Omar Habbas
Registered in San Jose, about fifty miles south — the furthest address of record on this page, and the one call in this batch worth arguing about. Two details on his record are worth seeing: the email of record is a hotmail address, and the website field reads habblaslaw.com, which is not his firm's domain.
The bar record
We read Omar Habbas in the State Bar of California’s licensee search. California publishes more history than most registers: a bar number, a dated status timeline, and administrative as well as disciplinary actions.
California is the one register that tells you it removes its own history. Above the status table, every record carries this: some administrative suspensions are subject to automatic removal from the attorney profile page pursuant to the State Bar’s policy on removal of administrative actions ... administrative suspensions that meet the criteria in that policy would not be displayed below.
Administrative suspensions are not discipline — they follow from things like unpaid fees or missed continuing education. But the sentence still means what it says. A timeline showing nothing is a timeline showing nothing that the State Bar currently displays, and we are not going to write “never suspended” when the register reserves the right to have taken an entry down. No other register on this site says this about itself.
And it does not check what the lawyer tells it. Where a record carries practice areas, the State Bar prints a warning next to them: it does not verify the accuracy of this content and makes no warranties regarding experience or competence in practice areas. Eleven of the twelve lawyers on our San Francisco page left that block empty altogether, so for most of them the register holds a name, a number, an address and a status — and nothing about what they actually do.
What the record shows
The website on his State Bar record reads habblaslaw.com. His firm is at habbaslaw.com. Two letters are transposed, so the register’s own link does not reach his practice. The email of record is a hotmail.com address rather than a firm one.Verified
Neither is misconduct — both fields are filled in by the lawyer — but they are a fair illustration of what a register can and cannot be relied on for. His name, number, admission date and status are the Bar’s. The way to contact him is not.Verified
His address of record is in San Jose, about fifty miles from San Francisco. That is further than any listing we have accepted before, and further than Melville in the New York batch. We are including him because Santa Clara County is part of the Bay Area on every common definition of it and his firm publishes a dedicated San Francisco page with its own 628 line — but the distance is on the card, not in a footnote.Verified
The register records the firm as Habbas, Nasseri & Associates; the site trades as Habbas & Associates.Verified
