Named a Super Lawyers Rising Star every year from 2018 through 2026, the Law Office of Sami Haddad, APC on Sixth Avenue in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill concentrates on family law litigation. Haddad's high-conflict custody practice builds parenting-plan proposals using forensic child-development evidence, often coordinating evaluation referrals with behavioral specialists like Center for Mindful Relationships in Bankers Hill. Haddad (CA Bar #299568, admitted 2014) earned his J.D. with Honors in Business Law from California Western School of Law after completing a B.A. in Economics at UCLA, and served as Editor-in-Chief of the law school's student newspaper, the Commentary. Before launching his own firm, Haddad was managing attorney at The Curran Law Firm and an associate litigator at Lee, Shome & Kennedy, with a pre-law clerkship at the Office of General Counsel for Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command. Divorce proceedings involving complex asset division — particularly business valuations and retirement-account QDROs — draw on financial analysis coordinated with advisors such as Daniel Shahmoradian, CFP downtown. Highest-stakes representations involve contested move-away petitions under Family Code §7501 requiring multi-day evidentiary hearings with vocational examiner and child-custody evaluator testimony before San Diego County Superior Court.
