Client Review

Omar represented us when we were injured in a vehicle accident. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He is a reliable lawyer, easy to get in touch with and always offered us knowledgeable legal counsel. Omar truly went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable throughout o...ur case. He always kept us informed and was readily available to answer any questions or concerns we had. I would highly recommend Omar for any legal services.

A Superb & Winning Attorney

Omar was interested in my case from the start and met with me very soon after an accident. Omar listened patiently, gave me concise, accurate and understandable information, and he also consistently followed through on all matters regarding my case until it was finally settled satisfactorily. In ...addition, Omar has gone above and beyond by giving me excellent legal advice regarding other matters. I highly recommend Omar and believe his in-depth knowledge, wide experience, good heartedness and passion for justice would serve anyone well who needs a talented lawyer for an important case.

Honest, informative, proactive and responsive

I was in a minor car accident and did my best to work with the insurance companies to no avail. A friend recommended I reach out to Omar. During the consultation he laid everything out to me plain and simple and assured me I would be made whole. I put everything in his hands and I'm so glad I did.... Omar did a great job for me and I highly recommend him.

Avvo Rating

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
