I contacted Ismail through the recommendation from a friend to stop my deportation proceedings back in September. I was truly terrified and thought my life here in the US was soon to be over. Ismail kneW of some procedural error that USCBP made with my case and was able to halt my deportation and were currently fighting for my DACA status that was being revoked. He’s passionate and incredibly brilliant. Hire him while you can!

I don’t think I can find words to describe how grateful I am to Ismail. I had made some poor decisions to hold some illegal substances for a friend and ultimately was caught and charged with both Posession Class B and Class B with intent. Based on bad decisions I made when I was younger I was facing serious time in the House of Corrections. The DA tried to offer me a plea deal which without Attorney Mohammed I would have stupidly taken. Ismail kneW EXACTLY what he was doing and told me we would take it to trial. He is by far the best attorney I have seen in a court room. It’s like something you would see out if a movie the passion he has and the way he knows the law. Long story short I BEAT MY CASE and am a free man. He also helped me get a new job and since then I’ve been living on the straight and narrow. Ismail if you’re reading this I really don’t know what I would do without you. I love you man! Ismail is the best attorney that has ever stepped in a court room.

I would recommend Attorney Mohammed anytime. He took the time to speak with me and my family about my case. He was thorough about the case and did everything he said he would. He was easy to contact. If he couldn't speak, he would text me and let me know he'll call me back. I would highly recommend him

He put his best into his work and make sure his clients are satisfied. Something my previous hired attorney failed to accomplished that cost me a lot more than Attoney Ismail Mohammed charged and came with victory. I highly recommend him and believe he will bring you victory.

Ismail helped me beat a case that was a false accusation against me. He knew what he was doing, but still listened and respected my wants based on the case. Ismail always got back to me when I had questions and always returned my calls. The judge gave the option of continuous without a finding but he protected my cori and wants and asked for trial. Trial date was today, case dismissed! I would recommend Ismail to people.

Attorney Mohammed represented me in a felony case in Medford court in 2011. He did a great job & won the case in trial. Although I was ready to plead guilty so long as I could get probation to avoid taking the chance of going to trial, Mr. Mohammed was confident that he would win the case in trial. However, the district attorney agreed to dismiss the case if I paid restitution within 3 months, I agreed. But, I could not pay the restitution after 3 months. So, when I went to court that day, I had to go to trial that day. per the judge's order. Although attorney Mohammed had not fully prepared for trial, he still won the case in trial before the jury of 12 that day. I could have gone to jail for 2 years that day. But, thanks to his great performance at trial, the charge was dismissed He is honest, knowledgable and made me feel comfortable by his side in court throgh the entire proceedings. Unlike many attorneys, he kept me informed at all times. I highly recommend him.
