Very Knowledgeable Corporate Attorney

In the last 3 years several partners and I formed a corporate entity with Mr. Samini's help in an effort to develop and commercialize a product concept. Keyvan Samini assisted us from beginning to end, and further was able to negotiate and obtain $3,000,000 in venture capital funding for our corpora...tion. The business structure he has put in place was been extremely solid and his advice was not only helpful, but in retrospect we would not have been able to succeed without his involvement and direction.

Excellent trial lawyer

Mr. Keyvan Samini represented our company in a dispute involving the sale of a commercial property in Los Angeles. We retained another attorney at the beginning of the case, but based on a referral we retained Mr. Samini to defend us in the upcoming trial in the Los Angeles Superior Court. Mr. Sami...ni was able to prepare the case extremely well within a short period of time, interviewing witnesses, preparing exhibits and presenting the case to the jury effectively. He was extremely well spoken, especially during his closing argument. After a two week trial, we won our case.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2012.

Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2012

updated on 10/10/2018

This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.

Keyvan’s comment:

“Thomson Reuters investigated State Bar's allegations and nonetheless named Samini as top 5% of attorneys in California for 2012 and 2019. Attorney's firm represented 4 clients in foreign states against defendant in California. State Bar alleged defendant did not have sufficient ties to California and attorney's firm could not represent clients. Attorney disputed all claims. No state bar association in the 4 states where clients resided made any similar allegations against attorney or his firm.”
