Elliot Zarabi is ON the J.O.B.

From the outset, Mr. Zarabi was quick to respond to my inquiry regarding my legal issue. He gave me the rundown on what to expect going forward. He also informed me of all of what he would do during the entire process. Very personable and understanding of my predicament. As bad as I felt, he w...as very reassuring and made me feel comfortable with the process. I highly recommend him to anyone needing assistance with when confronted with a DUI.

Gladiator and Lawyer Extraordinaire

I found Elliot on this site when I was arrested on a misdemeanor child abuse charge. I was initially given a public defender but after very poor representation I knew that I needed someone that could devote more time to my case. Elliot advised me of my options and honestly assessed that taking this... case to trial may not be in my best interest. After explaining to Elliot the ramifications that this conviction would have on my employment, Elliot went to work trying to secure me a more favorable deal. Unfortunately the Prosecution and I were not able to secure a deal that would not negatively impact my employment, and we were therefore forced to go to trial. With pictorial evidence that would suggest that I did this unforgivable act Elliot and his trial team were able to mount a strong defense to show that these allegations were completely false. Elliot appeared personally invested in the outcome of this trial and did not treat me nor my family as a simple case file, but did treat us with dignity and respect. Elliot believed in my innocence and ferociously defended me and ultimately obtained a NOT GUILTY verdict. I believe I have gained a life long advocate in Elliot Zarabi, and although I hope to never utilize his services again for a criminal matter I can Honestly and Truly recommend him for anyone else legal issues. My family and I are truly gratefully for the Law Office of Elliot R. Zarabi

DUI reduced to Wet Reckless

Elliot contacted me back in July after I put out a request for lawyers to contact me for my DUI arrest. I was scared and had NO idea how to move forward. After speaking to a few attorney's, I knew to choose Elliot right after our first conversation. Off the bat, he walked me through the process of wh...at would happen, and explained things to me thoroughly. I put my trust into him, and that's incredibly hard for me to do with anyone. He was able to lower my DUI charge to a wet reckless, reduce my fines, and most importantly, give me peace of mind. I'd highly recommend Elliot to anyone who unfortunately gets into this position. Thanks again for everything.

Charges for alleged DUI DROPPED. Thank you, Elliot!

I hired my attorney after I was pulled over, under the suspicion, of driving under the influence. The field sobriety test was a bust and the police claimed the breathalyzer test read twice over the legal limit. I had done my research. Needless to say, I was dismayed by what I could find on the web.... I contacted several attorneys and felt strongly inclined towards Elliot Zarabi, Esq. Over the phone, he sounded earnest and, at first, I couldn't point my finger as to why I felt compelled to retain his services. I shared my concerns with him and he assured me he would do whatever was in his power to help me out. He was straightforward as to the possible outcomes and I never once felt misled or patronized (as I have with other attorneys). Our face-to-face made me feel even more at ease and I unloaded my concerns and he was attentive and listened- never once speaking over me- at all times. As an individual who was in a very rough spot, Elliot was able to put my mind at ease. His attorney fees for DUI cases are reasonable, especially given what he accomplished thus far for me. His reply to emails/phone calls/texts were timely and I never once felt neglected. We spoke only a handful of times, as I felt all the reassurance in the world that he was on top of my case. The DMV was rescheduled and what was looming over me was the arraignment. We spoke prior to the date and he had the most wonderful news for me...my case was dropped and I know it was thanks to his representation. My case, from inception to court outcome, was less than two months. My inclination to hire Elliot was spot on and I am happy I stuck with my gut feeling about him (his attorney summary, client reviews, our phone conversation and ultimately, our in-person meeting were all part of that strong compelling feeling that I am now happy I listened to) . I am very pleased with the outcome of my court case and am currently awaiting news from the DMV. I will post back when the verdict is in. At the onset of this ordeal, I felt my situation was dire and the outcome bleak, at best, yet I have nothing but positive information to post. In closing, I endorse Elliot 110% as he went above and beyond for me! Signed, Grateful Client

HIRE HIM!

Elliot is amazing! I could not have asked for a better lawyer! After doing a ton of research and calling several lawyers, Elliot Zarabi was the one that stood out for me. Not only are his prices reasonable, but he was very informative and honest. After getting myself into this situation, he was very ...reassuring and he really wanted to help me. Elliot was able to get me the best possible outcome of the situation which is what he predicted and my case was dismissed. He kept me informed and was there for me every step of the way. Being that I am an EMT, I was worried about my license getting revoked but he went above and beyond and made sure that did not happen. Elliot really cares about his clients and will make sure to fight for you!
