John N. Sharifi

I have been a lecturer at a DC law school for many years. I know criminal defense attorney John Sharifi and am familiar with his work. He is on a short list of the very best trial and appellate lawyers in the Maryland-DC area. He is knowledgeable, ethical, dedicated, and, most important, he is a crac...kerjack at critical thinking and analyzing and helping to resolve complex criminal legal matters. If you need the best defense, I recommend him strongly.

We hired Mr. Sharifi to help with a young family member's probation violation. I was actually referred by a friend of a friend in the legal system. I am so glad I took that reference because what was supposed to be a cut and dry case ended up taking two hearings, convincing a judge to take on a diff...erent perspective, a lot of phone calls, emails, and coordination with several family members and private individuals. I reached out to Mr. Sharifi by email, and after an initial phone call, he provided a quote for services. I thought the price was fair- but after receiving the full legal service I realize it was more than fair! Mr. Sharifi took every single one of my phone calls. He answered every email and addressed every concern that anyone, including his client or family members had, from start to finish. He emphasized the importance of his client and family members having a clear understanding of the proceedings, decisions, options, consequences, and what information was needed. Nothing was too small to discuss, and he was a very hands on attorney! This attorney has heart. He has a good understanding of what the client wants and what the court needs to hear. He did not hesitate to reach out to any contact or resource he thought might help his client. It was apparent that Mr. Sharifi fosters relationships with everyone around him- the judge, attorneys, police officers, his client and their family members. He is thoughtful, direct, and he helped us "win" our case.

J. Sharifi was the best attorney I could have hoped for. He explained everything to me and was by my side every step of the way. He really shined while cross examining the officer that arrested me. I received the best possible treatment from him and felt that his service and counsel was never lacking....

I highly recommend John Sharifi for anyone who needs a criminal attorney. John Sharifi is an extremely knowledgeable attorney especially when he cites specific case laws. He is always prepared for his cases when he is in court and maintains a very calm demeanor. He is detail oriented, very meticul...ous in how he presents his case. He is brilliant in his approach when he argues his case. He also ensures that his clients understand the steps he takes and the rationale for his process. He is approachable, friendly, kind and has a wonderful team of colleagues that work with him. I am truly blessed to have found an attorney like John Sharifi.
