I am a client focused attorney licensed to practice law in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I am an advocate, counselor and defender for my clients and I work to achieve the best results for the individuals who entrust their case in my hands. I began my legal career in New Jersey where I served as a Deputy Attorney General for several years; specializing in the area of child protection. After moving to the D.C. metro area I continued my legal career in Washington, D.C. where I worked on large scale litigation matters for various law firms in the city. My current focus is to use my passion, skill and experience to provide the people of Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia with focused quality legal representation in the areas of family law, criminal defense and business law.

"When I called Ms. Pervaiz I was in a very bad spot. I had kids at home to take care and a very demanding job. I needed a lawyer who would take care of everything without me having to worry. Ms. Pervaiz and her team were amazing. Ms Fayrouz worked very hard on my case and I could not have asked for better results . She always kept me up to date and always steered the case in the right direction. The whole team was always very responsive and available to anwser any questions by a phone call or their secured client portal which also made everything so much easier. Pervaiz and Harley were great, i can not thank them enough."

"I originally booked a consultation last year with Pervaiz to discuss my options since I was going through divorce. I didn't have enough info for her during my 1 hour consultation so she cut my session short. So I ended up having a credit for 150$ from the 300$ hour consultation. After I finalized my divorce amicably with my ex, I decided to reach out to schedule a consultation to write a Will. No Money was collected for this appointment, I just reminded them I had the credit still in my account and they confirmed. I called and emailed the day of my appointment to let them know I had a 103 fever and that I was very sick and I am not able to discuss anything related to a "Will". I mean how could you? With a high fever!! This is a serious topic and you need you full brain capacity to do so!! Pervaiz refused to reschedule my appointment and they told me if I do not call at my appointment time that they will not allow me to reschedule. I was diagnosed with the flu and pneumonia and they can clearly tell I am not making my sickness up from the way I was coughing. I offered to send a doctor's note however she just decided to take the credit I have left with them instead of being empathetic with my situation! This clearly shows you that she doesn't care about people! And she just knew I had a credit and took it! Sickness happens and this unpredictable. I will not recommend her to anyone especially after what happened to me!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Saba Pervaiz this past year. At every juncture, she was professional, knowledgeable and also very personable, which made me feel at ease during a very stressful time. Ms. Pervaiz allowed me to handle things my own way without feeling pressure or judgment. She also took into consideration my specific concerns and helped design a plan that would work best for me. At no time did I feel taken advantage of, or as if I didn’t matter. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an honest and trustworthy attorney."

"Attorney Pervaiz represented me during an incredibly stressful time of my life. She was supportive and professional. I always felt informed of my options and my next steps to expect. The entire staff was efficient. Very thankful for her and her team during this time."
