Rajeh accepted my retainer after a consultation. However, his firm was unable to deliver the draft of our response to the court until the late afternoon of the court deadline filing date. I was strung along for weeks that I will be able to read my court response to post-divorce matter soon, always so...on... As a result of their untimely work and need to rush to sign on my end, the response was submitted with a mistake-but it was too late. Also since their office location is a shared open work area, it was inconvenient to meet with any personnel as an appointment needed to be made well in advance so that the lawyer could travel in to use an office room to meet. Did they complete the task? You can say yes, however I would not recommend this firm.

I hired this firm in January 23 2024. Ended up with a wonderful attorney. Paid my retainers. On 04/01/2024 I receive a message that my attorney is No Longer with the Firm. I decided to stay with my attorney. On 04/05/2024, The Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh filed a motion in the family court, this deb...t was 2 months old and I had already paid $5000 in retainer fees. On 05/13/2024, The Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh filed a Civil Suit!!! Give me a break! They were paid 5K already and could easily obtain the charging lien for the divorce settlement. A little too much, too soon, not to mention I had to ask 3 times to have duplicate charges removed from an invoice. Total balance is around $7500, but now they also are adding legal fees for the motion and the law suit. Maybe they should worry about getting new customers instead of trying to jack up old customer's bills. Unreal!!!

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.
