Great lawyer

He's very professional and I had a charge that he got dismissed within 10 minutes of meeting me at the courtroom. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs a criminal defense lawyer.

Top Virginia Criminal Attorney

I was referred to Dr. Noorishad by a friend of a friend, and from day one I was absolutely impressed. I was facing two minor traffic charges and a possession of cannabis charge. Upon our first conversation which occurred over the phone, he provided a listening ear and quickly assessed the facts of my... case to determine that I could beat all the charges or at worst settle for the minor traffic violations. Like the true expert he is, he utilized the facts of the case and the letter of the law to prove that I was not guilty of possession, and even the traffic violations were dropped! Kaveh Noorishad inspires confidence! I knew I was in good hands. Professional, kind, responsible, honest, available, extremely knowledgeable, and supremely skilled at his craft, I would HIGHLY recommend Kaveh Noorishad to anyone who wants reliable and repudiated representation on their behalf. This man is vicious!

Hire Kaveri for best trial results

I had a complicated situation in Arlington county . I felt the arrest was in no way justified and knew I would need a strong trial attorney. I felt confident as soon as I had my first consultion with Mr. Noorishad . I was nervous at trial when the prosecution attempted to represent my actions and wor...ds differently than what had transpired! Mr noorishad was amazingly prepared and able to question the witness in away that got my ENTIRE arrest suppressed! I would highly recommend him if you need a stellar trial attorney in Arlington / NoVA. really happy with the amount of care and preparation he put into my case and his rate was very fair.

Outstanding

I was charged with a first offense DWI in Fairfax County. I had an incredibly difficult judge for the first 3 court dates, and we ended up having to take the case to trial because they would not offer me a decent deal. I did not expect a positive outcome from the trial, but Kaveh worked his magic. He... asked the cop all of the right questions in front of the judge during the trial. The judge granted the motion to drop the DWI, and all I was charged with was driving without my headlights on (the initial reason for being pulled over). Kaveh is professional and knows what he is doing. He is absolutely amazing and 100% worth it. Because of Kaveh I don't have to put an interlock in my car, go to ASAP classes, pay extra money for car insurance, or have a DWI on my record.

DUI Expert

Kaveh Noorishad is a highly confident and very professional attorney. If you are looking for a DUI attorney in the Northern Virginia (Fairfax/Loudoun) area, consult with Kaveh. From the day I reached out to him, almost 6 months ago, til now he has helped me immensely. He assured me from the very star...t that we had a strong possibility of winning our case and his hard work ultimately paid off. With his professionalism and perseverance in the court room we were able to get the case dismissed. Overall I am very satisfied and will definitely recommend Mr. Noorishad to anyone seeking an attorney.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
