Steve Karimi is Number One

Mr. Karimi has saved my life--on paper-- twice. Most recently he was able to get my DUI charge dismissed in return for a guilty plea on hit and run unattended. This was an amazing deal. A DUI is inexcusable and hard to explain to an employer, a hit-and-run unattended is a softer charge with far less... extreme consequences. Not to mention, I could have the charge expunged from my record in a couple of years-- the same isn't true for a DUI charge (I'll hire Mr. Karimi when the time comes to clear my record). Steve was kind but remained stoic throughout the court procedures, which didn't give me a false sense of hope but did impart a sense of understanding and security. Mr. Karimi was diligent about my charges, and I can't tell you how relived I was to hear that my DUI case would be dismissed. He helped me with a marijuana possession case when I was 18 and he prevented that charge from ruining my record. I would absolutely refer anyone to Steve Karimi for legal protection as he is well-known in the community and has a track record for success. Steve is my go-to guy. Hopefully I never need to hire a lawyer to defend me again, but if I do, Mr. Karimi is my first choice. His prices are reasonable, and I have no doubt he caters to all of his clients well. if you have the means, skip a public defender and hire Steve Karimi--he's reliable, careful and downright awesome.

Steve treated us like people, not clients !

We had no clue which attorney to choose, but retained Steve Karimi and he handled our case very effeciently and even when more was required than we knew about ahead of time, there was no "add on charges". He was fair, kept us informed and did what he said he would do in a speedy manner. I would cer...tainly recommend Steve for any legal problems and would not hesitate to use him in the future if ever needed. He even sent us an email "thank you".!!!!

Honest and personable

After viewing his website I contacted Steve Karimi to help my boyfriend. When he arrived at our first meeting I was impressed with his professional but soft demeanor. My boyfriend's English isn't perfect, but Steve took the time to listen patiently. He never talked down to us and it felt like a conve...rsation with a friend. He is not at all like some of the lawyers I have encountered in my past. He answered our questions, addressed our fears and we hired him right then. He researched the best defense, wrote a great letter to the district attorney, and was able to get the case completely dismissed. I can't tell you how relieved we were. His fee was reasonable and I feel that he truly cared about our situation. Should the need arise in the future I would definitely hire him again.

Exceptional results and great style

Steve was terrific. I did a lot of research before picking an attorney and met with several different firms. Many of them tried to scare me into thinking they were my only hope. Steve was honest and straight forward. He gave me hope, but at the same explained the potential risks and his plan to mitig...ate them. I said way too much to the officer and made my case much more difficult than it needed to be. Steve was able to over came all of that and got my case dismissed. If you need professional representation at a fair price, Steve Karimi is definitely someone you should meet.
