Knowledgeable, Fair, Caring, Sharp, and thorough!!!

I came across Parwana's profile through a Google Search. I went through a list of at least 10 other attorney's and called each one of them. Many of those lawyers I spoke with sounded like they knew what they were doing and had a lot of experience. But Parwana's thorough explanation about the entire p...rocess, the details she provided, her knowledge and experience stood out right away. I definitely felt more comfortable to give my case to someone like Parwana who cared, had confidence, and fully elaborated all options and scenarios regarding my case. Not to mention the price she offered was a lot more reasonable than some other folks. I totally recommend her if you want a peace of mind about your case.

HONEST

I would like to share my gratitude I have towards Parwana Anwar. I remember calling her one afternoon she personally answered the phone and we met next day. Walking into her office I had so many questions and concerns about my case. She gave me the reassurance that this is going to be lengthy proces...s however, she will review with me my case and will be answering all my questions. She was honest from day one. She is very professional, knowledgeable and patient. As we walked in every court meeting she walked me through the process and answered all my questions and concerns. She never kept in the dark no matter how delicate the issue was. She is a hard worker, focuses on the case on a personable level. She is also very detail oriented and looks at different angles to find justice. I must say she is very intelligent; even the judge that ruled on my case complimented her on her work and her professionalism over the years of practice. I owe her so much for allowing me to redeemed myself. Thank you Parwana so much for your hard work and Dedication in serving the Justice system and for representing me in court. Isabel Cuevas.

Highly Recommend

Attorney Anwar was there for me from the start. She was positive through the whole case and made me feel confident she knew what she was doing. After working with her I will recommend her office to all family and friends.

Best attorney in San Diego!!

It's very stressful to go through a legal situation with an insurance company, & the attorney that represents you is the most important decision one can make. Attorney Anwar is the most professional & knowledgable lawyer I have yet to meet. I felt very fortunate that I chose her to represent my case.... I loved that she made the process very simple for me. I am a type A personality & everything is a big deal, & she was very good at explaining things & making sure that I don't stress unnecessarily. She was always available to answer any questions, & always knew every step that took place. Long story short, she made sure I get every penny I deserved for my case. I am thankful & fully satisfied with her services. I will refer her to anyone who needs an attorney!!
