About Saif
Biography
Saif H. Rahman focuses his law practice on criminal defense which he has been practicing exclusively for over 12 years. Before starting his own office, Saif served as a Deputy Public Defender in the County of Orange for over 7 years. During that time, he zealously litigated and advocated thousands of criminal cases with successful results, becoming a very well known and respected attorney throughout the courtrooms of Southern California. Saif also regularly volunteers his time and does pro bono work for the Public Law Center of Orange County.
Saif’s ability to connect with and passionately represent his clients comes as no surprise to those who know him. Although he grew up in southern California, Saif was fortunate to travel and live abroad throughout his youth, developing relationships with people of many diverse backgrounds and cultures, molding him into the caring and understanding advocate he is today. With a family legacy rooted deep in medicine and science, including a Nobel Laureate as a grandfather, Saif enrolled at UC Riverside’s Biomedical program with the goal of becoming a doctor.
“I initially wanted to become a doctor to help those in need, but I quickly realized that with my travels, background, and ability to connect with people, I could better serve people in another way. Just as important as ones health, so is their freedom, fairness, and right against injustice.”
After graduating with honors from UC Riverside, Saif earned his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Southern California School of Law, where he received many awards and distinctions, including serving as the president of the Street Law Foundation, where he provided guidance and advice to inner-city school students.
Away from the courtroom Saif is an avid car enthusiast and amateur race car driver. On any given weekend he can usually be found at various car shows or a local track with his sons enjoying some laps.

Saif Hafeez Rahman's Lawyer Endorsements
"Saif has the unique ability to connect with and passionately represent his clients. He knows the law very well. I endorse this lawyer. If you or someone you know is charged with crime in Orange County or Southern California, make sure you get in touch with Saif Rahman immediately."
"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."
"Saif is a great deal-maker. He can get your drug case resolved with a full dismissal (no Prop 36). He is worth 3 times what he charges. No gimmicks or games."
"Mr. Rahman is one of the most experienced and skilled criminal defense attorneys in Orange County. He has intimate knowledge of the workings of every courthouse in the county and is highly respected amongst judges, district attorneys, and defense attorneys. It is this knowledge, skill, and relationship that enable Mr. Rahman to achieve unbelievable and unexpected results for his clients."
"Saif is an excellent attorney. He previously worked for the Orange County Public Defender's Office so he knows most, if not all, judges and prosecutors in Orange County. Saif has worked on some 7000 cases in his career. I would trust Saif whole-heartedly."
