Honest & Professional Lawyer that knows what he’s doing
Excellent lawyer was very helpful and patient throughout the entire process. Honest and well experienced, the only lawyer that was willing to take my case and we won! Definitely calling him back again and recommending him to everyone I know!
I had an issue with my previous landlord in where he would not give me back my security deposit. We had agreed that the house was left in good condition and that he should be returning the entire security deposit. I tried countless times to contact the landlord with no success. I then decided to reach out to avvo and have an attorney handle this matter. Avvo suggested working with Hikmat. I reached out to Hikmat via email and he later called me to confirm an appointment in the following days. I briefly explained the matter over the phone and told him I would bring the documents to his office during our appointment. The following week I went to his office which was very conveniently located in Montclair with a private conference room so we can go over the physical documents I provided. Hikmat was very professional and was listening to all of my concerns in regards to this matter. He was very understanding and assured me he will do all in his power to reach out the landlord and have him provide us with the security deposit in which I was entitled to. As the days went on, Hikmat followed up with me about once a week and on the third week, he called to follow up and also confirm that he had received the security deposit check. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family in the future.

Excellent and professional service
I needed a NDA (non-disclosure agreement) between a client and my business. After a little searching I foune and reached out to Hikmat who was more than happy to work with me. What was extremely helpful was that before even meeting me and my client, he conducted a phone consult first before we met to get all the information for the NDA, on top of that since the clients schedule couldn't meet with his office hours, he was nice enough to meet all of us at my office to do the signing and notarized the documents. I would definitely recommend Hikmat for any legal services you may need.

DEBT SETTLED!
Hikmat was able to cut my debt almost in half. This loan company was ruthless. Hikmat's office handled all of the phone calls, e-mails, and letters from the company. We finally agreed to a payment plan and protected my credit rating. Thanks!

Made a complicated home purchase easy
Hikmat was able to close on a house we fell in love with. There were some issues with the house and title that needed to be to handled and they were. We thought we were going to lose the house of our dreams, but Hikmat made the closing happen.
I just wish the closing happened faster.

Speeding ticket
Hikmat was really supportive and helpful when I got my ticket. It was high points and I could've lost my license so I had to find a lawyer. He was patient and chill over the phone and was great talking to the prosecutor and the judge.
