Hire Attorney Soroosh Abdi

He really cares about his clients and will go the extra mile. I was fearful when my ex roommates put a protection order on me. I hired Mr. Abdi and he was with me every step of the way. He agreed the protection orders were bogus and helped me get them denied. He was great at defending me in court and... I wouldn't choose anyone else ever now.

Excellent Ethical Representation

I was asleep in my car with the keys out of the ignition. When the police came to my window I was uncooperative-the situation escalated to an arrest. I was charged with D.U.I and obstruction. I had 2 previous alcohol related traffic incidents over an 18 year period .The prosecutor was quite unyieldi...ng in asking for a mandatory maximum sentence. There were many extenuating circumstances contributing to my case which the courts ignored and seemed impervious to. It was painfully obvious that I was viewed as mere paper work by them. I felt my case was filtered through an arbitrary formula. I was not being viewed as a person. This case went on for a full year. I was extremely well represented by Soroosh Abdi and fully appreciated the ethical and understanding treatment of this firm and its team. Mr Abdi is a tenacious attorney who truly fought for me and had my back throughout this very arduous processs. He got the D.U.I reduced to reckless driving even though he came up against a very unreasonable and abusive judge. I am grateful to this firm and glad I chose them to represent me. If you want excellent tenacious representation I highly suggest you contact Abdi and Sheed.

Violation of RO

My very hostile and vengeful wife attempted to nail me on violating the restraining order, that she lied to get in the first place. Soroosh was one of 7 attorneys I interviewed. He was hands-down the most intellectual, confident, and empathetic lawyer I spoke with. All the others stated that it was c...ut and dry and that I violated the restraining order and I would have to face the consequences, which would likely be parole for X amount of time and a DV Rehab program. Soroosh listened to my side of the story and stated my wife is using the system as a sword, not a shield and that is not okay. He stated that he approaches each case as if it is going to trial where he will thoroughly interview all parties involved, will review the law(s) surrounding the situations, and will be able to convey to the jury that there are holes in the law... The end result was an SOC with ZERO contingencies! I could not be happier with the result. If, God forbid, another criminal charge comes my way, Soroosh will be my first call. I 100% recommend Soroosh. He is a true, results oriented professional!

Best attorney

I was sleeping in my car and cop came and charged me with DUI. I blew a BAC of .124 and went to jail. I was facing 30 days in jail, 60 days house arrest, IID in my car for 5 years and lots of alcohol classes. It was because this was my second DUI. I went to a trial that lasted 4 days and Abdi Saroosh... and Danny Sheed got me a not guilty. I believe no other attorney could do what they did. They are the best lawyers to have to defend you through rough times.

NOT GUILTY

I was pulled over and charged with DUI. As soon as I posted bail, I reached out to Sorrosh Abdi. He was very responsive and very helpful as I explained what happened that night. He was very thoughtful and thorough as he discussed my options and what was to come with my case. During our initial conve...rsation he made me feel comfortable in hiring him to represent me. (One of the best decisions I've ever made) He and his team were fearless as they represented me. During this long process, they were able to negotiate multiple plea offers that they throughly explained pros and cons of. In the end, I decided to take the case to trial. The trial preparation was well coordinated and rehearsed. On the day of the trial, they came court overly prepared and made me feel at ease. During the trial, as the State brought their case against me, Soroosh and his Team defended every move. After the two day trial, the jury came back with a NOT GUILTY verdict!! Thank you Soroosh!
