Trusting attorey

I'm glad I came to Moaddel for my traffic tickets, they got rid of them in no time and my assistant Cynthia was very communicative with me every step of the way. Glad I hired Dan, I'm in good hands.

Traffic Ticket

21. I had a traffic ticket I was dealing with and so I started calling around for legal counsel. Most of the firms didn't even call me back. Mr. Moaddel promptly returned my call. He told me he didn't handle these types of cases but he took the time to discuss the case with me and offer advice. I was...n't even a client and yet he took the time to help me. Imagine what he can do for you if you are actually his client. Oh, and by the way, his advice was spot on. I won the case using his strategy!

Best lawyer in town

So I just graduated college and I was excited because I was finally done with school but this last quarter has been too much. I was having issues with something that happened to me a while ago and it became a legal burden that graduation wasn’t exciting anymore. Luckily a close friend of mine referre...d me to Moaddel and told me that they could have helped. I wasn’t feeling very confident just because things don’t go my way but I have to say, Moaddel by far surpassed all expectations. They were able to get my case dismissed . It was such a godsend that it happened before I graduated.I was able to enjoy the last few weeks of school. Thank you Moaddel. All of your team was very professional , even though I was annoying calling all the time (I'm sorry) your team always received my calls and always treated me with respect and the attention I needed .

My experience.

I feel nervous talking about this but I really hope it helps you make your decision with Moaddel. They really helped out so here goes: I was invited out to a friend’s party a while back and like all parties there were a lot of drinks. I thought why not have a little fun and I drank. I didn’t drink a ...lot only had a couple of beers and by the end of the night I was good. I decided to drive back home because I was straight. On the way home I was involved in an accident. The cars got wrecked but I was fine and so was the other driver. I was arrested and charged with a felony. Luckily I called Moaddel and they took over immediately. They were able to help me out. It wasn’t easy but they were able to drop my felony down to a misdemeanor and no jail time. Seriously, I didn’t realize how intense they were about helping people out. They even tested my blood at an independent lab to make sure that the police didn’t lie about the results. It took only 3 months, it was insane!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you go to them if you ever need it or even if you don’t SAVE THEM IN YOUR CONTACTS in case you ever find yourself in a situation like this. They are very good at what they do and you will be extremely grateful that you did. They were very kind and were genuinely interested in helping me out. I felt like they cared about helping me more than just finding ways of making money. Literally everyone there was there to help, everyone from Daniel (seriously such a genuinely good person), to the receptionist, and everyone else was amazing. I felt nervous before I stepped in but after that I almost felt the same comfort I feel at home which is weird to say. It’s nice modern office and I noticed this because they use macs, apple TV and iPads throughout the consult! all offices I’ve ever been to look old and dull, these guys are what you call a MODERN law firm! They are truly the best. I hope this helps, I know it’s a bit of a long review but they really do deserve the recognition and I know they’ll be able to help you!

Great Service

You need an attorney!! It all started one night when I was out with all my GFs, we were celebrating my best friend’s birthday party when a drunk girl came up to us arguing saying my friend was looking at her man. We were confused by her statement, no one was looking at her bf and she was over here a...rguing and getting very aggressive. I stood up because she was in front of me and I asked her to please move because she was dropping her whole drink on me. She got angry, threw her drink in my face and slapped me!! her glass broke on the floor and I was completely wet and angry. Her bf came running and pulled her away from all of us. while her bf pulled her away she slipped and stabbed her self with a big piece of broken glass. I was screaming at her mad until I saw blood everywhere, I immediately helped pick her up and waited with her outside until the ambulance arrived. I was very nice even after this and to my surprise when the cops arrived her and her BF said I had stabbed her !!! what the hell!! I was immediately arrested and charged with attempted murder. I hired Moaddel Law Firm and they were able to help me! They investigated my case and found out that there was a lot of evidence to show that the victim was actually the aggressor! they were able to have my case DROPPED !!! and now my life is back to normal. I felt my life was over but thanks to them I now feel like my self again. Their staff is very kind and always attentive. they always called me and kept me up to date with my case. Thank you Daniel Moaddel for helping me! you truly are here to help! I highly recommend him and his firm!
