Areeg is an excellent attorney. She is thorough and knowledgeable. She communicates well in court and with her clients. She does not tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what reality is. I highly recommend her.
Thank you!

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Areeg on a number of occasions with immigration cases which involve criminal issues. She is very thorough and has achieved some wonderful outcomes for her clients."
"Attorney Akel exhibits a high degree of skill in the practice of Criminal Defense law and is very experienced. She has a winning approach when analyzing cases and she takes the necessary time to competently handle all criminal matters, specifically in the area of criminal defense. I have known her to take on very complex cases with winning outcomes for her clients including serious felony charges with a strike being dismissed to a simple misdemeanor charge. Above all, she has personal concern and a genuine desire to want to help her clients. She is a person with a high degree of integrity. She engenders trust in prosecutors, judges, and jurors. I endorse this lawyer."
