Excellent lawyer

Mr Elashmawy has a ton of integrity and I would recommend him to anyone. My court case was ongoing and complicated involving child custody that another lawyer couldn’t resolve. I hired Mr Elashmawy to take over and he almost immediately turned it around for me and my family. He was practical, efficie...nt, smart, honest and really patient. More importantly he really cared about what was best for my child. He had the stamina and experience to navigate a very tough court system and he was great at getting the terms settled so the matter could finally be resolved for good.. Because of him, I don’t have to spend years, or my life savings, going back to court. I strongly recommend him without hesitation.

5 star Lawyer

Yusuf is a consummate professional but is also a very caring person, who you feel is in your corner - beyond his role as your hired lawyer. He is very articulate and highly knowledgeable of both the law and the court system. In a nut shell there is very good reason why Yusuf is receiving all these... 5 star reviews - my own included.

El Ashmawy Provides Excellent Legal Services

Mr. El Ashmawy represented my wife both at the family Court and before ALJ. His knowledge of the law and professionalism is at the peak. He was able to get my wife the justice she deserved and cleared my wife's name. I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone in need of robust legal representati...on.

A Humble American who Served Our Country Honorably in the Military and Continues to Exemplifies those values in the Legal Arena

I need it Legal assistance with a Family Court / ACS Hearing. As a law biding citizen, finding the right lawyer was vital to preserving my integrity and my good moral character. In addition, my career in nursing was placed on halt. I am a man of faith, so I prayed and the Lord led me to read articles... online about NYC ACS and how they sometimes mishandle fair hearing cases. In a particular article that I was reading, attorney, El-Ashmawy's excellent Litigation skills were highlighted well by the author; I felt the Lord answered my prayers. Fast forward to the present moment and today I have been restore and I am able to continue public service and living a decent life with my loving family. Attorney, El-Ashmawy is a Brilliant Attorney with over 14 years of experience. If I can compare a Great Legal Litigator's approach to his craft to a Master Chess Player then Attorney, El- Ashmawy is a Chess Master in the field of Law. Below these references support my experience as a client of Attorney, El- Ashmawy.

Consummate professional with a heart of gold

Mr Elashmawy came highly recommended to me at a very low point in my life. We had been struggling through a very difficult Family Court case for over three years. At our initial meeting, I found him to be attentive, kind and compassionate. He was also very knowledgeable about the law, After speaking... with him, I knew we were finally in very capable hands. Mr Elashmawy and his staff worked diligently on our behalf. There was a successful outcome. The child in question is now thriving. Mr. Elashmawy saved his life.
