Review Reza Khanjan

Reza is the BEST!!!!!!

Posted by

I talked to a bunch of othe lawyer before hiin Reza. i had a good case that i could have taken to trial. Bu, there were some things that really could have hurt me if it came to light. Reza approached the case in a way that we were able to keeptrial option open if prosecutor didnt find out the info. but when they did i was sure lucky itrusted Reza and his approach. he told me to trust him and that he has beenhandling cases for a long a time. I did trust him because he was always honest and truthful. He always conveyed the offers the prosecutor made even though he knew i didnt want to accept them and always kept me informed. at the end, he waited until i told him if i wanted to accept the final offer and then he told me whtis personal thoughts were. i felt very good and in control because he gave me the knowledge to make the best choice for me. like he always said, "its my consitutinal rights, not his." thanks for helping me get my life back!!!!!

Reza was the straight forward and explained it all!!!

Reza was the most straight forward attorney I talked to and Never told me what I wanted to hear. My case was very embarrassing and I was never intending to take the case to trial. He explained all the offers the da made and explained everything to me. He told me an educated client is the best client so he always got me time to think about da offers and always answered my calls on weekends and nights when I called frantically worried about my case. At the end, he was able to work a deal that I wasn't even expecting and much better than I had hoped!!!!!

Let Reza Do The Worrying!

Posted by

Reza's law firm was recommended to me via a family member who was aware of their reputation. Thankfully, everything that was said about them was true! Ultimately, it was Reza who showed up to court to help me. He fought fiercely for me, and made sure that I understood all the nuances of my case. This really helped me to weigh my options in a sound manner. Reza single handedly got my case dismissed. That's it. It will never appear on any record, nor will it affect my future employment. I couldn't be more grateful to have this man help me in my time of need. Heaven forbid you should ever need a criminal defense attorney. But, should you need one, look no further than Reza and his associates at KN Defense. Thank you Reza!

Absolutely Amazing!!!

Posted by

All i can say is that Reza is by far the best attorney i have ever had and i have had a few. The odds were stacked against us and we still came out on top. If you need so,eone to fight for you, look no further this is your man. Even the people in his lawfirm were professional and extremely polite you could tell they had my best interest at heart and it showed when we were in trial. anyone who has ever been in trial knows the anxiety it brings, but with Reza i wasmt worried for a second.. ok maybe for a second, but still slept well after watching him work and hearing his arguments. What i can say is that i never felt better than i did after having this man represent me. He is hard working, diligent and very thorough. i wish the best for this lawyer and his law firm because they deserve it...

hiring a criminal defense attorney is the last thing I would want to be doing but I needed to. During the process and speaking to a few attorneys i ended up feeling worse until I spoke with Reza. He didn't over sell himself or make the situation more than it was. Straight shooter and one to trust. Thanks

Best lawyer ever!!!

i saw the other reviews saying Reza was encouraging "pleading it out." That is absolutely false. Reza represented me on 3 separate cases and each and every time he was clear!!! It's my decision to take a deal or go to trial. He always gives me this speech about it being my choice and my constitutional rights. He has made that clear every single time he talked to me about my cases. He even goes so far as to explain that it's always his clients choice because he's not the one who's Constitutional Rights are involved. He did send me a review request and I gladly will give this guy help. He has kept me out of jail and always been there for me!!! Oh and the thing about money, he doesn't even deal with money, his office staff does. He tells me the price at the beginning and never asked me for another penny extra. Love that guy!!!!

Very experienced and professional attorney.

I hired Mr. Khanjan roughly a little bit less than 1 year ago. Prior to speaking to Reza, i had consulted with many attorneys for my criminal allegations brought upon me. Of all the lawyers I spoke to, Reza was by far the most curteous and explained to me that I would get the best legal representation that I could buy. Reza went above and beyond my expectations of what i thought was going to be the outcome of my case. He has an amazing working relationship with the DAs office and was always there when I needed to speak to him. He throuoghly explained everything to me in a way I could understand through my entire case. At the end of the day, I was able to avoid jail time and have my charges brought down from a felony to a misdemeanor. Reza throughout the courts knows a lot of people and seems to be highly respected amongst other attorneys from what I could see and I would not hesitate in the slightest to hire Reza again if I ever need him and would reccomend him to any one that I know with legal issues.

Thanks Reza for helping me!

He was able to decrease my charges and I was able to keep my DL to go to school. He was always available to speak to me and kept me informed during the whole legal process. Also, he took time out to write me a letter of recommendation to my nursing school so I can achieve my dream to be an RN. I was able to get my bachelor's in nursing and now I am an RN!! And I love it! I was cleaning out my old computer and found the letter he wrote to my director at my school. I was so lucky that he wasn't like some other lawyers out there that don't even care. He is a great guy. I would hire him again if I run into any other legal problems, but let's hope that never happens again! ;)

I would more than highly recommend Reza Khanjan for your criminal defense needs for many reasons. Other than the 5 points listed in this review I would add such characteristics as "faithful" "diligent" "hard working" "loyal" and most of all "caring". From start to finish Reza has been there for me and my boys. He has been like a son to me and I would trust him with anything. You don't need to do any more research.....Reza is the lawyer for you! That's my story and I'm sticking to it! - Kriste, Huntington Beach CA
