This is the best lawyer I have ever had...

Mr. Oshan handled my personal injury claim from start to finish. He made the process easy for me and always stayed on top of my case. He is a top notch attorney and from looking at all the comments other attorneys left for Mr. Oshan he is well known in the community. He is everything I looked for ...in an attorney: intelligent, honest, fair, easy going and knows how to handle adjusters and personal injury cases. He represented me and I also recommended him to 2 coworkers and they were happy with him too. I just wanted to say to whoever is looking to hire him, that he is a great lawyer. I hope this review is helpful.

This lawyer saved my life! Thank you Evan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot thank you enough for all your hard work. He took my calls even in the middle of the night when it was an emergency. He dealt with my criminal case as well as my immigration case and if I ever need him again, I would hire him and nobody else. He is our family lawyer for life. I would neve...r use any other lawyer again. He was reasonable in his fees and we paid payments that we can easily afford over time. He trusted us with pre dated checks and we developed such trust in each other. One time I couldn't make the payment in a certain month and I called him, he had no problems with it and was paid the following month, he was very patient with us, and dealt with all the headaches of the immigration officers and prosecutor. Since the criminal case was considered a deportable offense he had to defend us in immigration court as well, he was efficient and seems to know everybody in the immigration proceedings, he seems to have connections and he was successful in all aspects of my case. I would be forever grateful that I have a second chance in the United States because this is the only place I know and I grew up here. Evan represented me in the best way possible without over promising anything nevertheless, he got me the best results possible! If I had to be deported I would have had to leave my family, job and my whole life is here. Words cannot thank you enough and this is why I am writing to you today. Thank you and thank god that both my cases turned out the way they did, otherwise it would have been a disaster.

For personal injury, Mr. Oshan is the best there is!!

I wanted to send you a letter thanking you for all of your hard work on my case with the auto accident that occurred in February 2010. From start to finish the whole process was made so much easier for me and reduced my stress concerning the accident. When I first contacted you nearly 14 months ago, ...you told me that you were there to do the heavy lifting for me and that my job at this point was to focus on getting better. You took an enormous burden off of my shoulders, from arranging to get my vehicle repaired to taking care of the billing associated with getting my back fixed. And then when needed, got tough with Progressive Insurance as they played their usual games. I especially want to thank you for your hard work in the last 2 weeks with completing the settlement of my case and bringing this chapter of my life to a close. You exceeded my expectations in every way possible, including exceeding the settlement amount for my uses. I am truly grateful that when problems arose, you kept me in the loop in regards to what was happening, and when necessary you dropped what you were doing and helped me out. So once again, thank you. You have made a client for life, hopefully I will not require your services in the future, but if I do, you will be the first person I call. I am also passing your name along to all of my friends and co-workers to keep you in mind if they ever need an accident attorney.

Client Review

Evan Oshan was by far the best attorney I have ever worked with in the past. He was able to cut through the red-tape and deal with Homeland Security in a direct and efficient manner. He was aggressive, honest, and professional. He won my case where other attorneys had failed.
