Testimonials
“John Tycko “mopped the floor” with the opposing attorney. Tycko wheeled in–yes, had a dolley’s worth of legal documents–his argument compared to a manila folder of the opposing counsel. He was responsive to our needs and offered us the choices at all steps of our litigation. He worked incredibly hard for me and earned my lifelong trust.”

“I’ve known Hassan for nearly 25 years. He is one of the brightest and quickest people I’ve ever known. His ability to communicate is unparalleled and he has the uncanny ability to quickly hone in on the essential issue in a complex legal problem and articulate it to a layperson (or a jury) in understandable terms. He has great passion for his work, reverence for the profession of law, and an insatiable desire to learn everything he can about the subject matter of each case. He’s a fierce advocate who is always prepared to go to battle if needed, but also adept at creatively negotiating settlements with good outcomes for his clients. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

“From the time of my first meeting at the law firm of Tycko & Zavareei, I was truly impressed. I met with Jon Tycko and Lorenzo Cellini in the late summer of August of 2007 and, from that moment on they diligently proceeded with my case. At all times I felt as if I was the only client they were working with. Jon and his staff are truly professional and customer-friendly; the best I’ve ever experienced. Their “can do” and positive attitude regarding my case is what really got me through the tough hurdles that we encountered.
“I must admit that I did not believe much in our country’s justice system. But, after having the experience of working with Jon and Lorenzo, and the way they believed in me and my case, I must say that I was very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend the firm of Tycko and Zavareei to anyone.”

“I was initially referred to Hassan by his former colleagues at the firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. I had been apprehensive about moving forward with a lawsuit, as I was presently under much stress and lacked the time or energy to become embroiled in protracted, combative litigation. However, after several meetings with Hassan, I began to feel more confident about my case, and very comfortable with Hassan taking the lead.
As we developed our legal strategy and prepared for mediation, Hassan involved me in every aspect of the matter, keeping me apprised of each detail in a timely manner. He was willing to use every resource at his disposal to further strengthen our position. Perhaps most significantly, however, he listened to and valued my opinions, concerns and thoughts. I felt that we were very much working as a team, making decisions together.
During our mediation with the defendants, Hassan was persuasive, aggressive and creative, often resorting to non-legal arguments. Shortly thereafter, we settled the matter for a sum much larger than I ever would have anticipated. We did so without ever having to file a complaint, thereby avoiding the drudgery of litigation. From my perspective, the result was optimal in all respects. I am able to reflect on that process and on the outcome with complete satisfaction, knowing that my position was ultimately vindicated.
Today, Hassan remains a very dear and trusted friend. I have referred others to him on numerous occasions, and will continue to do so in the future.”
