Fast, comprehensive, diligent & informative

We gave Kader Law a very tight turn around time to review and update multiple terms and other documents in preparation for a product launch. Not only did Kader Law deliver on time, Shahed was very patient with our team and was able to provide - in addition to the legal document updates (and in one ca...se, a complete rewrite) - consultation on best practices along the way (we were moving very fast and - like many startups - changing some processes on the fly prior to the launch). Shahed was able to make sure we were protected and was available to discuss any challenges we had along the way. (I appreciated his pushback too, on items that we were ready to move on, that were simply introducing too much risk to the business.) Shahed is super knowledgable and experienced and is able to move quickly and flexibly with tight timelines. 10/10 recommend.

Great Lawyer, better person

Shah was engaged to advise on a contract and non-payment dispute with a client specifically related to the delivery of a piece of technology. Based on his advise, it was determined that a demand letter would be written to the client, citing specific clauses in the contract that outline the outcome of... delivery of their technology product. This letter was expertly written and delivered in an expedited time frame. Shah was able to guide me, step by step, through the whole process in a clear and concise way that made me confident and comfortable. He reviewed the contract to determine if there were repercussions for the refusal of delivery of completed technology products, walked me through the specific language in the contract that was applicable in this case, and outlined the possible next steps. We went over the pertinent information needed for a letter to be drafted, reviewed the draft together and sent it to the client. His ability to make a personal connection and explain the proper legal procedures in a way that was understandable is unmatched in my experience.

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.
