This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best lawyer I ever dealt with!

Mr. Dar was my attorney when I purchased my 1st home. He was very prompt in answering all my questions whether it be through a phone call or email. He explained everything to me step by step so I had a good understanding of what was going on. I will definitely consider using him again in the future. ...

My go-to guy!

Whether it was a small job, or large - Mr. Dar came through to me in a timely manner a multitude of times. He has saved me money, time and anguish. When payments were owed to my company, personal problems, mediating between two sides - it was always resolved in my favor each time. I recommend him fu...lly, and hold him and his practice in the highest regard and respect. Highly recommended.

A consumate professional and a master of his craft.

Mr. Dar is a consumate professional, and a master of his craft. Be it advice, consultation, or through actual practice, from my experience Mr. Dar is as good as they come.

Reliable, thorough attorney.

Mr. Dar was excellent at both drafting new contracts and revising old ones. He also helped hash out a legal issue with a former merchandise supplier, in a timely and efficient manner.

Quick DUI Resolution

Shahzad Dar is an excellent lawyer. I had received a DUI recently, called up Mr. Dar and he was extremely quick and responsive, as well as knowledgeable about the process involved with resolving this issue. I felt extremely comfortable working with Mr. Dar and he put my legal fears at ease while bein...g truthful and honest in his opinions about what the outcome of the case might be. I recommend working with Mr. Dar for any and all legal issues.

"I was fortunate to work with Shahzad in a potential case involving medical malpractice. In his initial case evaluation, Shahzad carefully ferreted out the key issues in the case. Even though we ultimately could not accept this referral, I was impressed by Shahzad's dedication to his client and his ability to spot the important issues in the case. In just my first dealing with Shahzad, it was clear that he put the client's interests over his own."
