Experienced Litigator

Mr. Payab is an experienced litigator who zealously advocates for his clients. He successfully settled a breach of oral contract case without any third-party witnesses for millions of dollars. He is a tenacious adversary who is not afraid to take on difficult cases.

Detail-oriented and helpful session

I thank Mr. Payab a lot for listening to us very carefully and giving advice on our issue. He is open to help you and answer any question you have. I met him in his legal counseling service at USC and I am glad that we students are able to consult him about any issue we might have.

Highly professional, articulate, experienced, and thorough. Exceeded my expectations.

David listened carefully to the details of my situation. He was very approachable and easy to communicate with. He was able to address all my concerns and ask precisely the right questions to sort through the issues. He was patient with my questions and forthright with his answers. I'm extremely ...thankful to have been able to speak to David.

Excellent Lawyer

I have been seeing Mr. Payab at USC for the last year on and off whenever I have run into legal issues with my landlord. He is patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. I am always thoroughly satisfied with his services and plan to keep seeing him. I don't know what I would do without his a...dvice!

Attorney you can count on

Lawyer Payab is by far one of the best, if not the best lawyer I have ever spoken with. A few weeks ago I realized that I needed a legal protection but don't know exactly how to approach it. I dropped Lawyer Payab whom I only know via LinkedIn a note to speak with him. He immediately replied and inst...ructed me to call his office and asked for his assistant. When I called his assistant she listened carefully to my story, asked me a few questions and told me she will let the lawyer knows and they will call me back. The next day , Friday when Lawyer Payab called we couldn't talk but he managed to call me back on Saturday. At the beginning of the call he read the note from his assistant to me. That alone blew my mind. I was amazed about how she summarized our conversation in such a professional manner without missing a point , despite my heavy accent. On the phone that day, Lawyer Payab thoroughly explained all legal options advantages and possible risks to me. By the end of the phone conversation, I said to myself, this is exactly the person I need at this time of my life. I felt like someone who has just won a major battle. I felt confident and emotionally stronger than ever. Even though I haven't met Lawyer Payab and any of his staff yet, I could tell by the phone conversation that I can receive the highest care and professionalism from him. The phone conversation alone revealed to me how much he knows. All I can say is that the man is great. He has a command over the law and he has a great staff to work with and that is how a legal service ought to be. I will not hesitate to let anyone know how wonderful he is if they should need legal assistance. For me, he will always be a lawyer I will count on. Don't just take my word for it.
