I also focus on residential and commercial real estate matters, including:

- Landlord/tenant matters, residential and commercial leases, and eviction
- Neighbor disputes

- Small business formation and operating issues
- Business disputes and civil litigation

I will always be grateful to you for originally offering me your reduced hourly rate - and even more so for reaching out to me one more time when you suspected that I could not afford it. You're obviously a real advocate with a heart, helping regular people get through injustices that happen in their daily lives . . It has been wonderful getting to know you. Thank you again for doing God's work, offering to provide payment schedules or whatever so that I can have the services that I needed at a very accessible price . . . I will never forget that."

I felt like I didn't know how to defend myself because of my wife and her attorney. I feel like you are the right person to represent me . . . I feel like at this time I have no other choice and I need to start taking care of myself. I wish I would have found you earlier . . . Thanks again and I look forward to working with you."

I strongly recommend him to friends and family for issues in his four practice areas - Business, Property, Family, and Criminal Defense. It is hard to find an attorney who really knows what they are doing and who will treat you so fairly. Mr. Ebrahimzadeh is an excellent, fair and trustworthy attorney, and he is a real find."

------------------------------------------------------

"An Exceptional Law Firm: Last year, I encountered two different legal matters, one civil involving Greyhound Transportation, and another a criminal matter for a misdemeanor charge. Dr. Aly Ebrahimzadeh, Esq. is the attorney who helped me on both matters. He settled the civil matter efficiently and to my satisfaction, provided excellent legal research and writing, was very tenacious with the opposing party, and charged me very little for the work. Better still, for the criminal matter, he had it dismissed within minutes before the judge in Oakland, CA Superior Court. Within half an hour, we were enjoying a cappuccino at the downtown Oakland Farmer's Market. He's funny, professional, and brings a lot of relief to stressful situations. His law firm focuses on Social Justice, and handles Criminal Law, Family Law, Property, Wills, Trusts, and Business litigation, transactions, and mediation. I'm having my Estate Portfolio drafted by Aly as well, and so far it looks amazing. It includes more than any other I've seen in looking around for a comprehensive Estate Portfolio, including a Charitable Trust, a Living Will, a Pour-Over Will, etc., and each one of these is incredibly specific in its details - exactly what the Doctor ordered! I highly recommend Prometheus: A Social Justice Law Firm. . . ."

------------------------------------------------------

"Upon researching your firm, I came to a better understanding of what you do. Between your vast areas of practice and your remarkable language dexterity, I am awfully impressed . . . I find your transition from teacher, professor, and farm-worker to a public interest attorney to be both poignant and inspiring . . . I want to thank you for all that you do and tell you how great your involvement in social justice truly is. I know it might not mean much, but you have truly convinced a seventeen year-old girl that a career in law might be for her."

- Part of a Letter to Aly Ebrahimzadeh, Esq. from a Sacramento, CA High School Student, May 21, 2010.

------------------------------------------------------

"Aly, wow. You have done more in 24-48 hours than I could ever imagine possible. I'm actually speechless. I've read your [work] over and over and I just want to thank you for all the research, thought and strategy that went into all that work. THANKS! . . . I actually got some hope today after 2 plus years of trying to just be treated with some respect and dignity . . ."

------------------------------------------------------




I had a fantastic experience with Mr. Ebrahimzadeh. He went above and beyond what I had expected. I was faced with a very serious situation involving an unemployment overpayment and accusations of making false statements.

The Judge said the documents Mr. Ebrahimzadeh prepared for my case were so thorough that they made the case simple for him to decide, and he ruled in my favor. Mr. Ebrahimzadeh is a straight shooter and will not waste your time or jerk you around. He responds to calls and e-mails promptly.

I would recommend Mr. Ebrahimzadeh to all my friends and family, the services he offers are well worth the price.

- Client emailed testimonial, August 16, 2010


----------------------------------------------------


". . . the Olympic performance of the Prometheus Law Firm to date must be shared with anyone who is in the need of an attorney who has the Brass Spheroids that will reassure you that you have made the right choice in finding a lawyer. Aly Ebrahimzadeh, Esq. (owner) has been our attorney in a case that a lot of other families are facing or soon to experience, "Wrongful Foreclosure." My wife and I were in need of assistance with our Mortgage, so we tried to get a loan modification via the Home Affordable Modification Program. After a year of being ignored, lied to, watching my hair turn gray, and basically being beaten up by "Big Banking," we found a guy to take our side and be the David against this modern day Goliath. We all know lawyers are expensive but I believe in buying the best, pay once cry once, having peace of mind from driving a Mercedes and not a Toyota. Aly has the experience, knowledge, and determination one should want and demand in an attorney. Reading the E-mails/ letters he has been writing on our behalf is like watching a 100 yard kick-off return by an athlete on steroids but you don't care because he's on your team. We aren't out of the woods yet but we have total and complete confidence that we will prevail.
'We are high-stepping on the 10' . . ."

- Client emailed testimonial, August 16, 2010

"Mr. Ebrahimzadeh puts to rest all of the stereotypes about lawyers being the scourge of society and has completely renewed my faith in the profession. He is accessible, professional, personable, knowledgeable, trustworthy and affordable, and by utilizing his services early on I have gained incredibly invaluable advice that will save me thousands over the course of the future. He is available to meet whatever needs I may have at all times, easy to talk to and incredibly competent. I recommend him with no reservations whatsoever to anyone seeking legal counsel across any of the areas within his range of services."

- Client testimonial, September 5, 2010


----------------------

"I have consulted with Mr. Aly Ebrahimzadeh, Esq. on several occasions. On each occasion, I found his assistance to exceed my expectations. The primary reason for a consultation is to get an educated assessment of the legal matter at hand. Be it in person, or via phone consultation, Mr. Ebrahimzadeh attentively listens to the legal matter at hand and dissects the issues to explain how the legal aspect applied to each issue. He stays unbiased and focuses on explaining the legal strengths and weaknesses of the matter at hand. The legal picture he presents is complete and thorough, which allows a client to make guided decisions on the course of action. Decisions taken in haste can prove disadvantageous and Mr. Ebrahimzadeh's sincere input was extremely helpful in making the right decisions. Mr. Ebrahimzadeh is meticulous in reading and evaluating the subject of the legal matter, which always results in a well-informed client. The synergy between a well-informed client and his/her attorney makes the handling of the case more efficient for both the parties. Mr. Ebrahimzadeh's broad knowledge of various legal matters and willingness to accommodate schedules makes him my first preference when I seek advice on legal matters."

It can be a very trying and stressful time when you find yourself in need of an attorney. Not only are you concerned about your particular legal issue, but like most people, you are concerned about the relationship you will have with your attorney and the fees that will be charged. Let's face it, lawyers, like politicians, have a bad reputation. People worry their attorney will not take their case seriously, or will try to squeeze every dime they can out of the case. I understand these feelings and concerns. Unfortunately, they are far too often justified.

Before I became a lawyer I had occasion to hire attorneys in my business. I also worried about their commitment to my case and the fees they charged. This experience shaped my philosophy on the practice of law.

In my practice, I believe my client and I are partners. We share the same goals and we work together to achieve these goals. To facilitate this close collaboration, my clients are free to contact me anytime, without fear of being charged for “chit chat” that doesn’t advance the case.

I am completely dedicated to providing the highest quality legal representation at a reasonable cost for every client. I aggressively pursue my client's rights and will do everything necessary to achieve our shared objectives.
