A Life-Saver!

When I found myself facing a serious, false allegation, I made the right choice in choosing Arvand to represent me. From the start Arvand was committed to righting this wrong. He is very, very knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated. I think what impressed me most was the fact that he persona...lly returned every one of my text messages, emails, and phone calls and in a very timely manner. It felt good to know that he "had my back" from start to finish (and the finish, by the way, was a very good one!). I do not hesitate to recommend Arvand Naderi.

TRUST Arvand!

This was a VERY traumatic experience for me and had to search for a criminal lawyer asap! I called several reputable lawyers and was able to narrow it down to 3. Spent a lot of time and effort to consult and vet each of them and in the end, I chose Arvand. Why? He really cared from start to finish. H...e would put me at ease as I was VERY stressed out! He explained his strategies which was different from the other 2 lawyers. This made me overthink and doubt if I ,made the right decision to select Arvand. Guess what? Arvand is a true professional who genuinely cares for his clients. He manages emails, text and calls with a sense of urgency. He is patient and invests time to answer my numerous queries and even injects a sense of humor to calm me down. In court, he is respectful and cordial with everyone, the judge, sheriff, city attorney etc. Best of all, he knows what he is doing and had my case DISMISSED after 2 hearings. In short, TRUST ARVAND! BTW, to show his genuine care, he even reduced his fee due to my budget. WIN, WIN! Please select and TRUST Arvand! Good luck!

Consult request

Requested a consult with this attorney and never received a response. No acknowledgement whatsoever. Requested consult with 2 other attorneys and received appointments right away. Its common courtesy to at least call back and acknowledge the attempt was made even if the attorney is not interested in... taking the case or even hearing you out. All cases are different but yet the same. Whether the case is big or small. People still want their loved ones represented and heard so that they can use these obstacles as stepping stones to a better future.

Hi. You can shoot me an email or text and let me know when you tried to contact me. I take getting back to clients very seriously, as I know this is an issue that is complained about often by clients that come to me from other attorneys. I actually just saw this review otherwise I would have responded sooner. I don't know who you are or what the case is so I don't know what happened. Fill me in so I can do my best to track down what was missed and when.

Great Lawyer

Arvand is a great lawyer. He was the most passionate about my case out of all the other lawyers I consulted before I consulted him. Other lawyers made me feel like I had no hope and made me feel guilty after hearing my story. Arvand took the time to think about my situation and gave his honest respo...nse on my situation and how he would like to proceed with my case. I had never been charged with a crime and was scared as HELL. I had graduated college a year ago and couldn’t risk my future to a public defender who might of not given my case much thought. I didn’t even know a complaint at the school police station was filed against me for taking a iPhone 5 cell phone that I found next to the computer I was working on. I notified the student employees working in the computer lab and they did not know what to do with it, so I took it. I gave it to the police the next day and was not told I have charges against me. Six months later I get a letter in the mail that the City Attorney is charging me with petty theft. I had a complete mental break down. I was already having a hard time finding a job and could not afford to have a misdemeanor on my record. On my first phone call to Arvand, which lasted about an hour, he gave me information on what would be best for my case. He knows the courts, the judges and prosecuting attorneys very well and can tell you weather you have a good change of getting a dismissal or something else. Also, if you live with family and don’t want to stress them out too, Arvand is very good with keeping things private and can talk to you on the weekends or evenings. He saved my life and my career. Trust him and you won’t regret it! Thanks Arvand. May you keep on gaining success in your career!

The Awesome Arvand!

I work in the Los Angeles Superior court. I've known Arvand for a long time. In fact, I was the court reporter on his very first trial. He kicked ass in that trial! Luckily I've never had to hire a lawyer to represent me, but If I ever did have a need for one, Arvand would be the person I would... call. Believe me, I've seen thousands of lawyers come into court and can count on one hand the ones I would consider hiring. Arvand is at the top of that list. He treats everyone from the judge to the attorneys to the clerks, the bailiffs and, yes, even the court reporters with the utmost respect, and that goes a long way in the eyes of the court. A member of my family had a little run-in with law enforcement in another county so I made a call to Arvand to ask for his advice. He was on the phone with my family member, who was very scared and confused, that same night. He explained to her the process and what she could expect when she went to court. She felt so much better after talking with him. He did this as a favor to me, which not many lawyers would do. She called me afterward and said he had her laughing within five minutes. He has a great "lawyer bedside manner." I know there are many attorneys out there who take a client's money to "represent" them in court, but many times they don't even show up. They'll send an appearance attorney... someone the client did not contract for. I've never known Arvand to send someone to appear for him. If you hire him, HE will represent you and do a great job. Arvand, if you see this, you need to come to see me more often. It's a pleasure to have you in my courtroom, and you know the judge is always happy to see you. I may even buy you lunch.
