About Khaled
Biography
I believe that everyone should have quality legal representation regardless of what led them to walk into my office. Every client deserves my full attention and to have questions answered, especially in times of turmoil, which is often the case after someone has been charged with a crime or involved in a serious accident. No two attorneys are alike and it is important that those in need of an attorney are aware of that. I strive to ensure that those who come to me know they are not just "hiring" me, but they are also getting someone who will stand in their corner just like a friend or family member would.
I'm passionate about criminal law and personal injury litigation and it's what drives me to ensure that no stone is left unturned and no option is left out when defending an individual accused of a crime, whether it be a minor speeding violation or a Class X violent felony. I also believe that everyone injuried in an accident should have someone who will advocate for them vigorously and with the utmost care and attention.
Knowing that everyone has an individual story and that everyone and every case are never the same, I make sure that they get a defense tailored to who they are and their specific case, which ensures an outcome that will allow them to continue their pursuits in life.

Grateful
I waited till the last minute and needed a lawyer to help me handle my case. Issa Law was the only firm willing to help me on such a short notice, and took care of everything I needed. I couldn’t be more grateful for the service I was given.

Excellent knowledgeable attorney
We were not referred by anyone to this lawyer. He is professional in every way, from the inital consult through to the end. Khaled was always in contact and responded to calls and emails within a very short time. I would highly recommend him as he is a knowledgeable and trustworthy attorney.
