Posted by Dorothy | December 19, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Dedicated, Passionate & Tenacious Lawyer

Extremely professional, one of the best defense attorneys in the city. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. My husband was facing 2 years of incarceration and potentially house... arrest. Due to Mr. Shafii's persistent approach, meticulous knowledge of the law and mitigation, my husband's sentence was reduced to probation. Navigating through the legal system can be unsettling, especially when you are new at this, but his calm demeanor was instrumental in helping us stay the course. He is honorable and knowledgeable. He is well respected in the legal community and has earned this respect following the values of his faith and commitment to his vocation. He kept us informed from beginning to end. He was easy to communicate with and if we had any issues or questions that needed answering I knew we could speak with him, and if he wasn't available he would return our calls or concerns in a timely manner. I have nothing but praise for this man and the hard work he puts in to every case he takes on. I highly recommend this law firm for any and all criminal defense needs.

Got me results overnight

I was dealing a with a business partner who stole from me few years ago, but the case went criminal due to certain details. The case wasn't moving after 1 year and then I hired Shafi and literally the next day the State prosecutors office was following up and working towards a court date. Best 1 time... session I ever had.

Great aggressive personable attorney

Mr. Shafii did a great job handling my case. I was worried at 1st and called and he told me to relax and he would call me after court date and he did and I was very pleased with the outcome. I also recommended him to a friend of mine who needed help with a DUI and he got his client the minimum Florid...a law allows for a 2nd DUI conviction and another friend who had a drug possession charge and he found a little error the arresting officer had made which in turn got the case dropped. His firms fees are very reasonable compared to other attorneys in the area. I would recommend Mr. Shafii for any of your legal needs
