BEWARE!!!!

To all individuals seeking legal representation, I must issue a cautionary note: PROCEED WITH CAUTION! It is straightforward. Mr. Emejuru exhibits a high degree of arrogance, is primarily motivated by financial gain, and may abandon you during litigation if he perceives no potential for profit fro...m your case. Such a representative is not in your best interest. My insights are drawn from personal experience. He has a history of intentionally neglecting filing deadlines in an effort to pressure the opposing party into a settlement, which can be detrimental to your case. He tends to overlook essential information that should be presented as relevant, due to his unwillingness to accept correction. Furthermore, he has been known to fabricate a negative review on his own platform to justify withdrawing as counsel mid-trial for a client, as he failed to identify a straightforward path to financial gain from the opposing party (a fact we can substantiate). This man frequently feels the need to assert that he is not a subpar attorney, yet his actions mirror those of one. Additionally, his practice consistently falls out of “good standing” annually in court (this information is publicly accessible via Maryland SDAT). There are numerous other concerns. Ultimately, I urge you to PROCEED WITH CAUTION. Invest in an attorney who will not subject you to the challenges I have faced.

highly recommend

I was wrongfully terminated from my job and searched lawyers and came across Ike. From the first day I called him to the day we set up a meeting to discuss my case he was amazing!.. He understood what I was going through and gave me hope for a successful outcome. He is caring, honest, knowledgeable, ...and very to the point. He doesn't cut corners or "sugar coat". He listens, and advices with concern and logic. In the the almost 3 years it took to close my case he was in touch with me and kept in the "loop" of what could be the next step. Thank you for your representation with my case. Thank you for all you did and thank you for your professionalism. I highly recommend Ike as your attorney, you wont be disappointment. THANK YOU IKE!

AMAZING

Although it was an unfortunate way to meet Ike, I am very fortunate to have found him. If you ever need any kind of help whatsoever and come across Ike, don’t think twice, give him a call. He had my back 110%. He didn’t let anyone disrespect me in my lawsuit, he stood up for me, explained everything ...to me, sat on the phone with me for multiple hours on end since everything happened right when the pandemic began, to help me and prepare me in every way possible. Ike thank you so much for your services given to me. I will always remember the kindness and justice you gave me.

Attorney Emejuru is Professional, Knowledgeable, & a People Person

I would highly recommend Mr. Emejuru to handle any legal business. Mr. Emejuru’s knowledge of the law is impressive. Not only did he explained the law to me, he took the initiative to explain and assure I understood my options. It is important to hire an individual that makes you feel comfortable, es...pecially anytime when you are seeking a professional to help with a particular subject that is unfamiliar to you. I was very happy and satisfied with my selection for choosing Attorney Ikechukwu (Ike) Emejuru and I was pleased with his services. Mr. Emejuru is a professional and trustworthy and if you decide to do business with him, then you will get someone who is willing to go the extra mile for you and defend your rights.

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.
