She states her results with Mr. Alavi in her own words:

“I was the sole beneficiary of my grandfather’s trust who had passed away almost 20 years ago. I had not received any payments or distributions from the trustee, who was my uncle. I called Mr. Alavi when I could not get any information from anybody and I was not even able to find out where my uncle, the trustee, was living. Mr. Alavi tracked him down in Canada and served him with the lawsuit to finally get my inheritance paid to me. After two more years of work on my case, we were finally able to settle the case with results that I am very very happy about.
