Esfandi is a very professional criminal defense attorney who I was pleased to have on my side. I would definitely suggest his services, and I was pleased with his efforts and, eventually, the conclusion of my case. Esfandi was able to successfully navigate the legal system during the pandemic's chaos, and she made care to keep me informed of any new developments. Again, I strongly suggest him, and I thought his fee was quite reasonable considering what he was able to accomplish for me.

I sought Seppi's help with a case that had been filed against me erroneously. On a Sunday, he got right to work gathering information. He had filed all he needed the next day and was dealing with the prosecutor. When no charges were filed against me, my case was dismissed. He was quick to respond, and his comments were straightforward and straightforward. I value his assistance because he clearly understands what he is doing. If you require legal aid, I strongly advise you to contact him and his staff. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,

We contacted Esfandi concerning a potential criminal case. He quickly responded, replied to every email I sent him, in detail, explaining the process. Very detailed with all my questions and concerns. We will be hiring him as soon as we are ready to move forward. Highly recommend him if you need a attorney.

I am an experienced criminal defense attorney in Eugene, OR. I needed a professional courtesy from a Sherman Oaks attorney to obtain some local treatment provider information.
I was impressed with Mr. Esfandi's website and experience and I called his office. I left a message explaining the information I needed.
Mr. Esfandi called me back 3 minutes later and emailed me the information shortly after that.
Sometimes the littlest things, like a quick reply and professionalism, tell you everything you need to know about the quality of an attorney. I am very impressed with Mr. Esfandi and his law

I had the pleasure of meeting Seppi at Esfandi Law Group. He is an outstanding attorney and even better person with a huge heart. I felt the enormous capacity for empathy and love he has for his clients. I would undoubtedly entrust him with my own legal matter and refer him to family members if ever needed.

If you are looking for a Lawyer who cares about your side, who treats you like family, and is the BEST. Look no further. Seppi is legitimately the most incredible lawyer out there man. I tried speaking to many others, was brushed off , and told what they would do after a negative outcome. Seppi not only valued my side as his client ,but told me preventative action we could take now. He never gave up. He's honest with you, values not only your business, but your trust.
Grateful is an understatement for what I am.
Don't hesitate to get a lawyer , hire Seppi.

When I was dealing with my court case I was very anxious and confused as to what the outcome will be. After a few days of uncertainty, I decided to throw in a white flag and review my case online, within a minute or so 'Law Offices of Seppi Esfandi' contacted me. I spoke to Defence attorney Jorge Guerrero, and I kid you not he instantly eased my anxiety, stress and took me in with open arms. Unlike most attorneys out there, Law Offices of Seppi Esfandi genuinely care about you and your life. From there I was convinced that he's the right attorney. He handled my case like a champ

He didnt settle for offers i didnt aprove of..Seppi pressed in and surprised me and my family of his skill and experience. Not to mention his competitive prices. I scored with Seppi Esfandi!

I've never been in a situation where I needed a lawyer before. Seppi has been highly communicative, proactive and knowledgeable as well as affordable. He is very personable and listens to you, as well as makes you feel comfortable with the process. I felt such relief after choosing him. The best part? He got my case dismissed! I highly recommend him.

Seppi and Shaun were by far the nicest people I have dealt with. I had a complicated situation with terrible prosecutors thinking just because I had a DUI, it automatically makes me a loser, a drunk, a terrible person - we all make mistakes. Seppi was able to get my case dismissed at one courthouse, and at the second was able to have me get the minimum sentence.
I was scared from the get-go, but he was very supportive, especially after my mom passed. I would recommend Seppi and the Firm to my family/friends (heaven forbid they ever end up in my situation).

Seppi was awesome. He will answer his phone at 10pm on a Saturday or any other time you need him. I've never had to call back. A few other firms I talked to wanted me to call back several times before they could even give me a quote or advice. He took the time to really listen to me and was able to meet right away. The decision to hire him was obvious. I've never been in legal trouble before and he made me feel very comfortable and assured throughout the entire situation.
I actually relocated to northern California before the case ended and he was able to handle everything for me from

I'd like to start off by thanking Seppi for getting my case DISMISSED! As my job was relying on it.
In January I was arrested for a warrant I didn't even know I had from 2012. At the time I was working at a sports bar and got my name mixed up in a criminal drug case. When I was arrested I was absolutely mortified as I didn't remember doing anything illegal with drugs in my life! Not to mention the DA was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL and wouldn't tell us what evidence they had, yet went out of their way to fax my job the details, which resulted in me being put on leave. I Googled criminal

I want to start off by saying I don't ever review on yelp unless it is WELL deserved.
I gave Seppi Esfandi a call after some legal troubles arose and left his office a message simply stating my name and asking for a call back. It was after about two minutes that I received a call from Seppi himself.
During the phone conversation, Seppi actually listened to what I had to say and gave me extremely helpful information.
The conversation ended with "if you have any questions at any time. please feel free to call me. If I am not in the courtroom I will always pick up."
That day came

If you need a good lawyer he is great! After a friend recommended that I speak with him I was glad I did. He is very intellectual and trustworthy. He spends the time explaining everything you need to know and is patient which I really liked. He helped me out a lot. His staff is also great. I highly recommend him.

Seppi Esfandi got my case thrown out and dismissed my felony. Sometimes when you make a mistake you need a second chance and now I can keep going after my career goals without fear of having a criminal record. I am forever grateful to Seppis law firm and his skills. Thank you again!!

Seppi is the best lawyer!! I was charged with a felony and he told me that it was a felony strike but that he would work hard for me. I knew to get him on my case because of the way he presented himself, i could tell he was a good lawyer. my case got dismissed after he went to court with me a few times. I am so thankful to seppi for helping me.
