Disatisfied and would not reccommend

I had heard great results with Jad so I decided to hire him as my lawyer for a reckless driving charge. On the phone, he sounded promising however in person I was not pleased. His secretaries refused to listen to me and properly communicate with him (told them 3 times) that I was going to show up to ...court. I drove 2 hours, showed up to court, sat waiting for my case not evening knowing what Jad looked like or anything, and honestly thought I was alone for my case. When my name was called up, he was surprised to see me and told me he wasn't expecting me and to wait for him outside of the court room. I have no idea how the case went, which was bothersome, and I was not satisfied with the outcome. I have a clean driving record and the best he could do was reduce the speed to not reckless and "only" getting four points on my license. I was pleased with his price, but I'm not pleased with his service.

After you pay him he won't even return calls!!!

I feel like my outcome could have went a lot better if I went with another attorney! His arrogant, cocky, attitude made me think he would be able to beat my charges but it backfired because after I paid him he was too busy and just didn't care enough to be the one in the court room on my court dates.... He would not even return calls after all this with questions I had. His "it's fine, it will be okay" attitude was the wrong attitude to have because I lost so much, now a felon and have so many questions. Find someone who actually cares is all I can say!

I appreciate the feedback. I don't think you hired me, I don't have anyone with those facts. Can you please message me your name? What county was your charge in? How long ago did we handle your case? How many felonies were you charged with? Why did you take the felony if it was a bad deal? Please email me at jad@firstpointlaw.com.

Avoid Jad Sarsour at all cost

Avoid Jad Sarsour at all cost. His office is overloaded and a mess. They make unnecessary mistakes and they are disorganized due to poor management. He is only interested in making a buck and getting your money. Once you have paid him, he won't pay much attention to you after that and he will jus...t hand you off to one of his assistants. He won't spend that much time researching on your case and working with you. His cost is lower than the good lawyers but you get what you paid for, actually less than what you paid for. You will regret being cheap afterwards after he loses your case and you have a criminal record. He lost my case and another lawyer won my case after I appealed and changed lawyer.

Dear Anonymous, I will put my results up against any lawyer in the state of Virginia. You have not posted what your charge was and what county this took place in. Again, I highly doubt that you were our client of ours. We have four paralegals and two receptionists and we have 7 or more lawyers here. In addition, we call all of our clients the day before court to makes sure there is no confusion. If you did you use us and you appealed your case, you get a different judge and usually a different prosecutor. I don't know any of the facts of your case and I highly doubt that the new lawyer did anything different than what we did in GDC (that is, if you actually had a case.) Please email me at jad@firstpointlaw.com the details of your case.

You get what you pay for

If you are in a legal bind and seeking representation, PLEASE DO NOT SELECT JAD SARSOUR AS YOUR ATTORNEY!! Mr. Sarsour is extremely rude and does not communicate with his clients. He did not even know what I looked like until the date of my court hearing. I did not feel like my money was well spent w...hatsoever. Take heed and hire a real attorney. Just terrible.

Client, you lived in Texas and flew in for your case, how was I supposed to know what you look like when you paid us over the phone? I give all my clients my cell phone number and tell them to text when they get into the courthouse so we can meet outside the courtroom. I find it interesting that you don't share the result I got you. You hugged me after your case was over and told me that I did a great job. I apologize if you think I am rude, I try my best to explain everything as slowly as I can. However, my results speaks for themselves, I very rarely have a client who is not happy with the results I get them. Lastly, I encourage to try to find a lawyer that knows more then me about criminal and traffic law.

This review is based on the consultation I received

This review is based on the service i received from this law firm. I had received a reckless driving violation and I am currently seeking out a lawyer to represent me since I will be out of the country on my court date in August. I received an advertisement for this law firm and wanted to check t...hem out. I called and got Jad. I proceeded to advise that I wanted to get a consultation and learn what fee's they charge. The first thing he said to me was "Have you been talking to other lawyers?" I said yes. He then says "what did they say?" I gave a brief overview on what i gather from the other lawyers. From that point in the conversation he was very disinterested in what i was explaining and very short with me. Every time I would ask a question he would cut me off. Finally at the end of the conversation he said "So are you paying today or not". I was appalled and said no i'm still doing my research, and he hung up on me. If this is how you treat a potential client then I don't want you anywhere near my case. And as a underwriter who deals with the public everyday his professionalism is lacking.

Our firm receives over 1500 calls a day. I sometimes do over over 75 reckless drivings a month and I have done over 10,000 reckless driving citations. I am one of the busiest criminal/traffic lawyers in Northern Virginia. I try my best to answer as many questions as I can. In fact, I even do a frequently ask question with potential clients and I give them my cell phone number. I apologize if I offended you in anyway.
