excellent divorce representation

Karim El-Ghazzawy and the staff at El-Ghazzawy law offices paid close attention to my case. They were prepared, organized and made a difficult situation better every time. From the first consultation I felt like my case was important and Karim was acting in my best interest. I learned what to exp...ect and how best to proceed at every step of the divorce process. El-Ghazzawy law offices and their network of experts helped me get the best result from a complicated case and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Family Law Attorney

Karim and his talented team provided unparalleled expertise and compassion during my dissolution of marriage. While this process can be very emotional, Team Karim managed the process efficiently, coordinated logistics with the other attorney and courts, and communicated daily as trusted advisors to ...keep me informed and guide me through critical decisions. It truly was an honor to have Karim represent me; he is so well respected by the Judicial system, other attorneys and the Financial Neutral practice at Baker Tilly. Additionally, his legal prowess on complicated matters resulted in favorable rulings on my behalf. In my opinion, Karim is the creme de la creme of attorneys in Family Law in Minnesota!

worst attorney

Karim charged me close to $40,000 for my divorce and custody hearing and did pretty much nothing. He did not prepare me for any of the court hearings or mediation meetings. He did not have any strategy and did not explain the law and what to expect. The only thing he said was to say positive thing...s and that did not work at all. I do not believe he knows the law well and he does not know what arguments the court expects to hear. he is the worst attorney.

worst attorney

I hired Karim for my divorce and also a legal custody court hearing. He is a really bad attorney, who charges more than $400/hr. He did not prepare me for my SENE meeting and sent his assistant with me to the meeting, who was useless. As a result of that, I lost the battle for physical custody. K...arim did never explain the procedures and the reasoning behind what he was doing. I suspect he himself had no clue. He was also useless in the legal custody hearing and he lost the case. The loss of my legal custody had a significant negative impact on my kids, which I have to deal with for many years to come. I paid Karim close to $50,000 and I can comfortably say I would have done a better job myself if I was representing myself.
