Romin Vincent Alavi

I should have known something was wrong when the attorney I met with told me the attorney I spoke with on the phone was not a real attorney. Still, the guy I met seemed to know what he was talking about. They were expensive, and I had to meet my Dad to talk about money. When I came back, I met wit...h Mr. Alavi. Mr. Alavi promised me I would not lose my license and that I would not go to jail and that he would personally represent me and he told me how he treats DUI cases as a judge. He also cut the other guy’s fee by half. That was all he did though. At the first court date some lawyer showed up who I had never met before. He looked like a kid and he looked like he just woke up. He didn’t have a clue about my case and I don’t think he knew what he was doing. He tells me I either have to plea guilty or give up my license that day. I told him no and he panicked and called the office a bunch of times. He told me he couldn’t win the hearing but if I agreed to plea guilty I could keep my license. We were the last ones to leave and all I did was sign a form. I called the office to complain and was told Mr. Alavi would personally take over my case. Then I had to go another court and another lawyer shows up, not Mr. Alavi again. She tells me Alavi is sick and that I had to plea guilty because I previously agreed to. I didn’t understand and I was mad but she convinced me that if I didn’t do this I would go to jail. Here is the kicker though. I did go to jail anyhow. I had to turn myself in and spend the weekend in jail AND I lost my license. When I called the firm Mr. Alavi would not talk to me and his secretary told me there would not be a refund. The only lawyer I liked was not a lawyer and everything the boss told me was not true. I wonder if he is even really a judge.
