Outside of death and taxes, there is only one guarantee in life -- Majdi Hijazin is a commercial litigator for the ages. One thing you can’t teach is experience, and there are only a handful of attorneys his age with stops at Capitol Hill, the inside of just about every courtroom in Chicago, and the various administrative bodies to boot. To Mr. Hijazin, the law is not a profession; it is a search for truth.

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Hijazin possesses all the essential tools that make an excellent litigator. I have witnessed Mr. Hijazin take a "loser" case and turn it into a "winner" on numerous occasions. His ability to quickly and effectively analyze facts and precisely execute winning strategies is what makes Mr. Hijazin a highly sought after litigation attorney.

Majdi has the kind of experience that you want in a lawyer. He has achieved some amazing goals and has been involved in some very high profile cases. His work is top of the line and I highly recommend him.

Mr. Hijazin is a dedicated professional who always seems to have his client's best interests at heart. He is a tireless advocate who seeks to advance his client's cause. As a fellow attorney, he has been an invaluable resource for strategic and procedural advice.

Great knowledge regarding the liquor laws both inside and outside Chicago. He helped me close a deal that hinged on a liquor license issue.
Ahmad Sulaiman, Litigation Attorney on May 18, 2009

I have worked with Attorney Hijazin for four years. In those four years I have yet to find an Attorney more in tune with his Client's interests. He consistently watches out and protects his Client's interests. He is agressive but fair, and whether he is Plaintiff's counsel or Defendant's counsel he garners and earns the respect of all parties involved. He is the kind of Attorney that other Attorneys turned to for help and guidance. He takes the time to nurture the next generation of Attorneys with a selflessness that inspires other Attorneys to do the same. His devotion to the principal that an Attorney must act with the highest fiduciary duty to their Client is admirable.
