Amazing Lawyer who knows the laws inside out!

Best lawyer. Fights hard and wins!

Another lawyer wanted me to plead guilty and I almost listened even though I didn’t want to. Then I hired Mr. Khuja and he listened to me and walked me through every possibility with my case so I decided to trust him to do a jury trial. Immediate difference when I walked into court with him by my side. They started making better offers but I still turned them down because I knew Mr. Khuja could win my case. Trial lasted a week but it only took the jury maybe 15 minutes to find me NOT GUILTY. He was expensive but worth every penny. I owe him my freedom and will always be grateful for what he did for me.

Amazing Lawyer who knows the laws inside out!

Jamil was great to communicate and deal with. Easy to get a hold of and you can tell he cares about your situation and case. I was dealing with a domestic violence case, and he was upfront and honest on what the expectations were and how we were going to attack the case to win. I’m really thankful i was able to have Jamil on my side as he easily eased my concerns and won the case.

Best lawyer Ever, Unbelievable Outcome in Court, I'm so Grateful my case is Closed!

Jamil Khuja closed out my DUI violation of probation, a case that dragged out in Dearborn Court for 4 years, a case that appeared would never be over- Jams, counseling, MADD etc... All other lawyers did absolutely nothing. The Judge threw me in jail for 60 days for contempt of court, and then gave me more probation plus more Jams. I felt despair,until I retained Jamil as a lawyer. Jamil Khuja was brilliant in court! He was able to convince the judge to close my case with just paying fines. Jamil was professional, personable, polite, easy to talk to, down to earth. My case is now over! I'm so grateful!
