I hired Mr. Soleimanian for two cases: One infraction speeding ticket and one misdemeanor traffic offense. The first ticket was dismissed by Trial by Declaration. Great result, though his fee was very high compared to other attorneys. About $900. The second citation was for a misdemeanor of sp...eed ex. I had communicated with Amir a couple of times on the phone before the first court appearance date, and was confident that he knew what he was doing and could get a good result given the weakness of the case against me. I called his office the day before the court date to check in and to let them know I wanted to be updated as soon as possible after court. No problem, they said. On the court date I was told by Amir that the DA needed more time and that there was a continuance for a new court date in 3-4 months. This seemed odd to me and Amir seemed as though he was covering something. About 5 days later I received a call from his office that he had appeared in court that day and that the misdemeanor charge was reduced to a simple speeding infraction and I had a relatively modest fee to pay the court. Fantastic news! Today I went to the court to pay the fine in person and request a copy of the court minutes. To my shock and dismay upon reviewing the minutes, I found that no one from Amir's team had been present on the original court date, and the judge had issued a BENCH WARRANT. I am not sure how an attorney who has been practicing for as long as Amir has and one who charges such high fees could fail to appear on my behalf. Fortunately the bench warrant was recalled a few days later, but Amir personally lied to me about what had transpired and failed to disclose his ineptitude. I am relieved that the matters are behind me, but I would never hire Amir again, and I wanted to share my experience.
