Great professional and freindly Attorney

I was very pleased to work with Mehdi in my immigration case. He always provided the best counsel, kept closed communication with me and up to date with all relevant events. Whenever I had a question, Mehdi was very responsive and presented detailed answers with many options. In all, my experience... with Mehdi was smooth with successful results, and would highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable and aggressive defense

I retained Mr. Cherkaoui to represent me in a Lemon Law matter, for a vehicle which suffered complete engine failure two weeks after I purchased it used from a dealer. I attempted to work with the selling dealer and the manufacturer, but once the manufacturer rejected a warranty claim the selling dea...ler refused to pay to repair my vehicle, even though I had two other warranties from the dealership. They were willing to let me walk away without helping me. After retaining Mr. Cherkaoui, he negotiated with the dealership, and eventually the dealership agreed to repair my vehicle. Without his aggressive and thoughtful involvement, I would not have my vehicle today. If I have any other needs for personal injury or contract issues, I would retain his services again. He is a fine attorney, and I highly recommend him.

Immigration Services

Due to the unique circumstances of my immigration application, I took the time to speak to a few different immigration lawyers prior to committing. The cost for the service was standard with most firms I approached; consequently my decision on who to hire came down to whom I felt would have the most ...positive outcome on my case with USCIS. I decided on Mehdi and have had the most favorable outcome possible. I would highly recommend Mehdi (and have done) to anyone requiring a lawyer. The service provided was extremely professional, honest and well informed. The most impressive aspect being his ability to quickly identify the individual requirements requested and act on them so efficiently. In essence, what could have been an eight year wait for a green card has been reduced to six months. All due to Mehdi's quick and encyclopedic understanding of the specific circumstances.
