Elliot is as real and helpful as it gets

I very much appreciated Elliot's no BS and honest approach when dealing with my case. I understand he has several cases and clients going on every day but he always made sure I felt like I was his only one. He said he'll do the best he can and he did. Got my DUI reduced to a lesser sentence and I cou...ldn't have done it without him. Not only is he I think one of the most down to earth lawyers I spoke to ( and I spoke to several phony ones, using the same lines and fear based pressure to hire them, before I hired him) but he's also the most reasonable. And he'll get the job done. He knows what he's doing. I highly recommend him.

There Every Step of the Way

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!

A friend, a Helper & a legal expert I needed...

I was charged for several counts for driving & alcohol related offenses. That one night's mistake was going to ruin my entire life! :( I would like to call elliot, the magician ! :) Elliot really saved my case and his "magic" really worked to get a lower count and get out of probation. I really didn'...t want to get stuck in years and years of paranoia locked in probation. It seems many people do not like to do their own part by researching and discussing your case with attorneys and expect attorneys to be "messiah" all of a sudden in the court. It doesn't work like that, if you want your case to win, you have to help your attorney with research, new ideas and your story ! Attorneys are not "gods", neither prosecutors/judges... They don't know your life and your story... They are also human, so make sure you do your part to work with your attorney & give him/her enough ammunition to help make the best case possibly can! That's the strength of Elliot... He really took time to listened to me and gave me many appointment to meet with him... And he met with prosecutor (one-on-one meeting) to explain my situation and to pretty much plead for mercy & Grace to be flexible. Upto this day Eliot's still helping me... a week ago he came with me to court to help me sort out an issue with clerk office. And not a single penny charged ! His personal hands-on service is what I value the most. Even late nights, he never hesitated to respond to my texts. I was fretting and very anxious of my case and its ramifications, therefore I really needed someone just more than a legal assist... He was personable and took my case personal & serious. Which is how it should be even though I know for many lawyers you just become another file in his/her pile. In a culture that actively promotes alcoholism & its billion dollar industry, Alcohol related offenses have become so common, it has become a automated factory business to pump money for lawyers & cities. Cops have become like robots, issuing tickets ! As a result, Sadly, Good people gets thrown in & get stuck in the nasty court systems and officially get treated like criminals. :( When I go to my classes, I meet many others who just simply let the court throw the book at them and take whatever is given and one leads to another, their entire life is labeled a "criminal" ! I could only wish if they would took their incidents seriously and seek proper legal counsel to achieve the best outcomes so this ugly disorganized court system Won't control their life. Some don't even try ... Truly Sad ! As a result, They endup hating the police, the courts, the law, etc entire Legal system, even become real criminals down the line because they allow small life events converts into huge obstacles that affects their life, careers, family & future. After speaking with many lawyers, I realized elliot Zarabi is the man to help in my case. If you want personable service and friendly care, he's the right guy. Because almost every single bad event happens in our lives (which legal consequences), shouldn't be the end... They all have a way out! Patience with time, and doing your diligence, TRUST ME, Theres a way out ! It all depends on each step you take from there on... That includes getting the right legal counsel. Reach out to many like I did, and settle with the one that suits you & your case the best. Don't let the complications of the law & legal system complicates your life ! Im thankful to Elliot for being there for me... Pretty much day and nights (I used all methods, calls, emails & texts). In life When we feel like we have hit rock bottom, what we really need is not just a lawyer, also a personal friend to comfort us through the hurdles to reach peace of mind. Which is what help us undo the load we have to carry and keeps us sane to face trials in life. The Law is a book, with no feelings, we need the right mediator with feelings to interpret that to us. Again, I'm Thankful to Elliot for outstanding service & care !

A true blessing

I have had several DUI's in my past, and unfortunately, I recently received two more, back to back. I was absolutely devastated and I didn't know what I was going to do. I took to google to search for DUI lawyers in LA, and Elliot was one that popped up. I made several appointments for prospective at...torneys, but when I met Elliot, I knew in my heart, that he was the one. This man is one of the most admirable people I have ever met. He started off letting me do a payment plan, which was awesome. He advised me what I should do to satisfy the courts, and while I was in a detox center, he periodically checked on me to make sure I was doing OK. He spoke with my family (with my approval) with nothing but respect. A part of my plea deal was a slight stent in county, and this man took time out of his day to go through all the check in procedures, and visited me in jail, twice. Every time I talked to him, he would ask how I was doing personally, making sure I was on the straight and narrow. And two years after my incident, he still keeps in contact with me, and is still working on my case. He recently got my DUI's dropped, with the only thing remaining is my restitution. I really cant put into words how truly amazing this guy is, as a person and as an attorney. He is very funny, but he means business. I can say that I am truly blessed by finding him on my attorney search. I couldn't ask for a better representative than Elliot. He will go above and beyond, and will treat you like you are his only client.
