These guys are relentless!!!!!!!

My son got into some pretty serious trouble. I called and set up a meeting and saw Steve first. We laid out a plan of attack which he approved. It turns out the SF court system is really really slow. After almost a year we finally saw the judge but every court date we had Summit was there with us. They got my son into the young adult court which is he has almost completed and once complete all charges will be dropped to a lessor charge if not dropped all together. They also handled an issue in Santa Rosa for us at the original price quoted.

Although we were passed from one lawyer to another each time the attorney was well versed in his case and didn't miss a step.

It will be almost 2 years working on this case and they have never asked for more money.

If you don't call these guys first and talk to them your making a BIG BIG mistake. I hope to never have to call them again but if i need a lawyer I know who I am calling without a doubt.

Summit family thank you so much for the guidance, support and effort you put into helping my son.

I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Great attorney all around. Rabin kept me in the loop throughout the whole process and was very quick to respond to my inquiries. I went into this case expecting a misdemeanor and they ended up getting the case dismissed. Very happy with my experience and I want to thanks everyone at Summit defense again for their service.

I heard about Rabin Nabizadeh Summet Defense through a Court appointed Alcohol program that the San Francisco Courthouse referred me to. They told me if I wanted an attorney who knew the system and knew how to talk to judges and prosecutors then Rabin was the attorney to call and boy was she right. Thank goodness I called him. I walked into their offices (At 580 California St) by the way - ha ha and didn't even have to wait more than a few minutes. His assistant brought me to his office and he explained the whole process to me. He assured me that if I followed all the procedures that I would be fine and he was right. I am forever grateful that I listened to that lady who sent me to Rabin. I surely will be referring all my friends to him. The silver lining to my DUI is that I met Rabin and me made an awful experience not so bad!

Very happy with my experience at Summit Defense. Rabin is an excellent and experienced lawyer who really helped me turn around what could've been a chaotic situation into a dismissed case. He was quick to pick up the phone whenever I called, and gave me and my family a reasonable rate. Grateful that there are still lawyers with integrity and pride for their work. Thanks again Rabin.

Have to give it up to the attorneys at Summit Defense. Knew I was in good hands from the initial consultation.
I was informed of the game plan every step of the way and they really followed through on what they told me they could accomplish.
Great group of professionals and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Absolutely brilliant.

From the moment I picked up the phone and exchanged just a few words with Rabin, I knew I could immediately trust him. I've never dealt with the legal system prior to this and felt extremely distraught and helpless prior to the call. I spoke with Rabin and he put me at great ease and comforted me. It is undoubtedly obvious that Rabin cares deeply about every client and potential client he interacts with. He took time out of his busy schedule to talk to me, listen to my case and present me with how these types of cases typically pan out. He also without hesitation, referred me to an immigration attorney for any questions on that front. Rabin unquestionably has an ample amount of experience working with past cases and is someone you can immediately trust not only for his in-depth knowledge but also his personable nature.

What a relief it has been to find Summit Defense. After weeks of phone consultations and disappointing experiences with other attorneys, I was referred to and eventually choose Rabin to represent me. He was there for me from beginning to end and always followed up any concerns and requests. I highly recommend this firm and I’m thankful for the pride in their work!

Can't say enough good things about this firm! Steve Davidson and Rabin Nabizadeh handled my case efficiently and delivered as promised. These guys are relentless.

I was arrested for domestic battery. Steve Davidson was able to get the case dismissed before the case was even charged. A few weeks later, I received a notice from my professional licensing agency requesting information regarding my arrest. I called Summit Defense again and was put in touch with Rubin who drafted a response within a couple of hours. I was lucky to find Summit Defense and would recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.

With no experience with lawyers, I called Rabin with some trepidation - we had a brief conversation on the phone - he was very professional and explained how he could help with the case and what it would cost to engage Summit. The best thing I heard on this call - if he represented me I wouldn't have to appear in person - I live in the East Bay and appearing in Santa Clara would take a whole working day!

Right after the call he sent me an email providing very specific instructions on what I needed to do ask for a court trial date and some other details relevant to the case. I followed the instructions to get the court date and closer to the court date, I sent him another email with the details of the incident. That's it - that's all I needed to do!

The day prior to the court date Rabin called me to explain how things would go down and managed my expectations. Summit appeared on my behalf - got them to downgrade my ticket to a 'non-point infraction' and reduced the fine by half!!

One more thing - I loved that Rabin was open to correspond by phone, email or text - whatever worked for me. I am really happy with what Rabin and Summit Defense did for me and would recommend them to anyone.

After moving to the San Francisco Bay Area from North Carolina, I found myself in a Kafkaesque situation with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. It was absolutely not communicating with the NC DMV. After determining that it was impossible for me to navigate this nightmare alone, I contacted Summit Defense Attorneys on recommendation from a friend. From the beginning, the firm was quick with solutions and always available by phone or text. I was finally able to get through the bureaucratic mess, but I couldn't have done it without Summit. Highly recommended.

Dealing with the criminal court system sucks. I had a sketchy feeling about having a public defender represent me so I decided to hire a criminal defense attorney. I did some research and found myself at Summit Defense. Before I decided on calling them I looked up their reviews and thought they might be too good to be true, but since I heard their name more than once when I asked around for referrals I decided it might be worth a shot. Glad I made that decision. Their staff did an incredible job. They made sure that I was treated fairly and didn't back down when the DA tried getting pushy. All in all I had a good experience and been recommending these guys ever since. They really know what they're doing.

Had a great experience with the team at Summit Defense!

While the circumstances of how I became in need of legal representation was something I would not have ideally wished for I'm happy with the result. I was unsure of how to start my search to find a decent attorney so I took to the internet and started there. Read the reviews about this firm and people seemed to be pretty pleased with their work. So I got on the phone with their office and from there all things went smoothly.

Their attorneys are easily accessible (phone, email, cell, text, face-to-face). If I had any questions or concerns and had to leave a message they never had me waiting too long for an answer. They were reliable and appeared with me at every court appearance or on my behalf for me when I couldn't be there myself. Every encounter I had with them put my anxieties about my situation at ease since I knew I had such an incredible firm backing me up. I never had to felt alone in my struggle. They were always there for me.

I am truly grateful to the people at Summit Defense. Thank you!

I am truly grateful for Summit Defense and all that they did to clear my name during a very bad situation in my life. Rabin treated me like a person and took care of everything. If you are ever caught in a legal situation and you need good representation I would strongly recommend Rabin. He is personable, fair, honest and his only goal is to clear your name. The system is scary and you can quickly get lost in the shuffle. You need lawyers like Rabin on your side.

Receiving a referral to Summit Defense was the best thing that happened to me while dealing with one of the worst situations of my life.

I had an unfortunate experience in hiring an attorney from another San Francisco based law firm that could not compare to the service I received with Summit. I was feeling very hopeless when I first met Rabin Nabizadeh, but he changed all that. He gave me the comfort and security I had been seeking from a good attorney.

The case I had been facing was daunting and dragged on for years. Rabin was there for me every step of the way. I never felt like the attention he gave to my case was ever lacking. He ensured that I understood and was aware of all my options and possible outcomes. His honest upfront approach aided me in making the best choices for myself.

Throughout the years that Rabin had represented me there was only one instance in which he had an associate appear on his behalf. His name was Collin Moore. He too gave me the same level of professionalism and respect that was set before him with Rabin.

If ever a loved one or myself (God forbid it) were need of legal representation I would without hesitation call or refer Summit Defense. They are definitely a firm you would want on your team.

Rabin Nabizadeh was helpful and kept good communication. 4 stars only because charges weren't entirely dismissed. I did however have to go through the Pleasanton Court system which is known for it's discipline.
