Best lawyer

I am very blessed and lucky that I was referred to Mr.Shahab. His advise literally saved me, and made my situation turned from a devastating point into a complete success. He is a professional who listens very well. In addition he is so honest, dedicated, friendly, caring and most important he is so... knowledgable. I have a great experience with him and will always come to him if I needed any future legal advise or representation.

Simply put: an amazing lawyer.

Mr. Ghalambor not only gave me honest advice in my consult but also made sure to put my mind at ease. He is a therapist, lawyer, and friend all at the same time. I will never need to look for a lawyer again because I know that Mr. Ghalambor has my back. He is focused and determined to strive for the ...best job he possibly can do. I will definitely be recommending him to friends, colleagues, and family members. He is kind, fair, just, and honest: all aspects that you would look for in an attorney. He doesn’t settle for just “good” or “okay” work product; he is dedicated to his job and all cases he works on. Highly impressed with the work of Mr. Ghalambor and you will be too.

Good lawyer

Shahab Ghalambor is a very good lawyer he helped me by consulting with me about an issue I’m having with one off my previous employer's. He told me what I need to hear and what I need to know in regards of my problem with my previous employer. He Guided me with the information that I needed so that I... can pursue what I need to get done.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
