Behzad Saffary-Khozani

My nightmare started with this guy December 5, 2009 when I located the ad in the paper for quick cheap divorce.....over the phone he stated they were the cheapest around and never really stated the final amount..He stated that he had payment plans and that he would file with $150 which is what I paid... at first...then later he calls and says he needs more money to file. I had taken him a total of $500 which he only had reciepts for $400. I lost my receipt for $100 and he states he had NO records or anything and was unwilling to help me research the payment in his system. HE STATED THAT IF YOU GO TO WALMART U WILL NEED A RECEIPT....now this is all through his Secretary who goes by Mr. Solley. I sought him out of urgency and this is how they get you...at this point...I knew that i had a HUGE problem on my hands. The case is still open but I have decided not to give him the other $100 after hearing about how he scammed other people. I am not sure what I will do from here on...I will definately not give him any more money...the documents he give appear bogus...NO REFUND policy along with crappy service...no phone calls....NO lawyer actually..Never met the lawyer...and u will never get to meet him...

paid him for divorce in may kept getting run around from begining he gave me a bogus case number gave me a bogus court date that i went to come to find out when i left i called the distric clerk divorce never filed he never calls to inform you about another he never answers his phone you always deal ...with mr jay who works in the office but cant tell you nothing but call the lawyer voicemail always full cant leave message paid him cash up front ask for money he said he will give me a new court date how are you going to give me a court date when you never filed and dont want to deal with him and i would not refer him to know one

Mr. Saffary gives attorneys a bad name. From the moment I stepped into his office I was wary, due to the clutter and his absence (an unqualified "secretary" was offering legal advice to clients) but due to my desperation and urgency of situation I continued and hired him to handle my divorce filing. ...I only interacted face to face with him once; within 30 minutes he was telling me, "I can't deal with you...you're getting on my nerves," and passing me off to his assistant to answer simple questions I was asking. Following that unsuccessful meeting I emailed him 3 times within a week to no response; when I attempted to phone him his voicemail box was full so I couldn't leave messages. It all came to a head when I asked for a refund so that I could take my business elsewhere. We agreed to meet- so that he could give me "proof" that he had filed my divorce petition (which the Harris County clerk informed me was not true) and we could discuss the terms of getting a refund. After 3 days of being a no-show at the office, he threatened to press charges against ME for "harassing" his associate and dissuading potential clients from patronizing his firm. He was yet, again, a no-show and refused to come into the office with the documents, which he had offered to do in the first place! His associate (and I) called the police and he attempted to have me arrested, though it was baseless. As an attorney, Mr. Saffary is neither competent, responsible, accessible, or supportive of his clients- his attitude speaks volumes about the content of his character. If you enter into a contract with him, make sure not to pay a red cent until ALL the details of the agreement are determined. He'll take your money, wait a month, and STILL not have your documents filed as requested. You might as well do all the work yourself.
