OUTSTANDING LAWYER, AMAZING PERSON

I researched quite a few lawyers before I chose Sharif, and it was the best decision I ever made! He came through with everything he said he would do for me and then some! He is an amazing lawyer because he will go the extra mile to get desired results. Every time we went to court it was obvious tha...t everyone liked him and respected him...which says a lot! He is completely professional, but at the same time he is understanding, caring, and funny. His easygoing attitude just really helped me feel so much more comfortable in court and through everything. He helped me more than he knows!

Light-hearted and Effective

Sharif Abaza is an outstanding and dedicated lawyer who will listen to your needs, outline which avenue will work best in your favor and what steps you need to take in order to still achieve a bright future. Facing an offense often times causes an individual to not only feel hopeless, but also vulner...able, insecure and doubtful of their future. Sharif understands this, empathizes with his clients and sees them with respect and high regard always. Therefore he devotes his time strategizing who he needs to talk to and what needs to be done by him and the client in order for his client to obtain his/her desired results. I find this very admirable, as he is one of the most humble and benevolent lawyers I have ever met, who really walks his client through each and every step as peacefully as possible. He will treat you as if you are family to him. Super positive, keeps conversations fun and strives to make you feel resilient through and after the process. Great experience and forever thankful for his time and efforts. -Melanie M.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
