Law: Lawyer Raymond Hekmat Discusses Family Law In California, Prenups And His Work As A Divorce Consultant And Mediator
Episode 24, Jul 23, 2023, 05:00 AM
Raymond Hekmat is a lawyer and founder of Hekmat Law & Mediation, APC based in Beverly Hills.
They focus on family law with areas including divorce, paternity, custody, support issues as well as prenuptial agreements.
Raymond earned his Juris Doctorate degree from Loyola Law School in 2009. During his tenure at Loyola, Raymond was President of the Evening Bar Association, and was awarded the Alumni Association Governors’ Alumni Award. While earning his degree, Raymond worked as a law clerk, and later an associate, for a Beverly Hills family law firm.
Later Raymond was an associate with Law Offices of Schuchman & Aldin in Century City, where he managed his own complex family law caseload, as well as provided assistance to the partners in family law litigation.
He is admitted to practice law in California and is a member of the Los Angeles County and Beverly Hills Bar Associations.
Raymond received his Bachelor of Arts degree in International Studies, with honors, and a minor in Business Management from the University of California at Irvine, with study at the London School of Economics in London, England.
He was also a member of the Division I UCI Men’s Tennis Team, and continues to play competitive tennis as a member of the USTA.
Raymond was born and raised in Los Angeles and lives in West Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.
Raymond also has the distinction of being the first lawyer to appear on the podcast!
The discussion is wide ranging and covers topics including differences between family law in Britain and California, free speech and a refreshing take on why prenups can be a good idea for most, not just the rich and famous.
One correction I want to make is, in this episode, I referred back to episode 16 and my discussion with Dr. Larry Waldman Ph.D. ABPP. I mistakenly referred to him as a psychotherapist whereas he is of course a psychologist. If you haven't heard episode 16 it's well worth listening to as Dr. Waldman had great experience and insights, as does Raymond in this episode.
