Superb Lawyer

Mr. Akbari is a very knowledgeable and compassionate professional. My family are indebted for his dedication to serve our best interest which resulted in a positive outcome. He also showed emotional support, warmth, and compassion for my family while we were going through a very difficult time. I tru...ly trust and respect him and I would refer Mr. Akbari to anyone searching for legal assistance.

Amazing!

Mr. Akbari made a very difficult time in my life MUCH easier. He was very knowledgeable and constantly kept me updated. He did more than this though, he was always several steps ahead in the process and was able to convey what was happening now and what would/could be happening in the future as well.... He was always there to answer any questions or concerns I had no matter what time of day they arose. Ilyas was also able to deliver results. At the end of the day making me feel all warm and fuzzy is great but results are what we are all looking for and believe me he will deliver! I felt comfortable with him from the start through the finish. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable, hard working, compassionate person who can DELIVER results to handle their case then you should certainly speak with Mr. Akbari.

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.
