Simply the best, personalized with a tenacious approach

I have had to employ several lawyers in my life and through this experience I have learned that communication can be difficult after hiring. Well that was not the case with Mrs. Alavi. Her response was always timely, her presence is tenacious in the courtroom and you will feel a personalized approac...h to your needs. even after the case. She is reachable and an ally.

Hands down the BEST Criminal Defense Attorney in all of Ocala, Fl

I had a very interesting but difficult criminal case that I needed to be handled ASAP, and was IMMEDIATELY recommended Tania. I know my case was no easy task and she dealt with it with such professionalism, passion and ease and no judgement whatsoever, she knew everything I was going through and was... very sympathetic towards me and my situation and she did nothing but fight for me hours on end, she was always available to me no matter the time and also is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, I will FOREVER be thankful and grateful for Tania Alavi for all she did for me. She saved my future entirely and there’s nothing I can do enough to repay her. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Tania Alavi for ANY criminal, DUI, DWI or Personal Injury case you may have. I wouldn’t even second guess hiring her if you’re in need! This review is as genuine and honest as i can possibly be, and I speak from experience. She is hands down the BEST in all of Marion county.

BEST ATTORNEY

I would recommend Ms. Alvi if your facing any case. She is the best Attorney in Marion County. She responds in a timely manner, she listens without judgment, and all around the board is the only one i would recommend to anyone.

Amazing.

I had to change my lawyers in mid case and Ms. Alavi was highly recommended by a reputable lawyer in Orlando. She exceeded the expectations and recommendation. She was very reachable, communicative, kind, highly professional. She kept me informed and guided me with her legal advice throughout the cas...e. Apart from positive outcome, her communication skills relieved the ongoing stress and anxiety. The change of lawyers in mid case was a tough decision but I am so glad that I did it because of Ms. Alavi. I strongly recommend her.

Violation of probation

My son was arrested and facing up to life in prison on a violation of probation charge with a tough judge. Tania Alavi researched all options for his case. She went above and beyond as his attorney doing way more than just going to court. As a result of her defense my son was reinstated. We cou...ld not be more happy with our results!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Tania is an excellent lawyer. I have had cases with her when both of us have represented co-defendants and I have also sought her advice on multiple occasions on death penalty cases. Tania is knowledgeable, fierce, diligent, and, above all, truly cares for her clients. I have had the opportunity to review motions she has filed and she is an excellent legal writer and researcher. In fact, one motion to suppress that she wrote and I had the pleasure of reading is the best motion to suppress I have ever read. She is a force. I fully endorse her without reservation."
