Zahedi Law Office - Competent, Proactive, and Professional

Parastoo Zahedi and her entire team helped me and my family out during a very stressful few years in our lives. She fought a very difficult and unique case against our deportation that not many other lawyers could have undertaken. She was confident--and competent--in her decision-making which gave us... the slightest ease of mind during an uncertain time. Zahedi Law came highly recommended from multiple friends and I am glad I hired them.

Unprofessional Lawyer

I was in her office for consulting and she charge me $400 for 30 minutes, but she couldn't advise me because she need more information about my case, so she told me that she will call me back upon she get new information. Afterward she has never called me back or respond my email and when I called he...r secretary, he told me that I should be charged again to talk her.

The Best Lawyer in the DMV area

I had a very complex case that had lasted over 10 years during which I hired different lawyers with no success. When I moved to Maryland I began looking for a lawyer again, and talked to different always, and after hearing my case none of them wanted to take it but the last lawyer I talked to recomme...nded Parastoo Zahedi. It was I talked to her and immediately hired her, after another 4 year fight with immigration she was able to defend me and help me get my complicated case resolved and now I have my 10 year green card.

Top attorney in the area

Because of Parastoo's efforts and work on my case, I was finally granted asylum after my case had been denied previously. I had other attorneys who worked on my case and I paid thousands of dollars to them and was denied. My family retainer her office when I was detained, on my way to be deported. I ...finally had my case heard by another judge and was granted asylum after many years. I will be grateful for her work always and count on her as my friend and attorney. She is very knowledgeable and fights for you and won't stop until she gets the job done.

  • 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.
