No Regrets!

This law firm is the absolute best. Mr. Rovshan is the professional whom you will want by your side when you have a legal issue. He will go above and beyond to help you. Mr. Rovshan has represented me and has truly worked miracles. I could tell from his nature and actions that he truly cared about my... case. His professionalism made me feel calm and confident that I made the right choice. I am very happy with the outcome of my case and I highly recommend his services if you need an attorney. Thank you, Mr. Rovshan!

Thank You

Mr. Sharifov represented me when I was arrested for petit larceny and possession of stolen property in New York. I got suspended at work. I was very nervous, could not sleep and afraid for my future. Mr. Sharifov explained the process to me, what to expect and that he can resolve it without any con...sequences. Although we had to go to court several times, the case ended just like my attorney anticipated it would. All charges were dismissed and got my job back. Thank you.

Experienced Attorney

Was charged with a felony, and as the result, my green card was on the line and so is my life in the USA. Could not sleep thinking about it. Happy that I hired this firm. Both, Rovshan and Victor knew how the process works. They are very experienced and know well what they are doing. Prosecutor insi...sted on criminal conviction but my lawyers kept coming back to court for the result I needed to stay in the USA. Eventually, I got the deal we were looking for, and I did not not mind some community service.

The most reasonable representation that you will need

Unless your field of business requires continuing litigation, you have have probably never experienced the need to retain a lawyer or go through the arduous process of finding the best representation that you can afford. Here is where this team shines - they not only have a brilliant track record- ...but also simplify the process and walk you through any and all scenarios so you can have the right expectation for your case. I have retained their services based after a seriously tedious search and evaluation that included reading their reviews and ended with a friend seconding my choice (he had retained their council as well ). For a first encounter with a serious and LONG list of charges, my anxiety was quite high. After discussing the case with Rovshan and Victor, I had a much clearer picture on how the charges are typically compiled and what they meant. Subsequent court dates and hearings affirmed every single step this team had predicted including the outcome, which was acquittal. Access to your legal council may be equally important to you as their competence - it was for me. And I never had a single time when I needed to call or text where I didn’t get a response within the hour. Another important aspect is with such terrific advice and representation you would expect the fees to be exorbitant or unreasonable, which was not my experience- and I am not wealthy by any means. Furthermore, Rovshan provided council on a completey separate matter (financial) and didn’t rush my call or even accept my offer to pay for it. At this point it is given that I am relieved with my acquittal- but even more assured that I have direct access for excellent legal representation.

Outstanding lawyer!

Rovshan Sharifov is a an excellent trial lawyer! My brother was accused of forcible touching his passenger which seemed to be a hopeless case to defend. Although he was innocent, we knew all the odds were against us. There was no concrete evidence that he did not do it, complainant was a daughter ...of a former police officer, two other females and detective testified for prosecution. We felt so wronged but could only leave it up to Mr. Sharifov to represent my brother and fight for his innocence and justice. It was a tough time for our family and Rovshan Sharifov was with us every step of the way. He was very patient and understanding as it was our first time facing law enforcement and really took his time explaining all the terms, details and possible outcomes of the case. With his competence, professionalism, trial skills, knowledge and hard work for almost a year before this case was tried, he cross examined all witnesses in great details and showed inconsistencies. He fought very hard to prove my brother's innocence at jury trial. The verdict came out and my brother was found Not Guilty; and we were all in tears. Rovshan Sharifov is not only an outstanding lawyer but also a great human being. Could not ask for a better lawyer than him. Thank you for all you have done and special thanks to Victor Shulov for being there with us in the court throughout the trial. Best team ever! Highly recommend!
