Highly Recommend

Eli was referred to me after I sought out legal advice from another attorney who refused to take my case. From the start, Eli was completely understanding, supportive, and empathetic. Going through the legal system is scary and nerve wracking, but Eli was unbelievably reassuring every step of the way.... He did a great job answering every question I had and would even call to check in on how I was doing. He put together a wonderful portfolio of documents and information to present to the judge to help support my case. He was more than willing to go above and beyond to make me feel at ease and give me peace of mind. He is honest, tells it how it is, and prepared me for what to expect in the court room. I am very pleased with the extraordinary level of service that Eli provided. I would highly recommend him and very much enjoyed working with him. I seriously could not say enough good things about Eli. We still stay in touch even though my sentencing date has passed.

If you are looking for a skilled, compassionate and dedicated defense lawyer, I highly recommend Elias Muawad. He makes himself available to answer any questions and is very honest and precise with his responses. He goes out of his way to ensure an aggressive defense and has a team who is willing to... do the same. Highly recommend

Hands down the best criminal lawyer money can hire!!

Eli is the best criminal law attorney I have ever delt with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a great price, the...n go to Eli.

Elias is Amazing and a Blessing

Elias did an amazing job we hired him for our son. Elias knew exactly what and how to move forward and saved my son. He is a very busy man but he gets the job done so sometimes, if he cannot return a call…don’t be angry….you cannot expect him to be on every phone call or text…even I., myself had to... come to terms with this at times when I was scared. When we are on the other end ; we sometimes forget & when we are dealing with fear or anxiety with all the legal situations , we tend to in these times want the attorney to be at reach at all times..when we want them to be…and people need to understand that they too have families & other clients & a lot of court cases just because our phones are at hands reach, does not mean he has to answer….in this day and age ..it does not mean that they have to as attorneys be there on text or on call 24/7. So please give the guy a break & try to relax if he cannot get back to you right away he is still doing his job. And I cannot stress enough how wonderful Elias is; our outcome was amazing & Elias really came through for our family. And he has become very close to our hearts. We are all so Thankful for Elias. He has more than did an outstanding job. He worked a miracle. Elias knows the system very well! Thank you Elias for everything! God bless you.

Best criminal defense attorney !!!

At first, I was very skeptical to hire Elias , truth to be told . No other reason than , as a foreigner /immigrant , I didn’t know much about the law and what to expect on a criminal case , therefore it was hard for me to make a decision . However , I can tell ANYONE looking for a great knowled...geable and very experienced attorney that Elias is the one to be hired! I’m extremely glad and content today to find out that was the best decision I took on my personal matter . I’m so happy that the hearsay’s about Elias and all the reviews were 100% true ! Elias is very attentive , realistic, patient with his client , listening , always available and helpful till the end of your case , unlike others attorney . Plus, you can be sure he’s always on top of the matter . His approach is really genuine . Unlike other attorney he won’t tell you what you want to hear but nothing else but the truth , to make sure you can be prepared to any outcome . And that’s the reason I can say today , I feel blessed that I had followed his instructions and advices until I was done with my case ; because he indeed proved me how much he fought for me and how much efforts he had to make to get me the best outcome I could expect . It was very worth to be patient and let him do what he knows best ! I’d definitely recommend to anybody who has a criminal case going on to hire Elias. You won’t be disappointed .
