Hired Attorney John D. Sarai

Mr. Sarai was the attorney with whom I worked. He was the consummate professional: patient, efficient, and always made himself available whenever I expressed concerns or had questions. His two colleagues, Kian and Anthony, were also professional and helpful. Anthony was present with me during my hearing. Mr. Sarai had prepared me ahead of time, and as he indicated, Anthony was present and also put me at ease prior to the hearing. Without hesitation I would recommend this law firm.

Hired Attorney John D. Sarai

I felt so at ease working with John. He is attentive and easy to talk to. He is knowledgeable and returns emails and phone calls very quickly. I really like that. I would highly recommend John's firm. The only disappointment I had, was that John did not appear with me in court. He sent a colleague.

I did a lot of searching around before I found John Sarai. Once we had a conversation regarding my bankruptcy he immediately made me feel completely comfortable with the whole bankruptcy process. He was very efficient and reassuring for my individual situation. I had no idea what to expect and he walked me through every step of the way. Thanks John!

John is a great attorney that delivered on what he said he can do. He assisted me and my business with our debts, and helped eliminate them to get me that fresh start. He always took the time to talk over the phone and respond to all my emails, and never rushed me. He answered all my questions in full detail. From day one, I was confident that John was the attorney to go with, and I would refer his services to anyone that needs them.
