This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Diligent and dedicated to his clients.

I have witnessed Mr. Hamra's abilities first hand when I reached out to him for a colleague consultation on a criminal matter. His knowledge and expertise was reassuring and his personality was refreshing. He is 100% dedicated to helping his clients make the best out of a litigious situation and I ...couldn't recommend him more.

Best Lawyer in a long time!!!

I was in a tight spot a year ago, and i was referred to Mr Hamra through a friend. They promised he was great and of course i skeptical. After an initial consultation i felt confident he can help me win the case. My original attorney was pushing me to accept a plea deal which included a few years ...in prison along with community service. Mr Hamra told me he was confident in getting me no jail. I rolled the dice and after a short meeting with the DA and a brief court hearing, i was off with only community service. Mr Hamra was calm, nice and extremely smart. He knew the laws and told me what to expect and what i should and should not accept. I would recommend Mr Hamra to anyone who is in a tight spot or in trouble with the law and needs legal advise and/or counseling. Thank you very much for your help and helping me straighten my life out!

great representation

This man is unbelievable he represented me in a matter and I couldn't have received a better result. He always returned my phone calls, he kept me up to date about my case at all times, and he got my case dismissed. Hiring him was the best decision. I highly recommend him.

ibrahim is the truth

ibrahim abohamra has been the biggest blessing to my family and i. i was facing two felonies, they allegedly had a video of me hitting someone with a vehicle 3 times. if i would of been convicted i would of been facing up to 15 yrs in prison. I was constantly getting arrested until i hired ibrahim. T...he magic and hope this man has given us theirs no words that can explain how grateful and happy we are with the results. my nightmare has completely ended. i have a clean record thanks to him. ive gave his business cards to everyone i know even people i dont know i recommend him to everyone. the deal ibrahim got me (2 days community service and clean record), the judge couldn't even believe his outstanding argument. and he walked me through everything and kept me posted.
