Nadia Kahf

I was unaware of this site while looking for an attorney, and I'm writing this to help someone else who may find themselves not knowing where to turn. We never needed an attorney before, except for a closing. This was a criminal matter and I really should have done more research. We hired Nadia Kahf ...and she was often late or kept us waiting at the courthouse, once to the point where it had to be postponed and we were forced to come back another day. She later charged us for another appearance which was totally HER fault. Do yourself a favor and keep looking, I'm sure you can find someone who cares about more than her bank account.

She kept me waiting for her "quick response" for two months after I emailed and called her many times. Then she said she got nothing, even though she knew I was cornered in time. Two people I know lost money and time with Nadia because of her wrong information and BIG lack of knowledge and experie...nce. She's the most careless"attorney" you could ever hire or even think of. Among all the layers I worked with, she was the WORST!

This person is uncommunicative and most unprofessional in her dealings with clientele. Others, I've come to learn, have had the exact same issues. She has failed to provide a single copy of any court documents, ignores questions entirely via email (since she's incredibly hard to reach over the phone... - I was always told that she was in court, whenever I called, so I would have to ask questions via email), and doesn't bother calling back, even for calls marked urgent! It was a stressful process from the start, with initially having to deal with an extremely rude, condescending and inefficient paralegal. Both attorney & paralegal messed up with having my husband served twice, on a weekday, when I specified to both the exact times he'd be available. On top of it all, I was shocked to be billed an exorbitant amount (she does not send monthly invoices, unless specifically asked), for which she's really shown me nothing, and possibly charging me unethically for services she hadn't rendered (eg., answering concerns, if at all, in a timely manner). Most of this attorney's clientele appear to be referred to her by word of mouth; these are vulnerable women, many not with much education under their belts, and already in a huge state of distress to begin with. I'm painstakingly taking time out to write this review so others do not fall victim to this person's unprofessionalism and questionable ethics. I sincerely hope people thoroughly do their research online before hiring their divorce attorney. This in itself is an emotional journey, and if you feel like you can't trust your own attorney, who is supposed to advocate for your rights, then it surely is a travesty. So please do your research!
