Sadly Mistreated by Hedieh

I hired this lawyer with all good intentions thinking she had my back and would not only be our lawyer but a long term friend. In the beginning she seemed to listen, care and actually be a good lawyer. I thought she was my friend, but Boy was I fooled. After hiring, I soon realized Hedieh's main inte...rest seemed to be to run up my bill and on numerous occasions I felt that she was just making friends with the other legal council for her own professional interests and benefits. Its well known to the common public that lawyers get together and run up bills responding to pointless emails, calls letters etc. and in this case this is exactly what I felt happened. Many times I had to argue with Hedieh how I wanted the case to go, until I eventually had to relieve Hedieh of her duty. Once I did that all of a sudden I received all these unethical bills which hindered me. I didn't feel it was right and I tried to be reasonable and work it out in a fair manner with Hedieh but instead she had her lawyer friend sue me which ran up more debt. how can you treat a client like this?..someone that was down on their luck and trusted you and gave you their hard earned money. I don't feel that Hedieh ever really cared how I felt about the case or listened to what I asked for. I felt that Hedieh often tried to confuse me and scare me rather than council me and tell me whats really going to happen. Someone that has been through the process over and over generally knows the outcome and that power over a scared or confused person can be devastating especially when it comes to family. I wish I could go back in time and hire someone else that actually cared about me, not just for the money. My family even took Hedieh out to lunches, shared a common nationality and we really thought she was part of the family for a long term relationship. I took almost 2 years to write about my experience because i really wanted to give Hedieh the benefit of the doubt and see if time would allow a fair result. In the end, she wouldn't even take a call from me and told me "contact my attorney". That is funny, I thought you were my attorney. I guess Live and learn. I hope that no one else has this experience that I had because this is not what life is about.

Feel so so bad to have her as my lawyer!!!

My experience with Ms Fazeli was extremely negative. Communication was atrocious: she’ll never ever return my call or email and it’s so hard to reach her. Didn’t have knowledge and experience to help me. She’s very unprofessional but expensive. Rude and arrogant as well. Ms Fazeli never kept her prom...ises. At the beginning she was passionate about my case, but after she consulted with the opposing counsel her attitude changed dramatically and she took the side of the opposing counsel against my interest... She dropped me with no time to find another attorney. I feel so deceived to have Ms Fazeli as my lawyer!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
