About Arash
Arash Zarei maintains a practice that spans two neighboring jurisdictions. He is a member of both the Maryland State Bar and the District of Columbia Bar. Those memberships are part of the foundation that shapes the day-to-day work he does for clients in the mid-Atlantic.
He trained in the law and then moved into practice across Maryland and Washington, D.C. Early steps in his career included navigating the differing procedural rules and local court practices that separate the two jurisdictions. Over time he built a caseload that required familiarity with both state and local systems, and an ability to switch between them depending on where a matter is filed.
Zarei’s work often involves managing practical courtroom requirements and client expectations across state and district lines. He routinely prepares filings that must meet the distinct deadlines and formatting rules of Maryland courts as well as those of the D.C. bar. That practical side of practice—knowing where to file, which rules to follow, and how to present a matter to a particular bench—shapes much of his daily work.
Membership in professional bars is among his visible credentials. He holds current membership in the Maryland State Bar and in the District of Columbia Bar. He also belongs to other professional associations relevant to his practice, maintaining active engagement with colleagues and local legal communities where he practices.
At the firm level, Zarei practices at Paragon Law Office, PLLC. There he handles matters that arise under the rules and precedent of Maryland and the District of Columbia, adjusting strategy to the forum and procedural posture of each case. His approach emphasizes attention to local practice and responsiveness to procedural deadlines. He works on filings, client counseling, and court appearances as required by each matter’s needs.
Colleagues describe him as steady in litigation settings and careful in preparation, habits that reflect the practical demands of cross-jurisdictional practice. His professional life is rooted in the routine tasks that keep a case moving forward: researching, drafting, and appearing where necessary. He currently practices at Paragon Law Office, PLLC, handling matters in both Maryland and the District of Columbia.
