This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best criminal defense attorney went to harvard law.

Josef is hands down one of the sharpest legal minds I’ve ever met. He’s helped me beat gun charges and handled every criminal case I’ve had. I wasn’t exactly an angel growing up. I made a lot of dumb choices but he always had my back. If you’re reading this, you’ve stumbled onto a real diamond in the... rough. This man went to Harvard Law, and I can honestly say he’s the best attorney you’ll ever find. He’s the only lawyer I trust with my life.

Incredibly kind, caring, and intelligent

Joe handled my case incredibly. He genuinely cares about his clients, and rubs off as genuinely passionate about his own work. He has helped me tremendously.

Saved My Life

I was facing LIFE! My case was complex, lots of medical reports and neuropatholigy. I was charged for murder even though the case was refutable through science and facts. Sadat worked strategically in building my case. Acquiring 2 reputable neuropathologists for my defense, 2 private investig...ators, self defense expert, video expert, and toxicologist. Every single expert on our team was top notch, EXPERTS in their field and provided an extreme value for the case. During cross examination Sadat drilled the Peoples doctors and detectives, practically embarrassing them. The audience laughed at how Sadat had every witness/expert/detective announce their own lies and mistakes. He was a master at his craft playing with children. By the time we were ready for trial the People put 2 prosecutors on our case, due to the overwhelming evidence we had. As a result, I was offered a deal I could not refuse - I took. From life to doing only 4 years (I was a 3 striker), Sadat saved my life! I would not be here if it wasn't for him. Because of him I was able to continue my life 110%. I have been out 2 years now, have a family, started a cleaning business, and now I am in the process of a Merger & Acquisition, and my life is only beginning. Due to my troubled youth, I have had several attorneys, seasoned attorneys. At the time of my case I believe Sadat was 28 years old, and being that I have had my taste in attorneys, I can truly speak from experience that he is really good at what he does. The best attorney I have had. I only wish he also practiced in M&A, because I would hire him again!

"Mr. Sadat brings a unique and effective approach to criminal defense. I had the pleasure of working with him on a felony sales matter. He had great client control, courtroom presence and an understanding of the law. I endorse this lawyer!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Sadat is a true fighter both in and outside the courtroom. His unique ability to create a winning strategy for almost any case causes DA's to fear going to trial against him. In high profile cases where the media pre-judges his client, he knows how to quickly change the narrative. These are talents that are mainly innate and thus uncommon to most passive, sleepy attorneys."

"I endorse this lawyer. Even though I worked with Mr. Sadat for a brief period of time, he has greatly impressed me with his work ethics and desire to help those who cannot pay for an attorney. Mr. Sadat is always ready to accept a new challenge and would go out of his way to seek justice for his clients. I hope we would work on another case together soon!"

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.
