A lot of thanks to Mr. Dorsey, we were able to get out our rental house lease contract with the landlord, and have our deposit/pre-paid rent back. We were happy with the rental house, until there was a slab leak back in June. I noticed that the engineered wood floor was popping up, and heard the watery sound when stepping on it. Told the landlord about the problem, and it took him 3 weeks to finally accept it's a slab leak and fix it. Therefore on July 4th afternoon, the landlord decided to shut off the main water, and asked us to stay in the house using water tank to temporarily hold water for use. We refused mainly for our 1.5 years old daughter, and moved into a nearby hotel room. We stayed there for a week until we determined that this was not going to work, and learned that the landlord was expecting our renter's insurance to pay for the hotel stay, not from his home insurance or his pocket. Given this financial constraint, as we as the fact that the repair work will take at least another 3 weeks, for which we will have to move our furnitures as well, we asked to terminate the lease contract. We told the landlord that in addition to the timing problem, we have serious health concerns to have our toddler live back to a dirty water soaked place, and my wife was going through a pre-scheduled medical procedure, making it even more difficult not to have a stable place to stay. The landlord had his brother (who happened to be his property manager and they both live in Austin) to tell us that we should keep our medical conditions only to ourselves, and it's irrelevant to the lease term. At this time I already pre-paid the July rent, so the landlord told us unless we agree to forfeit our deposit and July rent, he is not letting us to move out. After a lot of phone calls, we were out of options, and decided to request legal assistance. Fortunately for us, my wife enrolled legal assistance program through her employer, and was given a list of local lawyers who are in the legal network. I tried to make phone calls, which lead me to Mr. Dorsey, who not only spent his precious time listening to our situation, but also immediately started looking into the related law to help us. The same day he drafted a letter and sent it over to the landlord and his brother. Next day the landlord agreed to us moving out and returning the deposit/pre-paid rent, as long as I complete the move-out cleaning. After I provided the evidence that I cleaned everything as required the same weekend, the landlord returned our deposit and half of July rent, since we were only able to move our furnitures out by July 16th. It was very unfortunate situation that we had such unpleasant experience with this kind of landlord, but we were so fortunate to have Mr. Dorsey on our side helping us deal with such unfair and illegal activities. To me it was the fact that after being pushed around and tried to accommodate in every possible way, only Mr. Dorsey was willing to listen to us and be our voice to fight on our behalf, this truly matters and means so much to us. I never thought the landlord would be willing to compromise until Mr. Dorsey's letter did the magic. Our most sincere appreciation, Mr. Dorsey! Also lessons learned, always good to have a legal support when dealing with unfair and illegal activities.

If I could give him zero stars I would. I was referred to Mr. Dorsey through my job's legal plan and only had a very simple request: a document that I needed my partner to sign at the closing of our new house. I first contacted Mr. Dorsey 3 weeks before the closing and never heard back, called again 2 1/2 weeks before my closing and explained what I needed and specified the timeframe. He accepted payment and said he would have the requested document ready in time for the closing that was going to take place on Sept 29th, 2017 and here we are....still waiting on my document. Multiple calls and emails were made and got no response. Worst of all, my closing took place last week and I never heard from him or got my document. I called him again today (10-3-2017) and gave him another chance to provide the document and still nothing. Very incompetent and does not follow through. Would not recommend him to anyone if you expect to have something done in a professional and timely manner.

Mr Khavari, handled my auto accident case and I was very pleased. He will get you what you deserve and more. I would recommend anyone to use his services. He will keep you updated on whats going on with your case. I never had to call . I was always aware of what was going on. I was very pleased with my case results..

Mr.Khavari is a very good lawyer he made sure he keep in touch with me threw out the hold idea of what i was going threw i thank you so much.

This was my very first time hiring the attorney and i was thinking 'why didnt I hired an attorney before?' I hired Rod for my complicated car accident and while tried to solve the problem for the first car accident, I got in to other car accident. Rod helped me through both accidents really nicely. Rod is a great attorney, responding the email really quick and really work for you. I would highly recommend to my relatives. Thank you Rod!

We hired Mr. Khavari for our immigration case, he was very helpful and knowledgeable. Whenever we have any kind of issues he's always there to help out. We will come back if we need any kind of consultant in the future.

I hired Rod Khavari because I got injured in a car accident and needed medical attention but the opposing party's insurance company said I was liable for all medical costs.. It was my first car accident experience so I was very unfamiliar on what to do and what my rights were. Rod is very knowledgeable with his work so he clearly and patiently explained things I didn't understand. Like an ideal lawyer should do, especially to someone inexperienced, he was very helpful and made the whole situation comfortable and easy to understand. He is courteous, interacts with you on a personal yet professional level, and genuinely shows interest in your case. Most importantly, he is very easy to reach via phone and email. A very stressful situation was turned into a calm, pleasant, and stress free one thanks to Rod. When the time comes that I need to hire a lawyer again, I definitely want to work with him.

He is very supportive and cooperative. Whenever I needed any information I got his respond on time. He is very flexible and friendly to his clients.

Mr.Rod Khavari has good knowledge and back ground. He interest in each case, showing courtesy and help clients up to the maximum level. Our is second case that he successfully competed for green card, the case is in pipe line, hopefully will finalized soon. He should strengthen the staff, so that in his absence the client be updated well in time. I was very much happy with his attitude, behavior, and dealing with the clients. I recommend him to other friends to contact Mr.Rod Khavari as and when required. Prof. Inayat Ali Suhag

Rod is a very smart, professional, and knowledgeable lawyer, he was available to us and answered all the questions we had and calmed our nerves. He knows his trade and cares about his clients. His office staff was also very helpful and professional and they all got back to us in a timely manner. We didn't know of a good attorney so we came here on Avvo to see if we can find good recommendations and we relied on the positive reviews from his former clients. We decided to share our experience so that anyone looking for a professional attorney should feel at ease with Rod and his team taking up their case. We highly recommend him!

My experience with this lawyer, even though was short, was wonderful, he really calmed my nerves before my interview for my green card. He really knows his stuff! I expected it to take longer, but 10 weeks is all it took us. Thank you so much Rod
