Worst experience, worst lawyer.

It was the worst consultation of my life only thing this lawyer cares about is herself. She is a poor listener and extremely condescending. She basically told me my case isn’t worth her time because she wouldn’t make money. After talking to other lawyers, she’s just a lazy lawyer who puts in minimal ...effort and collect her fees. It was very obvious during our conversation that she does not care about anyone and she is extremely rude. There’s a reason why she only represents herself and she never had a job with the real law firm.

Knowledgable In Many Areas

I reached out to Saba to help me with a Labor Law Violation from many years prior. After learning WAY more than I wanted to on my own and not getting too far, Saba had an approach that eventually got me a settlement, and emotional closure on the case. This was a very small case, and she still gui...ded me through the process, giving me the time of day, the supporting knowledge that I needed to make decisions, and furnished very effective documents to quickly communicate with opposing counsel. She was very supportive on this case, and even consulted me on another unrelated case, or rather, acted as a lawyer/therapist to reassure me that my assets weren't going to seized. I would absolutely refer her to any one in the near future, and I know that she has my back if I get into any more legal issues. Thank you, Saba!

Fired and pregnant

I hired saba after she showed a lot of interest in my case i got fired from my job after been there for close to 5 years.i got pregnant and got fired right after ..i was very ignorant and lost comfused stressd.i shared my horrible experience with diffrent lawyers but she was the only one determine to... help and showed the most interest which made me decide to go for her..she answer all my messages and calls even though she was very busy..she is very profesional and firm,patient.smart.knows her stuff.i really like her a lot..the only thing that i regret was probably been too nice settling for less money than what i really deserve..but i guess thats my fault..i just wish i was more knowledgable and more greedy..maybe im a good person in hearth .

Ms. Zafar and the Playa Law Firm are the best!

Ms. Zafar and the Playa Law Firm are exceptional. When other law firms declined to take my case, Ms. Zafar saw the validity of my legal claim and was extremely diligent in her efforts to secure a settlement for me. Ms. Zafar was extremely zealous in her legal advocacy on my behalf and really... is a legal genius with respect to employment law. I would highly recommend the Playa Law Firm and Ms. Zafar. If you need an employment lawyer who will fight for your rights, offer the highest quality legal representation, excellent personal service, and sincere compassion, give the Playa Law Firm and Ms. Zafar a call! I am a very satisfied client extremely grateful for the representation and settlement I obtained from the Playa Law Firm. LM
