Bigger, Better, and Longer

Mr. Ghalambor was a critical asset in a suit involving a substantial settlement with several attorneys who comprises a three person team. For me as the client, he was able to discern my often cryptic language into a thorough and cohesive statement which was used in the answer to the court. We had eve...n set up meetings at 4-7AM to assure all the details were caringly and perfectly executed and put into place. Upon arrival at the court date, the judge was duly impressed with the 100+ page answer which Shahab spearheaded. The judge said: "I read the whole thing." This was far beyond any normal call of duty you may expect from other attorneys in the field. Naturally, this resulted in us all winning the case. The statement and answer he delivered on behalf of my company was not only convincing and articulate but compassionate and ultimately successful. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to represent myself and my company. I will gladly accept and make time to speak to anyone inquiring about his stellar skill as a top notch attorney: Breuk

Highly Recommend!

Shahab was an absolute pleasure to work with! He drafted a lengthy document needed for my start up employment agency in a timely, efficient and professional manner. He was always available to thoroughly answer any questions I had during the process. The end product was a meticulously detailed docu...ment which incorporated everything I needed. I strongly recommend Shahab and will be reaching out again for any legal matters pertaining to my employment agency.

In my corner...

I needed help getting a reticent employer to pay out my severance and had no idea what I was doing/needing in the process. Shahab managed to ease me through a very troubling time and to effectively convince said employer to bring things to do what he ought to have done in the first place. (Pay me.) I... hope never to be in a similar circumstance again, but knowing that I've got him in my corner should it happen gives me a greater sense of confidence.

Professional and Very Positive Experience

I've never done a web review before but this is worth it. Worked with Shahab on a personally significant matter dealing with a government agency not following policies which would have affected my job at my employer. After speaking with roughly 5 potential attorneys I chose Shahab. experience and kno...wledge seemed on par with the others but I just felt he cared about my situation and truly was going to go to bat for me. Glad I went with him. He went above and beyond in my opinion. I could tell the other side was frustrated that he was my representation in a good way for me. Being a former small business owner for many years then entering the corporate world I've worked with about 25+ attorneys with varied experience levels. He navigated my situation very well. He told me what I needed to hear vs what I wanted to hear and never sugar coated anything. He was very responsive and accessible, talked me through a number of potential problems and really got me to understand more about my case than other Attorneys had done with previous situations over the years. I will use him again and should any friends, family or colleagues have legal issues I will send them to Shahab without reservation.

Great Experience

Shahab recently assisted and consulted me in a on going legal case. He is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. He helped guide me through my recent issues and answer any questions I had along the way. I could tell that he was well educated on the legal system and issues that relate...d to my case. He went the extra mile, helping me at after hours and doing what it took to make me feel comfortable. When it came to the solving my issues, he was creative and thorough. I would highly suggest Shahab to represent you in your legal matters. He has a great legal mind and work ethic.
