EDIT 4 I have removed the words that Aly objected to because they are not necessary. My message is clear without them and Aly's ugly threats only further my position. Aly's most recent response: "There are dozens of outstanding reviews of my legal services on my law firm's website: http://www.sanfranciscob.... You claim I provided you a 1/2 hour phone consultation, yet I have no record of your name. During all consultations, I listen carefully to the details of the prospective client's concerns, and we discuss possible legal strategies and a realistic budget for representation. My suggestions for down payments to my prospective clients differ on a case-by-case basis, and I strongly consider their budget to present an affordable down payment and even suggest payment plans. Your review contains information that is incorrect and legally tortious even as edited, yet it seems your goal is simply to blast misinformation and defamation still. You have republished your own defamatory remarks about me by requoting them as I quoted your words in my private message to you. This is defamation per se and forms the legal basis for my action against you. You must remove this language altogether from your public review. It serves no public interest to other Yelpers to spread misinformation, but simply raises the spectre of a Yelper's own profile - nothing more. If you seek fame, blasting others on Yelp is a meager manner in which to effectuate that. It takes years to build something productive yet mere seconds to destroy it. By trying to defame my law firm, you are undermining the excellent work I do for my clients and our community. I have already contacted Yelp about this matter and will seek legal recourse in Court against you, be sure." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT 3 I have edited the original review. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT 2 Looks like Aly thinks he can fight the anti-SLAPP laws since he's threatening to sue me. For the sake of clarification, in my original review I was relating my experience - our conversation as I remember and understood it. I do not have a transcript of the conversation. I was not quoting Aly verbatim. The lack of quotation marks should have made that clear. Here is the message I found in my Inbox from Aly: "In your review of my firm and of me, you state that I said, " **** *** ** ***** " These false statements of yours are defamation per se of my character and business. Freedom of speech does not protect you when you defame me with libel or slander. I am warning you that I will sue you for this for injunctive relief and monetary damages in Superior Court of CA. For litigation purposes and to serve you a Summons and Complaint, I can easily find your identity and address via subpoenas. You must remove this libel immediately from anywhere you have written it, including Yelp." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT 1 My response to Aly's comment: Notice how Aly never addresses the issue I brought up in his response to my review. Also, he has not proven that the testimonials he presents are real. I am real and you can message me if you want further info. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So this guy expects you to pay up front thru paypal for a phone consultation, before even scheduling the consultation - a little shady, but nothing conclusive. We do the phone consultation and instead of actually addressing the issues in our case and discussing a possible strategy he goes off on a highly unprofessional tangent - that's my opinion of course. $70 down the toilet. The kicker: If you want to hire him he expects you to give him $5,000 (cashier's check) without providing you with a fee/retainer agreement. He claims that he writes a fee agreement tailor made for the client and as such the client should provide the $5,000 as a sign of good faith. If the client fails "to sign and send this proposed contract back to me so that I receive it within seven (7) calendar days (unless another time deadline is indicated in the email that I send to you with the proposed contract, or in the contract itself), then I will charge you a nonrefundable flat rate of $250 for my time spent in drafting and sending you the proposed contract, which I may immediately deduct from any monies you have sent to me" My life advice to anyone who cares to listen: Do whatever can to avoid ever having to deal with a lawyer - I'm sure there are some out there who are decent human beings, but good luck finding 'em. read more

I would have to agree with Ada about this man. First of all, his Spanish isn't fluent. He was hired due to this supposed qualification but when it came down to it he couldn't communicate well with certain family members so we had to resort to translating for him. Secondly, what really irks me is that he makes himself out to be someone who wants to help; however, I disagree that was the case with us. He seemed much more preoccupied with us paying him, there was very little sense of any concern for the people involved. Our savings were depleted, $10000+ spent, only to have him sign off in the middle case leaving us to look for another lawyer to help us. This was very disappointing and difficult. The fact that he threatens people who write negative reviews about him should be a warning to all of you about the kind of person he is. If you have any questions feel free to message me. read more

called him today and he was very abrupt to a point of being rude in my book. not a very nice guy. personality is abrasive. he wants money upfront for talking to me. it states free consultation on his website which he says is what he is doing right at that moment. btw we didnt go over much of anything. even though his site states free consultation, he works it so that its only 5 mins is free, per his statement. good job bro. I guess he could have made it only 2 mins of consult for free. I really got no real info out of the few mins of chatting. isn't the purpose of a consult to see if both sides will work out and see if they like your case. his attempt is to have you pay for that assessment. what I got out of this first few mins of talking to him is that he wants me to pay him money right away with some sort of online system he has going on. he doesn't seem to care about my issue. what I don't know is what he is good at, where he is located at, what he can do for me, has he worked on any cases like mine, what his specialty is, absolutely nothing worthy was presented in the few mins. I wont be going with this guy for sure. he has only a couple of other reviews on here and I now have to agree with their low rating. if your good, you should be good on all media. I am sure he will attempt to write back to this review as he has already done with the others. when 3/3 reviews are in similar levels, you gotta kinda think. read more

This review may be a little pre-mature but the Olympic performance of Prometheus Law Firm to date must be shared with any one who is the need of an attorney who has the Brass Spheroids that will ensure you, you have made the right choice in finding a lawyer. Aly Ebrahimzadeh Esquire (owner) has been our attorney in a case that a lot of other families are facing or soon to experience, "Wrongful Foreclosure". My wife and I were in need of assistance with our Mortgage, so we tried to get a loan modification via the Home Affordable Modification Program. After a year of being ignored, lied to, watching my hair turn gray, and basically being beaten up by "Big Banking", we found a guy to take our side and be the David against this modern day Goliath. We all know lawyers are expensive but I believe in buying the best, pay once cry once, having piece of mind from driving a Mercedes and not a Toyota. Aly has the experience, knowledge, and determination one should want and demand in an attorney. Reading the E-mails/letters he has been writing on our behalf is like watching a 100 yard kick-off return by an athlete on steroids but you don't care because he's on your team. We aren't out of the woods yet but we have total and complete confidence we will prevail. "We are high stepping on the 10" To be continued. read more

Aly Ebrahemzideh, BILKED me out of over $12,000 without delivering anything that he said he would. He calls his firm of which he is the only attorney working there, "A Social Justice Law Firm" which is rubbish as he is only in it for the money, regardless of if he wins your case or not. Basically, Mr. Ebrahemzideh, began my case with a bang, influencing me to literally buy into his lies. He told me that I had a good case and that he thought I could win quickly and easily. Eventually, the case ran longer than he indicated it would and I ran out of money to pay him. Upon knowing that I had no more money, Ebrahemzideh dropped me off in the middle of the ocean and left me to drown. I was left defenseless and got schooled by the defendants attorney's, resulting in a lost case and my suffering both financially and emotionally. After I ran out of money and it was apparent that I wasn't going to be able to give him any more money, I asked him if he could at the least give me any suggestions as to how I should further handle my case. His reply, after bilking me for over $12,000, was that he no longer represented me and he would not give me one sentence more of legal advice. Oh, he did tell me, after he wouldn't represent me any longer, that my case would have eventually have run close to $50,000 or more had I had enough money to pay him. Aly was never up front about this and If he had been honest with me in the first place, I wouldn't have paid him a dime. BTW, his style is to ask for payments of $2500 give or take, so be aware... Mr. Ebrahemzidah is all about the money and doesn't represent anything close to being a social justice attorney! Prometheus Law Firm, or Aly Ebrahimzadeh, should not be allowed to practice law anywhere in the United States of America. read more

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 Aly Ebrahimzadeh 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 Aly in both arenas and I highly recommend him. Aly has all the characteristics that one needs in an attorney - but rarely finds as one package. Aly 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. Aly has a superior absorption and recall ability that regularly left me speechless. The comfort I found, in trusting my trial outcome to Aly, 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 Aly, I won my case on every single issue and every single point. Prometheus was a champion of mankind, known for his wily intelligence, who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. Aly Ebrahimzadeh chose his firm's name well; he certainly possesses the wily intelligence but instead of just fire, he 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. read more
