3 years probation instead of 10+ year sentence thanks to Taly and team

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Taly listened with empathy, explained everything clearly, and helped my husband and I make difficult decisions without pressure. We felt supported and confident that Taly had our best interests at heart. He is very strategic and effective, and we are so grateful for his help. Afte...r serving 8 days in prison my husband was able to get 3 years of probation instead of a 10+ year sentence on a conspiracy charge all thanks to Taly and his great team. Without a doubt Taly and team are the best of the best!

Dismissal in the Eastern District

I’m not sure exactly where to begin. Taly assisted me in two fairly complex cases that involves an incredible level of detail. The first case was indicted over 5 years ago and began with a different attorney. After realizing he would not be able to help me, I turned to Taly in hopes of being able to ...put this case behind me. Unfortunately, I was named in a 2nd Federal Indictment a few years later, completely unrelated to the first. After repeatedly claiming my innocence for over a year, Taly was able to secure a full dismissal from the case which was filed in the eastern district of Texas. My family and I truly appreciate Taly’s hard work and guidance through this extraordinarily difficult period of our lives. Although it will take years to recover from the damage that has occurred, we would not be on this path without his counsel and experience.

Excellent Attorney

I would highly recommend Taly Haffar as he is an excellent and compassionate attorney. This past year I needed his services for my son and I can’t believe the good fortunate I had to find him and have him take the case. He was thorough and diligent with his work to get the best possible outcome fo...r my son. He is responsive and he is the one that responds and not someone in his office. This meant so much to me as I often had follow up questions and he was right there to answer them. Furthermore, his infinite patience with me helped to make a very difficult situation a little easier. If you need an excellent criminal defense attorney, then I would highly suggest you hire Taly Haffar.

Great lawyer even better guy

I didn’t have the typical Fed case (gun or drug charges). The details of my case were rather complex and involved several people and a 100k file discovery, Tally went through it and knew the intricate details of the case better than even I did by the end of this nightmare. I was looking at a gui...deline sentence of 3-4 years and I ended up with a year and a day sentence with no probation. The downward variance from my guidelines is very rare and the lack of supervised release after doing time is even rarer. Aside from my outcome, I will say Tally is one of the few Fed attorneys with integrity (based on the experiences of follow inmates I encountered). Many fed attorneys (both public defenders and private attorneys) will go months, or even years without contacting their clients. Tally was the complete opposite and did everything possible to earn his pay. He had regular contact with me and my family, dug deep into the case and exhibited a high level of diligence and competency. If you are unlucky enough to get a 5th circuit case, I would say he’s the only viable option based on everything I learned and saw in the time I spent in Fed detention. He truly is an advocate, not just another attorney going through the motions to get paid.
