What families say

Family member’s case

“Rabin, the “God Sent”, is my first experience of lawyer hiring for criminal legal matter. My first encounter with him was April 2025 at 3pm on a Friday. He briefly listened to my version of my son’s case (which comes out not 100% true) at that time and then he followed up a call to me at 10pm the same day due to the severity nature of the case. From that moment on, I knew he definitely the right person for my son’s case. His experiences and backgrounds were outstanding without a doubt as anyone can read about it. But his character, professionalism, and mindset toward his work and client probably above and beyond most of his colleagues. He has handled my son’s case for over 1 year and finally get the case dismissed. During this long 1 year of time (on a father’s time scale), Rabin always give us a voice or text of comfort even at 10pm on a Saturday or 8am on a Sunday. (Not promoting). Sometime he would give you a firm NO or stop what you are trying to say or think and you may think he doesn’t want to listen to you. But these firm feedback is what it takes to win cases. He is always on our side and our benefit is what he is chasing for. Anyway, millions thanks to him and his team.”

Family member’s case

“We were in a real pickle when our Daughter had very serious legal trouble all the way across the country. Summit defence was there for us. They came very highly reccomended by a friend of a friend. Our Lawyer was totally accessible and was a great support for her and our whole family! Thank you Rabin and Summit defense!”

Family member’s case

“Rabin took my call at 8 am his time while he was driving to court (I called from across the country) and within hours he was in the court hearing and got my brother-in-law released from jail without bail! The case is just starting but already I know he’s in great hands. The fee quoted was completely reasonable and fair and the office was super about getting the paperwork done ASAP so Rabin could be there to represent my brother-in-law. The family thanks you!”

Jerry C.

Family member’s case

“Attorney Ross Pytlik’s legal knowledge, sensitivity, ethics, and courtroom skills are truly the “best-of-the-best”. Ross was prompt returning our calls, and thorough explaining the legal implications of a family situation. Ross developed, explained and implemented a very skillful legal strategy that was successful, and provided an opportunity for a second chance toward a productive life. Attorney Pytlik’s work literally changed our lives, and we are forever grateful to Mr. Pytlik.”

Rabin Nabizadeh is my lion!  Sitting in that cell hearing him passionately argue for bail, I was so relieved my husband hired him.  At the end, I got a misdemeanor.  Thank you Rabin for saving my family.
