This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend Mr. Nawash

We had the privilege of working with Mr. Nawash to represent our company in a complex commercial landlord-tenant dispute, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. His exceptional negotiation skills, deep understanding of commercial property law, and unwavering commitment to protecting our interests... were instrumental in salvaging our business from what could have been a disastrous outcome. Mr. Nawash was strategic, responsive, and always a step ahead. He navigated every challenge with confidence and precision, ensuring that our rights as tenants were upheld and that we achieved a resolution far better than we thought possible. If you're facing any commercial landlord-tenant issues, Mr. Nawash is the lawyer you want in your corner. Highly recommended!

SoulHearted

I had the opportunity to work with Kamal Nawash's team. Here's the longstory, but short: Integrity, Honesty, Empathy, Challenge, Compassion, Knowledge, Desire to do public good. That's Mr. Nawash and his team. That is why you should explore their aid, experience their consultations, and retain th...em as council.

The service when I consulted the lawyer was great in a sense that he takes the time to listen and think of a solution very easily. I would definitely recommend as I think he is a very knowledgeable and helpful lawyer. Moreover, I felt trusted and heard, I could tell he deeply cares about solving his ...clients’ problems with dedication.

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.
