DVRO/Divorce/Child Custody

I’m very grateful for the help and guidance Mr. Ibrahim and his team provided during a very stressful and emotional time in my life. They were patient, professional, and took the time to explain things clearly so I could understand my options and feel confident moving forward. What stood out most to ...me was that he genuinely listened and treated my situation with care and respect. Having someone knowledgeable and calm during such an important matter made a big difference. I truly appreciate their support and would recommend Mr. Ibrahim to anyone who needs someone trustworthy and dedicated to helping their clients. I ended up getting everything I wanted and I honestly could not be in a better and more peaceful place in my life. His team was aggressive and empathtic im an active duty service member they worked with me through everything with such a busy schedule I had. Thank you for getting me my son and my life back.

Yahya Ibrahim

I had the pleasure to be helped by Mr Ibrahim with a couple of Restraining orders against me. From the beginning, Mr Ibrahim was profesional, compassionate, and made me feel secure that he would do everything legally possible to help me with my cases. His staff was well knowledgeable about the i...nformation needed from me to better represent me in court. His staff did always responded to my questions via phone, email, texts, and My Case webpage. They were courteous and had patience with every aspect of the legal proceedings. Mr Ibrahim responded all my questions pertaining to my cases. He had a clear plan as to the best defence and legal strategies to bring in to court. This is a key component of why in the end, I had positive outcome. In court he acted very profesional, he had good report with the preceding judge. He was calm, collected, and assertive. He made me feel at ease with my anxieties. He did most of the talking for me and he involved me only when needed. Mr Ibrahim's qualities that I described, are extensions to his character, professionalism, and experience. These are attributes hard to find nowadays. I would hire him again If I had to. He is reasonable with his fees. I never felt pressured under his guidance. We need more Lawyers like him in this world. Thank You Yahya Mohamed Ibrahim and Staff for your EXCELLENT JOB.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST REPRESENTATION

What can I say about John Ibrahim? I hired him for my custody and restraining order case and he was on top of it from day one. He answered any questions I had about the process and was very straightforward about everything (whether or not I wanted to hear it). This made me comfortable knowing that hi...s primary interest was me and not just the dollar. I have to admit I was constantly questioning the situation because I wasn’t familiar but he always calmed me down and was very patient. At the end I got what I want. I am glad to have placed my case in his hands and would recommend it for anyone that wants an attorney who cares and does an impeccable job. Thank you Mr. Ibrahim!!!

Divorcing the Narcissist - Look No Further than Mr. John Ibrahim, Esq.

I had divorced a very volatile, pathological NPD man, and had a very rough five years with the post-divorce manipulation, false allegations, grandstanding, and all the other grandiose disordered behaviors from my ex. I have used multiple lawyers in the past for the divorce and subsequent custody mod...ifications, as you could imagine, because most attorneys do not understand and appreciate the complexity of the situation or the narcissistic personality disorder. I interviewed four other attorneys before I found John Ibrahim. John practices family law exclusively, and is extremely knowledgeable and prepared to handle the exceptional litigation challenges associated with divorcing the narcissist personality. He is very responsive, diligent, and dependable, as well as easy to talk to, patient, empathetic, and kind. John has an unbelievable presence in the courtroom--and this is crucial, especially crucial, when you are involved in divorcing a narcissist. John was able to mitigate the impact of my ex's attempts to abuse by proxy using the court system and CPS. He was very proactive, and was never once swayed by my ex's attempts to use the Covid-19 shutdown to evade the situation. John prevailed in my DVRO hearing and I got a five-year restraining order against my ex, sole legal and physical custody of my children with no visitation for my ex, and John even got the Judge to see there does exist a need for a psychiatric evaluation for my ex--the Judge then ordered my ex to get a psychiatric evaluation and to provide proof of responding to treatment as a requirement for ever getting any visitation in the future. John and his paralegal Connie worked very diligently and professionally to get results that exceeded my expectations. They were very thorough with each of the pleadings, and are both extremely adept at navigating the legal system. I highly recommend Mr. John Ibrahim, Esq.

Custody challenges

I am grateful that I hired Mr. Ibrahim as my lawyer . I had been battling child custody matters for two and the half years and thanks to Mr. Ibrahim and his legal team I had an increase in my parental custody rights. Mr. Ibrahim and his legal team were very informative and very helpful with all con...cerns and issues I needed answered. If Mr. Ibrahim was not available when I called he always followed up with a text or phone call within a timely timeframe. I would highly recommend Mr. Ibrahim to anyone who is seeking legal counsel. I want to say thanks again to Mr. Ibrahim and his legal team for all your hardwork with assisting me with my difficult case . Your time, compassion, and willingness was greatly appreciated. Sincerely B. D
