Posted by Venz | November 20, 2020 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Thank You!

Never in my craziest dreams I thought that I would ever need a lawyer, but found myself desperately needing one. One night we were unable to locate our daughter, only to receive a phone call hours later that she was in an accident, worse yet due to DUI. First i was shocked she would do something like... this, then relieved she did not hurt herself and others, then scared - where do we start with DUI. We were at a loss, and like so many we started googling to find information and help. With many available choices, we narrowed it down to 7 Law Offices based on reviews. I called them all, and zeroed in on Kareem Law. Why? Because not only did Attorney Kareem called me back right away, he was kind, approachable and non judgmental. He patiently listened and explained what could happen from beginning to what could be the conclusion, from DMV documents to court proceedings, and what happens was after, possible court and other fees - he explained the flow of things things to come. He did not sugarcoat or lied to make us feel better; instead, he was upfront and very clear of pros and cons. What he did is promise us that he will do everything he can to help our daughter. He kept the lines open, always patient and answered our questions, offered quiet assurance, and always responsive. He kept his word and delivered on his promise 200%. It was not all pretty as he clearly advised from the very beginning, but we are very happy with the outcome. He was able to reduce her charges to a misdemeanor and gave her a chance to a decent future. We are and will always be grateful for all his help, his kindness, professionalism, and knowledge. I really hope that there wont be a need for his help in the future, but if the need arise, he will be our first call.

Posted by Laura | August 29, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

A Lawyer who not only fights for you but cares

Back in 2018, I was involved in an incident that resulted in child endangerment and domestic violence charges filed against me. As a woman, I felt that the officers treated me unfairly because I was the one who called 911 and I knew I was not the aggressor. It was a scary time for me because I knew n...othing about what to do and I knew if I was found guilty I would lose my career as a teacher. Out of all the law offices, I called Kareem was the only lawyer who took my call seriously. He encouraged me to come into the office and speak in person about the situation. Kareem didn’t rush me, instead, he listened very carefully to everything I had to share. I told him I was a victim of a previous domestic violence case and he immediately said to me that he would do everything in his power to make sure I would not be found guilty of these charges. It took almost two years of Kareem fighting for me in Court but he finally got the DA office to throw out the case. Kareem truly cared about fighting for me and I am so happy with how it all ended.

DUI Charge Dismissed + Helmandollar Plea

I was charged with a DUI this year, a horrible experience. I hired Kareem and he was able to get my DUI charge dismissed and reduced down to a dry reckless conviction. After I did some research I found out how rare of an outcome I got my case, but the best part of it all was how he was able to stop t...he DMV from suspending my license by submitting whats called a Helmandollar plea to the court!! He was worth every penny. Kareem did a great job.

Very Pleased

My lawyer Kareem A. Abou-Ramadan was extremely helpful with my case, I was pleased with the results from my Dui case which he dropped down to a "Wet & Reckless" & Also very pleased on how he would explain everything in detail Any question I asked he would have the answer for I will most definite...ly be recommending him to friends & family

Posted by Alec | May 17, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

One of a Kind

Very professional about the way he condones business. Gets the job done a TRUE lawyer that makes you feel like your his own family. He strives to handle cases ahead of the actual court date(s) which was a great stress reducer considering most people don't know what to expect on those "days" Got a Pe...tty Theft allegation (while on felony probation) dropped like nothing ! Dropped down a ridiculously alleged DUI to a Wet Reckless with ease (while on felony probation) literally when fighting for your very freedom don't mess around, for his services I would say worth every penny!!! this guy saved me a load of trouble and I look forward to a bright future thanks to him. An in any event of a mishap I know exactly who will be representing me! I got the law in my favor and no worries once he steps up to the plate. Thanks Kareem your a life saver!!!!!
