This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding Representation at My Unemployment Administrative Hearing

Ms. Nazari did outstanding work representing my case in front of the administrative hearing judge to secure my unemployment benefits. She communicated clearly with me to ensure I understood the process and took her time to listen to all of my questions. Ms. Nazari always had a great attitude and was... genuinely happy to help with my case. She showed great desire to fight for the employee, which made me feel even more confident in her representation on my behalf.

Qualified Legal Advice

I wish I had contacted Ms. Nazari before I had taken the advice of well meaning but unqualified associates. She was able to guide me to the best possible conclusion for my case.

Housing Discrimination Investigated by BOLI

Mrs Nazari helped me the best that I have ever experienced with any other attorney with my Housing Discrimination Case against my Land lord investigated by BOLI. I am very pleased of her work and would recommend her very much to any one who needs a Legal assistant.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
