excellent employment lawyer, very smart and diplomatic.

I was referred to Law Offices of Hasbini by a friend. I had a serious labor and employment issue with my former employer. I came and talked to Mr. Hasbini about my employment issue. Mr. Hasbini was very straightforward and trustworthy lawyer and explained to me my legal options and how long they would take. Mr Hasbini was very patient, experienced, and knowledgable, and took my case very seriously. My ex-employer used to be very racist with me and used explicitly harassing and sexually offensive remarks as well as racial slurs, every day while I'm working. My ex-boss also made me work many overtime hours and did not pay me overtime or give me my meal and rest breaks. I didn't know my legal rights or how to deal with my ex-boss, because I am not from America. I came to Hasbini law firm and explained to Mr. Habib Hasbini my situation. Mr. Hasbini explained to me my legal rights in this country and my wage and hour rights and specifically my right to work in a discrimination-free environment. Few months after I filed a lawsuit against my former employer, Mr. Hasbini was able to resolve my case and got me good settlement. I was very happy with my settlement. THANK YOU Mr. Hasbini for getting me the compensation and settlement I deserve. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Law Offices of Hasbini for any labor and employment issue at work. He did an excellent job in my case

San Diego best Immigration lawyer

Habib is very personable and extremely professional. Trusting him with my immigration case was the best decision that I've ever made. He helped me through the entire process and made sure that we provided a solid case. He was always there for me anytime I needed him with any questions or worry. ONE week after he filed my case, I got a notice that it was approved. His knowledge and expertise in the immigration law can turn your life from a blur into a flourishing stability. I highly recommend him.

Professionalism and Dedication

I have known Habib for several years now. We have worked together on numerous complex cases many of which have been very challenging. They required attention to details and proactiveness. Habib treats every client as if they are his only ones! He spends adequate face to face time with every client to understand their concerns and subsequently address them through creative solutions. He makes sure client is completely aware of the process by explaining all further steps in details which is always well received from the clients’ side. Furthermore; he identifies all potential issues to arise and provides contingency plans which requires significant effort from his part! He is very personal and friendly while being very respectful, diligent and professional. I enjoy working with Habib as I watch his professionalism, hard work, dedication and passion to his work. I welcome any future opportunity to work with him!
