Ghazal Sharif

Everybody makes mistakes sometimes in their lives. Whether it's buying an item, walking down a different road, or picking a fight at a bar. No one is perfect. Choosing Ghazal to be my lawyer, however, was without a doubt the best decision I made in 2022. I had, unfortunately, made one of the biggest ...mistake in my life by deciding to drive a friend home from a concert one night believing that I was fully capable of doing so. As it turned out I was definitely not in a position to drive, let alone drive someone else home. The authorities pulled me over from the highway before I harmed anyone. I spent the night in jail to sober up and to reflect on my actions. After being released I realized that I have a big hurdle to overcome. I'm now charged with a DUI/drug in my system. So many thoughts ran through my head: "What comes after this? Will I be able to plead my case? Will my job and career be affected by this?" There was just a mountain of stress that came crashing down. I spent about 2-3 weeks trying to figure out what to do by myself without letting anyone know because this was such a shameful experience. In a moment of weakness, I was bombarded with phone calls and letters and e-mails from all these groups that were trying to 'help' me with my case. I subsequently fell for one of these contacts that tried to cover themselves as part of the DMV, saying I need to pay these fees and do these tasks in order to get the best outcome for my case in court. Little did I know I was being taken advantage of. This was where Ghazal came in. My friend suggested that I look for a lawyer to help with my case so I began looking online and looking at reviews. Ghazal was the first lawyer I looked up and she seemed very promising from the get-go. I continued to look for other options but ultimately I went back and contacted her. I was given free consultation and I told her my situation. She was very understanding and empathetic. The way she communicated with me and assured that I would be okay through all of this made me believe that I chose the best person for this job. Once I hired her as my lawyer she immediately reviewed my case, discussed a timeline on what was going to happen, when, and where it was going to happen. She was vert stern, in the most positive way. She was very communicative and made sure that I was on my feet through the whole process. She even helped me with the group that scammed me out of a lot of money, noting that it had happened before to other clients. My case went on to last a little over a year, and with Ghazal's help, my charges were reduced to a dry-reckless. And during that whole year, I was constantly stressed and always thinking of "what am I going to do? Will I be okay?" Ghazal and I frequently kept in touch; she continued to reassure me and kept her cool. There were many court appearances during that time and Ghazal continued to challenge the court with the evidence to reduce the charges to as low as possible. In addition, I never needed to appear in court as she represented me. I am forever grateful for the work that she does because without her, my career and my life would have taken a sharp turn for the worst. You would be making a mistake not hiring Ghazal. I've made plenty of mistakes in the past and this was not one of them. If I need an attorney again I know that I don't have to look any further--but hopefully never again.

Ghazal Sharif was the lawyer my family hired to help us with a DUI case. She was helpful through the whole process and answered any and all questions that we had with the utmost respect. I certainly appreciated her professionalism and empathy towards us as we went through this experience. I highly r...ecommend her!

It was miracle to find Ghazal. After my DUI case I really didn't know how I could solve it as I'm non U.S. citizen. She made every effort to solve the problem, despite the difficulties about non U.S. citizen also physically stayed outside U.S. Ghazal did not give up and helped to find solution - She ...was always on my side and did everything for me - finally made great outcome as DUI (over .150) to Wet reckless! If you're struggling with DUI, don't hesitate to contact Ghazal. Really appreciated Ghazal's dedication.

Ghazal is really competent in the DUI field. She is proactive and guided me to complete necessary classes ahead of the hearing. She really helped me navigate through the adversity caused by DUI. She got my DUI reduced to a wet reckless charge with some community service in one of the toughest cou...nties, Santa Clara. I believe she got me the best possible outcome given that I also had an enhancement of speeding over 100 miles. If you're an immigrant she can help you with the immigration letter without the need to going to an immigration lawyer. Her payment plans were very helpful to me as well. Overall, you can trust that Ghazal will try to get the best possible outcome for you.

Ghazal made my expungement so easy and practically hands-off. She is very responsive and excellent at providing updates. I had paperwork submitted and a court date within a few days. She is very thorough, explains the whole process, and lays out the different scenarios for you. I only wish I had foun...d her sooner!
