Criminal Defense - Not Guilty at Trail !

Arvand Naderi is the best criminal defense attorney in Los Angles. I was recently charged with serious Domestic Violence battery and criminal threats thanks to the LAPD! If a woman calls the cops the guy is going to jail! I had initially hired a lawyer based on the recommendation of my bail bonds...men (a bad idea! it’s a racket of crooks!). My first lawyer did NOTHING for close to 3 months. I thought all was going fine as was constantly assured by my first lawyer. That DA is his friend and he will get a good deal. I decided to go show up to court on one of my dates on a Friday and realized I was in big trouble. LA courts are under strict orders to resolve all criminal cases in 90 days. DA would not budge, my first lawyer is a late and couldn’t do crap.Then my case gets called and I hear 4 of 10 and my date is set for next Friday. I realized I needed to fire my current lawyer and hire NEW lawyer ASAP! I researched Arvand Naderi online (yes online!) and was very impressed with his credentials. I connected with Arvand over the phone, emailed him my reports and set up an appointment to meet Thursday as was out of town (1 day before my next court date!). Once I met Arvand in his nice office in Encino I was convinced I had the right guy this time and decided am going to trial! Arvand was gracious enough to put it in writing that if he got a deal from DA that I liked, he would refund the balance. How many lawyers will ever offer that, let alone put it writing on the contract! Everything changed from the day Arvand and I showed up in Court on Friday! Of course this time my first lawyer is EARLY and waiting for me and was literarily begging to keep him. We go in front of judge to ask for a sub of my lawyer (only time I felt good replying yes to judge about firing my first lawyer!) .. Then I realized 4 of 10 means 6 more days to start trial! Arvand realized the seriousness of my charges, refusal of DA to offer me a win-win deal; we decided to go to trial. Next date is set for Monday! I put my life on hold and decide to fight this head on. Arvand gave up his weekend and we began preparing immediately. That Friday I slept good knowing that I finally had someone who will fight for me. Rest as they say is history! We went to trial was found not guilty case dismissed and am a FREE man!!! Arvand was masterful in selecting the jury, opening statements, cross examining witness, including the LAPD cops. He always kept me informed of the case, every day after court he would spend countless hours preparing, including preparing me if needed to testify. He tore the prosecution witness testimony part including the cop who arrested me. In fact Arvand did such a wonderful job that I did not even have to take the stand! The whole process from when I met Arvand to when I was a free man was less than 2 weeks. Thus, I highly recommend Arvand as your criminal defense attorney. Not only he saved my life from ruin, but has made a friend and if ever in trouble (I hope never!) Arvand will be the first person I call! What Arvand achieved in a short time, imagine how he will do when they have the full 90 days to defend you. Good Luck!

Arvand delivered great results!

I had never been arrested or had any dealings with the court system previous to the case for which Arvand represented me. I was very nervous over the potential negative ramifications a felony conviction could have had upon my life, my career and my reputation. Arvand immediately impressed me with a... sense of calmness and confidence. He reassured me that many of my biggest concerns were unfounded and provided me with a realistic assessment of my case. Arvand demonstrated an ability to successfully negotiate with the prosecutors office that resulted in a reduction in the charge against me to a simple misdemeanor. I was extremely happy with the outcome of my case. I felt Arvand was not only very competent but he also took the trouble to understand my circumstances and formulate a strategy that successfully addressed my concerns. Arvand is a great lawyer and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.

Good Lawyers know the law, Great lawyers know the judge

This is not your average lawyer. I was involved in a lot of illegal stuff since I was a teenager so I have had a few lawyers in my corner so trust me when I tell you they are legit. When I was referred to Arvand by a mutual close friend I was like ok let me give this guy a try. Never heard anything a...bout him didn't do any research I went with it because my friend referred me. The first phone call was to a paralegal who i gave my case information to. I was 23 with three felonies, one a violent crime, and i was just pulled over with a handgun loaded with hollow point bullets and a ounce of weed. He quoted me a price and i said ill think about it. I knew my case was not going to be cheap. After about 30 minutes i received a phone call from the paralegal and he told me he spoke to Arvand and he said look were going to work something out can you meet me with x amount of dollars for a down payment. First i was astonished because no lawyer had ever did that and during those thirty minutes prior i did my research and immediately I was like he didn't have to that. I meet with Arvand and from the beginning it felt like i knew him for years. He was cool, never said your f'd or made me feel like a bad guy even though i knew deep down i was f'd and i was a bad guy. He went over the case and said well take it from here. There first offer was 16 months state pen and that's not with the gun charge that was just because i was around the weapon. If i would have said it was mine you do the numbers with my record. To cut a long story short after about a year fighting the case, and if you have been in the system that is not long, he walked in and said how does 90 days sound. I was like i could f'in sleep for 90 days hell yeah. But what separates Arvand was his attitude and him really being their as a friend. That was over 4 years ago and me and Arvand are still friends and we still talk. We see each other when we can but were both busy men, The one thing that I was like man this guy is different is after I was released I went to visit him and he told me your a good smart kid and i don't want you as a client again get your stuff together. Now here I am got a good job, drive a nice car, and Im headed to Cal State Northridge as a Computer Science Major. I love Arvand like a brother and would not change anything that happened cuz i lost some money and a few months but i gained a lifetime brother.

Great Attorney

First time DUI accident, involving several vehicles at my fault. I had never been so scared or nervous in my life, possibly facing suspension of my license and jeopardizing my records. After interviewing several lawyers and not getting anywhere or any straight answers. Finally found Arvand who was gr...eatly recommended. When I met him, his confidence, charm, knowledge from the beginning gave me relieve, straight answers, he gave me the pros and cons of what may the outcome of my case, he right away spoke to me as if he was my lawyer already. He saved me from getting my license suspended and kept my record clean from a DUI. Arvand is a great, knowledgeable, professional, lawyer. Always kept me informed of everything, never kept me waiting or guessing to what was going on. I hope I never need a lawyer again but if I do, I would not hesitate for a second to hire him. Arvand is very well connected with everyone in the courts, very responsible, very informed and always on time. All I could say is, I’m lucky and grateful that I found the best lawyer in the Valley.
