This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Looking for someone with experience hire Mr Steven Afghani

I hired Mr Afghani to represent me, he fought my case and we won. Very experienced and professional. I highly recommend his services. Its hard to find attorneys that take a case and really get to work to defend you and thats what Mr Afghani did for me. Thank you so very much.

Failure to represent me in court

I hired Mr. Afghani to represent me in a court matter. A temporary restraining order was issued against me by my step daughter, keeping me from my wife of 34 years. I had doctors, county representatives and social workers, along with friends and neighbors willing to give corroborating evidence that... there was no abuse. At the final court hearing, Mr. Afghani sat while the judge ruled against me. He did not make any argument or even try to produce the evidence or witnesses to the fact that there was no abuse. After the hearing, he ran out of the courtroom and said absolutely nothing to me. I wanted to file an appeal and hire another attorney. He refused to sign the substitution of attorney form until AFTER the deadline to appeal had expired. I now am unable to see my wife without supervision because of this man. For all of this, he charged me over $2500!! I will be filing a report with the state bar as well.

Lying to the police, social services and on declarations, as well as 3 separate witnesses against you weren't helpful. I could not repair your 48 year old problem with $2,500 and one court appearance. When you find one that can, let me know so I can send him more hopeless cases like yours.

  • 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.
