The Best

They're sooo nice. I am really scared of talking to lawyers but these guys treat you like family and don't charge you anything. They do contingency work which means you don't pay anything out of your pocket. When they win your case, you win and they win so from the start, their goals are aligned wit...h yours. Other law firms charge hourly and just try to rack up time to bill you. Not here. They're the best! Call them for any problem. Even non-work related, they'll help you out. I think they've been around for a super long time so no wonder they know what they're doing :)

Rastegar Review

Really helpful and they take their time to actually listen to what I have to say unlike the other law firms that kinda steer you the direction they want. Here, they are flexible and accommodative to your situation Will recommend to all my friends!

Top Quality

I hired Farzad Rastegar for my claim against the company that did not pay me for all my work. My case was complicated but Mr. Rastegar helped me through each step and got me lots of money. Thanks so much!

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.
