About Amir
Biography
The Law Offices of Amir Sam Dibaei is a boutique litigation and transactional law firm in West LA providing general counsel to individuals, startups, small to medium businesses, athletes, actors and personalities.
Over the course of 8 years, the Law Offices of Amir Sam Dibaei quickly grew from a solo practice to a boutique firm by focusing on helping the client--not billing the client.
All the attorneys at the firm started as interns. "We're not hiring attorneys from other firms. Our philosophy is simple: if you do what you have always done, you're going to get what you've always gotten. Legal professionals and firms are far, far behind their business counterparts. We are ushering in a new era and to do that we need new lawyers,” says the firm’s senior partner, Amir Dibaei.
The lawyers at the firm may be young but they are the future. "You can't deny it any longer: our attorneys are better, our prices are better, our services are better," says Dibaei. “We are better—I can say that now—but in 4 years everyone else will be saying we are the best.”
"You wouldn't believe how many attorneys start by boasting about their 20, 30, or even 40 years of experience. At the end, the result is always the same: our clients are satisfied." The results speak for themselves.
In the summer of 2016 the firm conducted an internal audit. What they found was astonishing: nearly all of the firm's clients are referrals. Even more astonishing was the fact that 15% of those referrals were from people on the other side. People are satisfied and word about the firm is getting out.
Since 2016 the firm has also added consultation services for Law Firms needing updated or customized tech-solutions; serving as counsel for Content Creators; Influencer Companies; Internet Companies; E-Gaming; as well as creating our own customized in-house softwares to help propel our capabilities far ahead of our peers.
“We call ourselves a ‘boutique’ firm because there is a range in quality that can’t be denied. Our goal is to push the ceiling even higher and separate ourselves even further from our contemporaries. There isn't a single firm that can match our hands-on and legal experience with Technology; Content Creation; E-Commerce; Emerging Regulations; Influencer Agreements; Sponsorships; Endorsements; Social Media Platforms and Helping Various Talented Content Creators; Influencers; Gamers and Niche Leaders operate just as any other business or Celebrity”

The kind of attorney you don't want on the other side
I'm from New York and I found out that in 2006 an attorney filed a complaint against me, took my default and is not trying to collect a judgment. The amount started at $3,700.00 but the attorney is a crooked debt collector and ran up the debt close to $15,000.00. Mr. Dibeai handled my case in stunn...

LLC for apparel brand
When I first approached Amir, I had asked him to file an LLC under a name that’s related to my name. He had an option to file an LLC under any name that was ‘immediately available’ for convenience, but he went above and beyond to file an LLC that was almost impossible to register (INCREDIBLY desirabl...

Fantastic Attorney!!
Mr. Dibaei helped defend my company in a breach of contract action. The person suing me did not pay me and therefore did not receive his shipment. I thought that was simple enough: you don't pay, you don't get anything. That wasn't the "case" :-( My previous attorney had charged me over $8,000.00 to...
Amir Sam Dibaei's Lawyer Endorsements
"Amir is an excellent attorney. I have never hesitated to refer clients to him, as a referral to Amir means the client will be treated fairly and provided top notch legal counsel."
"I endorse this lawyer. Knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent and evident in his pro bono contributions. Client reviews are stellar. READ THEM! Local endorsements are strong. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation."
"It is clear from Amir's education, experience and responses on AVVO that he is a knowledgeable and capable advocate who cares about his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Dibaei is an asset to the AVVO community. He has answered a ton of questions and gives no-nonsense, useful answers in a wide range of legal areas."
"Meeting Amir, I was very impressed by his thorough understanding of the litigation process and his commitment to the profession of law."
"Amir is an extremely knowledgeable attorney whom understands that the practice of law extends to ensuring that his client's have peace of mind. He works tirelessly and effectively to get the best results possible. Most of all, he is one of the most honorable men that I have met and his word is his bond."
"Amir is a strong litigator with unmatched dedication to his clients. His demeanor is professional and collected and a pleasure to work with. Generous with his knowledge and inclusive in the processes, I was able to learn quite a bit from him."
"I met Mr. Dibaei at an event in LA and he was effortlessly the center of attention. When I told him this he replied "I'm usually the smartest guy in the room but if I'm not, I'm the one you'll remember anyways," he said in a completely joking and somewhat self-deprecating manner. About 4 months later we needed a business litigation attorney in LA. I suggested him to our managing partner and we retained Mr. Dibaei as our local LA counsel. Shortly thereafter we switched managing partners and the new partner wanted Mr. Dibaei replaced because she felt he was too inexperienced. To be completely honest I agreed that he may be too inexperienced. When we informed our client that we would be retaining new local counsel--she vehemently refused and echoed my sentiment about his genuineness. Both the partner and I had a chance to work with Mr. Dibaei during the project and immediately realized what a huge mistake we almost made. When it comes to litigators Mr Dibaei is the complete package"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Dibaie consistently provides informative answers that are a cut above. His writing is concise and well reasoned. He does a fine job of observing if any pertinent facts that may be missing from a question, but which could affect the analysis. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Dibaei is a very experienced attorney. He has handled many litigation matters with much success."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"Our firm worked alongside Mr. Dibaei. Mr. Dibaei's client is a startup that is raising capital secured by the company's assets. Our firm represents lenders (banks and hard-money). Our project required we collaborate with Mr. Dibaei to draft lending agreements mutually acceptable to all parties. Based on the adversarial nature of such a set up, there is almost always some level of contention between the attorneys. To the contrary, Mr. Dibaei had done his homework. He had taken the time to acquire previous agreements we had drafted and made changes to address his client's needs as a borrower. Mr. Dibaei possesses a tremendous and comforting presence that made the project go by very smoothly. Our managing partner wanted to create more billable hours so he took issue but Mr. Dibaei masterfully pacified the partner's ego without the project skipping a beat. Perhaps most impressive was his commitment to his client: he had drafted a masterfully tailored operating agreement."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Mr. Dibaei for the vision of his practice and his direct problem solving approach. Cheers!"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"The time a lawyer spends giving back through sites like this show passion for the law and compassion for people. Kudos to you for helping others with sage advice."
