I reached out to Shahram Miri's office and it was inherently obvious that I need not look any further to seek help. Mr. Miri took my call immediately (even following a holiday weekend) and he took time out of his busy schedule to explain in detail about inner workings of a family trust. The professionalism, kindness and patience he showed me was incredibly generous while completely putting my mind at ease. Sha is extremely knowledgeable and honest, plus he doesn't waste time in getting right to the heart of the matter. Sha even sent a follow-up email to provide me with additional information after reviewing the trust documents.

The paperwork looks daunting but Robert assures me that digging deep into my financial profile isn't the aim, it's really a simple gathering of assets to figure out what my plans are if I become incapacitated in any way. I love that Robert was attentive, and especially when I told him that my 3 cats' lives were important to me should I be unable to care for them.

I shall attempt not to write a verbose review, but Attorney Kirk Elliot, indispensably, saved me…read morefrom guaranteed destitution. I, much to my chagrin, accrued a slew of Traffic Tickets. Seven in a year to be precise. I was stricken in grief when I received three unbeknownst to me in the mail, all generated in a week. I hired California Traffic Defenders, and after a year of continuances, the Attorney No Showed in Court on three tickets. Had to work to get first attorney disbarred. After successfully doing so, I intimately explained all my travails. I deliver food for a living, so keeping my license was indispensable. I would be homeless otherwise. Miraculously Mister Elliott got my three cases reopened. Then he took possession of my other four cases. I had six cases dismissed without any points except one. I feel indebted beyond words to convey my unmitigated gratitude, to Attorney Elliott. His acumen to command the courtroom adroitly is obviously second to none. His office has been resoundingly lucid in all communications throughout this lengthy process. Mister Elliott, I am in near tears, to express my humility for your godsend service.
