Genius

My hat is off to Huma, I honestly didn't see any way we were going to win this trial. But as the name implies "Holistic Winning Strategies" Huma used the details of the case and came in with multiple attack angles that weren't revealed to the very last moment of the trial. The entire court room was b...lown away when the words "Not Guity" were said.. Huma is extremely knowledgeable and has a never die attitude, my entire family is thankful for her hard work and dedication to my case. Thank you Huma.

Highest level of competence

Huma Rashid is an attorney you need should you be facing serious problems. She assisted my son with his issues in many different manners. Huma not only displays intelligence and competence, she has a very keen sense of depicting anxiousness and despair, which triggers compassion and support to you ...at meetings, court hearings and telephone conversations. This is so appreciated when being faced with the enormous problems at hand. In addition Huma's level of competence results in positive outcomes! My son was granted probation. The commitment, dedication and intelligence Ms. Rashid possesses is truly a gift to you. Without hesitation, Huma Rashid can help you with your criminal problems and will be a valuable asset for you!

Compassionate & Professional

Huma Rashid just recently represented a close family member of mine for charges of Tax Evasion and Fraud. Each charge held a maximum five-year prison sentence. Huma and Raymond Wigell were a true blessing to my family. Huma has such a kind and compassionate demeanor. She never once made my family... member feel defeated or not worthy of a fair sentence. Huma took an enormous amount of time and effort making sure every detail was included in his mitigation packet which was a huge part of the sentencing process. She answered every question he had regardless of how simple it might have seemed. Throughout the process, I had contact with Huma on a few occasions for different requests. Every request was explained thoroughly with a reason behind it. I was fortunate enough to meet Huma in person the day of sentencing. I could tell she was gracious and professional via e-mails, but meeting her in person allowed me to finally meet this astounding woman who helped my family through its most trying time. I have had interactions with other attorneys, both professional and personal and I can tell you not a single one can compare to Huma and Raymond. If you are being faced with charges of a serious crime committed, I highly recommend Ms. Rashid to represent you. We are beyond elated and blessed with the outcome of our personal experience. No prison time was given, rather probation. Please don’t look elsewhere, Ms. Rashid can provide everything you need to get you the results you are looking for.

Huma is the best!

When we hired Huma I had no hope regarding my case. I was facing very serious charges with mandatory prison time. Huma was a life saver for me. Not only did I avoid prison time, but I also avoided a felony conviction on my record. I would recommend Huma to anyone looking for a positive, hard-working ...lawyer that will get best results possible. Great lawyer, better person!

Excellent lawyer

Huma Rashid represented my uncle in court. My uncle is a registered professional professional nurse that was indicted under two class 2 felonies for theft for allegedly stealing hours from the hospital he was working in at the time. I met Huma one day when I went to court to support my uncle. She is... a very professional, compassionate and knowledgeable individual. She was always postitive and reassuring during the entire process. Huma would always explain to us the exact details of how the case was going and what to expect next. After various months of court, Huma put together a mitigation packet with key documents that they had from discovery and were submitted to the state. The State's attorney agreed to drop both felony charges to one misdemeanor with probation. As a result, my uncle was cleared of any wrongdoing and his nursing license remained active without any suspensions. My family and I are so grateful to Huma for her expertise, knowledge, professionalism, and excellence.
