Excellent lawyer
After contacting a few lawyers about an incident I found Mr. Talassazan to be the most helpful. He kept me informed throughout the process and answered all my questions. I am very satisfied with the result of my case and would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.
"Michael strives to always represent his clients in the best way possible. His clients are fortunate to have him. I endorse this lawyer."
