only interested in making money for himself

there are some people in this world who are motivated by money more than justice or ethics and unfortunately David is one of those people. his concern is how much can he make for himself, not what is best for others, including his clients.

Very Professional and Attentive!

I contacted David about representing me and he was so attentive and concerned about my situation. He made me feel so comfortable talking to him about my issue and made me feel so much better. He was available whenever I needed to talk, no matter the time, and this was even before we actually had an a...greement. He is very knowledgeable in his profession. I recommend.

Great Lawyer

David Hakimfar is an outstanding attorney… I could not have asked for a better attorney. He returns all calls and was there for any questions that I could come up with. Every step along the way, I was kept informed of the progress, promises were maintained, and things moved quickly... I could not hav...e asked for more! I thank and commend David! I sincerely appreciate all of the help and professionalism shown his firm. Throughout my case, he was always very quick to respond, made himself available during times that most would consider after hours and always patient in explaining the status and details/developments of my case. Far too often, people are eager to write letters or make a phone call to complain, but I wanted to take the time to write to let you know that I am very pleased with the performance, support, professionalism and determination of Mr. Hakimfar.

Excellent, personal service

I needed to find a high-quality lawyer for an immediate situation, which is how I met and hired David Hakimfar. He always provided "above-and-beyond" personal service and was very easy to work with. David is also a hard worker, and was always reassuring until the case concluded. I am happy to recomme...nd attorney David Hakimfar.

Great Attorney

It is a rare moment in life to find a four leaf clover. Now, in my lifetime, I can say I have found my four leaf clover in David Hakimfar. David is a rare find and I was privileged to have found an attorney that is thorough, diligent, passionate, dedicated and most of all compassionate. I had my case... with David and he attacked the case with power, authority and style. He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. If you are in need of a good attorney that is also a good person then I can highly recommend David Hakimfar. You have someone that listens and understands your situation and will do whatever it takes for a fair judgement.

  • 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.
