Not a man of his word

There was a warrant for my son. He has never been in trouble before, we consulted with Shabazz who said he would go with him the next day to turn him in along with our first deposit. The next day his paralegal told me he couldn't make it and he'll turn him in sometime next week but still bring in the... deposit. Are you kidding me? He expect me to keep my son in hiding for days but still pay him? NOT!!!! I got a better lawyer in the same building on a higher floor and I'm glad of it!!!!

Expedient

I would definitely have to give this attorney a rating of 5 stars ALONE from how superb the process was for an inexperienced person such as myself. With little knowledge in the legal/law field, I secured Mr. El-Shabazz after explaining to him my incident I had actually surveyed across other crimi...nal defense law firms and I would actually be waiting 30 minutes to an hour AFTER my scheduled appointment time. Completely ridiculous, however with Tariq El-Shabazz and his firm, the process of getting representation was great.

HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE MEETS YOU BEFORE YOUR TRIAL!!!

I retained El-Shabazz and he never spoke or met with me before my trial. He went on his own theatrics of how he thought the case should go. My trial was in Montgomery County, PA where his theatrics didn't work with the jury. He was paid an astronomical amount up front. He NEVER answered or returned c...alls. He was always on CN8 discussing other cases. He didn't show up when he was needed. He always sent Attorney Richard Harris. He's an excellent attorney in Phila, who can persuade the system, but when you take him out of his element, start praying...!

  • 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.
