Same Sex Domestic Violence Case 2012/13

Steve is a competent and compassionate attorney. He had never represented someone in a same-sex domestic violence charge and he stepped up to the challenge without hesitation. Steve championed my plight and was successful in winning the case for me where I had been falsely accused of domestic viole...nce. It was a very long process between the State and myself. Steve was able to research and skillfully apply the correct action needed to obtain a victory and clear my name. Additionally, through Steve's good work, the restraining order against me was dismissed and Steve was able to show the court who the real victim was--me. Not only was the order dismissed, but Steve was able to convince the court that I was the wronged party who needed protection. A restraining order was granted on my behalf against my accuser. During the case Steve was able to weed through all the complex documents and other evidence in order to correctly present and win my case. Without his expertise I'm sure it would have been a completely different outcome. He even was able to help me with direction on how to be an effective witness on the stand for my defense. He broke it all down for me--someone who has never been involved with the law before. I am and will forever be thankful for his hard work in my case. You cant make a better choice for your legal counsel.

Steve Karimi made my first experience with a Lawyer a positive one.

Recently, a friend and I had marijuana possession charge on a camping camping trip. I rarely touch the stuff and thought a remote, empty campground would be a reasonable place to take the risk, but was wrong. Because of my job, I was terrified of what might happen (I really don't know much about th...ese things.) My friend contacted several Lawyers and settled on Steve Karimi, because he had experience with the prosecutor and was willing to charge a very reasonable fee. When I first talked with Steve, I felt much better about my situation. He told me that I had a good chance of d a deferral or even dismissal based on my spotless record. He also told me that I probably wouldn't even need to appear in court, which was a relief as I live across the state from where I got in trouble. Mostly I just felt a huge sense of relief simply knowing that it was now out of my hands and a professional was handling it. Over the next couple months, Steve pushed my court date back a couple times and contacted me periodically to let me know what was going on. Eventually, after the Marijuana initiative passed, the prosecutor dropped my case. Even after my case had been dismissed, Steve was very helpful in answering some more of my questions about what, exactly, would show up on my record or be available to the public. Although it didn't end up being a very difficult case, I likely wouldn't have had the same results without Steve pushing our court dates back. I also feel confident that we would have at least gotten a deferral had the initiative not passed because that offer was already on the table from the prosecutor.

The BEST

Please be relax if you are in any kind of trouble. Steve is a very trustworthy, responsible and knowledgeable lawyer. Before meeting Steve, I talked four different attorney for my case. But when I met with Steve, I forgot the other lawyers. Why? Because, When I was starting to talk Steve, I w...as very relax and I said, this is my lawyer. Steve is very spectecular lawyer. In the first meeting, he took a paper and drew a plan for my case efficiently. And In a short time, my case was dismissed. Steve is really very impressive lawyer and very friendly. I want to say again: Please be relax, Steve solves all problems whatever you have. Thanks Steve for your help. Thanks so much

Knowledgeable, Compassionate, and Kind, What a Great Attorney!

I retained attorney Steve Karimi to represent my DUI case in May, 2011. Because of prior DUI charges, I felt helpless and was overwhelmed with depression. Mr. Karimi scheduled a meeting for us to meet and review materials relevant to my case. When first encountering Steve, I was immediately put t...o ease by his calm and sensitive manner. It was during this meeting that he provided the names of treatment facilities. He is a great listener, and was able to determine that I had been suffering from an emotional condition, which when combined with my tendency to binge drink, past treatment programs fell short of providinig the type of service that could really assist me. What a major difference this has made in my life! NO ONE, not even mental health counselors, have been able to discern what attorney Karimi did, in a 45 minute span of time. This is simply amazing. Steve brings to the table not only his extensive legal training and experience, but a rare quality of being able to really connect with his clients needs on an intuitive level. He was able to create a very effective strategy for my situation and provided guidance for me, every step of the way. He posses a portfolio of resources for his clients to keep their lives in chek, while undergoing the court process. This was extremely valuable to myself, a professional person who wished to continue to work - and stay mobile. Attorney Steve Karimi is simply a profoundedly gifted and talented individual, unlike ANY other attorney I have ever experienced. I received a fair otucome from the courts, it was a very difficult case. His background, and committemnt to REALLY helping his clients is remarkable. With his assistance, he has changed my life by puttting me in contact with those that could really help my life get on track. You would be well served to retain him; he has my highest recommendation.
