10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Mr. Sarfan was the best lawyer I've ever had! He always had my best interest. With all of his hard work he was able to get a non moving DUI brought down to a reckless driving ticket. Having a DUI on my record would have made my life extremely hard. But thanks to Mr. Sarfan I was able to walk out of t...he court room DUI free! 10/10 high recommended!

Review

Mr. sarfan was recommended by a lawyer friend for my sons case. He got the charges substantially reduced on a technicality. My son will still have consequences from his actions but he will learn from his mistake without having his life ruined.

Amazing !!!

Attorney Edward is the BEST !! He was able to get my DUI & refusal dropped down to just a reckless driving. Instead of 12 months restricted license I was only giving 6 months. I would recommend him to anyone without any hesitation.

Excellent!!!

I am extremely pleased with the results from Ed! He handled everything very professionally and answered any questions I had. He kept me informed on everything about my case and let me know what to possibly expect. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a DUI lawyer.

Avvo Rating

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.
