Community – Zolfaghari Law Firm

Community Resources and Events

The Zolfaghari Law Firm was established to advocate for the community. We don’t just say it like other firms; we mean it. Advocating does not always mean filing lawsuits, as sometimes our issues can be resolved outside the courtroom. Below are several links to city programs and departments to further help you with problems with your rental property living conditions or discrimination at your workplace. Also, information to help with matters such as domestic violence and immigration. We invite you to contact our office with any questions you may have about these programs and departments.
