Consultation and Assistance

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.

2nd degree charges with 5-10 minimum BUT reduced to PTI !!!

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.

4th dwi

I met Jerry Elashmawy sometime in April 2017 to represent me for my complicated DWI case. My decision to work with this attorney among the letters I received from various attorneys, was the best decision I ever took in recent times. In total, I had 9 tickets from DUI to Reckless Driving. After 4 cour...t appearances with Mr. Elashmawy and several orders by him my DUI was dropped and 5 other charges dismissed. Words can not describe the heavy sigh of relief when the judge pronounced his judgement and handed me a fine penalty, thereby saving me a 6-month jail term. I will always recommend Attorney Jerry Elashmawy anytime, for a job well done, his considerate legal fees and his attitude of keeping in touch with his clients. PROFESSIONALISM AT IT'S BEST! Thank you Jerry.

Disorderly Persons

I thought Jerry was a great man from the start. I connected with him and he understood my point of view. He really took his time to care about me, as well as my case. I've never had to deal with legal stuff like this, but I feel like Jerry stands out from other lawyers, in that, he gets to know you p...ersonally. Him and I talked about our past days of playing baseball, as well as bowling. I feel like other lawyers just want to get to the point and be done with you but with Jerry, that was not the case. I had a two-count paraphernalia charge along with a headlight ticket. He was able to put me in a diversionary program and get the headlight ticket along with one of the paraphernalia charges dropped completely. I was supposed to lose my license for up to 6 months and a fine of up to $1,000, but that did not happen. Jerry handled everything. At first I was freaking out but he told me everything was going to be okay, and it ended up being just that. If you need a lawyer for a criminal charge like this, I highly suggest you hire this man.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
