A Blessing from God!

We read online reviews on Afif Jebara and decided to take a chance in contacting him. AJ was compassionate and understanding of my case. He was flexible in arranging our meetings so that my aunt could drive me from Houston, TX when I was able to. He worked tirelessly to help me win custody of my daug...hter, as well as to attain a divorce. This was a very difficult case since the father appealed the case, but AJ worked very hard to win our case. My family and I are so appreciative that we found this great man.

One of a kind.

When I realized I needed an attorney, I “interviewed “ 6 different potentials.they were all the same,rushing me,cutting off my sentences,not really interested, and giving the impression they didn’t really care...that seems to be a common trait among some attorneys. However in my unique situation, ...a truly evil woman was trying to take my kids away for me permanently because I fell in love with another woman four years after our divorce. My 1st consultation with Afif lasted from 9:30am-5:30 pm.he was attentive, interested, and wanted to hear everything,every piece of evidence I had! He wanted a timeline of the events that transpired, wanted to know about my children, and me,what I did for a living, things I cared about, what I truly wanted out of his services...it was UNREAL. An attorney who actually CARED! When you do need an attorney sometimes you actually need a “legal gladiator”, someone who knows legal WAR.Afif or AJ as I’ve come to know him,LIVES FOR IT. He took my case because I proved my innocence to him, and with that proof,he went in the courtroom battled “PURE EVIL”...and flat out embarrassed her.(she even lost her temper in the courthouse!) I’m happy to say I have my children, Which is the greatest gift this world could ever give,and I will always consider AJ one of my dearest friends.He is a person of unquestionable character and morals he will not take every case but if he takes your case, you can rest assured knowing that he will not rest! you will be his top priority his billing is more than fair and he will know every detail about your case backwards and forwards, it will keep him up at night, and I believe that’s what you want a person who cares as much about your life, and how this case will affect you ,as you do.When he needs to be, he is absolutely ruthless and it’s a beautiful thing to witness.Hes very professional and I believe more attorneys should aspire to be like him.AJ is truly One of a kind. -Sincerley Thankful Dad

An Honest and Great Attorney!!!

AJ is a fantastic attorney. I have retained AJ’s services to represent my case for the last two years. He has delivered on every aspect regarding my divorce, custody and visitations issues. AJ is an honest lawyer and one that truly goes above and beyond for his clients. I cannot be happier with t...he results of my case. I HIGHLY recommend anyone looking for an honest attorney to represent them regarding family law to retain AJ’s services.

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!

Divorce

I would like to first thank him for everything he did for me in this matter. On our first visit, we consulted, he was very thorough with his duties as a lawyer, he was very understanding to my case and he was very welcoming on handling it.... He explained everything piece by piece, so that I understo...od what was needed. He made me feel comfortable as a client while everything was being taken care of. I would recommend him to anyone that's in need of any matter that he can represent you for, because he will do great in getting the job done.
