Attorney Farrah Qazi

Indeed, such a pleasure dealing with Farrah as our attorney. She has done our will/trust along with the real estate construction and closing consultancy and legal services. She has been extremely courteous, professional and helpful, always! A very trustworthy person with thorough knowledge in all ...legal matters. Would recommend her, without any reservations! Thanks for a job well done!

Posted by Hart | September 27, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Highly recommend.

I referred my friends to Farrah. She first negotiated an employee contract for me. Since then, she has prepared my family's trust and provided great advice on issues relating to my business. She's smart and friendly and a wonderful lawyer.

Tahir's Estate Planning

Farrah was very thorough with the advise and guidance she provided when she did our estate planning. When we had our review and discussion, it was detailed and she was very meticulous in helping us understand the documents at our level. She was very responsive on the follow-ups that happened after... everything was done and filed. She was very proactive and kept us in the loop by communicating on any potential delays on estate registry's etc. Overall an excellent experience working with her and her team.

excellent

Ms. Qazi was the perfect lawyer to handle our case. She was knowledgeable, articulate, thorough and tremendously fair in her billing practices. She knew the law and was able to think outside the box to solve our problem. She's friendly and easy-going with her clients but assertive too-she'll get your... point across clearly and unequivocally.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
