an increasing number of clients who have attempted to manage their cases alone for months before realizing they need professional guidance on critical issues like business valuations or international custody arrangements."
California's family courts have invested significantly in self-help centers and digital filing tools, yet these resources cannot replace the nuanced legal strategy required for complex family law matters. The gap between court accessibility and actual legal advocacy continues to widen, leaving many families vulnerable to costly mistakes and unfavorable outcomes.
The firm's limited-scope model addresses this gap by providing what attorneys call "right-sized representation." Clients can engage legal counsel for the most critical aspects of their case while managing routine paperwork and procedural matters independently. This hybrid approach has proven particularly effective in high-net-worth divorces where property division and spousal support calculations require sophisticated legal analysis.
Divorce mediation represents another area where the firm's targeted approach benefits clients. Rather than pursuing lengthy litigation, many couples can resolve disputes through mediation sessions guided by experienced family law attorneys. This process typically reduces both emotional stress and financial costs while encouraging productive communication between parties.
"The goal isn't to replace self-help resources but to complement them," explained Nikoo Berenji, senior attorney at the firm. "Families need to make informed decisions about their finances, parenting plans, and long-term stability, even when full representation isn't financially feasible."
The firm is also developing educational resources in both English and Spanish to help self-represented litigants understand California's family court procedures, including guidance on mandatory disclosures, temporary orders, and case sequencing.
