Defendant

Hiring Syzane was well worthwhile. She ensured I was on top of all my responsibilities and ahead of the game for someone who has little experience in the judicial system. She was kind, honest and a genuine representative. I would highly recommend her!

Great Experience!

I had a great experience with Mrs. Arifaj. Not only is she very smart, but she's also very connected with alot of people in the legal system in the Easton PA area. Most importantly she is very passionate about her job which ultimately lead her to achieve my desired outcome in regards to my case. Than...ks again!

My savior

I was recommended to Syzane by a great lawyer I had in my past by the name of James Swetz but long story short, my situation seemed rough like there was no way out, my anxiety was high and my situation seemed hopeless, until I met Syzane, she was genuine kind and caring about my situation and helped ...me through it every step of the way, she was very thorough through my entire case and had my future and life in my best interest, it wasn’t about money with her at all but I assure you she was worth every penny and was glad to have her in my corner on my side and God forbid I ever have to go to court for anything else again, but if ever I did have to go again I would hire her in a heartbeat in confidence knowing that she would have my back and best interest in mind and can assure the best possible outcome, I would like to personally Publicly openly thank you Syzane for your help God bless you.

Highly Recommended

At the time of our consultation Attorney Arifaj did an excellent job of explaining both the process and the potential outcomes I faced. Throughout the process she was both professional and accessible, and ultimately her expertise led to the best possible outcome in my case.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
