Highly Recommended

Update! Ms. Kamal was the answer to my prayers! She's the best family law attorney I have had in 13 years. I wish I had hired her earlier. She knows the law and legal technicalities and embarrasses the counsel by just quoting the actual law and rules. She is highly knowledgeable and compassionate.... Her attention to detail and ability to control the situation set her apart from others. She was blunt and honest about my situation. Though that was not what I wanted to hear, she didn't give me any false hope. She represented me on two enforcement cases and oh boy! She got both lawsuits dismissed on the basis of legal technicalities. She lifted such a huge weight off my shoulders. She and her team was very persistent and strategic to helping me get the best possible outcome in my situation. Ms. Kamal and her hardworking team do so much at the backend when preparing for a hearing, leaving you at ease. During a very difficult time - it felt good to know this team was working on my behalf and did their utmost to make the outcome in my favor. I can't recommend her enough! Farah is very informative. She cleared up a lot of my confusions and answered all my questions and concerns in great details during our consultation. She was very understanding and helpful. I wish I had known about her when I was going through divorce 10 years ago. I will definitely be retaining her services when the time comes.

Farah Kamal took over my divorce case after my original attorney didn’t help me at all for a whole year. She went out of her way to help me through substitute counsel, which as I understand, that is a lot of extra work. She did a great job and moved forward very quickly. My ex-husband is very hard... to deal with and she helped me with negotiations with him and the sale of our house which was about to go into foreclosure. She explained everything to me very clearly and me feel like she truly cared about my life.

I was referred to Farah by a friend, I am glad I went to her with my case. She is on top of everything she does for her client. She really listens to each and every detail and prepare accordingly. She always answered my calls, text and emails promptly. I highly recommend her if you need a family l...awyer who is professional and compassionate. Thank you for everything you did for my case.

Mrs. Kamal was incredible to work with. She was extremely patient with me as my case was a bit complicated. She was thorough with me whenever I had questions. Although I had paid her a flat rate for my case, she still took out so much of her time to discuss things with me. She was quick to respond ba...ck. I highly recommend Mrs. Kamal. The divorce process is such a hard thing to go through and having her as my lawyer was not only reassuring but made the process so much more tolerable.

Recommended by EAP and Best Ever!

I was recommended by the EAP (Employee Assistance Program) for Federal Employees. I had a very complicated situation for my divorce due to my spouse being a non-citizen and in another country. Her vast knowledge has been very sharp and made sure I got the best in the end of the mediation. Not onl...y did she work hard to make sure every dollar count, she fought for me during my struggles of the Government Shutdown. When I was tight financially, she was willing to work out a payment plan. She made sure that I understood the process and the rights of both parties and the custody. Although she is straight forward and to the point, she is one of the most compassionate lawyers I have ever worked with. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help in Family law and Immigration. I have consulted with other law firms prior to her and she has left me a beautiful impression of what a true lawyer should be. Willing to fight for the client and for what is right! Thank you Farah! You are a marvelous person!
