Posted by Matthew | February 16, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Brilliant! شگفت انگیز

I had never been in trouble with the law in my life and a domestic dispute with my wife ended with me in jail, a Washington State imposed no contact order, me looking at a year in jail and my record forever labeling me with a Domestic Violence 4 conviction. My rock bottom was in sight but I refu...sed to let it turn out that way. Having been out of work for a year and concerned with the last of my financials needing to going to keep my household running and not spent on a lawyer, I chose to use a Public Defender. After being out of jail for a week I realized that using a Public Defender was not an option. The system was/is not made to protect people in my situation. I made one random phone call to a lawyer and left a message on his office voice mail. Feeling instantly alone and ill as I was hanging up I was prompted by the call waiting on my phone to answer an incoming call. It was Soroosh returning my call in less than five seconds from me leaving my contact information on his voicemail. I told Soroosh of my entire situation. No job, out of money, why I fought with my wife, charged with DV4, no help from the PD, guns and CWP taken from me, no contact order, kids, house, bills, fear, not understanding how this could happen to me and what seemed to be about five minutes of me pouring out the scrambled details of my life, it had actually been an hour. An hour that Soroosh had given me of not only his time but his complete attention. He had every detail correct and in the right order when he repeated back to me a summary of everything I had just said. He agreed to help me for a small fraction of the normal cost because of my situation and within an hour of speaking to me, he had started working on my case. Two hours and my life was again changing only this time for the good. There is not enough room on this review to list all of the amazing things Soroosh has done for me and my family and I want to make sure you get the major reasons why Soroosh is the guy you need to call if you are also refusing to hit your rock bottom or if you are just needing help to soften the impact and bounce off of it much quicker. Soroosh: -Will always answer his phone or return your call promptly. Even if it is Ten O'clock at night on a Saturday. Sounds crazy but it is a fact. -Knows the Law better than the Prosecutor. Again, it sounds crazy but it is true. He was nice enough to give the District Court lessons on multiple occasions. -Does only what you want him to do. I could have went to trial and fought everything and won but my family had been through enough. He made sure that my wishes were met and also made sure that I got the best deal possible. The State wanted 5 years no contact with my wife, 364 days in jail, no rights to bare arms, DV classes for 12 months at my expense and fines! I ended up getting 2yrs. SOC, an 8hr anger management class, return of my rights, return home to my family and no more negative impacts to my family by going to trial and no jail. -Is a man of his word. He quoted me one flat fee and stuck to it. He fought for my case, traveled to me and worked way more hours than thought necessary, due to the lessons he had to give in law and the direction I wanted to take my case. Never a mention of more cost to me. - Is professional and also heartfelt. He cares about his clients and he is in this line of work to help people, not himself. If you decide to call Soroosh, you will hear for yourself what I am saying is true. If you hire Soroosh, you will see for yourself what I am saying is true. If you are opposing Soroosh in the courtroom, I almost feel bad for you.

Very Skilled !

I was out with my friend late at night parked in a park after hours and under the influence of Marijuana. I had been charged with a DUI ( although I was not driving I was in physical control of my vehicle). On top of that, I had been charged for being in Park after hours, drug paraphernalia ( the pol...ice had confiscated a couple smoking instruments from my car ) and possession of Marijuana under the age of 21. A friend of mine had recommended Soroosh to me which I am very grateful for. Soroosh did a wonderful job representing me and he definitely knows what he is doing. He helped me understand every step of the process and was attentive to get the best results for me. Not only did Soroosh help me stay positive and motivated, he guided me along the way through every step clearly and I never felt lost or confused. I felt super confident and prepared with Soroosh and would 100% recommend him first to anyone in need of a lawyer. He is a great lawyer and is very skilled at what he does ! Thanks to Soroosh, I dodged a huge penalty !!

Excellent Lawyer

I hired Soroosh for legal advice on a business issue I was dealing with. From the onset, Soroosh gave me an excellent consultation and showed he was competent to assist me with my issue. He even reviewed my form contracts and provided a few revisions to prevent future risks like this from occurring a...gain.

OKANOGAN LEGAL REPRESENTATION

I was traveling through the Okanogan near Omak WA, when I was pulled over early Saturday morning. Having had drinks the night before I let the officer's know and that was all they needed to arrest and jail me for a DUI. It was my first arrest and having blown .065 I believed that I was well under t...he legal limit. It amazed me to find out they were going to pursue a dui conviction. I hired Soroosh because he not only understood what I was facing, (a criminal conviction and loss of liberties), but was able to convey the facts and truths of my arrest to a jury. Although I was out of my element, out of my area, I felt confident with Soroosh, and he was able to get a not guilty verdict. I thought with the facts that it would be easy, but little did I know or understand just how corrupt and simply underhanded to the point of lying that the prosecutor would be in trying to obtain a conviction. They used Ten's of thousands of dollars of the tax payers money to try and convict, stretched the truth, leaving out evidence, telling the arresting officer that he didn't need to speak with our side, hiring a handful of experts. I was so very lucky to have Soroosh in my corner. It really made all the difference that he understood what the prosecutor was going to do, and how to show our side of the story to the jury with our own experts as well as facts in the case that the prosecution was trying to deny us, to get a not guilty verdict. They say you are innocent until proven guilty, but going through this process I now know that the truth is, you really have to have a good attorney in your corner to prove your innocent because once you are arrested everyone assumes you are guilty. Thanks again Soroosh!
