Not guilty

I had lost a lot of sleep over my case. Jad, had assured that I shouldn’t worry and that he would get it dismissed. I was worried when I saw all the witnesses had arrived, however Jad was able to get me a not guilty on a technicality. The guy fights very hard for his clients. I owe Jad my career, I w...ould have been terminated if I was found guilty of the charge.

Posted by Jennifer | May 05, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

And the Verdict is.......Hire Jad Sarsour!

When the Judge suggests that you thank your lawyer because he did a fantastic job, you know you have a good lawyer. I had no idea with to expect or what to do when I received a DWI/DUI. I was told to hire a lawyer. I picked Jad because of his location and his excellent reviews, but then when I met hi...m, I knew I was in good hands. He was calm and reassuring, which in turn, kept me focused. The final outcome was more than I could have hoped for (Not Guilty)! Jad knows his stuff and he is compassionate and caring. But most of all, he was patient; he answered his calls and responded to every email and question immediately and was never condescending. He was never too busy to answer, help or just listen. I will definitely recommend Jad to my friends, family and co-workers if they ever find themselves in a bind. I can never thank him enough.

If I could give this lawyer more than 100 stars I would

In early 2015, I was charged with two felonies and contacted Attorney Sarsour for a consultation. He returned my call within 25 minutes and we scheduled a face to face meeting for the following morning. I had no prior interactions with the judicial system so I was completely a novice about how crimin...al legal matters were handled. Meeting with Lawyer Sarsour that first time was the best decision I could have ever made. I walked him through the events of my situation and he listened intently. He was interested in hearing what I had to say. His patient and calm demeanor allowed me to provide him with the entire background of my case. I immediately knew that I had to hire Jad to represent me. Through the next 22 months, Jad Sarsour repeatedly demonstrated his skillful knowledge of the law, his unrelenting drive to support me, and his compassion as an individual who had a vested interest in my welfare. At each step in the process, he would provide me with information about what would happen during court appearances so that I was always well prepared. Attorney Sarsour is able to articulate the many different scenarios that were possible. With each scenario, he would provide me with the knowledge that I needed in order to make a decision. He always laid out all of the options and we would discuss risks associated with each possible outcome. He made sure that I was comfortable with how we were proceeding at each step. When I did have questions, I was welcome to email, call, or text him. He would respond to my messages or return my call within a few short hours or less. I never had to follow-up with him a second time because he is so invested in his clients. Attorney Sarsour makes you feel like you are his highest priority regardless if it is a five minute phone call or a court appearance. For my case, we decided that we would move forward with a jury trial. I had decided that I would testify on my behalf so Attorney Sarsour and I role played what it would be like when I took the stand. We went through every detail of the trial so when the day actually arrived I knew exactly what was going to happen. On the day of the trial, the Commonwealth dropped the charges right before jury selection and the judge dismissed the case. Hiring and believing in Jad Sarsour are two of the best actions I could have done for myself. My words cannot express the gratitude and respect I have for this man.

Small Possession Offense/First Time and Last time

I called many Attorneys for help with my case. I have never gone to Criminal Court so I was very scared and completely oblivious to the proceedings or my rights. Jad was not only the only one who seemed to care, but he already knew in advance how to better my odds of getting a good outcome. I high...ly recommend his services and expertise. I will also add that when I was awaiting trial the Officer who arrested me approached and asked who my Attorney was; needless to say the Officer was rather disgruntled when I told him Jad was my guy. The FirstPoint Staff were on point and very professional.

Posted by N | May 09, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Drug Crime

Best Lawyer Ever

I got charged with possession of Marijuana and started to immediately research for a good lawyer online because I could have lost my job with that charge on my record. Within 30 minutes of contacting First Point, I received a phone call from Jad from his cell phone...on a WEEKEND! I was so relieved t...o hear that he could get my case dismissed, but obviously was hesitant to believe such good news. He had me take an online drug course and complete 20 hours of community service online and talked me through what to expect during court. I even had a panic attack the night before and he immediately called me and made me feel so much better about the situation. During the court session, the prosecutor was horrible and I thought we would have to continue my case, however Jad fought hard for me and got it DISMISSED! He also got two of the other clients' cases dismissed that day as well. No one else in court got their charges dismissed with such ease. He obviously knows what he is doing and knows who is he, which is a huge plus. I HIGHLY recommend Jad to anyone who is looking for a lawyer for a criminal case. HE'S THE BEST... and I owe my future career to him!
