Imran Syed

I faced the DMV alone at a legal hearing - not understanding the legal process involved. Despite a clean and safe driving record of over 40 years, the DMV revoked my license to drive. "Driving is a privilege, not a right" is the DMV's unofficial motto. How was I to get to work? Shop for groceries? Vi...sit my doctors? Enter Mr. Syed - who came highly recommended by my lawyer in a related case. He put my case together, obtained a new hearing, and we sat before a new officer. Result? He got my license to drive reinstated the same day. Mr. Syed directed the entire process in a professional and humane manner. I am deeply grateful for Mr. Syed's service on my behalf. Mr. Syed saved my life.

I was charged with three misdemeanors for Harassing/Annoying phonecalls. As a lawyer myself I knew this wasn’t a big deal but I have an atrocious criminal record that I believed would end up with me doing least a few months in jail for these actions. Mr. Syed appeared without my having to go t...o court and worked out a deal with the prosecutor to drop all misdemeanors and I pled to one count of 415 Disturbing the Peace, an infraction. I paid about $3500 for his expertise and representation as well as his ability to appear in court without me and I don’t regret it at all- well worth the money.

No matter what you are charged with, a court case takes over your life. It's nice to find a lawyer who handles not just the legal aspects but can soothe your mind with some of the psychological aspects. He is friendly and professional and very thorough. Although I was expecting more of a TV-style ...performance, he explained that real court does not work that way and TV dramatics would just hurt us. In the end he got my case dismissed, and I am sure it was because of his persistence and attention to detail.

Imran Syed helped me fight a wrongful domestic violence arrest that resulted from my ex-partner stalking and harassing me while he had a current restraining order. Mr. Syed was quick, responsive, and sensitive to my situation and the fact that I was being only further traumatized by the court system ...after six years of abuse from my partner. Mr. Syed prepared a mitigation packet that put context into my situation and the District Attorney chose not to file charges against me. If you’ve been a victim of abuse and have found yourself in a situation where you have had to defend yourself and are now facing legal issues related to that, you can trust Mr. Syed to help you through the process with compassion.

I hired Imran to represented me on DUI and hit and run charges. He was able to communicate with the DA some rough circumstances I was facing in my life around the time of the incident and thanks to that the DA reduced the severity of my probation. Imran also took care of an error by the Clerk's Offic...e that could have caused me to fail to meet a deadline for my court check-in. In summary Imran went above and beyond to make a stupid mistake far less punishing than it could have been. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
