Malalai Farooqi

I can't say enough about Malalai! Got myself into a situation where I was looking at a substantial amount of prison time. Malalai never once judged me and she was very honest about the direction she wanted to go. She was my lawyer throughout this journey, the work she put in was unbelievable. She ...kept me updated and I always had access to her. She answered all of my ridiculous questions and continued to encourage me throughout. At one point Mal made me a promise, and she kept it! I never dreamed of the favorable outcome Mal was able to obtain for me. Mal gave me a chance at life again and the ability to gain all of my rights again. No jail time, 240 days suspended, with 3 years probation! My family and I owe Malalai everything! Having never been in the system, I was worried about at least getting a fair shake. Being a person of color during these trying times, it was refreshing having Mal fight for me. Malalai is an honest, caring, and hardworking lawyer who genuinely cares about her clients. Im sure coming from a diverse firm and background is what makes Mal special! Thank you so much Mal!

I retained the services for a recent DUI case. I have worked in the public sector for over twenty years. my current position requires me to maintain a Class B drivers license. The attorney was able to utilize her skills and experience to negotiate a great outcome for me. I was able to retain my Class... B license and maintained my employment. I was extremely ecstatic about the outcome. The attorney was always professional and took the time to thoroughly explain the details of the case and I was always well informed regarding the status.

So I got stopped last year around Christmas time for a dui and let me tell you it was hell. Most of the officers on scene didn't even feel it necessary to book me or give me the dui but it only takes one. So immediately my girlfriend and I began looking for help and started talking to various of lawy...ers to get a feel as to who can help me. Long story short it took about 11 months to get it settled all because the prosecutors kept rescheduling me and it was tough having this looming over me for so long. However, Malalai and her office were very professional and helpful in many ways than one. She kept in contact with me from beginning to end, and even while I repeatedly called because I was getting nervous. She would take my calls no problem and reassure me there was nothing to worry about. In the end she helped me get the charge down to a wet and reckless and made everything I had to do as part of the agreement very comfortable for me to handle. Truely if it wasn't for her and her office I would have gone crazy and deeply am appreciative and indebted to her work and professionalism. Definitely recommend her and her office without a doubt. Thank you Malalai!

We hired the Law Offices of Michael A. Scafiddi when our daughter was charged with a misdemeanor minor in possession of alcohol while attending a music festival in San Bernardino County. We had never dealt with anything like this before and we were a little apprehensive about the whole process, but f...rom the moment we contacted the Scaffidi Law firm we felt very comfortable with the various people working on our daughter's case. Malalai Farooqi was the attorney assigned to our case and she did an excellent job communicating with us and keeping us informed every step of the way. Our daughter did not have to attend any of the court hearings, everything was handled by phone and email. This was very helpful because we live in San Jose, Ca and if we had to attend court it would have been very inconvenient for us. Malalai was able to negotiate a deal for our daughter and after attending some AA meetings, all charges were dismissed. Our daughter was able to keep her drivers license and for this we are extremely grateful. We would like to thank Malalai and the rest of the team at the Law Offices of Michael A. Scafiddi for turning a bad situation into a positive experience. If you are ever in a similar situation we would definitely recommend Malalai and the team at Scafiddi Law to handle your case.
