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!

A Stand Up Guy! Hard to come by in lawyers!

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.

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.
