If you're reading this because you're overwhelmed by the SSDI process, I was in your exact position…read more-- confused, denied twice, and honestly exhausted. Hiring Dr. Amir Niazmand at California Disability Advocates was the turning point that changed everything for me. From day one, he immediately identified why my original SSDI application failed and what had gone wrong during the earlier stages. His ability to break down the issues clearly -- and without judgment -- gave me more clarity in a single conversation than I had gotten in months of dealing with SSA on my own. What stood out most was his communication and organization. He handled every single SSA message promptly, guided me through each step, and prepared me thoroughly: * A month before the hearing (strategy and evidence review) * A week before (fine-tuning my testimony and expectations) * The day before (last-minute confidence check-in) He never rushed me and answered every question with patience and expertise. Just a couple of days before my ALJ hearing, I received the result from a new MRI assessment that supported my disability. Dr. Amir submitted it immediately, and the judge actually reviewed it before our hearing -- something that could easily have been missed without an advocate who stays on top of everything. I was also surprised by how quickly things moved. I hired him in June and received a court date in November -- much sooner than I expected. And when the day arrived, my ALJ hearing lasted less than 20 minutes, even though these hearings typically run 45 minutes to an hour. The judge had no further questions beyond what Dr. Amir had prepared me for, which speaks to how strong and organized my case presentation was. I walked in nervous and a bit overwhelmed, but I walked out feeling understood and represented. For anyone wondering about the cost: yes, SSDI representatives typically receive 25% of your backpay, capped by federal law (currently around $7,200). This is a standard, one-time fee that is only deducted after you win your case -- meaning if you're not approved, they don't get paid. In my experience, the level of preparation, communication, and the successful outcome I received made this more than worth it! If you're struggling with the SSDI process, don't wait months or years trying to decode the system alone. Dr. Amir Niazmand's expertise, preparation, and communication made an overwhelming process manageable -- and ultimately successful! I received word yesterday that I was fully approved. I can't recommend him highly enough.

They recently closed my personal injury case following my accident, and they skillfully negotiated the absolute best possible result and settlement for me. Throughout the entire two-year process, the entire staff worked tirelessly on my behalf. I want people to truly understand how much they genuinely cared about me and my case; it wasn't just a business to them. They stayed in touch with me at every single step, providing detailed updates about my case's progress. Throughout the process, we sent long emails filled with questions and concerns, and they never missed answering a single one of them. I strongly advise anyone to get a consultation with Mesriani Law Group before hiring any other law firm.

Navruz is truly a gem of an attorney and I'm honored to have had her by my side representing me in…read morea wrongful termination lawsuit. From the very first phone consultation I had with Navruz, I immediately knew she was who I wanted to represent me. She was extremely sharp, honest, responsive, all while at the same time, compassionate and empathetic. What differentiated Navruz from all the other attorneys I had spoken with was that I felt like she truly believed in me and my story- a sentiment that never wavered with her as our lawsuit progressed. Also, while other attorneys seemed to emphasize the lawsuit as the utmost priority in my life, Navruz's main focus was always to prioritize my wellbeing and future first. Throughout the lawsuit, I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge, work ethic, effective communication, and unwavering patience in educating me about the law and each step of the lawsuit. I always felt I was part of the process in every way. Though I knew I was in good hands throughout the process, it wasn't until I saw her in action that affirmed for me she was definitely the right choice. Though kind and compassionate with me, Navruz was a force to be reckoned with the other side. She was prepared, strategic, relentless, quick thinking, assertive, and never wavered in ensuring the best possible outcome for me. In the end, we were able to successfully resolve the case, and I was able to finally close this chapter of my life. Words cannot even begin to describe the amount of gratitude I have for Navruz, and it truly is an honor to have her by your side!

After that when I missed the hearing the original lawyer who I signed paperwork came down to Sacramento from San Diego or LA I forget but in my opinion to try and persuade me to sign paperwork which I didn't on the spot being there other associates had called me to pressure me and get me to sign the second offer that was sent. After I didn't sign it the fallowing days I revived a email and phone call basically threatening to not receive any funds on the representative side of things which wasn't much. For me being a class member representative of the case. the pressure I felt let me to believe somthing wasn't right and I signed it in the end just to find out there still not exactly settling at the moment. Even tho they were putting some serious pressure on me to sign. I recemmeber other firms like the one I found for my sister after i hired these guys. based on my experience I would give them 1 star. For many reason I'm sure there aware of like we're going on 5 years and still haven't settled.

As…read moresomeone who has worked with attorneys before, I can say with confidence that one of the most important qualities an attorney must have is true empathy.

He also communicated well which is another must have quality in an attoney. Recently I shared a matter with my contacts and Mr. Houman reached out just to ask how I was doing. This is genuine care for others. This is the type of quality you would want in your attorney. In LA there is no shortage of attorneys who display pseudo empathy to have you retain them or to maintain a certain image. It's rare to find genuinely caring attorneys and Borna Houman is one of those rare attorneys.
