My deepest gratitude for Pouria's ability to help me rise above horrendous circumstances and keep going
Pouria is enigmatic with his superior attention to detail and talented ability to provide valuable solutions during highly emotional and confusing legal scenarios. I contacted him for a consult regarding an incident that had left me bewildered and disoriented. I am ever so grateful for Pouria...
