Would Hire Again

AJ was recommended to me by a family member. After our initial consultation, AJ was very knowledgeable about my case. He was accommodating while working around my crazy life schedule to meet when needed and was always easy to get in contact with. During all meetings he was professional and personable.... He took the time to get to know me as a person and showed that he truly cares about his clients. During trial AJ proved to have wealth of knowledge about the legal system and represented me with class. I would hire AJ again in a heartbeat!

Answered Prayers!

Mr AJ is so caring, knowledgeable, and persistent! He went above and beyond to make sure I was thoroughly prepared for my child custody case and he followed through without a doubt, my children are safe with me because of his persistence and I will be forever grateful for that! He has a way of making... you feel like family and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a family law attorney!!!!

Excellent

My experience with Mr. Jebara was excellent. I felt comfortable knowing that he was handling my case. Not only was he very accurate, he was also very prompt. I found him to be easy to get in touch with, very knowledgeable and polite.

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.

The Best Attorney Ever!!

From the first day I walked into AJ's office he was absolutely amazing. Not only did he give me the legal advise I needed he gave me comfort to know that everything will work out. He would stay up late and wake up early just to make sure all my paperwork was perfect and in order. I don't know how bu...t even with all his other cases going on he never fell short on mine. My case became part of his life not just mine. There was never a time that I could not reach him he was always there for me when I needed his advise. By the end of my case he no longer was just my attorney he was like part of my family. AJ was the only person that stood in my corner and always fought for me and my best interest. I have never heard of or met such a honest and loyal attorney. I highly recommend him for any legal services needed.
