Dedicated, passionate and amazing lawyer!

This review is long overdue. I hired Asaf over a year ago to take on both my criminal and family court cases as he has expertise in both of these fields. It was a very personal matter in which a relationship breakdown was involved, as well as a domestic violence incident. Not only did he act in a com...pletely professional manner, handling all facets of the case seamlessly and achieving positive end results, but he also was a close friend throughout the whole process and it was obvious just how much he cared. I never once regretted my decision to hire Asaf and I recommend that if you are looking for a lawyer who both cares and is extremely hard working and dedicated to his profession, I highly suggest that you take Asaf on board to handle your case.

Great lawyer, effective, honest and supporting

A friend of mine who is an inmigration lawyer recommended Asaf as a criminal lawyer for my son who was charged with various counts at the beginning of the year.I felt hopeless as I thought my son's future would be difficult because of the consequences that a conviction would bring for him.Fortunately..., Asaf helped my son in all the process being very proactive, effective and supporting him along the way.Asaf is a lawyer one can trust who is very professional, honest and that helps his clients with any situation because of his extensive experience. My son is back in college and working to fullfill his dreams.Thank you to Asaf we can say that the nightmare is over.

very pleased---a great choice for an attorney

Asaf is an attorney who truly cares about his clients, putting them first. He prepared a pre-nuptial agreement which was handled very professionally and to my complete satisfaction. He was patient with the process, and answered all my questions and addressed concerns. He was not satisfied until I w...as. I would heartily recommend him, and plan to use him again, when the need arises. Finally his rates are very fair, for the work performed.

Very helpful, professional, and supportive

Working with Asaf was an excellent experience for my family members and I. We came to Asaf in a period of crisis; a family member was dealing with emerging mental illness and had been arrested twice during an episode of psychosis. Asaf knew that my family member should not face criminal charges when ...his actions were due to his mental illness, and worked diligently to make sure that my family member walked away with a clean criminal record. Asaf achieved our desired outcome in that both cases were dismissed in a short matter of time, but what I appreciate even more was that Asaf recognized what this situation meant to our family. He was supportive of the fact that we were struggling with our family member's mental illness, and did his best to make sure that we could focus our energy on providing care to our family member, rather than worrying about the legal case. Asaf was easy to reach, immediately responsive to our questions, and genuinely supportive throughout the entire process. I am grateful to have had Asaf as our attorney during this situation because I knew that we were in capable hands.

Simply excellent!

Asaf represented me in a legal guardianship case. He was very helpful, highly professional, knowledgable and supportive. I also loved the fact that he was very timely in his responses to my questions and inquiries. I knew that if I sent him an email I would get an answer in a matter of hours - somet...imes right away. Very reliable. Thank you again Asaf!
