amazing law firm

I was really stressed out after calling multiple law firms and they all seemed to have no solution for me but from the first time I called Manshoory Law Group they gave me peace of mind knowing there could be things done around my case to avoid jail time. They always kept me updated with my case and ...I had a direct contact with my lawyer to ease my mind when ever I started to stress out.

Pleased

Manshoory is a reliable and efficient law group. I had a record for over 20 yrs and was nervous about it for years and all I wanted to do was get it expunged from my records. I found Manshoory Law group on Google and reached out. I explained my situation and they immediately reassured me that they ...could help and within no time all the information was found with little given from me but the basics. They represented my case without me having to be present. The case was successfully expunged in a timely manner. I am super grateful and relieved. I would recommend Shaheen Manshoory Law Group any day to anyone looking for real speedy help. Thanks again, you rock!

Brilliant Criminal Defense Lawyer

Manshoory Law Firm is by far the best legal help you can get against your DUI charge. From top notch service, legal advise, to getting your charges dropped & getting the absolute best outcome possible!! We won my case! I was being charged for Second time DUI, they dropped it to a second wet reckless ...driving. Literally did the IMPOSSIBLE for me. (I had High BAC) No jail time, no ankle bracelet, my job was on the line and I got to keep my job as well as getting another chance to get my life in order. I cannot thank them enough! Truly a miracle! Thank God for you guys. I spent quite a lot of time researching online to hire the best. After spending a couple of days of researching and making calls, the team over at Manshoory law firm truly made a connection with me, they truly showed they care and were realistic as far as what could be done. I really appreciated their honesty and when they walked me through the process, I knew I was making the right decision. They have a whole team that is always in contact and guiding you throughout the process. Julie was great, she always made sure I had the documents needed to help the case. Their finance department is also great, they work with you as far as payments. Everyone at their office is pleasant to talk to and easy to work with. Shaheem and Armina worked my case, they are both amazing, kind and extremely knowledgeable. They went to court for me every single time, I work very long hours so this was very helpful! They would call me with updates, explained throughly how court went and what steps we needed to take in order to take action. Both Shaheem and Armina made me feel secured, they were very aggressive, they used tactics my previous lawyer did not use. After a few court battles it seemed there was no hope for me and the prosecutor said there was no way for me to be able to get another wet reckless. All because of me, and the logistics of my case but that did not stopped them, they did no give up! Armina kept reaching out to the prosecutor, she was going back and forward for a whole week!! Let me tell you; these are the kind of lawyers who you need fighting your battles, this is the type of lawyer you need in your corner. I remember this day, it seemed all hope was lost, for a second I was going to loose my job, stability, get second time DUI, jail time all the bad stuff you do not want in your life. However, Armina called with some great news, she had been working all morning and she was able to work out a deal with prosecutor and finally got me a second wet which in my case was impossible!! They got me the absolute best outcome, exactly what we wanted! This is another success story!!! I am proof that they are the best, they got the results we all wanted! I am EXTREMELY happy. To say the least I have learned my lesson, my first wet I was young,reckless and barely remember anything but this one hurt, I felt the pain for a second. I am truly blessed, this is definitely life changing for me and as of now I am currently living life sober. I know it sounds cliche but do not drink and drive, do not even take the chance. If you did, it is not too late, give them a call! They will help you like they did me. Once again, thank you Shaheem, thank you Armina and thank God for Manshoory law firm! I will be staying out of trouble!

Expungement Success

First and for most I would like to thank Manshoory Law Group for their tremendous work with my case. I would like to emphasize the my case part. Everyone’s story is different and every outcome is different. In my situation I was fortunate enough to find the perfect law group (I did my research prior ...to choosing Manshoory LG). As I write this review there are so many emotions going through my mind. The WHAT IFS and WHAT COULD’VE BEEN. Manshoory LG helped expunge my record as a first time offender. From the beginning they were persistent and detailed. Communication every step of the way. I was assisted by 3-4 staff members including the main man himself. And I can safely say the experience did not disappoint. I am glad I received that follow up call from Manshoory LG. I was on the fence about doing this process. Manshoory LG gave me the confidence to move forward and I am happy to say because of Manshoory LG my record has been expunged. Truly all bases were covered and I am happy to close this chapter in my life. Thank you Manshoory Law Group for the service you provide. It will never be forgotten. Highly recommend if you are ever in need of legal services.
