About Ms. Braniff
Ms. Braniff has been dedicated to the pursuit of law since witnessing its effects firsthand as a child. Her early experiences turned her frustrations into a passion for helping others, propelling her into a career where she could make a real difference. After finishing her Bachelor of Business at University, she dedicated her free time to assisting family law clients at the University of Newcastle Legal Centre and was nominated by her peers as ‘Best Mediator’ in 2021.
Ms. Braniff finished law school in Australia with a Bachelor of Laws (Honors Division II), and a Diploma of Legal Practice. She subsequently began practicing family law as an attorney in New South Wales upon being admitted in the Supreme Court of Australia, after already having several years of experience as a family law paralegal.
She employed her highly empathetic and logical traits to create positive outcomes for various complex matters, including for custody disputes, for victims of domestic violence, spousal maintenance cases, and in tricky financial disputes involving assets up to $15 million. Her confidence in adapting to the unknown was showcased when she successfully negotiated a settlement in favor of her client in a matter that had been through the Family Court system for over three years, just a month after being admitted to practice law. This success reinforced her passion for helping people and confirmed her enjoyment in advocating in court and negotiating positive outcomes through alternative dispute resolution, mediation, or conciliation conferences.
Upon moving to California in 2025, Ms. Braniff is preparing to undertake a Master of Laws (L.L.M) and the California Bar Exam in 2026 and assists in all matters as our Senior Paralegal.
Our Clients Love Us!
I called attorney Jafari when I had a Domestic Violence case against me based on false allegations . I felt confident in her abilities from the beginning and really trusted her expertise. She got it DISMISSED for me! I then also hired her to help with my divorce and she was totally 100% on her game with communication, filings, etc. I would recommend her to everyone especially someone in a high conflict divorce/legal case.

Padideh is a safe place for children and all survivors of domestic violence. When Padideh is working, she is living her purpose; radiating knowledge and integrity. My life, and the lives of my daughters are forever changed for the better, because of Mrs. Jafari and her commitment to Justice and making the world a more equitable and safe place.

Used Padideh as my lawyer for a prenup and she was incredibly helpful, and knowledgeable. It was clear she had vast experience in this field and how to protect my money.
