Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have known Amir John Showrai for five years now. Initially, we met as opposing counsel on a case. Over the years, he has both been my opposing counsel and he has successfully mediated several matters for my clients. I have found him to be cordial, professional, and always well-prepared. I enthusiastically recommend him to any potential client whom I cannot help, as well as to any attorney in need of a truly unbiased, neutral, mediator or arbitrator.

Amir John is a kind, caring and compassionate advocate for his clients. He is a highly skilled attorney and I would highly recommend him to anyone with a family law issue.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Amir John is a caring, detailed, knowledgeable advocate and colleague. He has a wide breadth of experience both advocating and mediating for clients in family law matters, and I believe he does whatever is needed to ensure his clients are in the best position they can be in. He is a great colleague in the legal community.

Mr. Showrai is an outstanding attorney and successful advocate for his clients. He is also well respected by court commissioners and judges for his candor and professionalism. I fully endorse Mr. Showrai.
Jenni Hallack, Family Attorney on Dec 8, 2014

I endorse this lawyer. I've worked with Mr. Showrai as opposing counsel and as a mediator. In both instances Mr. Showrai was a pleasure to work with, responsive reasonable, working toward the best options for parties.
Brent Bohan, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 30, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Mr. Showrai has mediated several high conflict cases I have been involved with and has done an outstanding job. He works hard, is extremely reasonable and has a great understanding of the law. He is well respected within the legal community and would be a valuable asset to any prospective client. I am perfectly comfortable endorsing Mr. Showrai as an excellent attorney and a terrific mediator.
Sunitha Anjilvel, Family Attorney on Jan 26, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have worked with Mr Showrai who has mediated several very challenging cases for my clients. He is an outstanding attorney and mediator. He has a unique ability to problem solve complex legal matters fairly and to achieve resolution in even the most contentious cases, He is diligent, prepared and highly ethical. Mr Showrai is able to see both sides clearly in the mediation process thereby ensuring that every mediation he does is meaningful. In addition to having a deep understanding of the law, he has a true gift for approaching clients with calm, understanding, and compassion. There is no question that Mr. Showrai is a consummate professional who serves as a positive example to his fellow attorneys. Mr Showrai has experience as a litigator and is clearly dedicated to his clients who are most fortunate indeed to have him in their corner. I highly recommend Mr Showrai as an attorney and a mediator.
David Nelson, Criminal defense Attorney on Nov 24, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I was involved in a case with Mr. Showrai. He consistently demonstrated strong professionalism and advocacy on behalf of his client. He has a great personality and a fine trial lawyer.
Erica Santos, Divorce and separation Attorney on May 8, 2013
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I have worked with Amir John as opposing counsel, co-counsel and as a mediator. Amir John was diligent in his representation of his client as opposing counsel but still professional and respectful on a difficult case. I thought so highly of him that when I was retained on an extremely challenging case that required outside co-counsel Amir John was the first person I called. He was wonderful to work with as co-counsel and his expertise helped our client end with a favorable result. I have recently used Amir John as a family law mediator. He was extremely prepared which my client and I truly appreciated. When your client is paying for your time and the mediators time it is frustrating to have to spend an hour giving the back story. Amir John was focused and got right to the heart of the issues. He used the time effectively and was willing to be blunt with the client when the situation called for it. This is invaluable as an attorney in mediation. I highly recommend Amir John!
Patricia Baugher, Family Attorney on Mar 24, 2010
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I endorse this lawyer's work. Amir John is an excellent family law attorney (and given the quality of his work, I assume he is also stellar in the other areas in which he practices). If for some reason I am unable to help a potential client, I have no hesitation in directing them to Mr. Showrai, knowing that if he is available, they will be in very good hands.
