Parenting Issue

Although my parenting situation did not go as I expected, I have to honestly say the Law Office of Rajeh Saadeh fought for me. initially, I had a consult with Rajeh, and he prepped me for reasonable expectations. He explained the law and gave suggestions on what his firm could potentially do. Susan k...ept things organized, and Ayah was understanding, compassionate, and fought. In the end, the firm even provided additional options for me to pursue. I will definitely work with them again in the future.

Hiring This Person was a worse decision for me than marrying the first wife .

My wife and I retained Mr. Saadeh because what we heard Mr. Saadeh say to us, in the initial consultation, that he was able to enable me to prevail in motions that my former wife filed against me seeking additional money after our divorce. The terms of the retainer we entered into made no guarantees,... that is true, however what was verbally heard by the two of us from Mr. Saadeh, gave me assurance that established legal case law would enable him to "neutralize " my ex-wife's demands. When the ordeal was finished, this is not what happened. I lost in court. At the final court date, I was met by a junior lawyer employed by Mr. Saadeh whom I had never met or knew anything about, which was a complete surprise to me. Over the course of our lawyer-client relationship, which lasted about two years Mr. Saadeh experienced a churn of junior associates. Contrary to Mr. Saadeh's claim, that the actions ( arbitration) I took against him were unsuccessful, I was awarded a reduction in his legal fees by an arbitration committee. Not as much as I wanted, for I am not a lawyer and I did not understand how to craft the arbitration paperwork, however the part that I did craft correctly was ruled in my favor and his fee was in fact reduced. For Mr. Saadeh to say that I was unsuccessful is false. I consider the arbitration very successful for me considering that he is trained in law and I am not. My ex-spouse wrote to the arbitration committee, and she said in her letter that Mr. Saadeh is unscrupulous . That opinion is something that my ex-wife, my wife, and myself all agree on. I did no due diligence when I hired Mr. Saadeh. I deeply regretted failing to do so. I felt soon after giving him the retainer that he was not serving me as promised, but as I got in deeper with him and his legal fees, I was afraid to dismiss him and start over with a different lawyer. I feel that my legal matter was beyond his ability. I had a situation that was much more complicated than a real estate closing. Soon after Mr Saadeh received my retainer, I perceived his attitude towards me to become disrespectful and unconcerned. I learned over the course of time that despite the motivating initial assessment that I heard from Mr. Saadeh, my chances of winning in court were not good. I agree that I was wrong to trust Mr. Saadeh and not obtaining additional opinions, but in the beginning I truly did trust Mr. Saadeh. Despite the arbitration reduction, the legal hours charged to me by Mr. Saadeh were significant. The legal hours that he ultimately charged me were almost equal to one third of the amount I had to pay my ex-wife. I consider my hiring of Mr. Saadeh a nightmare, I would never hire him again.

This user hired the firm in a matter. After that matter concluded, this user hired the firm in ANOTHER matter. The second matter also concluded, and in 2019. The attorneys who primarily worked on this user's matters are no longer associated with the firm, and Mr. Saadeh did not primarily work on this user's matters. This user instituted multiple proceedings against the firm and Mr. Saadeh, and all of those proceedings were unsuccessful. If this user would like, this user remains welcome to contact the firm to resolve any issues this user still may have.

Great firm

Mr. Rajeh, Lindsay McKollip and Dana were more than great handling my divorce case. In the initial consultation, Mr. Rajeh made sure that I understand how things will go forward and what to expect. Lindsay was the one handling my case, she was professional yet friendly, she answered all my questio...ns (I ask alot), weekends, after hours, prompt reply to emails. She is very patient, knowledgeable and knows what is best for you. Dana is great, she was on top of everything when it comes to communication and documentation. What a wonderful team! Thank you all.

Great representation for real estate transactions!

The Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh, LLC represented me in the sale of my condo, and they were fantastic. The office was readily accessible by phone and email, were extremely meticulous and knowledgeable, and they answered all of my questions. I had used a different attorney when I purchased my condo, ...and that experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I was better about doing research this time around, and the Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh, LLC did not disappoint. I recommend using them for all of your real estate transactions.
