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.

Redefining Counselor...

When one thinks of the term counselor, they typically think of a therapist or shrink, or at least I do. Merriam Webster gives 3 definitions of counselor: 1: a person who gives advice or counseling <marriage counselor> 2: lawyer; specifically : one that gives advice in law and manages cases... for clients in court 3: one who has supervisory duties at a summer camp AJ fulfills 2 of these 3 definitions. He gives more than just legal advice, he gives solid life advice. If you have found yourself needing an attorney, you more than likely have some chaos going on in your life. AJ provides stable and sound personal advice as well as stellar legal advice! Always listen to AJ, follow his rules and you will be okay. Regarding response time. AJ makes himself available. He is not one of these attorneys that hides behind a secretary and takes off of work every Friday to go out of town. If you call him, he answers. If he is in court, he calls you back. If you email him, he responds. It is not uncommon for him to provide his cell phone. He makes himself available after hours and on weekends if deemed necessary. Don't abuse it! AJ talks too much; get used to it. In summary, AJ is passionate about what he does. He lives by the motto that a client has hired him to represent them in an area that they are completely ignorant and naive. This means, we, the clients, have someone knowledgeable about the law, who takes pride in what they do and ultimately doesn't like to lose or fail. Most importantly, he abides by what I consider life's moral standards. He is simply an overall good guy who would give you the shirt off of his back if you are worthy or in need. I have referred many to AJ over the years. The latest referral thanked me many times throughout his legal journey for giving him AJ's information. His final thank you message on 06/13/2013 read, "THANK YOU for the referral to AJ! He is so awesome and killed it in court today...we won!"
