Yusuf Abdul-Wahab Elashmawy

Yusuf impressed us from our first meeting, with his compassion, humanity, and the genuine care he has for his clients and for their children. He has been extremely helpful in our efforts to cut through endless bureaucracy and incompetence (and seemingly bad faith at times) to accomplish the adoption... of our children from the NYC foster care system. Even after the goal of a case is changed to adoption, it takes years to complete, depriving children of full benefits from the permanency that the system claims to support. Yusuf is passionate, a tireless worker, and truly empathizes with the challenges families face. We strongly recommend him to anyone facing a painful and/or stressful family situation.

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.

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!

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.
