Exceptional Legal Representation

I had the pleasure of working with Yusuf Abdul-Wahab Elashmawy regarding my nephews case. A case that was all over the news and could have easily put my nephew away for minimum 10 years. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. From the start, Yusef demonstrated exceptional professionalism..., deep legal knowledge, and a genuine concern for my nephews case. Communication was clear, timely, and thorough—Yusef always made sure I understood my options and what to expect at each stage. What truly stood out was his strategic thinking, attention to detail, negotiating skills, courtroom presence. Thanks to his hard work and dedication we reached a favorable settlement for my nephew of a y/o status and probation. I highly recommend Yusuf Abdul-Wahab Elashmawy to anyone seeking criminal defense experienced and reliable family law representation. You’ll be in capable and caring hands.

Nephew attorney

This man is amazing! He was very dedicated compassionate and informative. He was an attorney for my love one and did everything he could to make sure he was treated fairly and didn’t miss too much time away from our family. He kept in contact with my family even after justice was served. Yusuf is a p...henomenal attorney and even more as a person my family thank you and if ever anyone needs assisted he is and always will be our first choice.

Juvenile Arrest

After our 15 yo son was arrested on several felony charges, we were connected with Yusuf by a friend who has experience in the NYC juvenile justice system. Yusuf worked collaboratively with us, listened to our ideas, and supported us throughout this extremely stressful time. He was good at explain...ing all the steps of the process (several times) as the language and procedures were unfamiliar to us. He tried to minimize costs and charged a reasonable retainer. Working collaboratively, we were able to have a "best case scenario" outcome for our son. I highly recommend Yusuf.

Represented me well

Yusuf kept me informed about all parts of my case, followed up on all things that needed followed up and I received what I considered a best case scenario ending to my case, He was also fair in his billing and would trust again with a different case. My case dealt with the Bronx Criminal Courts.

Thank you

Yusuf Elashmawy, is a very professional, but compassionate lawyer, dedicated to His clients best interest. He has worked with me in a family/criminal court case, where he worked diligently for his client and family. He kept me informed on all aspects of the case and made sure I was made aware of any ...changes immediately. He is amazing at what he does and I would go to him first, if I were to ever need assistance again.
