“My case was a small claims case that made sense to handle myself. The only thing I really needed was some advice. I got that advice from Mr. Ben Smith, in terms I understood and what I needed to do to try and win this on my own, as I was going against a insurance attorney. I had spoken with quite a few attorneys, and if I ever were to need something in the future I would 100% go with this firm. If this message somehow gets back to Mr. Smith please let him know the girl with the 19 year old car won her case plus all my fees and the interest I asked for, and send him a huge thank you!!”

“We had a very complex civil case which was tied to a criminal case and we needed an attorney who could navigate both areas. Azadeh Malek was recommended to us by another attorney and we are so glad we decided to hire her. Azadeh effectively represented our interests and provided us with strategic options. She understood both criminal and civil law, was prepared, and worked well with all parties involved. This is what we were expecting when we initially hired her. What we didn’t expect was Azadeh’s dedication to our cases. She was amazing! She was honest with us and invested in the outcome. I have worked with many other attorneys, and Azadeh was their equal with regard to knowledge, legal theories, and court room eloquence, but she FAR exceeded the rest in terms of heart. Again, she was amazing!”
