5.0 out of 5 stars

Shazam 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.

I 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!!!

Shazam 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.

On 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.

Mr. Kianpour was a fantastic attorney. From the start, I felt that he had my best interest in mind, would work hard for my case and I was comfortable knowing I was in knowledgeable and capable hands. I highly recommend Mr. Kianpour and his wonderful staff.

Shazam and his office were the only team I spoke to during my time of need that really seemed to care about me. He is straight-forward, attentive, and possibly the least judgemental lawyer I've ever met! I came to him terrified, lost, and facing jail time. He helped me every step of the way, was always timely and prepared, and treated me like a person instead of a criminal. Best of all, he kept me out of jail and even managed to get me an extremely light sentence compared to the initial charge I was faced with. I would recommend him (as well as two of the other associates I have personally met) to anyone looking for honest help.

Shazam was easily contacted throughout the year I needed his services. He typically responded within the hour of writing him. His office staff was friendly and helpful. I did not go to trial, but he was helpful though all of the hearings to keep me appraised of what to expect. He seemed very knowledgeable and was professional in court. I can not speak of trial cases, but having someone to turn to with questions and be with me in court was valuable to me.

From the bottom of my heart, I would say that he is God's agent for sure. You might come across many attorney's but PLEASE CHOOSE MR. SHAZAM without any second thoughts. I was on a business trip in Denver, and for no fault of mine, I was booked under "unlawful contact" case. It was a wrongful sex accusation case. I have family & kids and had no idea what I was going thru. For next 8-10 months, I was very very worried and was under lot of depression thinking that I could end-up in the jail for 2 years. Though under depression only good thing that I did was, I somehow I got in touch with Mr. Shazam (thru google), immediately after I got booked under the case. He studied my case so thoroughly that at the end he knew many new things about my case, which I myself wasn't aware of. Throughout those 8-10 months, though I was very worried, but every time I spoke to him, he made me feel comfortable. His voice itself used to give me lot of strength. He and his team had put together every little detail, and on the day of the trail, they talked so well that I could clearly tell that they had planned for it in a very big way. They argued with the District Attorney and the Police so well that the DA & the Police ended-up eating their own words at the end. It was more or less like playing a chess game where you attack your opponent in a planned step by step manner. At the end, I was found NOT GUILTY by the Jury. All I can say is, just trust Mr. Shazam completely and let him handle the job for you. You will be so glad that you have chosen him. I'm indebted to him forever.

Shazam represented my daughter under difficult and trying circumstances. He immediately put us at ease and explained everything to us in a way that we could understand and appreciate. He followed up with us on a regular basis and never left us wondering what was going on. He was diligent and made us feel like we were his most important client.Other attorneys we previously consulted were only after what was best for them...not for us.We are eternally grateful for his representation and give him and his firm our highest recommendation.

I would without a doubt recommend Shazam Kianpour to anybody seeking a attorney who is committed to the interest of his clients. I walked into his office uncertain and scared of what awaited in my felony case and after hiring him, left with a sense of knowing someone was their to fight for your and your rights. From the beginning I expressed my concern of serving jail or prison time and told shazam that i wanted any alternative . Shazam gave me and my case the attention it deserved and got me no time served. Honestly couldn't have wished for a better out come.

I highly recommend Shazaam Kianpour to anyone in need of a criminal lawyer. He was very honest and direct with us about what he could do. ..and he did even better. Both he and his office staff were professional yet very easy to communicate with. His fees were very reasonable and were all discussed up front. No extra fees as the case went on!!! If you need someone to negotiate your case with ADA's in Arapahoe County Courts...he is the one you should go to. He is an amazing lawyer!

I was facing an assault charge that very well could have jeopardized my freedom and reputation. I enlisted the services of Jeffrey Wolf of the Shazam Kianpour & Associaties Law firm. Jeff went right to work with talking with the D.A. and securing the best possible outcome for my situation. Jeff will walk you through every step,answer all of your questions and give you the best guidance given your particular case. Through out the entire process Jeff put my mind at ease and took a lot of the stress off of me. I would definitely recommend Jeffrey Wolf as appropriate legal counsel for any situation that you may be facing as he will work diligently for you and save your life. He saved mine and I could not be more thankful!
