I was faced with a DUI refusal after denying a breathalyzer as the arresting officers refused to explain the law to me, I had an out of state license and had just moved here at the time. I called a dozen lawyers offering free consultations and all of them just overwhelmed me and made it sound like th...ey could do no wrong. Elliot was honest right out the gate, told everything to me straight and didn't give me the run around. I found that admirable and chose to hire him to defend me. Elliot fought for me in court for months so I could keep it in the back of my mind and try to get a grip back on my life since this shook me up. After the DA was finally ready to settle due to "problems with proof" he was able to reduce the Refusal charge (which is completely treated like a first DUI, and often has worse reparations) to a plea of No Contest for a Wet Reckless, which will drop off of my record after my three year probation instead of hanging on like a first offense DUI. I was also able to save my license (the DMV happened to lose my paperwork). I was grateful with the reduction because it requires a shorter term alcohol education classes, and I didn't have to buy an interlock device for my car. He always made me feel comfortable and when I had a bad time and was afraid and freaked out he was just a phone call away. He would never turn down a question. I highly recommend him.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!
