One year ago today, on August 31st, 2018 - Attorney Shahin Zamir gave me hope and got me out of a mess I should have never been involved in to begin with. I was arrested for the possession of a controlled substance (a state jail felony) in northern Harris County, Texas. I had never been charged with a felony before, never even had a single conviction on my record, and now this case was about to change my life & turn me into a second-class citizen as well as destroy my chances of getting financial aid for college, of ever getting a home in a nice area, and most importantly, of ever getting a good job in my life. After my arrest and posting $100 bond in the county jail, I could never fall asleep for days on end, I had to go for a walk every 20 minutes to avoid going insane, and I felt my life was in jeopardy - all over getting arrested by racist cops who didn't care to let me explain my innocence and just wanted to throw in another person of color in a government cage and enforce the failed "war on drugs". It would have been one thing if the substance was mine, but it wasn't - which made the injustice of my arrest even more awful. The police essentially conducted an investigation in a shady manner, and acted like their wrongful ways were just a typical night of police work for them. It was absolutely disgusting, I was just another innocent man to haul off to jail before their lunch break in the country that incarcerates a quarter of the world's prison population in an extremely punitive system compared to all other industrialized nations - a racist and atrocious system that has its origins through slave patrols and extremely hierarchical structures. I looked on avvo.com for lawyers in Houston - and I had a bad experience with my first lawyer back when I was arrested last time (also my first time/another drug arrest that occurred back in 2013 when I was 18 in high school) who never showed up in court, always had paralegals show up for him, never answered the phone, and ended up getting me deferred adjudication for my misdemeanor drug charge even though it was my first arrest ever. However, Shahin Zamir was different. When I called him, somehow I knew from the very beginning of our first conversation this man would SAVE my life. The fee he charged was reasonable, he appeared more personal to me and wasn't just another lawyer upholding a fake 'professional persona' or a facade - he ACTUALLY seemed like a real friend and you could tell he was relateable to you and vice versa. I found that he knows some Persian as well, which made my mother and I more comfortable and confident in his abilities, since Persian people like looking out for other Persian people. Shahin never made any promises, but in the end, I knew that hiring him as my lawyer would be the best thing I've ever done. He answered just about all of my calls, reassured me he would do his best to represent me and made me feel okay. I thought my case would drag on but he got my case DISMISSED only a month after I got charged! I wasn't expecting that at all - when I walked in court and saw him standing there with a smile on his face, I knew deep inside of me that it was going to be good news, and it turned out to be the BEST news! Shahin, thank you for turning my drug case into a thing of the past, something I can look back at and laugh. Thank you for saving my life and listening to my side of the story. I hope this review helps people reading this who're looking for the best lawyer possible for the best outcome, because if your case is in the Houston area - I highly recommend hiring Shahin Zamir as he has excellent communication, a ton of experience, and connections with the opposing side from when he was a prosecutor. He is well-known!

We hired Shahin to help with a case for a family member. He was extremely professional and gave us clear guidance on exactly what to do to get the case dismissed. I was very glad that we had him on our side during a stressful time! He kept us well informed so we knew what to expect. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I'm not surprised that Mr. Zamir's reviews are at a high rating for I believe he does the necessary tasks to achieve what he says to a client when presented a case. I came to him for help and followed the reviews given to him from this page and as well as Google, I made the right choice when I followed the rest of the reviews given to him. I am truly satisfied with the outcome of my case and the professionalism that he has shown through his work. I felt relieved to see the confidence in his works which gave me a sense of relief when I saw him again in the courthouse. I highly recommend Shahin as a law professional representative.

I was facing a felony assault charge and Shahin was able to get my charge dismissed. He was always available for me to contact and if he wasn’t he timely returned my calls. He never sugar coated anything and told me all my options and road mapped me through the process. I would use him again and recommend him.

This is a review for the truth. You want a lawyer that’s going to be real with you and handle your business like a pro. I had a felony conviction for strangulations 9/1/2018. Four month past and now I’m hearing the case will get dismissed as long as i take anger management. See before all this, i thought my life was over. I thought at the minimum i would have a misdemeanor, but instead i got a second chance at life. I’m 19 and i still got my whole life ahead of me so I’m glad i chose him.This is a perfect lawyer to handle any case. He really helped me get the results i desire and i thank God that he was my lawyer because no one else would’ve handled my case better. I can’t stress enough that I’m free and happy. I would recommend him to anyone so don’t make a mistake with other crappy lawyers . Start off with the best. Thank you Mr. Zamir.

I called Mr. Zamir immediately after being being released from jail for a charge of Family Assault by Impeding Breathing. I was a nervous wreck and full of questions. He very patiently answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable that he would be more than capable and willing to help me. Within less than 24 hours notice, Shahin attended my first court appearance with me, and at that point I could tell right away that Shahin knew his way around the courtroom. He had a very confident disposition and knew all the prosecutors, the judge, and all the court staff. He was prompt in all email and phone communication throughout the entire process. What impressed me the most, was that he never promised me anything regarding my case, but assured me he would formulate the best possible defense strategy. He showed me the grand jury packet he created for my case and I was so proud of his work, I had to show it to my friends and family, who were also very worried, but was put at ease after reading the documentation Shahin was presenting. I was so happy when he told me that he had gotten my case THROWN OUT! He knew how much stress I was going through having a felony charge hanging over my head, and I could tell he was genuinely happy for me. I obviously hope I never need his services again, but if I did, I would hire him again with no hesitation. He gave me my life back! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, hard-working lawyer.

This guy is a lifesaver!! In July my partner was wrongfully arrested for a felony PCS for something that wasn't his. We were scrambling around trying to figure out what to do; we are both college students and I was really worried about how this would affect his future because we didn't want that to be on his record for something he didn't even do. He had a bad experience with his last lawyer so we wanted to find someone dependable. We had never worked with Shahin before but after talking to several lawyers, something told me that he was the one. It was a stressful waiting game up until the court date but Shahin made sure that all of our questions were answered and guided us through the whole process. He didn't make any promises and was realistic but I somehow knew it was going to be okay in the end. He is genuinely a good guy who wants to help people and is real with you. You don't see that with a lot of attorneys! On the court day he told us with a smile on his face that he talked to the prosecutor and was able to get the case dismissed!! You can't imagine how much relief that brought us. I highly suggest him for anyone who needs a good lawyer. Thank you Shahin!!!!

Shahin Zamir is a wonderful lawyer. I was charged with domestic violence and decided to hire Shahin. He was both personal and professional throughout the whole process. He handled my case with precision and care. Not only did he convince the prosecutor to dismiss my case, he also had them conclude that my "victim" was full of it. He was top notch and I would recommend him to anyone who might need his services. He was always there for me when I would contact him and was prompt in responding to any of my worries. He went above and beyond for me, and I can tell he sincerely cares about his clients. I was in tears when he told me the great news that my case was dismissed and gave him a big hug! I am eternally grateful for his representation and services. He's worth every penny!

Our son was in a bind and looking at a long sentence due to past history. This time we felt he was needing our help since the reason for being jailed was over simple words and no actions. The court appointed lawyer had just said 25 years minimum so we started looking for help. Mr Zamir was a great help and toom care of getting our sons charges dismissed and had it all done in a timely manner. We will recommend his services to any friends and family needing a great lawyer. He is very down to earth and will go the extra mile to help. Thanks again.

I fully recommend Shahin Zamir, Me and my sister were very nervous about our case, but he always pushed us forward with his positive thoughts and handled our case very well... #Reasonable#TimePunctual#BestAttorney# Thank you Shahin.

OMG! This is my fist time dealing with court in this type of way and Zamir made everything so must better, and made me feel so much better about coming to court. I had to go to court for a few mounts but it was worth it ... My Case is Now Dismissed ..... I recommend everyone looking for a lawyer.. STOP looking he is right here ... He is the best of the best...

Mr. Zamir was prompt when answering my questions and always responded to me in a timely manner. He does what he says he is going to do, he was straight up with me from the beginning and was able to get my case dismissed!
