Extraordinary Criminal Attorney

Mehmet represented me earlier in his career - in 2013 to 2015 - so I can only imagine how he has sharpened his skills. I was wrongly accused of entering the home of a mentally disturbed woman who had just been released from Belmont Psychiatric Hospital where she had been diagnosed with paranoid schiz...ophrenia. The case came down to her word against mine. Mehmet researched case law and drafted motions that stymied the prosecution at every turn. Most impressive was his knowledge on breaking case law that affected my case and his ability apply it to my case. Most importantly to me was the Mehmet cared about me not as a client or another defendant, but as a person who was wrongly accused. There was little he would not do to see my release. You see I was remanded for two years and he was my only hope. In that scenario communication with a client is paramount. It’s easy to feel abandoned while remanded facing bogus charges. I never felt alone or scared with Mehmet as my attorney. I respect and admire Mehmet and so will you. At 58 years old I’ve dealt with attorneys throughout my life for various reasons. Mehmet is by far the best attorney I’ve ever met.
