It took almost no time at all to win my case. A few meetings, a couple phone calls, one court date, and charges dismissed. Incredible. Hire this man,

Earlier this year, I made the worst mistake I've ever made in my life. I'll spare you the details of the night leading into it - just know that before the night was through, I was sleeping on a concrete bed in a holding cell, having been booked for a DUI. These were the worst circumstances I've ever faced - I'm not usually prone to mistakes this drastic. But everybody slips up here and there, and that's one thing Elliot helped me realized. It's not the end, rather just a very enduring challenge to take head on. I'm very grateful to have found Elliot as quickly as I did. After being released the next day, I immediately sought help from people close to me who I know could get me through the ugliest of situations. One of my best friends recommended that I use AVVO to shop around for a good, reputable lawyer in my area. This friend highly insisted that I call as many as possible to get a better picture of what kind of legal counsel I could afford, and who would be there to really work hard on my case. It didn't take too long for me to come across Elliot's page on this site. I immediately recognized from his profile picture that he was a bruin - the thumbnail photo is an iconic hallway in front of Royce Hall where all the soon to be grads are still out there taking pictures today. The day after I was released from jail, I was in shock. I couldn't believe something like this could happen to me, especially given my history of working closely alongside law enforcement officials. It took me a while to muster up the courage and start doing as my friend had suggested - step one: find yourself a good lawyer. I must've called about a dozen or so different law offices before I got in touch with Elliot. It was about 9PM on a weekday, and I really didn't expect anyone to answer when I called his office. Yet soon as I called, he was the one to answer my phone. I gave him some basic info on what had happened, and in less than a minute he already had all the pertaining information concerning my arrest and case. I immediately knew at this point Elliot was the attorney to go with, especially given his reasonable rate. Elliot took all the headaches away from this entire ordeal. I didn't even have to show up to court, make annoying phone calls to the DMV, or deal with the hoards of paperwork and insurance issues after the fact. Elliot took care of everything, and made constantly checked up on me to make sure I was taken care of every step of the way. After all the discovery and cross examinations came to a close, I was still facing the DUI charge due to some unfortunate witness statements working against my favor. I was in shock, and couldn't believe what I was still facing. When I met with Elliot to discuss this matter, he even told me I looked like I'd been run over by a bus. But he said to not even worry about anything, to take the whole month off and get myself in a good place and told me that we'd meet back again in a month. A month goes by, I come back from a relaxing vacation and go take care of matters with Elliot. He came back to me with some good news, news that meant there was a chance the DUI charges could be reduced to a wet reckless. We go to court together the next day, and he maintains his professional demeanor. Before going up to the judge, he pulls me outside and tells me we did it. Elliot worked miracles that day, because due to the circumstances I was facing, it was next to impossible to get the DUI charges dropped. Yet he pulled it off, and now here I am sitting comfortably at work, enjoying life as usual (albeit with some added court duties to take care of). The whole process was effortless and worry free, all thanks to the excellent services Elliot was able to provide. I'm glad I went with a UCLA grad to get me through the worst of times, Elliot had my back since the first time I gave his office a ring. Can't go wrong hiring Elliot for any representation you need, he'll get you through all of it. Thank you, Elliot.

Why exactly did I pick Elliot? After getting arrested and released for a FELONY DUI I thought my life was ruined! The idea of getting a felony was just too overbearing for me to handle. What's worse is that it was right around Christmas time! I was getting so much anxiety that it just ruined the holiday spirit for me. However, after speaking to Elliot, not only was he sincere and honest, but he was very straight forward and compassionate about my situation. He was the only attorney that I felt most comfortable with. Thankfully, I made the right choice of hiring him. Elliot goes above and beyond to ensure that I received the best possible outcome. I received a VERY generous sentence even though I had gotten myself into an accident during my DUI. If you're still not sure who to hire, look no further!

Elliot Zarabi is a great lawyer! He is always available to talk to, and he is efficient. He got my misdemeanor expunge in exchange for minimal community service. Best lawyer in the LA area!

Elliot is an incredible professional. I was pulled over for a DUI and was at a loss of what to do. Calling Elliot Zarabi was the best decision I made! He took my out-of-control situation and handled everything while taking the time to always make sure I understood everything that was happening. I highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks for all our your help Elliot, you were there when I needed you the most.

Elliot has literally SAVED MY LIFE! As good as it gets is strictly an understatement... Elliot deserves the Noble Peace Prize and the Pulitzer for his good and noble deeds through a heavy social system. Sometimes things can be alleged where either party has committed a wrongdoing, but our justice system can sometimes be so... fickle at best. During the hard and miserable times I had to endure Elliot has been there to cheer me up, cheer me on, and guide me through it all. Ultimately, Elliot has made the entire process smooth, reassuring, and quick to resolve even though I should have been drowning in stress and spiritual disaster-he was there every step of the way... EXCELLENT professional, SUPERB Lawyer, and a truly CARING individual. AAA+

This was my second time offense and I was very worried about how this would impact my work, family, and everyday life. I got in touch with Elliot and was immediately put at ease with his demeanor, professionalism, and upfront approach to my case. He was on top of all appearances, communications, and was sure to follow up with me regarding next steps. While I do have to pay the consequences for my actions, Eliott was there every step of the way to ensure I was well represented and overall had my back. I definitely recommend his services!

I was charged for several counts for driving & alcohol related offenses. That one night's mistake was going to ruin my entire life! :( I would like to call elliot, the magician ! :) Elliot really saved my case and his "magic" really worked to get a lower count and get out of probation. I really didn't want to get stuck in years and years of paranoia locked in probation. It seems many people do not like to do their own part by researching and discussing your case with attorneys and expect attorneys to be "messiah" all of a sudden in the court. It doesn't work like that, if you want your case to win, you have to help your attorney with research, new ideas and your story ! Attorneys are not "gods", neither prosecutors/judges... They don't know your life and your story... They are also human, so make sure you do your part to work with your attorney & give him/her enough ammunition to help make the best case possibly can! That's the strength of Elliot... He really took time to listened to me and gave me many appointment to meet with him... And he met with prosecutor (one-on-one meeting) to explain my situation and to pretty much plead for mercy & Grace to be flexible. Upto this day Eliot's still helping me... a week ago he came with me to court to help me sort out an issue with clerk office. And not a single penny charged ! His personal hands-on service is what I value the most. Even late nights, he never hesitated to respond to my texts. I was fretting and very anxious of my case and its ramifications, therefore I really needed someone just more than a legal assist... He was personable and took my case personal & serious. Which is how it should be even though I know for many lawyers you just become another file in his/her pile. In a culture that actively promotes alcoholism & its billion dollar industry, Alcohol related offenses have become so common, it has become a automated factory business to pump money for lawyers & cities. Cops have become like robots, issuing tickets ! As a result, Sadly, Good people gets thrown in & get stuck in the nasty court systems and officially get treated like criminals. :( When I go to my classes, I meet many others who just simply let the court throw the book at them and take whatever is given and one leads to another, their entire life is labeled a "criminal" ! I could only wish if they would took their incidents seriously and seek proper legal counsel to achieve the best outcomes so this ugly disorganized court system Won't control their life. Some don't even try ... Truly Sad ! As a result, They endup hating the police, the courts, the law, etc entire Legal system, even become real criminals down the line because they allow small life events converts into huge obstacles that affects their life, careers, family & future. After speaking with many lawyers, I realized elliot Zarabi is the man to help in my case. If you want personable service and friendly care, he's the right guy. Because almost every single bad event happens in our lives (which legal consequences), shouldn't be the end... They all have a way out! Patience with time, and doing your diligence, TRUST ME, Theres a way out ! It all depends on each step you take from there on... That includes getting the right legal counsel. Reach out to many like I did, and settle with the one that suits you & your case the best. Don't let the complications of the law & legal system complicates your life ! Im thankful to Elliot for being there for me... Pretty much day and nights (I used all methods, calls, emails & texts). In life When we feel like we have hit rock bottom, what we really need is not just a lawyer, also a personal friend to comfort us through the hurdles to reach peace of mind. Which is what help us undo the load we have to carry and keeps us sane to face trials in life. The Law is a book, with no feelings, we need the right mediator with feelings to interpret that to us. Again, I'm Thankful to Elliot for outstanding service & care !
