Truly amazing attorney!

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 wer...e currently fighting for my DACA status that was being revoked. He’s passionate and incredibly brilliant. Hire him while you can!

THANK GOD FOR THIS MAN!!!

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.

Great Attorney

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 h...im

Hopeless

I hired Ismail Mohammod for 2 cases a Federal and Immigration case (For my husband) .First off, He is very hard to get a hold of. Misses deadlines when papers need to be filed. (Files them late) There's about 3 times i went to court and he could not make it, (calls the court clerk while everyone is... waiting on him ) ,one time he just didnt should up at all had the Judge, D.A and my family just wasting time. ( so embarrassing! ) Says he's going to visit my Husband and could not make it ( more than 10 times) After Attorney was not showing up to court my husband was so drained and hopeless he just wanted to take a plead and get this over with. There was no way this lawyer can win a trial. Than my attorney ends up losing his license getting suspended for four months. He says he's going to issue me a refund for the immigration case. Went from a refund from $4,000 then he saying that he doesn't owe me nothing, then he saying he will work with me and give me about $1,500 then he doesn't pick up my phone calls and sends me no check. NOPE , sorry! I contacted Massachusetts Bar Association filed a complaint waiting on hearing.

Calm and Collective, Reliable and Affordable.

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.
