I would highly recommend Shahrad Milanfar. He was my attorney in a traumatic brain injury case. He was great and got a much better result than I expected. If you need a personal injury attorney, give him a call.

Shahrad handled a wrongful death (asbestos) claim for my company. He was great at explaining the case and legal procedures to me, as well as working in a timely and diligently fashion to resolve the case. He is very knowledgeable, fair and a sharp negotiator. Should I ever need legal representation again, he will be the first person I call. I would highly recommend him!

To whom it may concern: Shahrad Milanfar successfully resolved a complicated case for our teenage son, who had been involved in a serious accident. During the process, Shahrad demonstrated insight into a complex situation where several parties, their attorneys, and insurance companies were involved. Shahrad showed great patience in allowing the case to play out,encouraging us to be patient. He clearly explained the alternatives available to us and to other parties, as well as the possible outcomes. Over several months, Shahrad dealt with us in a positive and calming manner, and produced the most positive outcome we could have hoped for. We strongly recommend Shahrad for his skill as an attorney and mediator. Sincerely, Geoff and Ruth P.

I was introduced to Shahrad by another fabulous attorney Michael Panah for mediation. Shahrad is extremely professional, responsive and capable. He also charged a very reasonable number of hours for what he accomplished for us. My husband and I were both very impressed by his skill level, warmth as a person and his honesty in all our dealings with him. He partners with you to solve issues honestly and does not take sides. He is definitely on my short list of attorneys to be recommended to friend and family.

Mr. Milanfar was appointed by the Santa Clara County Superior Court to act as an early settlement "neutral" or mediator over a property damage claim I was handling. Mr. Milanfar spent the time necessary to become familiar with the case and he diligently worked to bridge a very large gap between plaintiff's initial demand and defendant's initial settlement offer. Although the case did not settle at the early settlement conference, Mr. Milanfar continued to follow up with the parties over the next several months until they were finally able to reach an agreement which resolved the case without the need for an expensive trial. During the process, I was very impressed with Mr. Milanfar's knowledge, tenacity and his negotiation skills. I also found him to be very pleasant to work with. Most importantly, my client was very happy with the end result.
