Very knowledgable and social!

Imran is very knowledgable (which is important for criminal cases). He showcases his experience, knowledge and professionalism for a very complicated case that I personally had to deal with in Los Angeles County. I’d recommend Imran to anyone who is looking for an attorney that is knowledgable, an...d showcases his experience to you, the DA and judge. Thank You Imran for helping me, and my family in our hardest times.

My experience with Imran growhouse/weapons

Long story short I was arrested in a grow house with a stolen Glock in another room adjacent to where I was standing at the time of arrest. I was by myself. I gave the police limited information. With immigration on the line I had to take this pretty seriously. I researched and went to many offic...es trying to find the right fit. I was originally thinking about getting a marijuana attorney but decided the weapons charges would probably be the more serious offense so I decided i would not just hone in on mmj attorneys. I found him just like how I found the others through the internet. I called his office and spoke with a man and told him my issues and then I got a face to face. Once I got to the office the Manager and I made a virtual conference call to Imran to discuss the case. This was during the height of the pandemic so I understood why I could not see him in person. The owner or manager guy told me he choose imran to potentially represent me because he has a good history with marijuana and weapons charges and knows the riverside/san Bernardino system very well. I provided all the paperwork I had so far which was the warrant plus ticket with all the charges. They said until they go to court and get some documents they won’t know 100 percent what we were dealing with but from what I had they discussed potential advantage points I had and how they would be able to use that in a way to get a good outcome. I also felt like they worked more like a team since they had 2 guys in the room plus imran on the phone. So I asked Imran the basics like what his workload was like and how difficult it would be to reach him if I wanted to talk. After the meeting I decided I was going to go with them. After our first meeting with imran he gave me a list of things that I needed to do to make sure we had a good outcome. He also referred an immigration attorney that wrote me an impact letter for like 250 bucks. That ended up being very important. There were times he did not pick up the phone but he would always call me back on the same day. There was not one instance he didn’t call me back by 7pm if I had tried to call him that day. I was okay with that as long as I knew I would get a call that day at least. Also he would answer emails on the same day and answered his text messages. The entire process took about 11 months and took a deal for 415c non criminal infraction. This was way better result than I had even hoped for. I was really happy about the results. The costs are fair and cheaper than a mmj specific lawyer.

excellent service and expertise

I am grateful that Imran was my attorney after I got DUI, I have no idea what to do and what could happen to me, and with his expertise, he has guided me through the whole process. He is professional and delicate. He has successfully got me into the Diversion program with great effort, which has... set the present for others. Imran Syed is an excellent attorney who goes above and beyond for his client. I'd trust him with anything, do not hesitate to call him.

Excellent

Mr. Syed is an excellent lawyer, and I am grateful he was the one representing me in court because he was a powerful advocate for me throughout my difficult times. Mr. Syed completed brilliant work in which he ensured the best possible outcome for me. I was involved in a DUI crash in which I had a BA...C of .16. I am currently enrolled in the DACA program meaning that if I was found guilty to a DUI I would lose my work permit and would face deportation. I explained my situation to Mr. Syed and told him dropping my DUI charge to a wet reckless would allow me to keep my DACA. He was honest and explained to me that due to the severity of my case meaning that I had a high BAC and an accident it would be complicted to get my charge reduce to a wet reckless. But nevertheless he promised me he would do everything in his power to get me the best possible outcome. Mr. Syed not only promised but he took action; my DUI charge was reduced to a wet reckless. Thanks to Imran Syed I am able to put this worry behind me and focus on my future.

Grateful & Suprised

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.
