Stay away from this attorney
I hired this attorney for my case but she didn't do much, kept saying be patient. I was patient for almost a year and found out it was a big waste of time. She neglected my case and because of this my little one suffered a lot. On top of it, with no shame, she sued me for work she claims she did. Eve...
I am sorry you feel this way. You brought these complaints before the Judge and the Judge listened to everything you had to say and found our fees reasonable for the work done. I am sorry you are so unhappy.
"Mervate and I are in a small, national practice management group. We have had many professional conversations the past year. I would certainly refer anyone I know in Illinois to her for legal advice and representation! Sincerely, Mark P. Yablon"
"Mervate Mohammad is a hard-working and skilled attorney. She is developing a reputation among lawyers in her community as being the go-to attorney when it comes to issues of family law. I would be happy to recommend her services to anyone."
"Mervate is a great attorney. She manages to balance her full workload to give each client her full attention. Mervate advocates for each client's rights while remaining efficient and realistic on the likely results of each case and not allowing the clients to over-spend their budgets."
"I first met Mervate when she came into a contested child custody, visitation, and guardianship proceeding in which I was already involved. Frankly, her client stood little chance of prevailing before she came into the case, because the law and the facts did not favor him. Mervate gave her client the advice, both legal and factual, he needed to obtain much of the relief he wanted. I am certain her efforts led to the results obtained. Since then we have shared legal advice on a number of topics. I am always impressed by her preparation, experience and knowledge. I happily recommend that people consult and retain her."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mervate is a competent attorney, and very well-versed in family law issues. I highly recommend her services."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mervate on several cases and she has always been a pleasure to work with. Her professional demeanor and commitment to her clients is obvious, and her skills in the courtroom unmatched. I would not hesitate to call Mervate for any of my legal issues."
"Mervate is my go to lawyer for any Family Law issues. She is a hard working attorney who will fight for her clients rights. Highly recommended."
"Mervate is an ambitious and professional attorney that always exceeds expectations. She has my strong recommendation."
