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.

Great Representation

Mr. Yusef was instrumental in keeping me & my younger brother updated about his case. He went above and beyond to represent us and ensure us he was doing the best he could do. Trustworthy. Reliable. Punctual & Empathetic. If there is anybody you would want to handle your case he is the person for it....

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.

Highly recommend!

Yusuf El Ashmawy is the best attorney I could have asked for to represent, and his commitment, compassion, and dedication helped my family get through a very difficult and lengthy legal process in family court. From our first meeting, he explained and planned with me in terms I could easily understan...d, and he was always very responsive whenever I had questions throughout the process. My case was very complex, involving an ACS investigation that threatened custodial rights as well as my career. There were also complicating factors such as an order of protection and visitation/custody petition which made our situation all the more sensitive. Mr. El Ashmawy was extremely experienced and knowledgeable on all fronts and was able to negotiate a favorable outcome as well as a complete dismissal of the case, which was crucial for my wellbeing, career and livelihood. Throughout this painful time, he was also highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for all involved and treated me with compassion and understanding throughout. He checked in with me frequently and made sure I knew what was happening at all times. His legal representation restored my faith in the justice system. If you're seeking legal help, I highly recommend Mr. El Ashmawy!

Exceptional lawyer

I hired Yusuf Elashmawy for my daughter’s case and he was great. He was understanding and available whenever I needed him to explain anything to me. I would recommend him to anyone that would need a great lawyer.
