At Reel Fathers Rights APC, our mission has always been clear: providing fathers with the high-caliber legal advocacy they need to navigate the complexities of family law. To continue delivering on that promise, we are thrilled to announce the addition of three exceptional attorneys to our practice: Brian D. Mullen, Laura Alvarez, and Nina Tahsini.
The arrival of these legal professionals strengthens our ability to represent fathers across California in matters of custody, support, and divorce.
Meet the New Faces of Advocacy
Brian D. Mullen, CFLS | Senior Trial Attorney
Brian joins the firm with nearly two decades of exclusive experience in family law, distinguished by his status as a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS) since 2018. This certification is a prestigious mark of expertise held by only a small percentage of practitioners, reflecting his mastery of the field. Recently honored in the 2026 edition of Best Lawyers in America, Brian specializes in navigating complex child custody matters and high-net-worth financial litigation. His deep technical knowledge and sophisticated approach provide clients with a significant strategic edge when facing the most challenging courtroom disputes.
Laura Alvarez | Associate Attorney
With over 25 years of courtroom experience, Laura brings a formidable litigation background to the firm, anchored by her previous two-decade tenure as a Deputy Public Defender in San Bernardino County. This extensive history has made her exceptionally “battle-tested,” with a record of over 200 jury trials and more than 1,000 courtroom appearances. Now specializing in family law, she utilizes this deep expertise to serve as a powerful advocate for fathers facing high-conflict disputes. Furthermore, Laura is fluent in Spanish, a skill that strengthens her cultural connection to the diverse communities of Southern California and ensures she can provide accessible, high-level representation to a wide range of clients.
Nina Tahsini | Associate Attorney
Nina joins us with a specialized focus on strategic conflict resolution, bringing a wealth of experience as a graduate of the UNLV Boyd School of Law. Throughout her career, she has been dedicated to helping individuals navigate the often complex procedural “maze” of the legal system with clarity and confidence. Beyond her academic background, Nina has completed intensive mediation training and has contributed to the community by teaching divorce courses. Additionally, her ability to serve a diverse range of clients is enhanced by her fluency in Farsi.
