Always Felt In Good Hands

I was sure I would just have to accept what happened to me. I knew I was wronged, I didn’t know what to do about it though. That’s when I hired AJ Dhali. From the time of our first communication AJ had my case completely planned out and he always made me feel confident in what the outcome would be. A...J had everything under control and organized, and he asked me all the right questions so he could build a solid case. I supplied AJ with facts conveying what happened to me at the onset, but then AJ did everything else. I was so amazed at how he Instinctively knew and understood what I had been through. I sometimes have a difficulty explaining myself. AJ read between the lines and exercised a great deal of patience. He made me feel it was okay to ask many questions and have things explained in detail. I always felt in good hands. In the end, AJ won my case and I came away with more than I ever imagined. I’ve told many friends and acquaintances about AJ. If I ever need an attorney again, I won’t think twice about contacting AJ. If you’ve taken the time to read this review, I suggest you invest 15 minutes into calling AJ. It’ll be a great decision on your part, with a great outcome.

FMLA

AJ is a blessing in disguise. I hired him right away. It's like the lord sent an angel overnight. I'm a humbled individual and at the time I was dealing with some mean spirited folks. He made me feel comfortable even when times were tough. His integrity, wits, and unbiased soul for his craft as a...n employment attorney is nothing more than astounding. He puts in the work and make sure you have the best representation anyone can ask for. Aj informed me about everything that was going on and informed me about some situations to be mindful of. However, his dedication (even while out of town w/family) was heartwarming and guided me every step of the way. Would I recommend Mr. Dhali? Yes, as long as I'm abled. The truth is, even if I didn't win, I would give him the same review and recommend him to anyone who is need of help from a trusted/knowledgeable attorney. If I had to do an essay on Employment Lawyers, I would choose AJ Dhali without hesitation. He is that attorney. He is awesome!

Aj Dhali is the "Phantom behind the Shadows!"

Recently at my previous and current job I had been discriminated, harassed, retaliated against etc. Over a period of time I did plenty of research online regarding my situation at work and on several firms "Attorneys" that would more than likely take my case. I called 3 big "EXPENSIVE" firms prior to... calling Aj and explained my situation at work and they pretty much gave me the "round around" and made me feel like all they wanted was my hard earned money. One day here on Avvo.com I came across Aj's profile and I started to read his client's comments "reviews" and I came across one review that stood out to me "they called him the Underdog" -_-. Well let me tell you for a Underdog he defintely has a Big bite and is keeping up with the Big dogs quite easliy. I consulted with him at his office and I immediately could tell he knew his pratice areas, and he was honest with me regarding my case. From the time that I hired Aj Dhali to represent me in my case to now, he has been amazing. He is very knowledgeable and Sharp, his is commited to actually help you get to a solution plus on the upside he actually picks up the phone and returns your call when you try to reach him "OMG lol" Its a good and comforting feeling knowing that you wont walk alone. With Aj Dhali's knowledge and ability I personally recommend you give him a call and consult with him, its been the best call I have made. Kudos to you Aj Dhali, you are truely the Phantom behind the Shadows :-)

The lawyer I needed

From our initial telephone consultation, it was clear to me that Mr Dhali was the lawyer I should have had a year ago. Empathy, understanding and a sense of what could be done to help - all were immediately conveyed and for the first time in this very complicated case against big business and a pitbu...ll of opposing counsel, I did not feel totally alone and swimming against the tide. Highly recommended from our consultation alone. Thanks AJ.

Great and dependable lawyer

AJ is very knowledgeable, honest and hard working. He has a very good understanding of the law, particularly labor and discrimination issues. He always gave me helpful information and sound and honest advice for my situation. He also took the time to explain things to me, which I appreciate as I was ...not familiar with US employment practices. I felt he had my best interest in mind when negotiating on my behalf and I particularly appreciate his support and calm presence in what was a very stressful time for me. Additionally, AJ is very responsive, he always returned my calls or replied to my emails within the day, even when he was in court or in depositions. He genuinely cares about his clients, and that is priceless. I would highly recommend him for employment matters.
