Litigation lawyer | Mar 22

Relationship: Other

"I wholeheartedly endorse Stefan Shaibani. In law school, he was a tenacious and courageous thinker who was not afraid to challenge professors or raise interesting issues. As a young lawyer, he obtained excellent experience as a clerk to Judge Sneed on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and then as a lawyer at the U.S. Department of Justice where he represented our nation in commercial litigation. As a lawyer in his own private practice, he has excelled by representing over 900 clients in personal injury cases and negotiating settlements for the vast majority of them. He is meticulous, thoughtful, and intelligent. He has obtained settlements as high as $500,000 for serious injuries in pedestrian accidents. There are few graduates of Stanford Law School who pursue this line of work but Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have a bright Stanford graduate who is willing to represent ordinary people who might be faced with extraordinary circumstances."
