Mehdi Essmidi

TLDR: Mehdi is a smart, attentive, and available lawyer. Will always get back to you, will fight for you for real, and is ACTUALLY affordable (honestly you’re getting way more than your monies worth, he deserves more than what he asks for) I must have called 10 or 15 (literally) Lawyers before I c...ame across Mehdi and he was THE ONLY one that actually talked to me like a normal person. He explained to me what cases like mine have looked like, he clearly broke down for me everything I needed and the game plan and genuinely calmed me down (multiple times lol). He always kept me informed, whenever I called him or texted him he called me back & answered all my questions. He hounded the ADA on my case making sure they looked at it with the same importance as their other cases. Most importantly I could afford him. Not a single lawyer I called before him quoted me less thank almost 3 months worth of my rent (90% sure you are on the same boat if you’re reading this) if you’re like me you make too much for public defender and not enough to to afford to pay 3 months worth of rent. Mehdi was fair in what he charged me. He understood what I was going through and worked with me. Honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better person to represent me. He got my case literally the best outcome possible (very happy about that!) and all while keeping me from panicking and stressing out on a regular basis. Frankly this dude deserves 3 months of my rent but he never even asked for it. I hope I’ll never need him again but if I do he’s gonna be my first call.

I had the privilege of working with Mehdi Essmidi as my defense attorney in a complex criminal defense case. I cannot speak highly enough of his exceptional knowledge, expertise, and unwavering commitment to my case. Mehdi's extensive understanding of criminal defense, order of protection, and the di...stinct differences between the Westchester County courts and the five boroughs of NYC set him apart as a formidable legal advocate. One of the standout qualities of Mehdi was his profound knowledge of the intricacies of criminal defense law. He demonstrated a deep understanding of the unique challenges that arise in criminal cases, particularly in Westchester County. His familiarity with the local court system enabled him to develop a tailored defense strategy that proved to be immensely effective in my case. What truly impressed me was Mehdi's ability to negotiate a substantial reduction in my charges. Through his skillful and persuasive approach, he convinced the defense to lower my charges from a Level 3 Misdemeanor to harassment, with the condition of completing one year of probation. This outcome exceeded my expectations and was a testament to Mehdi's exceptional negotiation skills and his comprehensive understanding of the legal system. Throughout the entire process, Mehdi's communication skills were exemplary. He maintained open and transparent lines of communication, keeping me informed and updated every step of the way. He promptly addressed my concerns, patiently explained legal complexities, and provided valuable guidance. His professionalism and ability to effectively communicate complex legal matters were truly commendable. I greatly appreciated Mehdi's approach to my case. While he felt confident in pursuing the case through to trial, he recognized the potential emotional toll it could have on me and my family. His compassion and consideration were evident when he presented the option of reducing the charges and avoiding a lengthy trial process. I never felt pressured, but rather inspired by his unwavering confidence and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for my case. I wholeheartedly recommend Mehdi Essmidi to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. His extensive knowledge, remarkable negotiation skills, and deep commitment to his clients make him an invaluable asset in the courtroom. Mehdi's ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system, coupled with his genuine care and compassion, set him apart as an outstanding attorney. If you are searching for a defense attorney who will vigorously fight for your rights, provide clear and effective communication, and deliver exceptional results, Mehdi Essmidi is the attorney you need. His unwavering dedication and outstanding legal skills make him the epitome of an exceptional defense attorney.

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.
