Caring attorney

Satarah is so kind and caring. She greatly helped me through the administration of my father's estate and she made me feel as if i was her only client. She is compassionate and knowledgeable and id highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Very helpful attorney

I called her office to talk about a garnishment I was facing, she was very nice and actually took my call and talked to me and gave me some general advice about it. She was super helpful and the information she gave me really helped put me in the right direction. she even offered some free and public... resources I could look at and utilize as I couldn't afford to hire her at this time. I really appreciated that she took the time to talk to me eventhough she knew I wasn't going to be hiring her. she really cares about people and helping people and that shows. Thank you!

Superstart Attorney!!!!

hired Setareh to help me with backtaxes and she has been a god send. She has so far resolved all of the issues and we are working on a plan to avoid the same issue in the future. She has been very helpful, nonjudgmental and easy to work with. she is super responsive which is very nice and rare in at...torneys. I don't have to wait days or weeks to get an answer. She calls me back usually the same day. love her and highly recommend her! The best!

REMARKABLE ATTORNEY

I love her so much! I hired her to help with my bankruptcy and student loan issues. I never thought I would be able to be debt free and have a chance at rebulding my life after making some unfortunate and bad financial decisions. my case was quiet complex and so many attornyes had turned me away sayi...ng there was nothing I could do. Satareh was awesome, she not only found a way but charged me a reasonable price and gave me my life back. she was so thorough and explained all of my options costs with each option, and pros and cons of each and helped me make the decision instead of just saying there was nothing that could be done and that basically I would forever be in debt like other attorneys did. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I will never forget what you did for me.

Awesome attorney with lots of experience

We hired Setareh to do our trust. She was so awesome that we had her redo our parents and in-laws as well. She is also now our business attorney and our go-to attorney for any legal issues. We love her and highly recommend her. She is very informed, understanding, kind and passionate about her work. ...She takes the time to really understand your legal needs and then offers reasonable solutions and outside of the box ideas to resolve them. I love that about her.

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.
