So far his responses have exceeded our expectations. He has provided good advice and helped us understand the law and procedures regarding our issue. He is still working for us and things are not yet resolved but we are very hopeful that he will succeed

Absolute Confidence
I spoke to Mr. Abtahi about a situation regarding criminal defense. He put me at ease despite the fact I did not retain his services. Rest assured he is the FIRST person I would want to represent me in court.
