Posted by anonymous | April 11, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Violent Crime

Saved my Life!!!!!!!!!

I was charged with Attempted Murder and looking at going to prison for 31 years to Life. As you can imagine my fear of being wrongful accused of such a serious crime to add to it other attorneys did not believe I was innocent and they were telling me to plea guilty. Shady Yassin was the only attorney... that told me he will fight for me and he did. He took my case to trial and produced a not guilty. He saved my life and allowed to continued my normal life with my family.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"A great criminal defense attorney needs to be aggressive and calculating. Mr. Yassin possesses both of the aforementioned qualities that are imperative to a successful defense. He is quick to shrug off a plea offer and pushes the state to meet its burden. I highly recommend Mr. Yassin."

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.
