Great lawyer

Amil Alkass helped me divorce my wife. Great lawyer, efficient, professional and a pro in court. Would recommend.

Unresponsive

Do not hire this lawyer if you want a lawyer who is timely and responsible. I spoke to Amil on the phone on May 1 to hire him as my immigration lawyer. He said he would send me an email. I never received it and I tried to call, leave voicemails, send text messages, only to be ghosted and ignored by h...im. Now two weeks have passed and still didn’t hear from him. When I threatened to write this bad review, he responded immediately saying it was due to tech issues. I think that’s just bullsh*t. If he cared for his client, he would have tried to contact me. I unfortunately will hire someone else.

The GOAT

Amil Alkass helped me get custody of my 3 children from an abusive and narcissistic ex. He was professional in court and updated me on what was going on with my case. easy to talk to and very personable. I would recommend.

Great to work with

Represent me in a divorce. Great and easy to work with. Easy to talk to and get a hold off. Gave me his cell phone number too. Got my child support stopped and didn't have to pay old support. Highly recommend this guy.
