Trustworthy and Helpful

This is such a great law firm! They know exactly what they are doing and really go the extra mile to help the best that they can. They care for every one of the clients no matter how sticky the legal situation may be. They are very dependable, detailed and skilled. No case is too big or too small for... them, they always do their best.

Lifesaver

From personal experience I can honestly say that these guys are the best! I had them help with me a criminal matter that I was involved in and got Moaddel to represent me. He is a highly skilled professional being very well-educated and experienced. From the beginning I knew that I was in good hands.... I didn’t even end up having to show up to court because of how good these guys are.

Trustworthy

This law firm is very affordable and successful; I really recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance. They were truly concerned with helping me, not just taking my money like other law firms that I had hired previously. They made sure to keep constant communication with me by calling, email...ing, and even texting! I felt really secure with how dependable they proved to be. In the end they really helped turn around my case, something other law firms failed to do. Thank you guys so much!

Perfect

This law firm is one of few that actually offer bilingual (Spanish) services. Although I was born in the U.S. I was raised in El Salvador so although I can read and write in English, I have difficulty understand many things, especially more complicated things like legal documents. They were extremely... patient and easy going, really taking their time going over everything in both English and Spanish with me. I easily recommend them to all my family and friends in need of bilingual legal assistance because of how well they assisted me

Great service

I had a personal dilemma come up awhile back and decided to contact Mr.Moaddel with some legal questions regarding the matter. He was really understanding and easy to talk to. He made sure to take his time answering all my questions; I had a much better understanding of my legal stance after our ...conversation. I’m really impressed at how patient and professional he was with me.

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.
