Adam Neufer is a Certified Family Law Specialist (State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization) with 16 years of experience in California family law. A partner at Moradi Neufer LLP, he is a trial and appellate litigator who handles the firm’s most complex custody and financial matters across the Bay Area, including San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, and Santa Clara counties.
Skilled in the Bay Area’s unique economic ecosystem, Adam has expertise in navigating and guiding clients through complex venture capital, hedge fund, and private equity cases, including the fund interests, ownership stakes, and sophisticated compensation structures common among Peninsula and Silicon Valley professionals. High-asset divorces involving these finances demand an attorney who understands how such assets are valued, characterized, and divided, and Adam has spent his career litigating and resolving exactly these disputes.
He is also highly skilled in the most complex of custody issues, including children who resist or refuse to see one parent, gatekeeping, high-conflict custody disputes, and move-away cases, whether a parent seeks to relocate within California, across the country, or internationally. Move-away and relocation matters are governed by their own body of California law, move quickly, and are difficult to unwind once decided, so experienced guidance matters from the outset. Adam handles appellate matters, jurisdictional disputes, domestic and international custody proceedings, and matters involving domestic violence. When a custody dispute crosses state or national borders, his experience with jurisdictional questions under the UCCJEA helps clients establish and protect California’s authority over their case; Moradi Neufer’s team also includes attorneys with Hague Convention and international custody experience.
Whether it be through focused negotiations or aggressive litigation, Adam works with clients to develop and execute a customized strategy to meet their goals, with compassion, responsiveness, and communication. His courtroom advocacy is grounded in careful preparation, including discovery, expert coordination, and trial and appellate briefing, with the aim of protecting his clients’ interests and reaching the right outcome, in or out of court. Because he practices at both the trial and appellate levels, he shapes the trial record from the start to preserve his clients’ appellate rights.
As a Certified Family Law Specialist, Adam is among an elite group of recognized experts in California. He is consistently recognized as a Super Lawyer for family law in California, and in law school he earned CALI Excellence for the Future Awards in both Advanced Legal Writing and Appellate Advocacy, the foundation of an appellate practice he maintains today.
