Saif Hafeez Rahman

Unfortunately my son has had a long history getting in trouble with the law and we had never hired him a private attorney before. We would always use a public defender, and sometimes they were helpful, but other times they didn't seem to care about his case or my son as a person, especially because h...e already had a bad record. Saif was actually one of his public defender's maybe seven or eight years ago, and we remember what made him different was how much he seemed to care, his honesty, and the fact that he gave us his cell phone number, it was unlike any other public offender my son had ever had. He was able to not only negotiate a very fair deal but convince the district attorney to change the charge so my son wouldn't have a strike. My son did a pretty good job of staying out of trouble for a few years after that but unfortunately he had a substance-abuse issue and he got arrested again last year. Because of his record, the district attorney charged him with a felony. He was facing state prison and had a public defender. We asked the public defenders office about having Saif appointed on the case but they told us he had left the office and started his own private practice. After finding his information we set up a consultation and I was so happy to see he was the same honest, knowledgeable, and caring attorney that helped my son many years ago. Although we now had to pay for his services, I couldn't be happier and would honestly have paid double what he quoted after seeing the results he got. My son's case was dismissed out right, and although it was a long process, Saif told us it would be, he kept us informed of everything that was happening, all of the options we had and contingencies he had set up. He also help to get my son enrolled in a drug rehab program which not only help convince the district attorney to dismiss his case but also has helped him immensely. He has now been sober for the longest period of his adult life and I really thank Saif from the bottom of my heart. His skills, his knowledge, his honesty, and his abilities not only have helped save my son but have really heled tighten our family. God bless him

Saif was a godsend after my arrest. He thoroughly explained to me all that was ahead of me and he laid out all the possibilities that can happen with my case. Saif was there every step of the way and was in constant contact. After it was all said and done, he was able to get my case dismissed. Ca...n't praise Saif enough.

Saif is an experienced, sharp, honest attorney that was able to get my case dismissed despite my priors. I have a spotty criminal background and even though the charge I was facing should've been filed as a misdemeanor it was filed as a felony because of my history. The prior charges I had made it a ...challenging case to get a dismissal on because my credibility had been tarnished. Saif was confident that he would be able to get a dismissal for me and did exactly that. He proved to be effective... Also, he is really easy going, incredibly fair with pricing and genuine in his concerns and resolve to establish a favorable outcome for his client. I never felt like he judged me by my past and I also didn't feel like he used my past as leverage against me to pressure me or overcharge me. He is forthright, professional, reasonable and knowledgeable. I hope I don't have any future encounters with the law but if I do I will definitely use his services again. I recommend him to anyone with any legal needs and intend on hiring him to expunge my records once I become eligible because he's now earned my trust.

I had a domestic violence case due to the break up with my Ex during which I was not aware of strict laws implemented for California. In a confused panic state, initially I hired another lawyer to handle my case which after 6 months of worry and uncertainty, it was not getting anywhere. The best this... lawyer promised me was pleading to a lesser charge and taking 52 weeks of classes. After meeting with Saif, he describe the situation to me and explained what steps I need to take to please the district attorney, among which was taking voluntarily anger management classes. After doing so, in less than two months he was able to make a deal with the D.A. to dismiss my case. I learned the valuable lesson that when you are in any type of legal situation, hiring the right lawyer who knows the system makes all the difference in the world. From the beginning, Saif was very sympathetic to my case and he explained why things happened the way it happened and exactly what I need to do to help my case and mitigate the situation. Right from then I knew I was working with an experience and confident lawyer.
