Jerry deserves 100+ Stars!

Mr Jerry Elashmawy deserves way more than 5 Stars. I cannot begin to explain my fear of being in a situation I have never faced before. I was extremely unsure and stressed about the potential outcome, however from the start he treated me as a human being. It wasn't about money, it was about respec...t, compassion and decency. At the time when everything happened, I was facing a lot and trying to get my family to a safer location to live, he actually did a payment plan which HELPED financially since we had just gotten approved for a safe, new apartment for us and our kids. He went above and beyond to make sure everything would be dismissed and having the UTMOST patience. He had no issues even communicating with my husband, especially with my anxiety. On top of handling everything as private as possible, even on the day of court. He walked me through everything, he spoke to me and handle everything with care, he went above and beyond to understand my family dynamics. I have never had to hire a lawyer, there were many options but I just felt when I prayed to hire him, and I thank GOD for direction! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! HIGHLY recommended!!! God bless!! PS-I am EXTREMELY antisocial and everything was handle professionally via texts, calls and emails! I am forever THANKFUL!

The Best Criminal Attorney

The first time in my life i had to hire an Attorney Jerry Elashmawy. My friend filed a criminal and civil complaint against me , I was arrested and spent few days in jail. Jerry helped me to navigate my release from Jail . Jerry informed me that my case is somewhat complicated and that he will tr...y to help me to prove my Innocence. I was also in danger to be deported from the Country if he would not be able to succeed. He took both of my cases to trial and was so effective in his testimony that you can probably see that kind of performance only in the movies . Both of the cases where dismissed against me . If you looking for a Criminal Attorney that will get the job done and not going to give up on you, You need Jerry Elashmawy . Jerry is not just a Criminal lawyer he is a Trial Criminal Lawyer. Thank You Jerry for Saving my life .

Great Attorney

Jerry is by far the best lawyer I have ever worked with. His attention to detail, preparedness and professionalism are all best in class. I would highly recommend Jerry to any prospective client. He’s a great attorney and also a great guy.

The Right Man to Have in Your Corner!

I will always be grateful for the work Jerry did for me. I had 2 cases that seemed hopeless and impossible. I am a DV survivor and when I left my abuser I was terrifed. My ex-husband retaliated & tried to attack me through the courts. My world was falling apart. Jerry was literally God send. He... did not play games or make unrealistic promises. He was honest and did not try to take advantage of me or my situation. With his extraordinary negotiation skills and expertise, he was able not only to bring peace of mind but also justice to my cases. Jerry is strategic, direct and fair. He is the person you want in your corner. It was quite clear that he is very knowledgeable on law and that his work is much respected among his peers. I can with complete confidence say that hiring Mr. Elashmawy is an investment in yourself.
