Strong Knowledge of the Law

Richard Scott Houtz and Shirazi Law Firm did an excellent job with my case. It was a particularly traumatizing time in my life as a result of what happened to me. Richard demonstrated extreme professionalism and strong knowledge of the law, which gave me a sense of security. He was easily accessible ...and showed great effort in handling my case. I am gratified with the outcome and would highly recommend Shirazi Law Firm.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
