A couple years ago, I had my previous employer fire me based on my health. I immediately reached out to Houman and his team and they welcomed my case. It was a long journey, but Houman and his team kept in contact with me consistently. I even was able to text him, often, asking about any updates from his end. He always kept me in the loop and I was never a step behind. His paralegals also were amazing. When the case neared its end, they spent a lot of time with me in sorting out through the finalization of my case. I had great faith in them and I would genuinely recommend Houman and his team to anyone. Filing a lawsuit and handling the legalities can be extremely time consuming, but I never had a doubt that I would not see the light at the end of the tunnel and seek justice. Thank you so much, Houman. I appreciate all your hard work.

Hiring Fakhimi &Associates was a life saving experience for my family. After being reunited with my son for only 3 months after a 3 yr prison term, he was once again facing the end of his rope. However, we knew not to make the same mistake again of going with a public defender, and risk never seeing my son in the next decade. We were dealing with one of the toughest Counties in CA, and there didn’t seem much light at the end of the tunnel with this circuit. This time we hired Fakhimi & Assoc. We had prior knowledge of the skills and tenacity of his team, but mistakenly didn’t retain the first time. What a huge mistake. We knew this case was going to require the best in the field. 1 month and 1 day after facing a long list of charges, I picked up my Son and brought him home from custody. The team triaged the case at every milestone, reassuring us that we were indeed in good hands. The prosecution was put to the test with this team, and I ultimately have my Son back with his rights fully in tact, and home for the holidays. This firm delivered results, took the lead, and we ended with the best possible arrangements. Do not trust your loved ones future with another team. This is a VICTORY for my family and yet another win for Fakhimi & Assoc. We are forever grateful - Charlotte (Riverside)

Mr. Fakhimi can add, "Succesfully Represent in Family Court to his credentials as of today!" A year ago our world was turned upside down by certain individuals in our county who I thought were placed there to protect us. On our first court appearance and after reading the allegations againt me. I was advised by the court appointed defender, to seek a criminal laywer who could better represent me. While reseaching for a lawyer and with some divine luck, I found and hired Mr. Fakhimi. He stood by my side against an overwhelmed children's justice system that was looking to throw the books at me on three very serious charges. If convicted, these charges had the potential to destroy my life and divide our family. Fast foward one year...I'm happy to share that just a few hours ago our case was completely dismissed out of court. I am profoundly grateful for the professionalism and appreciative of the time, the effort, the advice, and the representation that were offered by Mr. Fakimi and his fabulous legal team. provided by Mr.Fakhimi and his team.

I met Mr. Houman today and it was very nice of him to give me immediate appointment when he is really busy at his offices. I met many lawyers this month and I can say truly that this gentleman is an honest lawyer, and he does not sugar coat your case and he is not afraid to share the facts and possible solutions. Mr Houman was very understanding of my financial situation and worked with me to the best he can to help me. He is very skilled, 20 year top experienced, and he DOES listen to you. Thank you Mr. Houman for your efforts and hope my case gets solved, God willing, with your help.

Got caught red handed & on camera for a petty theft misdemeanor case. Was super stressed about a dirty record & jail time. upon hiring Mr. Fahkimi, he told me not to worry about it. In the end the case was dismissed! no dirty record, no jail time

I honestly can’t express my gratitude on how of an amazing job this lawyer provided. His team is very responsive and alert with any news on the matter of the case. This lawyer will fight hard and he will leave no stone unturned. My case was possession of marijuana on federal land and Houma Fakhimi was able to look at the facts and get my case dismissed. Very humble and brutally honest . Thank you again legal team for my representation

I hired Mr. Fakhimi for a very complicated case. Being the brilliant litigator he is, he won the case. Mr. Fakhimi is super knowledgeable, fair, and caring. He truly makes his clients feel special and important. Mr. Fakhimi was recommended to me by a few different people and he lived up to his wonderful reputation. I highly recommend Mr. Fakhimi and his staff!
