This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Incredible Professional! Lawyer & Engineer!

Mr. Siddiqui is one of the most dedicated and trustworthy people I have had the honor of meeting. He took time out of his incredibly busy schedule to mentor and advise me on some important life decisions upon graduating college. Not many people can endure years of engineering and then complete law sc...hool. His engineering background combined with his passion for law makes him an incredible professional! I highly recommend Mr. Siddiqui to anyone who plans on working with him in the future!

A GREAT SUPER-LAWYER!

Omar's had my legal back WELL-covered since 2005 as I developed my on-line business, e-zine, and other writings. A brilliant and creative thinker as well as as a Super-Lawyer, he's educated me, kept me within my First Amendment rights, and provided excellent advice and legal service. Once when I was ...arguing against his advice he so skillfully, gently and so respectfully argued his point until I realized he was RIGHT that all I can say is I'm GLAD he's MY attorney! Besides that--he's what we rarely expect a Super-Lawyer to be: a really kind and great guy :)

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
