Michael Maz Raheb

Well, I have to be honest. My wife and I got into a dispute and I of course ended up getting arrested. My wife did not want to press charges as she felt that it wasn't fair because neither party was innocent. Anyhow, she called and found Mr. Raheb. He was referred to her from a previous lawyer she ha...d used, Ryan Hamilton (who as well is a GREAT lawyer), who only handled Family Law. She said she spoke to Raheb and she said, "Sure, he sounds a little bit cocky and a little bit outspoken, but THAT is EXACTLY the kind of lawyer you want. Not some meek, mild, and go with the flow kind of guy. You want someone who's proactive and gets the job done." I hired him immediately. My wife is pretty good at making decisions, so I went with her advice. Once I hired Raheb, he immediately had my wife fill out a new sworn affidavit, as the police told her piece by piece what to say in the police statement. (Which was very obvious that she had by the wording that was in the statement.) She agreed. She filled it out honestly and he emailed it to the State Attorney right away. In his words, " I'm not going to sit around and WAIT for the State Attorney to file, I want to stop it before he decides to file. I'm going to email him, I'm going to make calls, and I'm going to try to get this dismissed as quickly as possible." I was impressed. Within a couple of weeks, the State Attorney had thrown out the case, I was able to talk and see my family again, and my military career hadn't been affected. I have 14 years in the Army and it would have definitely hurt my career. But it was a smooth process, I truly truly would recommend you see this guy. He's rough, tough, and gets the job done. You want out of your mess? Believe me----go with this guy!!!! Don't seconds guess, just hire him. Don't end up paying a crazy retainer for some lawyer who acts like your case is "just another case." This guy is your guy.

Caught by the Sheriff for speeding and received 2 citations Driving whilst suspended, disqualified/License expired Panic set in when I realised that I had to attend court, the date being after my proposed return to UK. From the minute I contacted Michael, on a Sunday I was put at ease and confident... that he could act in my best interest. Both charges were dismissed.Michael and Beth are great communicators and kept me informed as to process and outcommes at all stages.The whole episode was handled with great experetise and empathy, I say that as the whole process is so very different from UK law and therefore quite bewildering and frankly frightening, if the court case had not been handled we could have been refused entry into the country on a future occasion Thankyou,thankyou.for the wonderful service you gave me

I had only given him one or two sentence summary of what I was looking for. This is no joke this abuse. Believe these people when they say that he treat you like a nightmare He must have a full schedule in order to just swap people away like their flights. I’m a well educated very polite well manne...red person. I was raised right and treat everyone with respect. So no matter what is written about this review I’m sure it’s a misrepresentation of how it went. Believe these people it’s shockingly true

I hired Mr. Raheb to defend myself in a DUI case. When I first went in to meet with him for a consult, he was on the phone screaming at another client. I should have realized then that this was not the lawyer for me. We sat down, had our consult and Mr. Raheb and his staff were very friendly that... day, although he did keep looking at his watch and I felt rushed throughout the entire consult. I decided to go ahead and hire him that day despite some of the red flags. Worst decision of my life. Throughout the entire case, any time I tried to contact Mr. Raheb his secretary would answer the phone and act like she could answer any questions I had for Mr. Raheb. Once, when I'd had enough and asked for the 3rd time to speak to him, she got very irate with me and started yelling at me over the phone and said he'll have to call you back. Well, guess what.......I never got a phone call back. When I did get the chance to speak with him, he was very rude and short with me as were all off his office staff and the other attorney that works with him. He had recommended that I complete a rehab program and that it would count towards my jail time if I received any. I did 30 days in a rehab facility. On sentencing day, he asked the judge if those 30 days could count towards the jail time, she asked was it in the plea agreement? He said no, so guess what?! The judge said no. Now isn't an attorney supposed to know that it should have been in the plea agreement? I would think a good attorney would. After my sentence was served, I contacted a friends attorney and they said he could think of 100 better lawyers to use than Mr. Raheb. I wish I would have know that prior to hiring him. So please, unless you want a ridiculous plea offer and you like attorneys who won't give you or your case the time of day, stay away from him.
