Family violence case

Manal was the best during my unfortunate situation. She made me feel like she had my back from the first moment she visited me in jail until the last of my case was done. I had never been arrested before and was feeling pretty nervous and scared locked up. Manal came to visit me just to put me at eas...e. She was always professional and timely and felt like a big sister in my corner. I paid a flat rate for her service which I initially worried service would fall off after it was received; however, that was not the case. It felt like she was working hourly for me. The dedication and work that was out in never changed despite already being paid. She put up with me asking repeat questions and my unorganized self asking for emails to be resent. The experience was awesome. While I never plan on being in this situation again, if I was ilI would hire Manal with out a doubt,

Best Legal Defense in Georgia

There is not enough positive things to say about Manal. Not only is she the most genuine and honest person I have ever met, she is the most devoted attorney I have ever had the chance of working with. I have a lead foot like no other, so I have had my fair share of attorneys. I was charged speeding 2...5mph over the speed limit in the city of Suwanee. This is my fourth of fifth speeding ticket in the past 2 years. If you know anything about Suwanee, you know it's a very strict court with even stricter police. After a defensive driving class, and a trip to the courthouse with Manal, I only paid a $325.00 fine; no points, no suspended license. She was upfront with me about everything I needed to know and worked hard to get the result I wanted. You'd be making a mistake if you didn't seriously consider hiring her.

The very Best !

I reside out of state & was facing a DUI charge along with 3 others which i recieved in Atlanta in 2015 . After 2 yrs. had passed i had a day in court w/ no legal representation, at that time i was instructed by the court to find an attorney & my court date was reset for the fall of 2017. I had ...a long list of Atlanta attorneys, at rhe very top was Manal Chehimi . I contacted her 1st before anyone - a decision that was truly one of the BEST i've ever made ! She agreed to represent me as i also agreed to her absolute fair terms ! Manal Chehimi kept in full contact with me at all times reguarding my case & her plans for a succesful victory ! She is easy to talk to & communicates the legal side of your case with ease to you so that you are in full understanding of whats going on & what ypu are looking at going into ! Honestly, i was a bit worried , NOT because of anything that Manal was handling, only my own nerves & anxiety of my charges. At one time i believe i had expressed my worries to her & she told me to "trust her." I did ! Fully & completely ! My fate was in her hands & i trusted her to see me through this. Dec. 7, 2017- our day in court ! Its now or nothing ! Manal Chehimi put me on the stand & i was cross examined , the whole 9 yards! Mrs. Chehimi came out swinging ! Her professionalism was paramount & 100 % on point ! After the cross examination we awaited the judge ruling of my fate ! The ruling was over 4 topics. Manal won the 1st topic ! The 2nd ! Then the 3rd & & for the win - Manal Chehimi won the 4th ! We won ! SHE WON ! VICTORY !!! I will never be able to express my gratitude for this wonderful, professional person as long as i live ! Manal Chehimi was the 1st & ONLY attorney i contacted in the beginning ! A decission i will NEVER regret ! EVER ! She will always be my super hero !!!! I can only hope with everything inside me, if you are searching for legal representation- STOP RIGHT HERE ! and look no further ! Please contact Manal Chehimi to represent you ! A decission you will never regret !!!

Superior; epitome of what a great attorney should be

Manal was assigned to my DUI case through Don Turner's office. She handled my case with care from the first call to the last court date. She fought until the very end. I was able to get my charged reduced with probation, but probation would be terminated once the conditions were completed. (DUI Class..., Drug and Alcohol eval). The only reason I didnt go to trial was because I couldn't afford it but if I could of, I would of went for it because I knew she would fight on my behalf. She really pours her heart into her career. You can just feel it. If I ever have legal troubles again (and let's hope thats never...lol) I'll call her. She was the best.

My DeKalb DUI

Manal took my case in Dekalb. It was my second DUI and I was scared. The police charged me with DUI for alcohol and taking Ambien. I really thought I would lose my job and my license. I was scared I'd have to go back to DeKalb Jail. She told me she would fight for me. Then she called me to say that s...he had gotten the prosecutor to drop down to reckless driving but knew she could fight it even more. I would have been really happy with that, but she said there were problems with the way the cop did things. A week before my next court date, she called to say that she had gotten everything reduced to failure to maintain lane. She was with me from the beginning through the whole case. She was already in court waiting for me for my last court date and walked me through every step. I didn't even have probation! I have worked hard to get my life back on track since all this happened. But if friend of mine was ever in trouble, I tell them to call Manal in a heartbeat! I am trust her and grateful for everything she did for me.
