Great lawyer A+

Mr. Ajlouny is an exceptional attorney. I was in need of legal assistance for my son, but we had never encountered a legal situation before, so we were unsure of what to do. I began searching for legal help and came across Mr. Ajlouny through an online search near the San Jose area. I reviewed his pr...ofile and was impressed by his extensive experience. I contacted him and explained my situation, and he immediately provided me and my family with a vote of confidence. He outlined the steps to follow and instructed us on what to do. He also maintained regular communication throughout the entire process. Mr. Ajlouny successfully helped my son’s case to a dismissal with no record. I highly recommend him. He will undoubtedly be an excellent choice for any legal needs. Thank you, Mr. Ajlouny

DV case - Dismissed

Ed is definitely an experienced criminal defense attorney in Bay area. Ed role-played the alleged DV incident to understand what really has happened. He was enthusiastic and detail-oriented. Communication was easy since he is directly available on phone and no need to explain to multiple admin staff.... He kept the case status informed that it was dismissed way before attending the 1st court hearing. Post case dismissal communication could be better since some of the same aspects come in family divorce & dvro case later.

Case Dimissed! Ed is the man for DV cases no question

Long story short, I was wrongfully accused by an angry ex girlfriend. In the beginning I hired a different lawyer who said my case couldn’t get past preliminary trial because it was too weak and it did go past preliminary trial. I then found out about Ed and hired him immediately after meeting with h...im and explaining what was going on. Ed has way more experience, he is better connected and maintained much better communication with me. Ed got my case dismissed in a reasonable amount of time. After dealing with this problem and learning about the system I am incredibly grateful to have met Ed.

Poor family lawyer

I hired this lawyer to represent my family law case. He lacks focus and has a very hard time going through documents. He cannot summarize what is important for a case and is very ineffective in the court. He lacks the knowledge of either law or family court system and will waste your money on aski...ng the same question again and again without recollecting what you said. In my case, he decided to not file any paperwork and told me that he thought we could wing it. He spent his personal time filling out a two page form and charged me for 2 hours for it. In sum, very poor law sense and execution.
