Outstanding Lawyer

Bita helped me out last minute on my custody case. She reviewed my case with me and helped me understand the process of the hearing day. She represented me on my court date which was a huge relief since I had no clue what I was supposed to say or do as the responding party hired a lawyer in the begin...ning. The judgment ended up in my favor! She had a very fair flat rate for her services and I would definitely use her on any future cases.

Two traffic sitations

It had been many years since I had last received a traffic citation. Then in 2014 I was cited twice! Needless to say, "I was bummed"! Right away Bita put me at ease. She assured me that she would do all the "foot work", by representing me in court. This was so awesome because I did not have to m...iss work. Bita filed a continuance for both citations. This gave me the opportunity to save money for the possible fines, and it also allowed the possibility for the fines to be dismissed. Ultimately, Bita managed to get the first citation, camera red light, reduced significantly. For the second citation, speeding, she managed to get the case dismissed! At the end of the day, Bita gave me a sense of my case being in good hands! This put me at ease during this stressful time. I would recommend Bita to anyone.

Tremendous help

Bita Ashtari helped in ways that viewed my perception about lawyers. She has turned my confidence in what she stands for and the way she handled my case and given me hope in the legal system. She was able to explain to me exactly what was best for my situation and has been able to turn my situation f...rom grim to a promising change for the better. I could not thank her enough for the work and communication she has done for me.
