Seppi Esfandi's Lawyer Endorsements
"Seppi is a fierce advocate for his clients. He's the most knowledgeable and passionate criminal defense attorney I've ever seen. I endorse this lawyer."
"Seppi is extremely knowledgeable and well-connected across a range of areas. He is one of the few high-profile LA attorneys who knows how to communicate with any client who might come into the office. He also maintains a comprehensive website that people from all-across the state use to find answers to a variety of legal questions. In 2015, I personally witnessed Seppi handle a case in which a young man was alleged to have been found with several kilograms of narcotics upon arrival at LAX from Mexico - that young man avoided charges in both state and federal court, he kept his green card, and homeland security agents personally returned his cellphones to the office upon Seppi’s request."
"Seppi has been an invaluable resource for my practice, especially crossover criminal/civil issues. He is a trusted colleague."
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked at the same court at Seppi when he was a public defender. He tried and won more cases than any other lawyer assigned to that court."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Esfandi is an excellent lawyer with the skills to fight in court for his clients. I recommend his work."

"" Seppi is an excellent and dedicated attorney who cares about his clients in every aspect of their lives. He knows the law, is well-respected in the legal community and his clients are proud to have him by their side. Just read their reviews of him! I highly recommend him for any criminal matter. I endorse him without hesitation.""
