Highly Recommend
My son got himself into trouble just days before his 18th birthday - a serious and very foolish lapse of judgment.

Truly a professional and caring lawyer
I cannot thank Mr. Irani enough for representing me in my case. All the way leading up to my court hearing he was always prompt with responding by phone and message, which I appreciated because sometimes people in his field don’t take the time to make sure to get back to their clients in a timely m...
"I endorse this lawyer. He is very thorough, detailed oriented, and aggressive on behalf of his client."
"Mr. Irani is a hard working and prepared attorney. I have had the opportunity to witness Mr. Irani in action and I am impressed by his legal knowledge and passionate defense yet respectful approach in Court which ultimately benefits his clients. Very few young attorneys possess his level of skill and work ethic. I would recommend Mr. Irani and his firm without hesitation."
"Despite being "opposing" counsel on a matter, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Omid. He is well-versed on the law, extremely responsive, and a zealous advocate for his client. I unequivocally endorse him."
