Highly recommended

Alaleh is an amazing attorney. She dropped my case from felony to misdemeanor for running away from the police. I had no idea what to do since i was in detention waiting to see the judge. She came explained everything to me in french, as it's my mother's tongue, and got me out the same day. After cou...ples of court date i was free. I got out with only a misdemeanor few days of community service as a felony would have permanently revoke my visa. As of today, i got charged with a DUI, so i'm trusting her again with my case. Once again my visa is in danger but i'm sure Alaleh is gonna do wonders. I recommended Alaleh to a friend and will do again to anybody who needs legal help.

Posted by Payam | December 22, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

I had my doubts at first but....

I had to go to her for more a complicated matter, other than an ordinary car accident claim. I found her to be knowledgeable and highly capable of the specific line of work she is most qualified for. I can't get into too much detail here, but I would recommend her services to anyone with complicate...d cases. Type of cases that other lawyers shy away from.

Alaleh is GOOD

Alaleh is very professional and proactive. Ease the doubts in our mind during the case and actions were right on. The practice in NY state for money laundry and drug distribution was excellent.

Absolutely Exceptional!!! Second to None!

Someone in my immediate family was facing very serious criminal charges. We had "interviewed" at least half a dozen of attorneys, and actually hired two to help us assist in the criminal manner. The first attorney just turned out to be the biggest crook, the second one promised the world, but later ...it became apparent that she was attempting to emulate her mentor, but had chosen the wrong profession. Our situation was getting very desperate with each passing day. Finally someone had recommended Alaleh. From the very first meeting with her, it became apparent that this woman was born to do this type of work. She was very professional, yet honest and it was very evident that she was so very astute and intelligent. Alaheh "inherited" a very bad case (not only because of sloppy work of two previous attorneys, but because her new client had extensive criminal history. This woman is a G-d send!! Real miracle worker!!! Throughout the years, I had to work and deal with a lot of attorneys, yet I have NEVER met someone who is so very superb at their job. There has not been a time when she did not return a phone call, or did not respond to your e-mail. She is truly a TOP NOTCH professional who made such an incredible difference in our lives!! If it had not been for Alaleh's exceptional skills, knowledge and reputation, our family member would have been deported. But instead, Alalah had afforded us a second chance in life. If you EVER need someone to handle your criminal matter, your search is over. You will NEVER find anyone that even comes close to Alaleh!!!
