Lawyer that understand YOUR concerns and not just what the law states.

I’m truly thankful for Mr. Sean Dirvishi and his team. From the beginning, he was honest, understanding, and worked with me on a payment plan that fit my situation. He always allowed me to share my perspective, kept it real without being harsh, and guided me through every concern I had. Sean spotted ...key details in my case that completely changed the direction — ultimately leading to a dismissal. His character, professionalism, and commitment speak volumes. If you want a lawyer who genuinely cares, listens, and fights for you, I highly recommend Mr. Dirvishi

Best DWI Lawyer in Houston

What can I say. Sean is the guy! Look no further if you’re looking for an attorney to get the job done. He’s very transparent, honest, and down to earth. If I couldn’t reach him, his staff stepped in and handled as he would. Case didn’t take long to get dismissed. Thank you again Sean, I appreciate ...you.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
