Our Attorneys

Sharif | Faust Lawyers, Ltd., is a growing boutique law firm in the heart of Downtown San Diego.  We help our clients find positive solutions to complex legal issues with practice areas ranging from business disputes to divorce proceedings and white-collar crime. Having prevailed at trial and arbitration on numerous occasions, we are confident in our ability to provide top-shelf litigation services to all of our clients; however, we also recognize the value of foresight, which is why we also provide a variety of other services specifically designed to prevent litigation by anticipating potential pitfalls, and working to correct them before the problems arise. “Preventative lawsuits” is what we call it. These services include, corporate formation, corporate dissolution, trademark applications, and other business planning strategies. Given our familiarity with litigation, we have a wealth of knowledge at our disposal to help clients avoid lawsuits by taking preventative steps to protect themselves and their assets. However, we also know that in order to have the best strategy in place, we will need the right team members to assist us on the roadmap to success.  We value and appreciate the value of collaboration and working closely with a network of highly skilled professionals. Rather, we will develop a master strategy to help you deal with your legal issues in the most efficient way possible.  Every case is unique, every relationship is a new experience, and many relationships go through the vicious cycle of honeymoon followed by divorce.  This is true for people and businesses alike, and sometimes this natural ebb and flow can permeate into several different areas of law. Many people start with noble objectives in mind, but later find themselves in the midst of divorce, dissolution, and bankruptcy. We are here to help you avoid those pitfalls, and if need be, to help you prevail. Contact us now to schedule a consultation. We look forward to hearing from you.

Ko is a fantastic attorney, colleague and friend. Ko has acted as my supervising attorney and co-counsel on several matters. What sets him apart from other attorneys is his compassion, dedication and ability to be detail-oriented as well as ``big picture`` when it comes to a legal issue. It is extremely rare to find all of these traits in any individual, let alone an attorney. Ko also has the unique ability to be an incredibly fierce advocate while always remaining professional. I have also never seen Ko shy away from a big fight or a very convoluted case like many attorneys will. He is always up for a challenge. He is a pleasure to work with and I would feel confident sending any of my clients to him with their legal matters.

I have had the pleasure to work with Mr. Sharif on more than one occasion and on different legal matters. He is also a good friend. Mr. Sharif is one of the most tenacious attorneys that I know. He is painstakingly thorough in preparing and taking cases through trial, and in one particular case after judgment in which we collected a large recovery I recall he would leave no stone unturned in pursuing the judgment debtor and was a tough negotiator. Mr. Sharif fights hard for clients when he believes in their case and will not take a case unless he is confident he can be totally committed physically, mentally, and morally. I would feel comfortable entrusting a personal matter to Mr. Sharif.
