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.

Thorough and Professional

He handled my case with thorough review of information. He explained the facts clearly. And had the marijuana pwi nolle prosse

Sound strategy superbly executed! The judges like him too.

Mr. Sarfan handled my reckless driving charge like a true legal veteran. It was obvious his reputation in the legal community and pleasant demeanor had gained him (and me, in hiring him) the favor of the judge and the witnessing police officer. He prepared me well to have ready the certificates and... records that would support a request for a reduction in the charge. Of the three reckless driving cases the judge heard in that session, I received the most favorable reduction to speeding at only 14 miles over. Underpinning all he performed for me legally--he took time to get to know me and make a genuine personal connection. Hire this man!

Thorough work and knows all the contacts necessary for proper handling of your case!

Ed took on my DUI case the middle of last year and pursued all avenues of defense and evidence related to it. He went the extra mile to ensuring it was handled properly and all items were in order and present for the best chance at resolution. He is familiar with all the necessary people in the Ha...mpton court system that allowed flexibility in the scheduling date for my witnesses as well. He did an excellent job overall and I would recommend him to anyone I know for any case in his disciplines. Though his work, the city wanted to reduce my charges to a lesser charge and that was accepted. Could not have asked him to do anymore. Thanks Ed!

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.
