Exceptional Service

I hired Maryam a few years ago and was facing a Felony charge, this could have easily cost me my career and obviously my freedom. I was in a panic for several weeks. Maryam, always returned my calls in a timely fashion(within 1 business day), and took the time to explain what was being done on my b...ehalf, and the steps that I needed to take to stay out of Jail and keep my professional licensing. I eventually had the felony reduced to a misdemeanor and that was dismissed. I am extremely grateful and highly recommend her services!

Best Criminal Defense Attorney-Hands Down!

Attorney Sharifi took the time to thoroughly listen to the issues of my legal matter and provided me the best legal advice for my situation. She was attentive to all my questions and concerns and really made me feel that she had my very best interests in mind. I have recommended her to everyone, in...cluding close friends and family, and will never hesitate to do so again.

Maryam is the best lawyer I've known. Finding a lawyer you can trust is everything, and I am so grateful for the commitment and quality of her work! With Maryam you know you are hiring someone who knows what she is doing and who actually cares. She is so reliable and always available to answer any qu...estions or concerns. I do not want to talk about the specific details of my case, but Maryam went above and beyond to make sure that I was in the best position possible. For someone like myself who has never been in trouble with the law, Maryam explained the process, and laid out all my options very clearly so that I can make the best decision. She communicated with me throughout the whole process and appeared in court on my behalf multiple times to negotiate and reduce my charges. Thank you Maryam for helping me through a difficult time in my life and getting my charges reduced! I received the minimum punishment for my charges. Anyone looking to hire an attorney look no further and hire the best! It will make the process a lot easier knowing that you have hired a knowledge, professional, and trusted attorney!
