"It's interesting and I can't go into detail on certain aspects of this and I do not know Ms. Saei personally but, I had someone in my office today that used to live out in her area. All I heard about was how good Ms. Saei in representing the person in my office in a past case. Although I live and work in Ohio, I felt like I was competing for a new client with Ms. Saei. After the person left I decided to search here and found her, I've read the numerous client reviews and looked at some answers to legal questions she has given people seeking legal advice. Every now and then I need to get an attorney for someone in another state and, if LA is where I need to find one, I can say without hesitation Ms. Saei is the attorney I would call first."
