One of a kind representation

Truly amazing lawyer! Saying he’s simply great will be an understatement I cannot thank Mr. Elashmawy enough for representing me during my Custody case and getting it dismissed in my favor immediately. He was professional and attentive, he listened to my concerns and was exceptional during my appeara...nce. Honestly cannot thank him enough!

Reliable legal service

I know attorneys get a bad rap, but I have to say that Yusuf El Ashmawy and his team are the real deal! From the moment I had my initial consultation, I knew he was the right attorney for my family joint custody case. He is honest, knows the law and gave me really good advice on weather I should liti...gate or settle. He did not make the decision for me, but gave me knowledge so that I could proceed with a settlement on my family court case. I would highly recommend him and his very professional team.

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.

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!
