Fantastic

She did everything that was expected, couldn’t have gone through this process without her. She exhausted every possible effort for my case, and was professional and friendly the entire way.

Extraordinary Counselor!

I hired Najda Aslanyan as my attorney, for a DUI I had recieved in 2018. It was my first time dealing with the criminal court system. Najda Aslanyan was very helpful with explaining the entire process. She even when as far as to recommend a Veteran's program, I was not aware of, that in the end, s...he was able to assist me in having my record clean. I highly recommend Najda Aslanyan, she has demnstrated to me, a dedication to abtaining a positive outcome for her clients. She made what was a very scary and uncertain event in my life, bearable I am so grateful to her.

This Lawyer is the best of the best

This woman truly cares about each and every case she takes on. You can bet that if you hire her she will do everything in her power to stand up for you and your rights tirelessly. I’m proud to say that she represented me and did so without Presenting any judgement or shame. I wasn’t just lucky to get... the judgement and sentence that I did. She fought for it. I was hopeless and looking at a hopeless future. She assured me that wasn’t the truth and proved it. My entire life is different today from just 4 years ago and I don’t think it would be if she hadn’t been there to defend me when I needed defending. Thank you.

Great Lawyer

Najda was a great Lawyer, I had multiple questions and she answered every single one of them. I always felt like I could reach out for her about my case. She was honest about my case since the first day I spoke with her and kept me in the loop in every step of the way.

"I have observed Najda in the courtroom on many occasions. I am always impressed by her determination to do what is right for her clients, and her refusal to give in to the prosecutor or judge when she believes that justice requires her to stand firm. Although she will be uncompromising when necessary, she communicates well with other defense attorneys, judges, and prosecutors, and always demonstrates good judgment when deciding how best to approach a particular case. I think she is a very fine lawyer - fearless, and ready, willing, and obviously able to help people in need of criminal defense services. I highly recommend her."
