The best Entertainment Industry Lawter

Rabeh has helped in many ways with setting up my LLC, including international contracts, trademark laws, hiring contractors, really anything I need an explanation for. I would highly recommend her services !

Excellent honest atty

Rabeh listened to the facts of our case and immediately agreed to represent us. We had spoken to several other attorneys who were judgmental and declined taking our case. She fought hard for us, was always responsive to our questions, was caring, and provided sound guidance. She clearly knew the la...w. Rabeh always made us feel at ease and took the time to be supportive while fighting hard. We would not have made it through without her. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Trustworty and reliable.

I hired Rabeh for some business legal advice for our company, and after interviewing a lot of other lawyers, I was very happy we went with her firm. She has a great understanding of the law and was able to break things down for us (we never had experience with legal stuff of this nature before). I wa...s very happy. Thanks again!

Intelligent, ethical, and professional. Best lawyer in Los Angeles.

I am a serial entrepreneur in Los Angeles and have hired over 20 law firms for my diversified companies within the last decade. Ms. Soofi has provided better council than any full service international law firm I have retained. She provides aggressive professional services and makes me feel comfortab...le throughout the legal process. She has a diversified skill set encompassing (but not limited to) litigation, IP, entertainment, corporate compliance, HR, Private equity and venture capital. Ms. Soofi has high ethical standards and makes paying for legal services transparent and frictionless. I feel very fortune to have met her and I look forward to a long term professional relationship. I can't speak highly enough of her and I recommend her to anyone with high standards.

Couldn't Be Happier!

I couldn't be happier having hired Attorney Soofi to help with my child's bullying problem at school. She is really excellent at knowing the law and explaining it in a very easy to understand manner. I have no experience with the legal industry, and I am very thankful that i found her because I have... heard there are a lot of bad lawyers out there who can really take advantage of you.

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.
