Exemplary service to clients and community!

I've been working with Mr. Sharifi for quite some time now. He is thorough, informative, considerate, professional, well versed in practices, and a good friend. He is truly shocking as far as lawyers go and I've worked with many. I would't want anyone else on my side. Go Sharifi! Thank you into infin...ity.

Excellent!! The epitome of everything a lawyer should be.

I contacted Mr. Sharifi when I was looking for a lawyer to handle my tech startup. I needed someone who was knowledgeable and had experience with trademark registration and business formation. We quickly set up an appointment and he took the time to give me an initial consultation detailing the steps... needed to begin my new venture. After concluding our meeting, I knew I had found an excellent lawyer to handle my business. He is knowledgeable, personable and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I have since hired him and my dealings with Mr. Sharifi have been stellar! He is detail oriented, a forward thinker and has the client's best interest at heart. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reputable and ethical lawyer who uses his knowledge and expertise to get the best results for his clients. He is excellent to work with!

Fantastic Counsel

During the course of the last 4 years I have had the pleasure of working very closely with Nima for all of my business entertainment production needs. He is consistent, resourceful, easy to work with, and an overall very talented attorney. Nima has proven track record of delivering excellent results,... maintaining integrity/ethics in our business dealings and also is very fair + competitively priced. In short, Nima is phenomenal and I will be utilizing him for all of my legal needs now and in the future as well. I highly recommend you take a meeting with Nima if you want things to get done right the first time and many more times to come.

Definitely recommend

Nima Sharifi is one of the best attorneys I’m happened to work with. He has provided and still providing a big variety of services (agreements, copyrights, trademark consultations and so on) to few of our projects including our animation production company – ADA Sport, Inc. We are very happy with a q...uality of work and speed of its delivery. Nima is very attentive, knowledgeable and detail oriented. Also he has a very great personality which makes our collaboration a big pleasure. Definitely recommend using his services!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse Nima Sharifi. I had the pleasure of attending law school with Mr. Sharifi. He continues to be a professional, hardworking attorney in his practice today. He is extremely well versed in entertainment law. Just recently, he reviewed a contract for a client of mine dealing with reality television. Not only was he knowledgeable, but he knew how to break down complicated legalise so that the non-attorneys involved could better undestand the legal issues. Mr. Sharifi is always helpful and has a very pleasant personality as well."
