HIRE KHALIL SAMAN; IF YOU NEED A GREAT ATTORNEY, YOU HAVE FOUND HIM

Mr. Saman is an excellent attorney that is a complete expert in his field. I had never been arrested before and Mr. Saman explained the process every step of the way. He is very competent and aggressive and will work hard to get your case resolved. In the end, he got my case totally dismissed. If y...ou are looking for a criminal defense attorney (or an attorney in any of the other areas of law he practices), do not waste your time looking any further - hire Khalil Saman to represent you and you will be glad you did.

Posted by Phillip | April 11, 2012 | Criminal Defense

Excellent attorney

I hired Mr. Khalil to represent me in a misdemeanor case. He is very professional and he aggressively fights for your defense. His experience is reflected on the positive outcome of his cases. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone. He is easily accessible. One can always talk to him ...personally by calling his cell phone. He is prompt in returning the calls. Overall he's an excellent attorney.

Great Attorney!

I ended up hiring Mr. Saman as my lawyer when a charter bus sideswiped my car, and then fled the scene. He did a great job of keeping me informed during the process, and he answered all of my questions. I was extremely frustrated with the whole bus situation and Mr. Saman took the time to ease my wor...ries and explain the steps we needed to go through for me to get my settlement. I really appreciated the level of care I received and would recommend him highly.

very good lawyer

good lawyer, kept me out of jail

Posted by Marissa | September 09, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Only money talks with this man.

Hired this attorney for an assault case that I did no wrong in. I got falsely accused and they had zero evidence, nor did ANY of the other party showed up for court. For 8-10,000 bucks your figure if get let free right? This man got me a year of probation and I had to plead guilty to something that n...ever happened. Word of advice..if you don’t have cash on deck with him, he won’t do much for your freedom.

Marissa, I am taken back by your review. You were charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon for stabbing someone with a knife at party full of witnesses that gave statements and were willing to testify against you. You were facing a 2nd Degree Felony carrying 2-20 in prison, yet on the day of trial announcement, I was able to get your case reduced to a misdemeanor with only one year of probation. I explained that we could take your case to trial and I believe you made the right decision in taking the misdemeanor. I understand that you are having issues on probation and want to blame someone. Please feel free to reach out anytime, as always, I will answer your calls.
