I hired Elliot Zarabi and his team to help with my DUI case. He could succeed to change my DUI case to Wet Reckless and magically, reduce my probation from 3 years to 4 month!.
Elliot is a first-rate attorney who demonstrated courage and tenacity in representing us. He listened carefully, he skillfully designed an effective defense for our issue, he presented it to the judge and brought immediate closure to the situation we were facing. Eliot is experienced and practical – he will not waste your time. He has a superior comprehension of the nuances of the law and in-depth understanding of the court system. He is the top-notch captain that every team needs. Thank you for bringing peace back into my life.

I came to Elliot for a consultation to handle my 10 year old felony case. I hadn't completed the terms of my probation, none of it, and I was ready to turn myself in. As it turned out not only was my felony probation violation open, but also a slew of smaller warrants for traffic violations.
I consulted with a few different attorneys who were all really great but I decided to go with Elliot and I am very glad that I did.
First he met me on a Saturday which was very convenient. He genuinely seemed to care about helping me. He was honest and upfront, didn't make any promises to give me false hope. Which I appreciated as I knew how serious the consequences were going to be.
Leading up to court there were many times that I had questions about our strategy and Elliot was always available to reply via email, and take my calls. It felt like I was his only client.
In front of the judge where it matter the most, Elliot really came through. When my character came into question, he argued fiercely on my behalf. That's when I was 100% sure that I had made the right choice.
In the end I received my best possible outcome, and I have Elliot to thank for that. Out of 4 cases (1 Felony and 3 Misdemeanors) that he handled for me I received positive outcomes in each. I'm extremely fortunate. Every scenario is obviously different and I can't guarantee your outcome. I can however tell you that you can have a little more confidence with Elliot behind you.

My husband received a DUI and we were so scared because he drives for a living. I was referred to him by a coworker who spoke highly of him . From the beginning he was awesome!!! You can reach him anytime and any day of the week. He is a very honest person and he makes a stressful situation easy to handle. I highly highly highly recommend him for any DUI case.

A few years back my mom was arrested and hired Elliot to handled her case and got the case dismissed. A few years later, my dad was arrested for DUI and Elliot kept the case from being filed. Spoke with the CHP investigator and it was handled. Then, I had 4 run-ins with the law. Elliot handles them all. Keeping me out of custody, which I thought was impossible to do, with my rap sheet. Thank you Elliot, I love you Hermano!

As someone who resides on the East Coast, I was extremely concerned about my ability to find a reliable, thorough and professional lawyer to defend me when I was not there. The MOMENT I got on the phone with Elliot he told me exactly what he could do, what he couldn't and set very realistic expectations being that this was the first time I had ever been in such a predicament. He educated me on the process and was extraordinarily empathetic to my particular case.
What i will tell you all is this, if you want someone to use their incredible knowledge and experience to fight for you in court the same way you would fight for yourself, you need not call anyone else but Elliot Zarabi. I honestly cannot speak more highly of this man and his firm! You are a legend Elliot!

I'm glad i chose Elliot to represent me in my DUI case. I got pulled over by a CHP officer for speeding and wound up blowing a .09. The cop laid things on thick in the police report and, after having read it, I thought that there was likely little that Elliot could do to mitigate the fallout.
I'm happy to say that he wound up being able to get the DUI charge thrown out on the condition that i plead no contest to wet reckless. This was likely the best case scenario for me. Thanks, Elliot.

A few months back I came from China to visit my boyfriend who had moved from China to the US. While visiting Universal Studios, I had found out that he was cheating on me. I was very upset and slapped him. I hired Mr. Zarabi to handle the matter for me. Mr. Zarabi went to court for my initially, but the DA and Judge stated I had to be in court. Mr. Zarabi, was able to keep the case open without a warrant for my arrival. When we went to court together on the second court date, I was very impressed with Mr. Zarabi's command in court. He was NOT happy with the way I was being treated. He had a not so pleasant conversation with the DA, who after reviewing, went to her boss and got approval to dismiss the case. I was so happy. The DA even (indirectly) apologized to me. Thank you Mr. Zarabi for all your help, I could not have done this without you!

A friend referred us to Elliot for my brother's case and needless to say, we were VERY HAPPY with the outcome. Elliot is an amazing negotiator - he was able to get the charge dropped to a misdemeanor with no jail time! We also very much appreciated Elliot's professionalism and kindness. This was a very stressful and scary situation, but Elliot made sure to explain the entire process to us and was always willing to answer our questions. We highly recommend him. Thanks Elliot!

After running into several unreliable lawyers, I am so thankful that I was referred to Elliot. He was GREAT and took all the important steps to dismiss my case in no time, but most importantly he made me feel that I was being heard and taken care of. He always answered the phone and replied to my messages answering all the questions and crazy doubts I had.
I would definitely recommend him to take care of any of your legal problems

After being charged with felony battery (first offence), I was scared. I don't know how I found Elliot online, but I am so glad I did. He had nothing but positve reviews and now I know why.
We started with a phone consultation, then an in-person consultation, both free and low pressure. He said that while he specializes in DUI cases, once he heard my story, he was confident he could help.
Once I met him in person, I was struck by his confidence and honesty. He was able to help me find financing to afford the bill, and he was able to advise me with the personal complications in my case.
Hiring him was worth every penny. I had complete confidence in him, which was not misplaced. All my worries disappeared. He and his employees handled all the paperwork and filing for my court date, he was available by phone at all times, and his assistant was there with me in court. I ended up not having to stay in court, was dismissed once the room opened, and my case was dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor. The assistant handled all the paperwork and filing, while I waited.
When I had to make an appearance with the District Attorney, Elliot was there to smooth the process, advice me before on what to say/not say, etc. The meeting went perfectly.
Everything, start-to-finish took less than two months. I went from being charged with a felony to having the charges dropped, no fines, no punishment, just a mark on my record. He even offered to send paperwork or a note if I needed an explanation for upcoming job interviews.
You will not be wasting your time if you hire Elliot.

Mr. Zarabi cares about his clients both in the interim and in the future. Gives stellar advice, and ensures that he has his clients best interest at heart. I am extremely satisfied and would recommend his services to anyone in need of a Lawyer.

I called Elliot after I went to court a few times. The public defender did not seem to care very much about me or my case. Just told me the offer of 180 days of C.J or try and fight it and risk prison. I felt helpless, then I reached out to Elliot. After my first meeting with him, I felt comfortable. He never made a promise but did guarantee he would work very hard to keep me out of jail. After a few appearances and some investigation, he kept me out of jail. I cannot thank him enough for doing what he did for me. Elliot, you are the man.
