I Highly Recommend Mr. Sulaiman

I stumbled upon Sulaiman Law Group researching foreclosure advise and options online. With little knowledge, I made a consultation appointment with them and met with Ahmad just a few days later. What a great guy! Right off the bat I was impressed by his listening skills (a skill I have yet to master).... I explained to him my situation and threw nearly a hundred questions at him. He answered each one thoroughly and I never felt rushed at any time. I've never needed legal advice before, but I was expecting to feel pressured or talked down to, even if just slightly. It couldn't have been anymore the opposite. Ahmad is one of the easiest persons to talk to I have ever met and I left the room feeling confident with a wealth of information that I took away from our meeting. It didn't end quite there as I left our meeting with a complimentary book Ahmad said he co-wrote. I thought that was very cool, a souvenir maybe... but am I going to read this?? Later that night I decided to skim through a couple pages, which turned into my entire night because I could not put it down. This is a very well written book with straight-forward and simple to read answers to questions vital to the foreclosure process and more. I also used it many times after as reference throughout the process. All said and done, I feel very fortunate that I found and chose Sulaiman Law Group and I highly recommend them and Ahmad to anyone in need of legal aid. Thank You!

Client

Mr. Sulaiman and his team first helped my husband and I through our bankruptcy process. We approached his team very unsure of what route to take due to a couple of investment properties that were ruining our credit and felt like there was no way out. From day one with meeting with Mr. Sulaiman we fel...t such ease and confidence in his guidance. His staff was wonderful and always was available for any and all questions and concerns we had. This was a very difficult time for my husband and I and each time we had our meetings with Mr. Sulaiman we felt confident in our decisions and assured that we were making the right choices. A few years later we needed the assistance again from the Sulaiman team to assist us with a possible foreclosure on our home. The Sulaiman team once again handled our case with great care and exceptional expertise. I would highly recommend this firm!

Ahmad Sulaiman and His Staff Are Amazing

If only all attorneys were like Mr. Sulaiman, we could all look forward to times when we need legal help. I had been perhaps two thirds of the way through a foreclosure when my attorney just dropped off the face of the earth. Although she had often told me what a good deal she was giving me and what ...a great attorney she was, her representation cost me thousands of dollars and did nothing to mitigate my stress. When she replied to my request for an update on my case with a terse, "I'll call you when I have something," I dutifully kept paying my assessment$, and tried to not worry. After a couple of months of unreturned texts, I found that her phone was disconnected. I called the mortgage company directly for an update. Since their records showed my apparently former attorney as still representing me, they would not tell me anything about my case. That's when I became not just stressed but afraid. Will I need to start all over? Was anything done my former attorney in my best interest? How much more is this mess going to cost me? Then I did what I should have done at the very beginning. I searched online for a foreclosure attorney. I found this site and Mr. Sulaiman. I trusted the reviews of his prior clients and sent an inquiry to his office. From that moment on, I could breathe a huge sigh of relief. They made an appointment for me the day after we spoke. Mr. Sulaiman was everything you could want in an attorney. He was warm, kind, knowledgeable. Thorough, informative and patient. We drank cups of tea while he explained the status of my case. He listened to me and treated me only with respect. I had hoped that he would be willing to take my case although, hopefully, the process was nearly complete. Instead, he had found records showing that my foreclosure was done, what comes next and how to protect myself from possible future ramifications. He even gave me information about repairing my credit, how to deal with my former attorney and a copy of his book. All of this for one very reasonable consultation fee. If he had charged me ten times as much, I would have still felt it was fair and worthwhile. It is safe to say that not only is he an excellent attorney, he has a better sense of customer service than any other professional I have dealt with. Each person on his staff was helpful, kind and professional even though the office was busy as a beehive. That is no accident. I have studied what businesses operating within a framework of trust, respect and responsibility should look like. I'm happy to say I've finally seen one. Thank you!

Posted by Curt | November 29, 2013 | Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Extremely knowledgeable, honest and compassionate

My wife and I found ourselves in a financial crisis when I lost my job and was required to supplement income utilizing credit card cash advances; in addition my wife incurred significant medical bills when the insurance company reneged on their committment to pay a large hospital bill. Bankruptcy... was something we had never considered but after spending over $18,000 annually on minimum monthly credit card payments and facing the reality that I would never be able to pay back the credit card debt we finally investigated that last resort. I contacted the major banks and asked for an affordable repayment plan but my request fell on deaf ears. After meeting with two bankruptcy attorneys and receiving sketchy information as to how the whole process works we made an appointment with Mr. Sulaiman. We explained our situation and he and his professional staff outlined all of our options through a very detailed strategic planning session; at the end of the meeting we knew exactly what are options were and what steps would required of my wife and as well as the law firm. We filed Chapter 7 and now nearly a year later we are completely credit card debt free. In less than a year my credit score went from 546 after the Chapter 7 filing to 697. We now receive pre-approved credit card and auto loan offers and we can finally start saving for our retirement again thanks to this law firm. I have already recommended them to a family member who will soon be on the road to financial recovery as well, thanks to Mr. Sulaiman and his extremely knowledgable staff.
