Saved me

I hired Saif Rahman because I was charged with a second DUI. I was extremely afraid of the outcome but Saif made it less stressful for me. The common consequences for a second DUI is at least 30 days jail time, which for me was not possible because I work and go to school full-time. Saif got me fou...r days jail time which ended up being just two days (half sentence). Saif put the time and afford in my case to give me the minimum sentence possible. He constantly kept me informed with anything new. All the questions I have he knew the answer. When I needed to contact him, He was easy to get a hold of. I definitely would recommend him to anyone that needs an efficient and effective Attorney.

Great Lawyer!

After getting arrested for a DUI, I felt overwhelmed and confused by what was next to come. Mr. Rahman was very helpful in explaining to me what to expect, how to prepare myself, and most of all, he helped me relax. His office is very warming and Mr. Rahman himself is comforting and friendly. Despite... being very intimidating, my day in court went better than expected because of Mr. Rahman's thoroughness. Hopefully I will not have any issues in the future that require legal assistance, but if I do, I know I will be able to trust Mr. Rahman with my case. Will definitely recommend to any friends or family who have legal needs!

Great attorney!

Mr. Rahman represented me in a DUI case in which I had caused an accident. When I first went to court, I did not have a lawyer, and the prosecutor wanted me to plead guilty and do 3 months of jail! Their was no way I could keep my job if I went to jail so I started looking for a lawyer. After speaki...ng to a few DUI attorneys, I felt that he seemed to understand my case best and knew what he was talking about. He told me step by step what the process would be, what to expect in court, and what we should do to obtain the best outcome for my case. It not only seemed like he knew everyone at the court, including the judge and prosecutor on my case, but they all seemed to genuinely like and respect him! After speaking with them, he came and explained to me in detail what I needed to avoid jail and I am glad I followed all of his advice to a tee since it ended up working out great for me. I was able to avoid any jail time and never even missed a day of work. I would highly recommend Mr. Rahman.

"Saif and I worked together for over a year in 2014 in one of the busiest courtrooms in the State of California, Department N12 located at the North Justice Center in Fullerton, CA. The one thing that always struck me about working with Saif was how quickly he was able to solve complex problems with such ease and charm. Nothing ever fazed him. He always smiled and I could see his love for helping clients that were facing immense challenges. He also always got straight to the heart of the issue, and I personally saw that DAs and Judges respected him for it. And in this business, it's all about respect. I highly endorse Saif as your choice for legal counsel."
