Unsatisfactory Experience

Based on my personal experience, I was not satisfied with the service I received. I felt that the communication lacked professionalism, and I was often uncomfortable and under pressure during our interactions. I also felt that my concerns were not fully understood or respected, especially regardin...g my divorce case. Overall, it was a stressful experience for me. I would not choose to work with this lawyer again.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Mehdi is a great lawyer. He helped me navigate through the most difficult time of my life. He is not only an attorney but a great mentor as well. He is very reasonable with his fees. He has handled my divorce case in the best way possible. He is an excellent communicator and will let you know all... the facts and possible outcomes of your case. He is a person of high morals and ethics. I highly recommend him to anyone. You will be glad if he takes your case! I am very grateful for everything he has done for me. My best regards to brother Mehdi and his team!

More than just a Lawyer

Mr Cherkaoui is truly a stand up professional. After finding myself in a legal quandary, I turned to him for legal counsel. I was dealt with compassion, understanding and patience. Mr Cherkaoui reassured me of my legal standing every step of the way and ensured I maintained my moral compass. I... did not need a lawyer that just knew the law. I needed someone that knew how to apply the law and help me navigate the legal process.
