Mehdi Essmidi

Mehdi is the rare attorney who picks up the phone when you call him -- himself –- then listens and answers your questions directly, in detail, and adds in some humor. He's a treasure of an attorney. In this case, somebody committed a crime against me, and I felt so lucky to have his advice. He actual...ly told me I don't need an attorney.

Mehdi is a straight shooter. He was very attentive to my concerns and was always thinking of the next move in my situation. I chose Mehdi because he seemed very prepared for all outcomes in comparison to a few other Attorneys I spoke with. He was always 2 steps ahead and had an answer/explanation for... all of my hypothetical questions (which was a lot). He seemed to also bring a fresh perspective to the conversation having been on the other side of the table not too long ago. It showed to me that he was experienced and confident. His insider knowledge was particularly helpful because it allowed me to get an understanding on how the prosecution/police were possibly handling the case, thus giving him an edge on how to react. He also made himself available to me, by phone and in person, which I appreciated as in this type of situation I wanted to speak face-to-face. Overall, Mehdi was competent and seemed determined to help me get the best outcome possible. Thank you Mehdi for your help, Grateful to put this behind me.

I called mehdi on what was possibly the worst day of my life - the police were issuing a warrant to have my home searched and I was terrified. I texted him the minute i was arrested - by the time i arrived at the police station the cops already knew not to interrogate me because my attorney had ALREA...DY spoken to them. This is maybe a 10 minute window from my apartment to the police station. Mehdi understood my situation, spoke to my family to get more clarification, and spoke to the judge with so much confidence. When i was released from booking, Mehdi had more patience than I did and explained every step of the way calmly and reassuringly. I was the most stressed out I had EVER been before, and he knew that and took care of me like only a great lawyer could in the New York legal system. He helped me get my belongings out of police lockup, which is a very tedious process and not one of his job requirements. He answered every one of my questions with care. And he was flexible when I needed an extra few days to make a payment for his services. I took a stack of his business cards and gave them to everyone I know who may find themselves in trouble with the law. The legal system is painful without a lawyer, and Mehdi is the absolute best guy to help you through.

My family worked with Mehdi following some charges that were brought up against a family member. Upon meeting with Mehdi, we always had constant communication with him, which is great as he never pushed us off onto his legal team for questions and concerns that came up. In many previous experiences w...ith attorneys, most of our communication took place with the legal team rather than the attorney themselves. Mehdi made it clear to us that he cared by having open conversations with us, as well as being available throughout the course of this court case. Mehdi is knowledgeable, empathetic and kind. I extend my gratitude to him for all he's done for our family during this tough situation. He also exhibited a high level of experience and education. If you're looking for an attorney who is dedicated and client-oriented, Mehdi Essmidi is the way to go.

I was accused of something that could have lead to me losing my license as an RN and deportation out of the US. My husband and I was so devastated. After a consultation with another lawyer I was still left lost and confused, it was my first time dealing with the criminal justice system. I went on t...o find another lawyer and found Atty. Mehdi Essmidi of Greco Neyland. The first time we had a consultation with him, somehow I felt a bit at ease, and became knowledgeable about the charges towards me and possible outcomes. Atty. Mehdi is always there for you anytime of the day and even at night to talk/listen to you and answer inquiries. He is the not just an amazing person, but Excellent on what he does. He also considered my immigration status during the process. The gut feeling I had in the beginning that he is the right lawyer to hire, wasn’t wrong, at the end, he was able have my get my case resolved. My husband, myself and my whole family are all relieved, now we get to go on with our lives. Atty. Mehdi is literally a God sent, a part of an answered prayer during the darkest time of my life, I am forever grateful. I highly recommend Atty. Mehdi and his team at Greco Neyland for any criminal defense needs!
