Review Jerry Elashmawy

Jerry deserves 100+ Stars!

5.0 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 respect, 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 try 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 .

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.

Mr. Elashmawy was very helpful and honest with me when explaining the possible outcome of my situation he did not hold back he did everything he explained he was going to do, he made sure he updated me of what the police officers were trying to contact me for. He also indicated that he will handle my legal services if the police continued to try to interrogate me. even though no charges were pending against me he made sure i was well aware of everything that was going on and that he will take care of everything for me. and he did as such.

Having not only employed council but also having worked with attorneys in the past, I can guarantee you Jerry is the most professional, caring, and attentive attorney I have worked with. I had a really serious motor vehicle charge that could've changed my life and record forever. Jerry and one of his associates, Mike, fought really hard during multiple court appearances to ensure the best possible outcome given my circumstances. My case was months long process that can drive any sane person to the brink of insanity, but with Jerry and Mike's advice and presence I felt secure that everything would turn out okay. And thanks to their hard work, expertise in the field and diligence I couldn't have gotten a better outcome! No points or serious charges on my record!! They even traveled two counties away which I am so appreciative of! Highly recommend you pick up the phone and call Jerry! Even if you call the office, most of the time he's the one that picks up the phone! Amazing experience with Jerry and Mike and will be recommending their services far into the future!

I went online desperately in need of a lawyer to help me with my shoplifting charge - I made a stupid mistake. AVVO directed me to Jerry, within minutes, he called me and we spoke, I was crying hysterically and he assured me everything would be OK. I consulted him and then hired him to be my lawyer. He helped me and the outcome of my case was GOOD! He's a professional.

Jerry worked miracles on my case. He never gave up although the case took nearly a year to resolve. He was very direct and thorough regarding what to expect. He never gave any promises besides working his hardest for the best outcome. He discussed options and his plans throughout. He is not a lawyer that plays games. He gets along with the opponent, Prosecutor offices and such. Also, his prices are reasonable. Overall just a great lawyer and a great guy. I highly recommend him for any future legal matters.

I've known Elashmawy for many years and can easily say he is knowledgeable and well versed in the law. On several occasions I have come to him with questions involving my own practice and he is always ready with on point information that comes from his wealth of experience in and out of the courtroom. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a top notch lawyer.
