Bahram Madaen, Esq.

Bahram Madaen is a California attorney and the principal of the Law Office of Madaen. His practice includes transaction work and California civil litigation, and he personally handles every paymaster and escrow engagement.

As paymaster, he reviews the contract and disbursement instructions, confirms the identity of every party, receives the funds into the firm's client trust account, and authorizes each payment himself. Clients work with him directly from the first call to the final wire.

Learn about paymaster and escrow services

An attorney paymaster is a neutral third party that provides a secure alternative for domestic and international business transactions. When trades involve large sums or commissions, the parties benefit from the added protection of a licensed lawyer, who is subject to trust account rules and professional discipline that do not apply to informal escrow arrangements.

The paymaster receives funds from the buyer, keeps them in a client trust account until the contract's conditions are met, such as delivery of goods, and then releases the money to the seller and other beneficiaries.

Verify any attorney

Before you wire money to anyone who says they are a lawyer, check their license on the State Bar of California attorney search. We encourage every client to do this.
