Best lawyer I've hired.

Around this same time last year, I was in one of those “domestic disturbance situations with the wife “where I asked the police officer too many questions thinking I had rights. Needless to say, I got arrested cause I pissed him off and charged with an exaggerated charge (assault bodily fluid somethi...ng). I wasn't going to let some police officer drag my name through mud cause of his unprofessional-ism. These officers nowadays just arrest you and throw mud at you hoping something sticks. They leave you with the burden of proving yourself innocent with an underpaid & overworked public defendant (aka “let’s make a deal lawyer”). This adds unnecessary stress to your life while costing you time and money. Anyways, I’ll get off my soap box. I decided to contract Khalil to represent me. He is very experience in the sense that he understands the politics within the system. He doesn’t candy coat anything . He keeps it real. What makes him stand out above the rest of the lawyers is that he answers your phone calls even during lunch. Based on my previous experiences with lawyers, this is very hard to come by. The endgame in my situation was that He was able to dismiss my case and kept me well informed on what I need to know. In short, I was impressed with his performance. If my charge wasn’t dismissed, I had no problem having Khalil represent me in trial.

Hands down great attorney and great guy.....

I went into this case thinking I was going to get in to some trouble and have things on my record that I would never want to have. Being my situation I though for a fact that only 1 of the cases would be dropped and that I would have to walk out of there paying alot of money as well as convictions on... my record. I went in to his office in the city, I don't think I could ask for a more down to earth guy, he knows what he is doing. He knows how the system works. Let's just say that I messed up and got lucky. Though most the.luck came from an experienced lawyer who knew what he was doing. I would personally highly recommend Mr. Saman. I have had several different lawyers in the past, most are over bearing ace holes or just plain dumb. Trust me he made happen what I didn't think would happen, he was confident the entire time and when beyond and above to do what ever it took to make my future easier. Call khalil if you want to get taken Care of by someone who actually wants to help and is not looking for that pay day. In the future if anything ever happened Mr Saman will be my go to guy!!!!

a great lawyer

I used Khalil about a year ago for a family domestic violence case which was a felony and with my back round being not the best I knew I was going to need a great lawyer to help. I've used to other layers in the past and from the time I meet Khalil to talk about my case I knew he was a different kind... of lawyer than I've had before. He was aggressive in taking charge in my case and very knowledgeable in what we needed to do to get my case dropped down to a misdemeanor. He's a all around great lawyer who's on your side from the time he takes your case. I know if I ever need a lawyer again who I'm going to call

Hire Mr. Saman now!!!!

This guy is a great attorney, very trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable all around a man of his word. Just like myself , from day one believed in my innocence fault very hard and long to prove I wasn't guilty. Went to extreme lengths to fight for his client without hesitation. Therefore both my ca...ses was dismissed because there wasn't enough sufficient evidence. If your looking to hire a responsible and reliable attorney this is the guy. Why not hire Mr. Saman?

Fantastic lawyer - DWI charges

Mr. Saman was extremely helpful and passionate about defending me during a DWI charge. He listened to my side of the story and thoroughly explained my rights and options. He was very friendly and willing to answer any questions I had at any time. There were several court hearings in which he showed u...p promptly and laid out a successful defense to the DA. He was able to get all DWI charges dropped, saved me thousands in court fines and fees, and most importantly gave me peace of mind during the whole ordeal. I would highly recommend Mr. Saman.
