Verified ClientHired Attorney 2018-2019Shazam has to be one of the best attorneys I’ve had the privilege of meeting! He NEVER sugar-coated anything with me and gave me solid advice for how to get through the case. Shazam genuinely had my best interest at heart and worked his butt off to help me. If you don’t have an attorney who actually cares, I would dump them and consult Shazam! No games, no bs- do your part and Shazam can make some amazing things happen.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2014I was recently pulled over on HWY36 for doing 87 in a 55 (construction zone) as well as following too close. Not having been pulled over in a long time and NEVER for this type of infraction i was quite nervous about what my future in driving would be. I read the laws in CO and the punishments and well i was even more nervous. I called a few attorneys as i knew the only way out of this, i was going to need some experienced help. I did not know who to call. I searched the internet, called 4 attorneys. Carlos was one of the persons i spoke with. Right off the bat i felt confident he was going to take care of things for me more so than the other people i spoke with and he was very informative. My ticket was for 10pts. Carlos and his team were able to get the ticket reduced to 2pts and the speeding and following to closely dropped. I did have to take a faulty vehicle and still pay the double fine but all in all i could not have gotten that type of judgement on my own. I could not have asked for a better attorney or results. I would highly recommend the Shazam team to my friends and anybody else looking for an aggressive attorney who will fight to ensure you come out ahead of the game! This team gets a 10 out of 10 star rating!!!

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2010Shazam was terrific from the moment I met him. Immediately understood my case without passing judgement and made me feel more comfortable about my options regarding a misdemeanor. I had spoken to a few other attorneys who had been more discouraging and negative and when I met with Shazam I felt I could trust him. He and his staff know the area, the players, how each court works to determine the best strategy, which surprisingly many attorneys did not. He is very simple and straight-forward but is very caring and personal. Even after the case was closed, he has always been timely responsive to questions. His fees are very reasonable for what he delivers. Shazam knows his stuff and I would not hesitate to use him again.

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2012On several occasions I was in need of legal advice and I contacted Shazam Kianpour and he was quick and professional with the answers to my somewhat complicated questions thrust upon him. He also made sure to contact me to check that my situation was rectified. I would recommend Shaz to anyone that is in need of legal advice or legal representation without hesitation.
