Padideh Jafari is a powerhouse family law attorney, entrepreneur, and host of The Narcissist Abuse Recovery Channel. A first-generation Iranian American, Padideh opened her own law firm straight out of the gate and now leads a 20-person team across LA and Newport. She also just recently joined the board of Casa OC. With a background in both law and psychology, she brings a unique perspective to high-conflict family law cases and business relationships, especially when narcissism is involved. Through her legal work and podcast, she helps people protect themselves emotionally, legally, and financially in toxic dynamics.
In this inspiring interview, Padideh shares her journey, insights on narcissism, and lessons from running her own law firm. She speaks openly about the risks of business partnerships with narcissists, the importance of trusting one’s gut, and the need to understand people's motives. Padida also discusses hiring practices, her passion for giving back through carefully vetted charities, and how her psychology background helps her support clients in high-conflict situations.
Beyond law, she emphasizes leading with both heart and head, staying curious, and saying “yes” to opportunities, including future possibilities like writing a book or becoming a judge. Above all, she hopes to be remembered as a kind person who helped others find their voice.
