Shahin Zamir

One year ago today, on August 31st, 2018 - Attorney Shahin Zamir gave me hope and got me out of a mess I should have never been involved in to begin with. I was arrested for the possession of a controlled substance (a state jail felony) in northern Harris County, Texas. I had never been charged with ...a felony before, never even had a single conviction on my record, and now this case was about to change my life & turn me into a second-class citizen as well as destroy my chances of getting financial aid for college, of ever getting a home in a nice area, and most importantly, of ever getting a good job in my life. After my arrest and posting $100 bond in the county jail, I could never fall asleep for days on end, I had to go for a walk every 20 minutes to avoid going insane, and I felt my life was in jeopardy - all over getting arrested by racist cops who didn't care to let me explain my innocence and just wanted to throw in another person of color in a government cage and enforce the failed "war on drugs". It would have been one thing if the substance was mine, but it wasn't - which made the injustice of my arrest even more awful. The police essentially conducted an investigation in a shady manner, and acted like their wrongful ways were just a typical night of police work for them. It was absolutely disgusting, I was just another innocent man to haul off to jail before their lunch break in the country that incarcerates a quarter of the world's prison population in an extremely punitive system compared to all other industrialized nations - a racist and atrocious system that has its origins through slave patrols and extremely hierarchical structures. I looked on avvo.com for lawyers in Houston - and I had a bad experience with my first lawyer back when I was arrested last time (also my first time/another drug arrest that occurred back in 2013 when I was 18 in high school) who never showed up in court, always had paralegals show up for him, never answered the phone, and ended up getting me deferred adjudication for my misdemeanor drug charge even though it was my first arrest ever. However, Shahin Zamir was different. When I called him, somehow I knew from the very beginning of our first conversation this man would SAVE my life. The fee he charged was reasonable, he appeared more personal to me and wasn't just another lawyer upholding a fake 'professional persona' or a facade - he ACTUALLY seemed like a real friend and you could tell he was relateable to you and vice versa. I found that he knows some Persian as well, which made my mother and I more comfortable and confident in his abilities, since Persian people like looking out for other Persian people. Shahin never made any promises, but in the end, I knew that hiring him as my lawyer would be the best thing I've ever done. He answered just about all of my calls, reassured me he would do his best to represent me and made me feel okay. I thought my case would drag on but he got my case DISMISSED only a month after I got charged! I wasn't expecting that at all - when I walked in court and saw him standing there with a smile on his face, I knew deep inside of me that it was going to be good news, and it turned out to be the BEST news! Shahin, thank you for turning my drug case into a thing of the past, something I can look back at and laugh. Thank you for saving my life and listening to my side of the story. I hope this review helps people reading this who're looking for the best lawyer possible for the best outcome, because if your case is in the Houston area - I highly recommend hiring Shahin Zamir as he has excellent communication, a ton of experience, and connections with the opposing side from when he was a prosecutor. He is well-known!

We hired Shahin to help with a case for a family member. He was extremely professional and gave us clear guidance on exactly what to do to get the case dismissed. I was very glad that we had him on our side during a stressful time! He kept us well informed so we knew what to expect. I cannot recommen...d him highly enough.

I'm not surprised that Mr. Zamir's reviews are at a high rating for I believe he does the necessary tasks to achieve what he says to a client when presented a case. I came to him for help and followed the reviews given to him from this page and as well as Google, I made the right choice when I follow...ed the rest of the reviews given to him. I am truly satisfied with the outcome of my case and the professionalism that he has shown through his work. I felt relieved to see the confidence in his works which gave me a sense of relief when I saw him again in the courthouse. I highly recommend Shahin as a law professional representative.

I was facing a felony assault charge and Shahin was able to get my charge dismissed. He was always available for me to contact and if he wasn’t he timely returned my calls. He never sugar coated anything and told me all my options and road mapped me through the process. I would use him again and reco...mmend him.

This is a review for the truth. You want a lawyer that’s going to be real with you and handle your business like a pro. I had a felony conviction for strangulations 9/1/2018. Four month past and now I’m hearing the case will get dismissed as long as i take anger management. See before all this, i tho...ught my life was over. I thought at the minimum i would have a misdemeanor, but instead i got a second chance at life. I’m 19 and i still got my whole life ahead of me so I’m glad i chose him.This is a perfect lawyer to handle any case. He really helped me get the results i desire and i thank God that he was my lawyer because no one else would’ve handled my case better. I can’t stress enough that I’m free and happy. I would recommend him to anyone so don’t make a mistake with other crappy lawyers . Start off with the best. Thank you Mr. Zamir.
