Tarek Shawky

I ended up in a situation where I needed legal support. I had all the concerns, where do I go for help? Will I be given correct information? Will the attorney be to busy and pawn me off to some paralegal? Will the attorney answer my questions and be easy to follow up with? I was fearful because I ...had never been in this kind of situation. Upon speaking with Tarek I could sense he was genuinely concerned about my well being. Tarek took the time to answer all of my questions as well as guide me through potential possibilities. He is extremely intelligent and he provided me information I would need to take the next steps with confidence. It was also easy to follow up with him when additional concerns arose. I never had to wait to long for a call back or speak to some assistant. This was a breath of fresh air for me, most offices made it difficult to work with an attorney. Considering all the attorneys I reached out to I felt most comfortable with Tarek. In addition to being patient this gentleman is a really kind and professional person coming from great place in his heart, he really wants to make sure that we are aware of our rights, are treated fairly and defended diligently. I will continue to seek out his services if I ever need to.

After a night drinking in Pasadena I made the unfortunate decision to get behind the wheel. I was pulled over by CHP. I got a ticket for drinking and driving. I refused the Alcohol test required by law after I failed a preliminary test with a BAC of .191 thinking it would hurt me more than help. I co...ntacted Tarek with my situation coming highly suggested to my father from his friend. He was compassionate to my situation and believed he could help my case. I hired him for the DMV portion of my case as well as the criminal portion. He was always professional and on time to all court appearances. He ended up getting my DUI charge reduced to a Wet and Reckless. This also decreased the time required for classes and fees, with no jail time. He went above and beyond offering to expunge my case and doing several other things for me attorneys would usually charge for. I am extremely thankful to Tarek for helping me. I have since referred several other people to him as a result of his success with my own case.

Tarek helped us out when I was in a jam. I had never been in trouble before and I was shocked when I got arrested and charged for a traffic accident. I was facing a serious felony with possible prison time and I felt overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. I'm a full time mom with kids and I could not aff...ord to go to jail. Tarek helped me get bailed out and was very patient and understanding every step of the way. He walked me through the difficult process and always took my calls, day or night and answered all my questions whenever I needed him. He fought for me in court and got my case reduced to a misdemeanor with no jail time. I was very happy with the result and with his service. I would absolutely recommend Tarek to help anyone who finds themselves dealing with a criminal case. His fee was fair and his work was excellent.

I met Tarek at an event in Pasadena, he seemed friendly and knowledgeable so I took his card. I never imagined I would need his services a few weeks later. I called him late one night after my friend got arrested at the bar. I called after hours, he took the call and took the time to give me a free ...consultation over the phone. The next day we met, I hired him and he was very professional and thorough and took care of everything from A to Z until the case settled in the best possible way. He is smart, he has great people skills and he's very friendly and kind. I recommend him whole-heartedly to anyone in a bind that needs a solid criminal lawyer. Thanks Tarek!
