About Ehsan
Biography
During the course of litigation, clients deserve a lot of attention. They need help, they need money, they need to know what is going on with the case, they need assurance that they will get their day in court quickly, they need justice, they need to know the strength and the weakness of the case , they need to hear a warm, kind, and at the same time, strong voice speaking on their behalf, and they need to know their lawyer is an experienced fighter with a proven track record. I have personally witnessed how in "large" firms, a client is yet another "case" and how their lawyers rarely return the client's call or inform the client of the status of the cases, and how cases take forever to resolve. This is not how I run my office. I am devoted to my clients. I enjoy being a lawyer. I develop a special human bond with my clients. I try to become the voice of hope during a difficult period. And, I am committed to recover the maximum amount of money possible to compensate my clients and their families for their injuries and losses.

An Honest Professional
I was involved in an accident a few months ago while I was riding my bike home from work. A taxi cab driver while parked on the side of the street didn’t look and quickly opened his driver side door. My bike almost immediately crashed into the taxi driver’s door and my body went forward. I had to s...

Excellent Work by Mr. Eftekhari and his staff
I was injured at work and I needed a lawyer. I signed a contract with Mr. Eftekhari. Mr. Eftekhari was excellent. He answered my calls right away and kept me informed all the times. My lawyer cared for me all the time and even when he was busy he answered my questions. I have never dealt with an...

A Lawyer Who Challenges the Stereotypes Associated With Lawyers
Mr. Eftekhari was a godsend. My grandmother suffered a terrible injury at the hands of a group of neglecting caregivers. During the two years after that incident, she and I struggled to take care of her physical needs. I spent many years working to help her return to some state of normal despite all ...

I am very happy with the outcome of my case
I am very thankful to Mr. Eftekhari. My case was denied but he fought for me and he won. He handled my case very responsibly and kept me informed at all times. He did everything he promised. I recommend him because he did an excellent job.

I am overjoyed with the settlement Mr. Eftekhari got for me. It was six times what I expected. He and his staff were very attentive and worked to get me the best settlement possible, keeping me informed throughout the process. I find him to be a man of integrity and ethics. :)
Ehsan Eftekhari's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked together with Ehsan on personal injury cases. Ehsan is very professional, experienced and committed to his clients and achieving the best result possible for their claims."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Eftekhari on many levels, and have developed tremendous respect for his law related talents as well as his humanity and intelligence. We need more lawyers like Mr. Eftekhari in our professional village."
"I have had the opportunity to work with Ehsan Eftekhari on a handful of matters and, quite frankly, it would be a crime for me not to take a few minutes to let fellow attorneys and prospective clients know what a class-act and added-value Ehsan is to the legal profession. Lawyers know what they know and learn what they must. Indeed, that is the least they should (hopefully) do. What sets Ehsan apart, however, is his humanity and ethical DNA. He is ever so cognizant of the human element in each case, often going above and beyond the call of duty to serve as the voice for the voiceless and those who feel intimated by large (and sometimes cruely unreasonable) insurance companies. It is a distinct pleasure to call Ehsan a colleague, because he gives lawyers, such as myself, a good name. I will continue to refer cases to and collaborate with Ehsan on cases, because I know (to quote Allstate, ironically): "They're in Good Hands." Here's to wishing that every lawyer was an Ehsan..."
"I worked with Ehsan in a high-volume, fast paced plaintiff personal injury firm and Ehsan proved his mettle many times over. Ehsan is an extremely effective advocate on behalf of his clients. He works diligently and is extremely knowledgeable."
"I endorse this lawyer. I know Mr. Eftekhari to be a hard working and very knowledgeable attorney. He has cultivated a reputation of an attorney who is successful at prevailing at trials and arbitrations. Oftentimes his clients are presented with very favorable settlement offers early on in the process. He is also a fine individual which makes him a pleasure to work with."
"I endorse Ehsan Eftekhari. He is a tireless worker on behalf of injured victims. The compassion he has for his clients is easy to see. His knowledge of the law is impressive, to say the least. While many people in the personal injury field know the law well, Ehsan is one of the very few who shares his knowledge of the law with his peers. His knowledge of technology is second to none. In fact, if I have a technology question, Ehsan is the first person I turn to. I don't think I am alone in that regard. In summation, you have this lawyer who truly cares about his clients, who is a tireless worker, who knows the law well and who is an ace with the latest technology - what else could an injury victim want in a lawyer? I highly recommend Ehsan Eftekhari."
"I endorse this lawyer’s work. Mr. Eftekhari is a knowledgeable, hard-working, conscientious and thorough plaintiff's personal injury trial attorney. He is both well-liked and well-respected by his colleagues. Mr. Eftekhari exhibits the highest ethical standards. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and is unafraid to take the necessary steps to obtain the most successful results for his clients. He is a credit to our profession."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Ehsan is a hard working lawyer who makes a great effort to get great results for his clients. Ehsan is very intelligent and hard working. He also has great character. On several occasions, he has assisted me with questions of procedure and the law."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Ehsan is a disciplined and knowledgeable attorney. He is dedicated to his clients and to achieving the best possible results in their cases."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Ehsan is diligent in his representation of clients, has advanced knowledge of the use of technology in his practice and in courtroom trial practice, and is wholly committed to his career representing the injured and their families."
