Posted by David | September 03, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Just and all around great guy and lawyer

I’m from Texas and found myself in an ugly divorce and child custody case by moving my wife and child to be 5 minutes away from her parents. They made it sound like it was gonna be a wonderful thing, but it was a setup and they did a pretty good job at putting me in a bind with the legal system. In...nocent of course! Aren’t we all, but seriously, the Florida laws are some BS and the judicial system is all about the money. They don’t care if you are innocent or guilty. I had bad experience with some police officers using overuse of force and violating my Civil Rights by taking advantage of escalating the situation while I was handcuffed on my belly. Anyway, I found Omar and he was patient, attentive to my needs except taking longer than I wanted to get a disposition. Lol! I’m the end, I was between a rock and hard place and Omar did a great job of “playing the game” and got me the best deal I was gonna get. Granted I was innocent and had a witness to what happened. It left me with know respect for the 5the Judicial Court, but lots of respect for Omar. In 49 years of being a Critical Care nurse with no criminal history, the DA was trying to throw the book at me. Omar took the book and threw it back and said, well I can’t say what he said. Just joking about that part, but he was very professional through the whole thing. I talk a lot and sometimes I was frustrated with not receiving responses in what I considered a reasonable time, but as a teacher of mine told me growing up, patience isn’t one your virtues. Thank Omar for being so kind through the whole process even when I lost my cool at one time. You handled it like the true professional you are and we worked through it and I am happy to get this behind me. I’m looking forward to having this expunged and having you do it. I just wanted to give you a shout out and a big thank you for being a top notch lawyer and truly one of the best at what you do. Sincerely, David Shreckengost

Criminal Attorney

It is with pleasure that we wish to recommend Mr. Omar Abdelghany in his practice as a Criminal Defense Attorney. He was hired in the defense of our son. The defense included more than one offense, which required legal maneuvering to address the issues. Omar’s skills came into play in positioning t...he case, which resulted in a good outcome given the facts at hand. We found Omar to be a caring person, one who is easy to contact and receptive to keeping us informed of the progress of the case. He answered any questions we had as the case progressed through the legal system, as well as consulting with our son during his incarceration.

Awesome Lawyer

Omar is an excellent criminal defense lawyer. He provided constant support, and was always available for any questions or concerns I had. I strongly recommend Omar, and although unfortunate life decisions on my part led me to him, I am a better person for having him represent me!!!

You Won't Go Wrong With Omar!!

Omar is awesome and so professional. I can see he genuinely cares for his clients and is very educated and experienced with criminal cases. I am so happy with the outcome of my case. I was facing prison time but the outcome was just what we wanted..no probation or anything. He always kept me posted a...nd is always available any time i contacted him. Overall i would highly recommend him for anyone that needs representation for criminal cases because he will definitely do anything he can to help in a serious legal situation.
