Elliot Rahmim Zarabi

When you get arrested one of the first things that run through your head is what am i going to do? Well one of the first things you need to do is seek legal help and Elliot is that kind of person you want to call. I was charged with two misdemeanors of resisting arrest and later on for charged for po...ssession of a controlled substance (not marijuana) back in March of 2012. I was inundated with attorney mail, offering me legal help and quite honestly did not know who to choose. So i called around, got free consultations and with some attorney's i just didn't feel like they really wanted to help me but just take my money. I called Elliot Zarabi and even in the first phone call i felt like he really wanted to take my case and help. I met with him, explained my case, and was explained how this process works. Right then i knew Elliot was somebody i wanted to work with and i hired him. I was in a place where money was a problem but Elliot worked with me in order to help my resolve my case. During those first few months like anyone i was worried, stressed, and not knowing what would happen but Elliot assured me that i should just relax, not worry and let him handle everything. Surely enough after a few months, i finally received a call from Elliot receiving great news. The two charges against me were dropped to an infraction and a fine. I am relieved, happy, and appreciative of Elliot's work. He worked with me throughout the whole process explaining any questions or concerns i had. Anytime i had a question he was always a phone call away and never too busy for his clients. Extremely recommend this attorney for all your criminal defense needs! Elliot is a good guy and will work with you to get the best outcome!

When I felt all was lost, Elliot was a Godsend. He is the best in the field. He handled my Petty Theft case with ease and was with me every step of the way. He kept me updated and helped me very very patiently with all my queries. I thank God every day of my life for having him on my case. He even ha...ndled my court appearances for me. Very knowledgable and patient. If you have any kind of problem with a criminal defense case, he's the person to approach. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a good ending to their case. Thanks Elliot!!!!! We are indefinitely indebted to you.

I have 4000 characters to write? Where do I begin. I met Mr. Zarabi back in Mid April a few days after I was arrested for felony vandalism and conspiracy to commit a crime. I wrote a question on this website and he was one of the first to get in touch with me and I gave him a call. After calling s...everal lawyers previously, I strongly felt that Mr. Zarabi was there for me and not for the money. He was more into the process of reducing charges way before even discussing a price. It was a STEAL! The price was way better than expected and it was not even his concern. Mr. Zarabi's concern is you! He went ahead and spoke to the DA within the first few weeks of hiring him. At first the filing deputy was leaning to helping us out until he had discovered what all had gone down that night I was arrested. He then became livid and would not budge and pursued changing the charges to 87 counts of vandalism with 25 felonies and 62 misdemeanors. The filing deputy was also requesting a bail increase to 43,000$ with state prison for something I felt was not necessary for prison. Mr. Zarabi comforted me for hours on hours on hours day and night whether it was 3 a.m. and I was having depression. He would answer my text no matter what time it was. Mr. Zarabi answered probably over 1000 text messages. He assured me that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I felt that I was going to be screwed because of the filing attorneys vendetta he had towards me. Mr. Zarabi's plan was to transfer my case to Veterans Court in order to get a lighter sentence. On the first arraignment my bail was to be raised to 43,000$. Mr. Zarabi brought a bail bondsmen in order to keep me out of jail in case. Due to the request for the transfer to veterans court, Mr. Zarabi was able to get my bail review sent to veterans court as well. The bail was there kept at the same it was before and I was not charged anymore money. We were unsuccessful at Veterans court once we transferred strictly because of no nexus that the judge was looking for. There we were sent back to our original court 2 months after the first arraignment. Here we had a 2nd arraignment that had no bail review and was just a plea of not guilty. When Mr. Zarabi entered to talk about settling that day one of the men in the courtroom stated this was a prison case and there would be no settling. Mr. Zarabi did not give up. He kept me looking towards the light and we kept heading towards the end of the tunnel together. Once the last court hearing was upon us, I was praying to be given a second chance for something that shouldn't be able to ruin my life. Mr. Zarabi entered that courtroom with his head held high and spoke with the DA who was given my case after returning from Veterans Court. After fighting for my rights for several months, Mr. Zarabi was able to reduce my charges from 87 counts to 1 count of vandalism. I am currently serving 3 years of probation with 180 days of work release which I chose house arrest. This offering was one in a million and I could not turn it down. Mr. Zarabi fought months to get this plea for me, and I took it without thinking twice. My probation will more than likely stop after a year on good terms and I will be able to continue with my life. I went from looking at a prison sentence that would ruin my life; to a probation sentence that would grant me a 2nd chance. Never take life for granted. Mr. Zarabi can and WILL make sure you cherish life because of the efforts he makes to help you. Your life is his life to him and he treats it as such. He will not promise you anything he cannot 100% confirm. That is why he is my first and probably my last but GREATEST lawyer I could have prayed for. He will not lie to you and spit nonsense. He will tell you what you are looking at and what he will do. And by DAMN he sure did what he said he would. There was a light at the end of the tunnel, and Mr. Zarabi was able to help me get to it. Thank you Elliot, I owe you plenty of drinks!

I had no prior experience with Lawyers. Never a need. I even wondered if it was worth it. I called Elliot after searching this particular site and I could not be happier.He was not only detailed and thorough with his job as an attorney but turned out to be a great guy to boot. He did not disappear... after receiving his retainer, he kept me updated every step of the way, and let me get on with my life while he handled everything! worked with me on paying his fee & never made promises he couldn't keep. When you deal with Elliot you're not dealing with a firm who's gonna hand you off to fresh grads, or gonna have to go to some hole in the wall "office" in highland park behind an auto detail shop. He's the real deal. He told me straight up what I was facing, what we would likely get and what he would go for. He got me a much better than expected outcome without ever promising it. After you are arrested you will get all kinds of ambulance chasing junk mail from attorneys, Why "roll the dice?" I just dealt with the man and I'm telling you as one person who was scared, ashamed and a total wreck, he can make your situation much much easier....Call Him! He's a "straight shooter" 100% if you're on the fence about hiring him, just call, what's the harm, and I guarantee you will not go anywhere else. Can't say enough good things about him. Honestly...Do it! 03.04.12
