Great lawyer!

From the very beginning, my experience with Karim was nothing short of exceptional—he was a true lifeline during one of the most difficult and prolonged periods of my life. Karim is a brilliant divorce attorney whose command of the law was evident at every stage of my case. He navigated an incredi...bly complex divorce with precision, strategy, and confidence, always staying several steps ahead. Beyond his own expertise, Karim built an outstanding team around me. Every professional involved was top-notch, coordinated, and clearly aligned with my best interests. Karim is not only an excellent lawyer but also a savvy businessman. His understanding of the financial and strategic implications of each decision proved invaluable and directly benefited my long-term outcome. His support staff deserves special recognition—responsive, organized, and genuinely helpful. I always felt supported and informed, never left wondering what was happening or what came next. Throughout the process, I was stunned by how many unscrupulous attorneys we encountered on the other side. In contrast, Karim always took the high road. He remained ethical, principled, and professional, even when provoked, never compromising his integrity. Karim is kind, thoughtful, generous, and deeply caring. He treated me not just as a client, but as a friend going through an emotionally exhausting experience. His compassion made an enormous difference. This case was a five-year slog—long, draining, and often brutal. Not once did Karim become weary, negative, or discouraged. His steady resolve and positive outlook never wavered, no matter how challenging the day’s battle had been. I am eternally grateful that Karim represented me. He fought tirelessly for me, protected my interests, and made sure I was seen, heard, and ultimately taken care of. His dedication and integrity had a profound positive impact on my life and my future. If you are facing divorce and want an attorney who is brilliant, ethical, compassionate, and relentless in the best possible way, I cannot recommend Karim highly enough.

100% Satisfied and Grateful

Mr, El-Ghazzawy always looked out for my best interest advocating on my behalf. His professionalism in all matters and ability to work with opposing council enabled the process to always move forward. He has an outstanding professional staff that communicated with clarity and was always helpful, no ...small task as I was located overseas.

Excellent Divorce Attorney- Gets the job done!!!

I was shocked when my husband asked for a divorce after 25 years together. I knew I needed to find a very good attorney because my ex husband was a very successful trial attorney. I knew this wasn’t going to be an easy divorce process . A mutual friend (also an attorney) referred me to Karim. Her w...ords, “He will get you what you need. He’ll get the job done. “ From the very first phone call to the very last Karim worked with me as if my divorce was a major priority. There were times when he knew how incredibly stressed I was and told me to just reach out to him or his staff if I needed to talk. Karim is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. His calm demeanor and his expertise in divorce law speak for themselves. Karim and his staff did more than get the job done. They kept my case from going to court and I was able to keep everything I valued and more. I wouldn’t think twice before hiring Karim. You definitely want him representing you and not your soon to be ex spouse.

Highly recommend KEG

Karim recently helped through the worst time of my life - a divorce after 24 years of marriage. I am so lucky to have found him. From the first time we talked, he was kind, caring and professional. I went into the process knowing very little about my financial situation and the divorce process. Karim... and his team and Mitch Hiley (trusted financial advisor) were very patient and made sure I knew and understood everything that was going on from start to finish. He always asked me how my two boys and I were doing and gave me great life advice. We settled in mediation where Karim calmly and ethically fought for a great outcome. I couldn't have been happier. Thank you Karim!

Excellence

Karim picked up my case after several long delays in the process forced my first attorney to drop out. Despite a pretty short timeframe before the case went to trial, Karim was able to master the facts and put together a plan for trial. At trial, Karim was able to pull out the facts and demonstrate t...o the court that my former spouse's wild false allegations were clearly not credible. He also managed to impeach some faulty and irresponsible expert reports, which fell apart completely under cross-examination. The court decided the case based on only the credible evidence, and I prevailed on literally every issue in the case, from large to small. At all times, I felt like Karim was putting the best interests of my children first. Karim is a person of unimpeachable integrity, and that comes across in court. Karim was also very communicative - I felt at all times that I was up to speed on where we were and what we needed to accomplish.
