Formally Frustrated Father

When I first had my consultation with AJ I was dealing with a very abrasive ex-wife. She would call, text, and generally harass me in anyway possible. I had been recently laid off from my job due to the downturn in the oilfield and she decided that it was a good time to take me to court over the cust...ody of my child. I met with AJ and gave him the rundown of the situation, and he immediately gave me advice on how to handle communications with her. We started working on our case and preparing from day one. Over the next few months he helped me build a strong defense to use to keep time with my child. The only person who worked on my case was AJ. Not a paralegal. He knew every piece of evidence, every note, talking points, all of it. He was always organized and prepared in our meetings, and always down to earth. He would always keep an open line of communication with me even after I had returned to work which made our preparation very strained due to limited access to communication on my end. He would email anything he would receive from her lawyer or the courts. There were even times that I awoke to an email from him, sent as early as 3:00am. We met the day before trail to prepare. We went over everything that may happen, looked at what we prepared, and made me feel ready to deal with the stress of the next day. The day of court we had all we needed to defend custody of my child. All the preparation paid off as he successfully argued my case. I ended up with more time with my child and peace of mind. In my opinion, AJ is the best lawyer around. He personally invests in his clients well being. There is no other lawyer that even comes close in my book. I have already recommended his services to all of my friends who are in need.

Outstanding service, honest, fair, and extremely hardworking

I do not think I could have gotten better legal service. AJ assisted me with my divorce and custody needs in a quick and honest fashion. Everything went so smoothly and the results were amazing. He offered me a fair price, was constantly available, kept me in the loop every step of the day way, and w...orked hard to get the best results for my family. Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!!

A DETERMINED LAWYER

My fiance and I had the pleasure to use Mr. Jebara's services for a custody battle. Mr. AJ was a very informative, knowledgeable, and more importantly, a very detailed and determined lawyer. Mr. AJ was very kind, thorough, and extremely understanding of our situation. He never hesitated to roll up hi...s sleeves and work on our case. He is reasonable, approachable, and has a good relationship with the courts. My fiance and I learned quickly that as reasonable as Mr. AJ is, he is by no means a pushover. He fought like a bulldog for our case because as he put it, "It's the right thing to do." Mr. Jebara makes sure you understand the step-by-step processes of the court systems and actions needed. A lot of emotions, sweat, dedication and hard work was put into our case by us and our lawyer. We have the utmost respect for this lawyer, and I think anyone whom uses his services will be highly pleased.

Honest attorney

Mr. Jebara is a fair and honest and knowledgeable attorney. He has represented me on two different occasions and I was extremely pleased with the service and respect that he showed to me. I would and have recommended him and will continue to do so. He does communicate throughout the process and will ...answer any questions you may have. With this attorney you never have to wonder where you stand in a case. He works long and hard to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
