Posted by anonymous | September 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

High conflict divorce

Mine was a high conflict divorce and child custody case. My ex made my life difficult and stressful in every way. When Sajjid (JJ) took on my case, it was the first time I had some one who actually went head on with my ex and his attorney. What sets JJ apart from other attorneys is that he actually c...ares about his clients and feels their pain. He is passionate about what he does and goes to every extent to make sure the truth is heard. He did not take my case for the face value but he collected counter arguments to negate every lie and manipulation from my ex. He not only protected me but also my child. If you want someone who will not just go an extra mile but also work diligently to protect your right, I would undoubtedly recommend JJ. As clients, we go to attorneys for solutions and before I found JJ, there was no real solution from any of the attorneys I went to. You only hear what you already know but with JJ, I guarantee that you will see a difference in your life. He is an intelligent attorney you can count to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

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.
