Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I highly endorse Mr. Pishevar. He is a sharp litigator with a broad base of knowledge and experience. We have consulted and discussed complex legal issues and I am aware of extremely favorable results that he has achieved for his clients.
Christopher Luhn, Family Attorney on May 16, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. I found "A.P." here, in AVVO, when I needed a Rockville, MD matter handled immediately. His ratings speak for themselves (both from clients, as well as other professionals). Briefly: I spoke with him at 5:15 PM about an emergency court appearance the next morning at 8:30 AM; after our discussion, I was satisfied he knew the law, and the local procedures and courts; I called the client and urged him to retain Mr. Pishevar; the next morning, I received an e-mail from "A.P." -- he was just letting me know he was at the courthouse, and would keep me advised; and, by 10:15 AM, I had an email from him WITH a scanned attachment -- the order dismissing the petition filed against our mutual client. How can one NOT be impressed with those results, and with that diligence and devotion to communication and service. He will certainly get more calls from me in the future with referrals, if the need arises.

Afshin Pishevar is an extraordinarily bright and hardworking attorney. I would trust him with my own legal matters. He is tireless in his efforts on behalf of his clients. He obtains incredible results based purely on his commitment to his clients.
David Gardner, General practice Attorney on Dec 27, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I fully endorse Afshin ("AP"). He has a wide range of knowledge and is very dedicated to his clients. He is also very active in his community, volunteering his time for various causes and will do everything he can to help his clients. He recently obtained a not guilty verdict in a rape trial in Md. and in a DWI in DC. He is an attorney who is not afraid to try cases, and when he goes to trial he makes sure he is fully prepared.
Lawrence Regan, Immigration Attorney on Oct 26, 2012

Gary Gerstenfield, Civil rights Attorney on Jan 26, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Mr. Pishevaris an amazingly effective and truly gifted litigator and advocate. There is no problem too great or dilemma too difficult that Afshin cannot solve. Among journeymen lawyers, Afshin is universally recognized as a master. But, what really distinguishes Afshin as among the elite of trial lawyers is the warmth and compassion he brings in resolving the seemingly unsolvable legal issues that many his clients face.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Pishevar has earned the enthusiastic support of his clients and with over 15 years of experience, he has much to offer anyone who needs help in an accident case.
