Fearless Advocate
I have never had to hire an attorney so the process of finding legal representation was scary because I got turned down a few times. But Navid Kanani was very reassuring and diligently managed my case. The JS Abrams Law office is truly lucky to have Navid advocating for their clients. Navid and Veronica graciously and promptly answered all of my questions. I am located on the opposite end of the State but Navid managed my case seamlessly until the end. I strongly endorse Navid.

Excellent, caring attorney
I was being bullied by a manager and it looked like they were going to fire me without cause. Naveed Kanani and Marcela helped me every step of the way. I end up not getting fired because I had them on my side. The person bullying me was told by her bosses to back off because they didn't want to get sued. I've never had a better experience with a law firm!

The Best
When having to see an attorney more than likely its a time in our lives that most of would not like remember the situation we are faced with. In my case it was a wrongful termination. After searching on line and talking to several firms the one that treated me with respect and listened to every detail was JS Abrams. Navid was the person who worked on my case and he was able to get me a settlement which I was extremely satisfied with. Big shout out to Veronica who helped me not get stressed out and kept me updated on a regular basis. Thank you all so very much. Joe A.

Highly recommended
JS Abrams Law helped me with a lawsuit against my employer. Navid, who personally assisted me through the case was always responsive, professional, courteous, supporting and understanding of my case. It took us over 2 years to settle along with that, I never had to repeat myself when I called, Navid studied my case, knew and remembered the facts and was always well prepared. I didn’t feel like a number, I felt like a person and JS Abrams Law exceeded my expectations in a settlement with my case. I highly recommend their services and thank them from the bottom of my heart for their help and persistence on my behalf.

Highly Satisfied
Navid and Veronica’s dedication to my case has been a professional legal experience that I will hold in high regards. They way in which they communicated each and every step of the process from the beginning was amazing. They ensured I had all documents and necessary evidence(s) to support my case ans gave me plenty of time to submit. Their confidence made my confidence level skyrocket through the roof. Fortunately, I was referred to them from a dear friend that used their services which left him confident that I would be pleased. Needless to say, he wasn’t wrong and although our journey together was lengthy it was worth the ride as we accomplished our goal. I would Highly recommend this company without hesitation. M.J.
