He defends me with my case. I'm a grandmother fostering my grandkids.

He's really involved! He's very well spoken. When I see him in court you can see how he really cares for his clients. I like when he speaks in court & shows his emotion.

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.

Family court

Mr Yusuf has been my attorney for over 5 years. He has been so much help. I don't know what I would have done without his help. I am thankful to have had and still have his services. He's an awesome lawyer. Thumbs up.

Thank you

Yusuf Elashmawy is one of the best lawyers I ever had. He helped me gain an order of protection against my attacker and keep custody of my children. Always stays calm under pressure, poised, respectful, understanding and is great at what he does. Simply the best. Thank you so much for all your hel...p and the knowledge that you have given me about maintaining an order of protection.

The best lawyer

He is a professional and intelligent lawyer. He helped me with my custody, divorce and even showed as a character witness for my immigration case. I have utilized Yousef’s counsel and advice for almost ten year. He is a great lawyer that’s supports his clients through everything. He was always availa...ble to assist me anytime day or night. FYI, we won every case.
