Fantastic Lawyer

I am so thankful that I was referred to Sharif. Not only is he an expert in his profession, he is extremely compassionate and understanding of his clients feelings and needs. I was not just another case another case to him. He genuinely cared about me and the outcome of my case. He was extremely pers...onable, and easily accessible via phone/text/email. I would highly recommend Sharif, and am very grateful for his representation.

Highly Recommended, Excellent Lawyer

Sharif Abaza was referred to me by a co-worker and I am very grateful I reached out was given his name. Sharif did an excellent job for our grandson, who got into trouble multiple times in the span of this past year with drug related issues. I would highly recommend Sharif to anyone I know. Sharif i...s a warm and caring person, who helped our grandson feel good about himself, reassured him and helped him get through the legal maze he was caught up in. Sharif was responsive to calls, texts and emails, even when I reached out to him on vacation. Sharif was honest and upfront on what we could expect from beginning to end, and never failed to reassure when it was needed, without sugar coating anything. Thank you Sharif for helping us through this legal maze. I read the reviews already posted and can relate to each one. If your in trouble reach out to Sharif Abaza, he’s the best.

Sharif Abaza, your quick response to our call for help amazed me. You are a credit to your profession.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
