He saved my future

I hired Jad Sarsour to represent me on 2nd DUI with very harsh consequences according to the law. Jad goes above and beyond to take care of his clients because he really understands that good non criminal people can have their lives destroyed by the law. He got me the bare minimum sentence possible. ...Without his representation, I could have been in jail for months to a year, lost my job and have my life severely turned upside down. But due to him and his legal talents, I am OK. He took time from his family and weekend to make sure I was treated fairly. I owe him my life and sanity. I honestly feel that I could not have survived this without him. He is well connected in the legal system and people in that system like and respect him. And with that, they are willing to work with him in his representation of his clients. But that is not where his services stops because once sentenced, he does not leave you. He worked to get me out of a very horrible situation in jail and for that I am forever thankful. So if you need legal representation, Jad Sarsour is the one you should hire. Look no further...this is your guy. He will be honest with you about the possibilities. He will always respond to your questions. And most importantly, he will go above and beyond to make sure you are treated appropriately in an extremely scary situation imposed by the legal system. The legal system does not always get it right in their prosecution and sentencing but he makes sure they do. I cannot say enough about my thankfulness for his services. I made a severe mistake by driving with alcohol in my system but I can say that without a doubt, I did not make a mistake in my decision to hire Jad Sarsour to represent me. Thank you, Jad.

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.
