Karim G El-Ghazzawy

I preface this by saying I am an attorney myself, so have little tolerance for inefficiency, lack of knowledge and suspect billing practices. Karim, and his staff, Christy, Tracy and a great consulting accountant led me thru a complicated, painful and difficult divorce. Simply everything they did was... above and beyond what I had anticipated. Karim was smooth, respectful and professional with opposing counsel, and at our number of arbitrations w/ the arbitrator, who also clearly respected him. He was able to put together a settlement that made me very, very happy after negotiating several perilous legal issues, which were all resolved in our favor. His billings were fair and precise, and he advised me where and when we could cut costs. He advised me on issues outside of the divorce, and continues to do so to this day. I was unfathomably lucky to have found him, and have recommended him to anyone in a similar position.

A friend who had worked with Karim described him to me as the Buddha with a Bite, and that couldn't be more accurate. He's wise, patient, listening, counseling, caring and experienced. He knew what to give, and when to push. And when it was the time to push, did he! Not in a shark-ish way, but in... a strategic manner that represented me well and got things done. Beyond his legal acumen, I appreciated his ethics, especially compared to the opposing attorney who simply wanted to draw things out to make it financially painful. Karim always started each conversation asking how I and my children were doing, and ended each one encouraging me to take the high road, treat my wife with courtesy and pay attention to my children's feelings throughout the process. Plus, he sincerely sought to find the best / fastest path to resolution because he wanted to preserve the wealth of my family, not build his. And at the end, he achieved a very good divorce settlement for me. Karim and his firm are just great. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I hired Karim to handle a very complicated divorce case after I had worked with two different attorneys prior to him and they failed me. Karim is extremely intelligent, very proactive and very clam. I felt form start to finish that I am in good and honest hands. I knew, all along, Karim will do his ...best for me. Hands down he is one of the best family law attorney's in the State of MN and beyond. He is very reasonable in his billing and extremely fair. Divorce cases are never fun but working with Karim was a relief and I could have not asked for a better outcome.

Karim El-Ghazzawy is an excellent attorney. He understood the complexities of our case and my goal of the well-being of the children. He helped me navigate the system with a solid understanding of the law. We were able to settle our case out of court. If we had gone to court, Karim is an amazing tria...l attorney. I know that I would have been in good hands with Karim if we had ended up in court.

Excellent and devoted law firm. Karim and the whole El-Ghazzawy Law Offices team are extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated to helping their clients. Responses were always very timely. The whole team always made me feel like they cared and they followed through with all the plans we discussed.... I highly recommend Karim and his team.
