Extremely Professional & Knowledgeable in Multiple Areas of Law!

I have utilized Mr. Musvi's services on numerous occasions on various issues and he has always responded promptly, efficiently, and with the utmost of professionalism! I have referred numerous friends and family members to him as a result of the positive experiences I have had.

Smart. Well rounded.

We like that Zafar is thorough, diligent and consults other opinions when matters have the potential to be gray. He listens well and he makes you to feel comfortable about picking up the phone for insight. He won't punch the clock until you've decided on actual *work* to be done. I can say that as ...consultants who work the same way, it's nice to have a lawyer who understands this builds better client rapport. As a result, Zafar is the first lawyer we call when we realize something needs a legal mind -- and we feel we're in good hands.

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.
