The guy to defeat your DUI

Thanks to avvo, I found this very awesome attorney! He's a man of his word and he kicksass. He is a hardcore magician when it comes to dismissing dui cases. I felt very confident when he told me not to worry about anything and let him handled everything. I did what he told and BAM what do you know, C...ASE DISMISSED. This is no joke guys, Mr. Zarabi is your guy to defeat your dui. I can finally go back to my stressfree life. No more driving and getting high. He is very knowledgeble and he really does care a lot for his clients. He is very very affordable and he also had a payment plan available for me. So seriously guys. Please do not think twice about hiring him. All you have to do is give him a call, throw your case at him, and just kick back.

Elliot...ABSOLUTELY

Since I’m not an expert in choosing legal assistance, I was not entirely sure what first steps to take in the vetting process for selection, but I can most certainly say that as I made many phone calls to numerous attorneys none of them were as thorough, reassuring and accommodating as Elliot Zarabi.... I had so many questions prior to selecting my legal aid and he answered each and every one of them without any pressure to come to his office and secure his services with a fee first. He gained my confidence and trust with his honesty and compassion. Also, for me most importantly, at such a difficult time, he did not judge me. Given the unfortunate circumstances I found myself to be in, Elliot simplified the legal process for me and walked me through the required legal proceedings every step of the way. He constantly kept me abreast of any of the slightest changes in my case, and every time I reached out to him with a question, he was available to speak with me and answer my questions, or got back with me in a very timely manner via phone and/or email. In addition, it was very clear that Elliot’s driving force in pursuit of justice on my behalf was not monetary. He is very affordable and understanding. A few times I can recall coming to his office discouraged and in tears because I thought my situation was hopeless, but by the time I left I had a smile on my face and confidence that everything would work out exactly as it should…and it did. From a perspective of accountability, honesty and reality, total dismissal of my charges was not likely but Elliot chiseled away at the multiple charges I was being accused of, got everything reduced down to pretty much nothing and I came out unscathed and winning. I’ll always have to live with any and all consequences for my actions, but Elliot surely helped me avoid the impact of what could have easily been a catastrophic blow to my young adult life.

Elliot Zarabi the BEST of the BEST!!! FIRST class lawyer in all the west!

It was an absolute pleasure and honor working with Elliot Zarabi. I was devastated and felt very worried about the future with my husband’s arrest; he had 2 cases both carrying multiple felonies. I hired Elliot for both cases, He definitely was a miracle worker...from all the felonies my husband was... facing he walked away with 90 days jail and 1 "minor" felony. Elliot worked really hard to win both cases and in my eyes he succeeded tremendously, He is a hero in my daughter’s eyes. He was always at tentative, caring and very human, he was genuine! always kept me in the loop of everything going on...He went above and beyond his "lawyer duty" when he took it upon himself to get legal advice from a Immigration lawyer before making any decisions, since my husband is illegal in this country. This definitely shows the BEST client service no money can buy, it's just priceless! I will always be thankful for everything he did to help my husband and I thru this, He fought till the very end and WON! Thank You ALWAYS!!!

This guy for your DUI

Being a first time dui offender i was very hesitant on who i should hire as my legal representative. Being a college student i was on a very tight budget without the offense so i searched on for a confident, knowledgable, and understanding but financially affordable lawyer. Elliot checked out in all ...of the above. After talking with 3 lawyers prior Elliot; i gave him a call, threw my case at him, he heard me out, then i hired him minutes before my dmv hearing that he handled fairly well. After hearing me out he confidently said, "you have a strong case." Getting a dui is already unfortunate. In my case it was not only unfortunate but it was even more devastating whent it was an avoidable situation. i was sadly at the wrong place at the wrong time. After leaving restraunt having a couple drinks, a couple friends and i left to get a case of beer from the store in the same plaza. After checking out, i get in my car only to roll down my window to a civilian male saying, "you are too drunk to be driving." i did not know this man. after him lecturing me for a couple minutes, i get out of my car and said, "i dont know you, why are you harrassing me?" he responded with, "either get in my car or i am calling the police." surely enough i should have called the police myself however i took the initiative to drive off in fear of getting into his car. driving off i thought i could get away from him because he followed me out of the parking lot chasing me down the road. though i know i was going far past the speed limit i know for a fact i took all legal right turns, yet he states in his statememnt i blew through red lights. moments after i was pulled over by torrance police and was given a sobriety test and a breathalizer where i blew a .12. afterwards i was given a blood test at torrance memorial for accurate blood alcohol level which came out to be a .10. come to find out at c ourt the folowing day the civilian wrote a statememnt against me during my arrest but failed to mention the incident in the parking lot. After elliot heard my case i hired him because he sounded confident in his work. He got me 4months suspension of my license which would have been so much more if i had gone with a public defeander; it could have been a years loss of license. i am allowed a restricted license until march with a mandatory alcohol class and the breathalizer installed into an insured vehicle. in my crimiinal case, i was given a handful of alochol related classes i have to take with minimal fines instead of a months jail time and maximum fines plus a handful of community service. i am thankful beyond belief that i dont have to sit behind bars for that long. The best part of hiring elliot even though i was hoping for a dismissal of the charge was that he was able to bring my charge down to ta wet and reckless rather than a dui! i was given 36 months probation along with the wet and reckless and after that i can have elliot expunge my charge. For a lawyer that did not specialize in dui's he surely did the best he could. We were in and out at my final court appearance with a deal breaker. I would hire elliot again in the future if it came down to it hopefully i wont be running into the law any time soon. This guy is a confident, hard working, and easy going individual. He will definately be one of southbay's most respectable and finest attorneys if he isnt already.
