I have always enjoyed the practice of law, from the simple appearances in court to the arguments made before a jury. I have found my talent in being able to speak to people, to make them understand my side, to convince and persuade. I have combined this interest and talent into a practice that I am very proud of.

Fantastic attorney, dedicated to finding success for his clients.
Mahmoud was extremely helping in resolving our legal matter with the best possible outcome. Working with Mahmoud was a very pleasant experience from our very first call to our case dismissal. He also provided a level of empathy and understanding that went above and beyond our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking diligent and effective legal representation.

Awesome, helpful and trustworthy attorney
I found myself in a very dark place and was overwhelmed, I didn’t know where to go or who to turn to. I was referred to Mr. Rabah and did an extensive search on this attorney. I was pleasantly surprised on the great reviews he had and felt very comfortable hiring him. I have no regrets ! He was very pleasant and empathic, was ALWAYS available when I called or texted. I didn’t have to go through an assistant and wait for him to call back like most attorneys. He knew the System well and everything he said would happen, happened during the case. He kept me updated and guided me well. He is very flexible and a people person. He got my case dismissed! I recommend him with no reservations - he is just an awesome human being!

Satisfied victory
Mr Rabah very intelligent, humble and kind. I want to say thank you Mr Rabah for helping my husband in his case, words can't express the gratitude that we have for him. My husband first DWI Mr Rabah did what he said which was get my husband record cleared and that's what happened in the end. I will recommend Mr Rabah because he is a excellent lawyer. He works really hard to get his clients a fair victory. Mr Rabah knows his jobs and makes sure you don't suffer any anxiety and panic attacks while waiting for your trial in court. He reassure you that he will fight with everything in him to succeed to victory. This is what he did for my family. I will forever recommend Mr Rabah to anyone. Thank you again Mr Rabah.

Best choice
I found myself in a position that required legal representation towards the end of 2021, not being ever in this position before like most I went on to the internet to research attorneys in my area. I came across the Bio of Attorney Mahmoud R. RABAH, and found it impressive, his contact info was readily available so I reached out for his assistance. He returned my phone call himself within a few hours and set up an appointment at his conveniently located offices. He instantly was able to pull up my case and talked me thru the entire court process and assured me he would stick with the case from beginning to end. After our meeting I was extremely confident I made the right choice in my legal representation. He continued to keep me informed regarding the progress on my case  and the changes in court proceedings due to the current concerns of Covid and Omicron viruses. Needless to say the final determination on my case was exactly as Mr.Rabah anticipated and 2022 started with my legal concerns being left in 2021. I recommend his counsel to anyone in need of legal representation in New York . Sincerely, L.Morales

The Best lawyer in town
Mr Rabah is a man of his words. He was really transparent and kept me in the loop. As someone who was underage and got into deep trouble he lifted me up and in all honesty turned my life around in a positive way. He was always there in court on time and always there with a positive attitude, always willing to help.

Mahmoud Rabah, fantastic attorney
Mahmoud Rabah is my son's attorney, but has kept me in the loop on everything. He is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the law. He is thoughtful and concerned. He is our lawyer, but treats us like family. He is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day if needed. He never gives up on his clients and always gets the best results.

Strongly Recommend him
Mr. Mahmoud has represented me on a case in a professional way. He was very responsive and supportive to all my questions and concerns. With my eyes closed if any future matter occurs, I will definitely choose Mr. Mahmoud. He is one of the first lawyers that won't look at how much you have in your pocket but how can he fight for you till the end to win the case. I highly recommend him as your attorney. Do not look further to any other, he is the right lawyer for you if you're looking for a criminal lawyer.

Would stick with this attorney for life, I trust him with my life and the results spoke themselves every time...
I have been using Mahmoud for the last 5yrs. He has fought quite a few of my legal battles, and has given me results I truly believe no other Lawyer could. Over that time he has become my friend, someone that I trust and would blindly hand him over any situation I’m faced with, never with the need to TELL HIM what results I seek, but being able to KNOW HE WILL get me the ones I need. I recommend his services to anyone who’s actually interested in winning their case and having a chance to live their life outside and not incarcerated.
