Business and personal bankruptcy assistance

I first went to consult with Mazyar regarding a business and personal bankruptcy. Mazyar was very attentive to my case through the entire process and his personal assistant (Theresa) is very knowledgeable and assisted greatly in helping guide me on decisions to be made. Mazyar and his team did not ...rush through my case just to get paid but took the appropriate time needed to get the best results for me. They were able to have my business bankruptcy finalized and best of all they helped me so I did not have to file a personal bankruptcy. My life is back in order thanks to them.

On top of it!

My company has had Mazy and his team on retainer for 2.5 years, and it has bee the smartest decision for us legally and mentally. We are very confident and happy with our representation. Even if we have a simple question or a massive disaster on our hands, we are always relieved and know that Mazy ...and his team are just a phone call away. Someone always gets back to us the same day we make a phone call; even if it is just to fill us in on what is going on at the time, which is helpful for me so I can sleep better knowing the situation is under review. I have to mention too, that seeing how Mazy and his team handle situations for my company, it was a no-brainer that my husband chose them for legal representation with his business as well. I cannot say how appreciative we are to have a respectable, thorough team behind all our legalities.

Tough Professional

Not just a cookie cutter, fill in the blank thank you very much. Mr Hedayat's experience with Bankruptcy/Restructing gave us the guidance we needed when starting a new company. He knowledge in setting up establishments too "protect them against" bankruptcy, if that happens, helps us focus on growing ...our company knowing our "personal" assets have been addressed. We are "Proactive" with our business, we needed representation that reflects that.....

Very trustworthy, only a phone call away.

I have owned a computer networking business for the past 14 years, and have used Mr. Hedayat's services for the past 11 years or so. He is my first call when I need legal advice. I have always found Mr. Hedayat to have a quick response time, and the ability to tell you the truth, whether you wanted t...o hear it or not. He knows his strengths, and on 1 occasion referred me to a very highly qualified individual in the personal injury arena. Grounded in his family, he treats everyone he meets with professionalism and respect. I have found Mazyar to be a valuable asset to the small business owner, and he's my first call when issues arise. Mr. Hedayat is one of the few attorneys that I would recommend in a heartbeat without reservation. And I can't say that about all the attorneys I've met and interviewed for the various issues that have come up in my life as a small business owner (as Mr. Hedayat can attest to--sometimes I can be a pain in the neck when the system doesn't move as quickly as I would like it to). I've used multiple attorneys for multiple issues, some I would never recommend. Mr. Hedayat has never even been close to that category. One of the few I recommend anytime a client of mine has needs of his services. Mr. Hedayat's billing practices are very fair and reasonable, unlike most attorneys you will run across these days. Mr. Hedayat is very knowledgeable in the various scopes of his practice, and all you need to do is ask Mazy if he can help you. After reviewing your issue, he will do what he can for you (he has never failed me--and I've been in some unusual situations). An excellent individual and first-call attorney for small to medium-sized businesses, in addition to the first call for me regarding personal issues that arrive in life.

Strong Endorsement for Mr. Hedayat

We have worked with Mr. Hedayat on several occasions over the years and he has always been great to work with. Mr. Hedayat advised my wife and I on a number of trade matters, including contract interpretation and review. Ultimately we recommended him to another colleague of ours in the business. His ...patient, methodical approach was helpful in ultimately making our enterprise successful.

"I have served with Mazy on the DuPage County Bar Association Publication Board and know him to be a conscientious man with boundless energy. He is enthusiastic and a very good writer and editor. Though, I have not had the occasion to practice law with him, I would have no hesitancy in referring potential clients to him and believe he would do an excellent job for his client. As the editor-in-chief of the Publication Board he helped create a number of new initiatives including putting the Brief on the web and fully utilizing technology to improve things. He is an innovator, effective communicator, and leader and would undoubtedly bring these skills to bear for his clients."
