Elliot Rahmim Zarabi

I came to Elliot for a consultation to handle my 10 year old felony case. I hadn't completed the terms of my probation, none of it, and I was ready to turn myself in. As it turned out not only was my felony probation violation open, but also a slew of smaller warrants for traffic violations. I co...nsulted with a few different attorneys who were all really great but I decided to go with Elliot and I am very glad that I did. First he met me on a Saturday which was very convenient. He genuinely seemed to care about helping me. He was honest and upfront, didn't make any promises to give me false hope. Which I appreciated as I knew how serious the consequences were going to be. Leading up to court there were many times that I had questions about our strategy and Elliot was always available to reply via email, and take my calls. It felt like I was his only client. In front of the judge where it matter the most, Elliot really came through. When my character came into question, he argued fiercely on my behalf. That's when I was 100% sure that I had made the right choice. In the end I received my best possible outcome, and I have Elliot to thank for that. Out of 4 cases (1 Felony and 3 Misdemeanors) that he handled for me I received positive outcomes in each. I'm extremely fortunate. Every scenario is obviously different and I can't guarantee your outcome. I can however tell you that you can have a little more confidence with Elliot behind you.

My husband received a DUI and we were so scared because he drives for a living. I was referred to him by a coworker who spoke highly of him . From the beginning he was awesome!!! You can reach him anytime and any day of the week. He is a very honest person and he makes a stressful situation easy to h...andle. I highly highly highly recommend him for any DUI case.

A friend referred us to Elliot for my brother's case and needless to say, we were VERY HAPPY with the outcome. Elliot is an amazing negotiator - he was able to get the charge dropped to a misdemeanor with no jail time! We also very much appreciated Elliot's professionalism and kindness. This was a... very stressful and scary situation, but Elliot made sure to explain the entire process to us and was always willing to answer our questions. We highly recommend him. Thanks Elliot!

Earlier this year, I made the worst mistake I've ever made in my life. I'll spare you the details of the night leading into it - just know that before the night was through, I was sleeping on a concrete bed in a holding cell, having been booked for a DUI. These were the worst circumstances I've ever ...faced - I'm not usually prone to mistakes this drastic. But everybody slips up here and there, and that's one thing Elliot helped me realized. It's not the end, rather just a very enduring challenge to take head on. I'm very grateful to have found Elliot as quickly as I did. After being released the next day, I immediately sought help from people close to me who I know could get me through the ugliest of situations. One of my best friends recommended that I use AVVO to shop around for a good, reputable lawyer in my area. This friend highly insisted that I call as many as possible to get a better picture of what kind of legal counsel I could afford, and who would be there to really work hard on my case. It didn't take too long for me to come across Elliot's page on this site. I immediately recognized from his profile picture that he was a bruin - the thumbnail photo is an iconic hallway in front of Royce Hall where all the soon to be grads are still out there taking pictures today. The day after I was released from jail, I was in shock. I couldn't believe something like this could happen to me, especially given my history of working closely alongside law enforcement officials. It took me a while to muster up the courage and start doing as my friend had suggested - step one: find yourself a good lawyer. I must've called about a dozen or so different law offices before I got in touch with Elliot. It was about 9PM on a weekday, and I really didn't expect anyone to answer when I called his office. Yet soon as I called, he was the one to answer my phone. I gave him some basic info on what had happened, and in less than a minute he already had all the pertaining information concerning my arrest and case. I immediately knew at this point Elliot was the attorney to go with, especially given his reasonable rate. Elliot took all the headaches away from this entire ordeal. I didn't even have to show up to court, make annoying phone calls to the DMV, or deal with the hoards of paperwork and insurance issues after the fact. Elliot took care of everything, and made constantly checked up on me to make sure I was taken care of every step of the way. After all the discovery and cross examinations came to a close, I was still facing the DUI charge due to some unfortunate witness statements working against my favor. I was in shock, and couldn't believe what I was still facing. When I met with Elliot to discuss this matter, he even told me I looked like I'd been run over by a bus. But he said to not even worry about anything, to take the whole month off and get myself in a good place and told me that we'd meet back again in a month. A month goes by, I come back from a relaxing vacation and go take care of matters with Elliot. He came back to me with some good news, news that meant there was a chance the DUI charges could be reduced to a wet reckless. We go to court together the next day, and he maintains his professional demeanor. Before going up to the judge, he pulls me outside and tells me we did it. Elliot worked miracles that day, because due to the circumstances I was facing, it was next to impossible to get the DUI charges dropped. Yet he pulled it off, and now here I am sitting comfortably at work, enjoying life as usual (albeit with some added court duties to take care of). The whole process was effortless and worry free, all thanks to the excellent services Elliot was able to provide. I'm glad I went with a UCLA grad to get me through the worst of times, Elliot had my back since the first time I gave his office a ring. Can't go wrong hiring Elliot for any representation you need, he'll get you through all of it. Thank you, Elliot.

This was my second time offense and I was very worried about how this would impact my work, family, and everyday life. I got in touch with Elliot and was immediately put at ease with his demeanor, professionalism, and upfront approach to my case. He was on top of all appearances, communications, and ...was sure to follow up with me regarding next steps. While I do have to pay the consequences for my actions, Eliott was there every step of the way to ensure I was well represented and overall had my back. I definitely recommend his services!
