Excellence. Professional

I have known mr. Alavi since 2015 I saw his advertisement and made appointment and since then kept my communication with him. My cases for my sister’s immigration matter which he followed to the last step and kept me informed at all time regarding the progress and finally everything was accomplished ...perfectly. Since I met him if I needed advice , consultation for legal matter first I would ask him. I fully respect and trust Mr. Alavi as a honest and professional attorney

A Waste of Time

First let me start by saying this lawyer comes across charismatic but in my opinion, one requires an assertive lawyer not a charismatic lawyer. I found an ad on Instagram in which you put in information about your case, and you would receive an estimate of what you case is worth. That information nev...er appears but you get a call from Alavi. Deception at its best but it brought me to an attorney so I went with it. I communicated with attorney Alavi, told him my issues and he said he would be able to assist. He immediately sent the retainment contract and release forms. That phone call and signing the retainer were the fastest acts that occurred throughout the duration of having hired attorney Alavi. Long story short, my cases sat with attorney Alavi and his paralegal for three months plus. All legal issues have a statue of limitation, I had already lost approximately 8 months due to being treated from my injuries. I ended up switching to another attorney. Truly an unsavory experience, especially while managing health issues as the result of the injuries sustained to which is why I required a lawyer in the first place.
