Highly recommend Mike Lawrence's practice–he is dedicated, patient, detailed, and transparent. He is also a true friend of the arts, which is rare and invaluable. Mike really gets it, five out of five stars.

Honestly the most attentive and compassionate lawyer anyone could hope to ever work with. Mike handles cases with a deep expertise and attention to detail, and I owe him a great deal of gratitude for how hard he worked on our case. If all lawyers were like this the legal system would be a much kinder and more just place.

Mike is an incredibly generous, patient, professional and resourceful lawyer whose experience and expertise extends beyond his legal practice. He is an essential advocate for any creative entrepreneur grappling with the legalities of establishing and growing a new business that may not fit a traditional mold or model. It has truly been a pleasure working with Mike and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Mike has been a guiding force and beam of light as we gain our footing in the process of transitioning from a small business to nonprofit. As a growing community and large-scale event, the legal landscape can be difficult to navigate, but Mike has gone above and beyond to ensure that every decision we make is carefully thought through and legally sound. We couldn't thank you enough, Mike!

Mr. Shahrestani provided representation on my Washington state divorce case which included domestic violence. What I particularly liked about his work was his integrity, knowledge and passion for the law. This is a deadly combination and takes away the stress when you know you are being represented by one of the finest lawyers in the country. Mr. Shahrestani diligently worked on my case with great tenacity and exceeded my expectations in regards to availability and responsiveness. I was pleasantly surprised on how quickly Mr. Shahrestani outputted high quality review and analysis. Additionally, he knew exactly how to interact with the opposing party. I truly appreciated how Mr. Shahrestani shared information about the law throughout the representation until the very end which empowered me to make informed decisions based on my preferences. I am very grateful that I crossed paths with Mr. Shahrestani and made the decision to have him represent me.

Ali was not only extremely responsive/passionate about my case, but represented me in a manner that put things into perspective. Ali was able to not only keep me informed about all of the options that were available to me, but also made sure that I was fully aware of how they may help/hurt my case. What I was most appreciative of what the amount of passion/intensity Ali showed in representing me; despite having only known for me a few days, Ali made me feel as though I was his only client and that my case was extremely important to him. Ali certainly exceeded my expectation in always being available and working through the weekend to make sure that we came to the most fair and reasonable conclusion in an expeditious manner. Thank you for all of your hard work, Ali.

Honestly, I have tears in my eyes as I am writing this. I feel so blessed and lucky to have found you online. This case was very, very important to me since it was about my child and I could not have asked for a better person to represent us. I felt like you cared about my son as much as I do. You really understood the urgency of this matter and I still can't believe in less than 48 hrs you resolved the issue with the outcomes that I was wishing for. Your knowledge, expertise, communication skills is admirable. Neekon felt really comfortable talking to you and I really appreciate all the advice you gave him. Your advice means a lot to him coming from a professional, father who cares for him so thank you from the bottom of my heart. As I have mentioned, I feel really lucky to have found you and will only use your services for any further matter despite the fact that most of my friends are attorneys and I have professionally worked with many I have never met someone who is as good as you in what they do. Thank you so much, Neda Mehrabani

From the first day I spoke to Paul I knew I could trust him, and he did not disappoint me, His staff who were always kind and professional kept me inform with my case or Paul would call me himself to update me. I didn't think I would win,but Paul assured we could and he kept his promise I am proud that I chose his firm. I will recommend his firm to all my friends and family. wonderful human being to work with.

No one believed in my case, he took it and gave me faith that I was going to be compensated. It was a difficult transition and exhausting, throughout this journey. Now, I finally received news that we Settled!!! I am extremely grateful and excited. I highly recommend him and I hope I am never on his wrong side. Thank you so much.

In California, anyone can sue anyone for any reason. I was a defendant in a million dollar civil suit and attacked for four years before the trial was actually scheduled to begin in earnest. I only had a few months to prepare a defense and was absolutely blessed to find Ali Shahrestani in my “eleventh hour.” I suppose there are two critical points in our lives when we need a lawyer – the first of these is any time we find ourselves in trouble already, and the second is when we have the smarts to prepare in advance for things that can cause us trouble down the road. I had the opportunity to work with Ali in both arenas and I highly recommend him, without reservation, to you. Ali has all the characteristics that one needs in an attorney – but rarely finds as one package. Ali is highly intelligent and has a remarkable ability to absorb volumes of information in a very short period of time. Beyond the benefits of being able to keep costs to a minimum for this kind of review, he comes out the other side having not missed a single important point. He is immediately on target about what the information is – and more importantly what it means to you. In my case I had 26 lbs of pleadings – a totally overwhelming volume for anyone – but not for Ali. Ali has a superior absorption and recall ability that regularly left me speechless. The comfort I found in trusting my trial outcome to Ali was reinforced with every interaction. He was brilliant in the courtroom, assuming control and extracting the real truth from those who absolutely did not want to give it. He is alive and passionate and at all times I felt that the case was every bit as important to him as it was to me. With Ali, I won my case on every single issue and every single point … Ali Shahrestani … certainly possesses the wily intelligence but instead finds real hope and gives it to those who need it. He is my lawyer for life! Do yourself the favor of getting to know him.

Mr Shahrestani’s logical and precise presentation of the facts of my case was outstanding specially in relation to HOA issues. The quality of the response to the claims of the opposing party exceeded my expectation. That is why I recommend his services to my friends who are in need for legal presentation. Tarek Kazamel, MBA
