Best Lawyer

I used Shokry for a home purchase and he is the best. He helped me every step throughtout the home buying process. He called me to give me an update frequently and also provided advice on matter unrelated to legal. I would recommend him to a friend.

The most caring and compassionate attorney that will fight for your rights!

Shokry Abdelsayed represented me in a divorce case. He made me feel at ease from our first meeting. I came into his office as a wreck: I was anxious and devastated by the events happening in my personal life. At that time I felt as my world collapsed, and my life was over. However, by the end of ...our first meeting he made me feel at ease. Shokry was very friendly and attentive. He listened to me and made me feel like he has all the time I needed to express myself. He never rushed me out or cut me off. He was always professional, caring and compassionate. Due to my tight work schedule, he was available to meet me on Saturdays, which was not his business day. Also, he was always available and easily reachable by phone, text, and email. Shokry knew what I wanted to receive for my children from my ex-husband and made it happen today after long negotiations. He was persistent and fought for my interest when I almost gave up. I am happy to say that he made this difficult experience in my life more tolerable and gave me hope I needed at the beginning of this journey and was with me during this journey each step of the way. I hope I will never need a help of an attorney again, but if I do, or anyone I know will need a legal advise, I will always refer them to Shokry Abdelsayed.

Best Lawyer in NJ!

I had a Tenant/Landlord case that I called Shokry for. Without hesitation Shokry agreed to take on my case. I was extremely impressed at how knowledageble he was regarding all the laws and regulations regarding this matter. He gave me his opinion and we decided to pursue this case. We went to tri...al and I was highly impressed at everything Shokry did during the trial. He was professional, knowledgeable, and did his homework. I have always felt that you can determine how strong of a lawyer you have just by listenening to his closing argument. Shokry's closing argument during the trial left the judge speechless and she had no choice but to agree with him although the opposing lawyer also made a strong argument. Evidently, we won the case at a higher settlement than we requested. Shokry did a splendid job and I will refer him to all my collegues!

EXCELLENT LAWYER FOR CRIMINAL CASES!

I used Mr. Abdelsayed's services in two different cases since 2012. Once it was for the removal of the Restraining Order, and second one was for the criminal charges. I was very satisfied with his representation of both of my cases, because I am a highly educated individual and the arrest was simply ...a fluke. Therefore, Mr. Abdelsayed was able to obtain the exact outcome and justice that I deserved -- the Judged removed the restraining order and the charges were dismissed. There was nothing better than having such tremendous support from an honest lawyer as Mr. Abdelsayed.

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.
