The best of the best!
Nader Hasan was amazing in helping me with my traffic cases! I was so stressed and overwhelmed, but I couldn’t have had a better lawyer supporting and advocating for me. I can’t say thank you enough! I highly recommend him as an attorney.

Nader Hassan
Mr Hasan is fantastic. He helped my son on two separate court appearances and represents him well. His knowledge of the court system, including judges, prosecutors and police helped my son immensely. He not only provided superb professional advice, but also personal advice for me and my son. I would not go to anyone else for representation . He’s a top notch attorney with a great human touch.

Blessing
Not only did he reach the optimal plea deal for my case, he saved me and my family a lot of money as well as being there like an extra family member. When working with Mr. Hasan not only did he change the outcome of my life but also changed how I saw my life. I wish I had met him on different circumstances, but nevertheless, you have nothing to worry of fear if you have Mr. Hasan by your side.

Thankful
The stress of dealing with criminal charges is upsetting enough and Mr. Hasan made me feel so much better by allowing me to trust that he would fight for the best possible outcome. Seriously I got so lucky by having him as my attorney - Without him I would've had an extra 6 months of probation for a silly mistake.

You will have the ultimate peace of mind and confidence with Mr. Hasan
Mr. Hasan is, without question, truly and relentlessly committed to his clients' best interests. Mr. Hasan took my divorce case completely out of my hands and gave me the ultimate peace of mind, which allowed me to focus on my happiness and what's important to me. I slept well at night knowing that he was at the helm of the ship. He fiercely fought for me every step of the way, and he is one of the most professional men I have ever worked with. All of this gave me the ultimate peace of mind and confidence. I give Mr. Hasan my fullest and strongest recommendation. You won't regret retaining him for your case.

phenomenal
When you hire Mr. Hasan, are you going to get someone who will tirelessly work on your case day and night. You must know though, you are not only hiring someone to represent you but bringing in a family member as he doesn't care how hard a case may be he will defend you as if his family member on trail. He has saved my life from the courtroom to his wisdom. If you ever find yourself or someone you know in need of a lawyer. Hands down without a debt I would hire Mr Hasan 10/10.

FIGJAM
I was lucky enough to have Mr. Hasan pick up my case when he was a court appointed. We had our introduction in the hallway and from that moment on, I knew he had my best interest. Him and his assistant make me feel like family whenever I need representation, or if I just need a question answered. I hope my days of needing representation are over. But just in case they aren't, I'm going with Nader Hasan every time. Peace and Love, Mr. Cole P.s. My mother says hello.

Consulate professional
Nader Hasan took our first case pro bono and used his knowledge to get the best results. We retained Nader in three more cases and he consistently used his expertise, knowledge of the law, and his ability to negotiate to get the best results in every case. In all 4 cases we were amazed at Nader’s abilities to get the most favorable results. Nader always shared the law surrounding the situation and the different possible outcomes. Thank you Nader for all your help

Professional and Experience Attorney who will FIGHT FOR YOU!
As someone who has hired Nadar Hassan in the past (multiple times), I can tell you from personal experiences that he is THE BEST. You won’t find a lawyer who is so cool, calm and collected and who knows how to handle a tough case and control the court room. Personally, I was facing a tough DWI case with overwhelming evidence stacked against me. What could have been minimum of 5 days in Jail, Nadar negotiated a deal for no Jail time with some added Percs! Dodged a MASIVE bullet, especially as a business owner. All in all, 5 STAR Attorney who is fair, trustworthy and has tremendous Intentegrity and always the best intentions. RESULTS guaranteed!!! Much appreciated and Much respect Nadar. Thank you from the bottom of my heart... -John-

Approachable, honest, humble
I was charged with a felony and misdemeanor charges for larceny. However since I was unable to receive outside financial assistance, Hasan helped me create a new payment plan. In addition, throughout my trial he guided me towards the correct procedures; resulting in a complete drop of all charges.

Excellent Attorney!
Nadar Hasan is an excellent Attorney. He is very professional and he has an outstanding reputation. He has a great rapport with local Attorneys/ Prosecutors. He recently represented my young-adult son on 3 serious charges but because of Mr. Hasan's skillful negotiating abilities, my son ended up with 1 simple misdemeanor and NO probation. This simple charge will have little to no negative affect on my son's future endeavors. Amazing!
