TRAUMATIZING EXPERIENCE

I hired Mr. Ibrahim to represent me in my divorce case, specifically regarding child custody and spousal support. After our initial conversation, I never spoke with him again directly. Instead, all communication was handled through his paralegal assistant, Elizabeth. We exchanged emails where Mr. Ibr...ahim and another member of their office were copied, but I never received direct communication from him. The only matter he seemed proactive about was reminding me about the retainer fee. Before my first court hearing, Mr. Ibrahim assigned another lawyer named Jason to represent me remotely. Jason and I spoke briefly over the phone. However, the court did not approve the request for a remote appearance, which meant we were required to appear in person, and Mr. Ibrahim would be the one representing me. Our check-in time was scheduled for 8:45 AM, and the hearing was set for 10:00 AM. I arrived early at 8:15 AM and sent Mr. Ibrahim a message to inform him that I was already there. I also emailed his staff to let them know that I was waiting outside the courtroom. This was my first time in court, and I did not know what to expect. 9:00 AM came and passed, then 10:00 AM, and there was still no sign of Mr. Ibrahim—not even a text message. Finally, shortly after 11:00 AM, he called to apologize and said he had car trouble. When we entered the courtroom, I felt overwhelmed and wanted to cry. My ex-husband was already there with his lawyer seated on the opposite side of the courtroom. The judge was clearly unhappy and stated that everyone had been made to wait. Not only was Mr. Ibrahim significantly late, but it also became apparent that he knew very little about my case. At one point, the judge directed a question to me directly because he could not answer it. I have already paid more than $10,000 for his services, and the most recent invoice I received was for an additional $4,600. In my experience, he did little beyond filing my case and treated the situation as a business transaction rather than providing competent legal representation. That first court hearing was very traumatizing.

Excellent

John worked on my child support/custody/alimony case. He was very supportive and actively involved with my case. I am in the military and my obligations made this case difficult to resolve in a timely matter but John made it happen and kept me from being “taken to the cleaners”. Very satisfied with h...im and his staff.

Good Lawyers DO Exist!

I NOW BELIEVE IN ATTORNEYS AGAIN!! I have been going through a nightmare child custody, child support and spousal support case for years. I have used so many attorneys who cared only about one thing...MONEY. I needed someone new. I reached out to Mr. Ibrahim and took a chance. It was the best deci...sion I ever made. I am what you call a paranoid client and their office was very gracious with their time. They would ALWAYS answer my emails or phone calls or texts within a reasonable time period. He was a very reasonable price and was always prepared at court getting the results I needed. Thanks again John!

ETHICAL, AGGRESSIVE, KNOWLEDGABLE

Anonymous I hired Mr. Ibrahim for my child custody, child support and spousal support case. My case had been going on for so long. I informed Mr. Ibrahim about the details of the case and I was such a nervous wreck. We talked over the phone about everything and I felt a sense of calm because I ...knew that he would take care of me on my case. I WAS RIGHT!! He did not stop fighting for me once I retained him and he answered all of my questions. He accomplished all my goals for me and he was honest with me during the entire time. He was affordable but more importantly he was an attorney that actually cared about the outcome of my case. If I ever have any problem again, I will look no further. Thank you Mr. Ibrahim. My family thanks you.
