Edward N. Ajlouny

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

I found myself in a very difficult alleged felony DV AND robbery case. It was a total nightmare situation. Not only was I being accused of the two felony’s but there was also a video footage that was reviewed by police resulting in my arrest. This was submitted into evidence which made this case more... of a challenge. After being released on bail, I spent several days interviewing every lawyer listed within my area. This was very stressful especially since most of the lawyers I spoke to seemed to try and scare me even more once I shared the details. I found this to be a common trend and realized it was a tactic to get me to quickly pay up so that I would then feel protected. After realizing this was happening so much, my search for the right attorney became much harder. Honestly, Mr. Edward Ajlouny was just about my 100th call with a criminal defense attorney. After we spoke on the phone I knew he was worth meeting. I’m here to provide an honest review because I know just how serious and stressful this is. I will say that Mr. Ajlouny didn’t sugar coat anything. If you’re looking for an attorney to hold your hand sympathize with you and tell you everything will be ok, move on. I had a lot of emotion involved in this alleged case and there were a few times that he had to firmly remind me that unfortunately none of that mattered when it came to the law. It didn’t matter how much evidence I had that my accuser was a bad person, if it wasn’t legally useful, he would be quick to kindly yet respectfully remind me of this. Moving on, Mr. Ajlouny was quick to pull my discovery packet/police report and emailed me a copy. Upon reviewing the police report, he had already took the time to highlight what was important. The problem was that the officer reviewed video on the alleged victims Nest camera and wrote that he saw me striking the victim multiple times. I expressed to Mr.Ajlouny that I do NOT believe that I was the aggressor and that both the alleged victim and I acted out in similar fashion. Regardless of what the police officers statement was. After reenacting the incident over and over together, Mr.Ajlouny went over both the pros and cons that can result in our decision to request the video evidence that was on file. I explained that it all happened so fast (less than a min) and emotions were at an all time high. Because of the high stress I was under, I couldn’t explain any further details as the last few seconds were a total blur. We both agreed to request the video. We had already appeared three times in court and I was ready to put this behind me. Due to COVID-19 it took several attempts to get ahold of this piece of evidence but it was obvious that Mr.Ajlouny went above and beyond to get the video and copied me on several emails he sent out, keeping me in the loop. Finally, he received the video which I believe would have taken longer had he not reached out to the right contacts. I took notice to how many people knew him by name during our appearances and they seemed to take a liking to him. It was at this point that Mr.Ajlouny proved his 25+ years of experience without a doubt! Mr. Ajlouny sent me the video and before he could say anything, I thought it was bad outcome for me. The video clearly shows me striking the “victim” in the wrist just as the police officer stated in the report. BUT Mr. Edward Ajlouny AKA my hero, played the video back multiple times in slow motion and BOOM! There it was! It happens SO FAST but he was able to pause the video on the exact moment the accuser grabbed my arm restraining me from leaving the scene. Again, I was under so much stress and it happened to fast that I couldn’t even recall this happening. It was now obvious why I reacted the way I did in the video. Yesterday we appeared in-front of the judge and based on Mr. Ajlouny’s findings, my case was ENTIRELY dismissed!! Thanks to his experience and confidence I was one of those rare outcomes. Thank you Mr. Ajlouny, I am forever grateful!!!!!

I chose Edward to defend me. If I had to do it all again, I’d choose him again. He plays things cool because he knows what he’s doing. I appreciated his call on a Saturday, before Monday court. He was awesome and got things resolved very quickly. I’m happy to serve as a reference to any futur...e client.

I experienced an unfortunate experience with my boyfriend, now ex, The incident occurred out of the county I live in and I was terrified of what I had been through. I contacted this attorney after receiving "jail mail" and researching him on line. Nothing but great reviews! Within 3 days of speaki...ng with him on the phone, the case was dropped and tossed in the garbage. I did not even have to meet with him. He was easy to talk to and answered my calls. He's a life changer!!!

I was charged with domestic violence and hired a supposedly "well-known" criminal attorney who, basically, did **barely anything** after charging me a **non-refundable fee of $4500**. Because of my unique situation, I was in no position to accept a plea bargain. It had to be an outright dismissal or... acquittal. After three months, I replaced this "well known" lawyer with Edward Ajlouny. I called Edward Ajlouny on a Sunday evening and, he not only showed up at his office, but also came up with some strategies for defense. The next day, Ed Ajlouny visited the scene of the alleged incident, scoped out the place, role-played the alleged incident, elicited all the information, and took notes and photographs. He was enthusiastic, aggressive, and detail-oriented from the very outset and did not lose the tempo and laser-focus throughout the case. The case was at a logjam and it was complicated because of the presence of an alleged "independent witness" who gave a statement to the police. When the DA would not drop the charges, we opted for a jury trial and Ed Ajlouny was meticulous in his preparation. To make a long story short, the case was dismissed and the charges were dropped the morning the jury trial was supposed to begin. Ed Ajlouny's total fees (fixed, including trial preparation and representation) were about one-third of what I would have paid the other "well known" attorney. Ed Ajlouny was worth every penny. **Pros: Extremely reasonable fees, aggressive, meticulous, affable, enthusiastic about my case. I was always comfortable in talking to him about any concern I had about my case. All calls were answered by Edward Ajlouny himself, as opposed to the calls being ambushed by a paralegal at the other law firm I had hired early on in my case. This included calls made on the weekends for a status update!! Unless Ed Ajlouny is in the courtroom, all calls are answered or returned promptly. You cannot imagine how, this alone, is a comforting factor when going through the criminal process! If you hire Ed Ajlouny, he's the one who'll work with you and not his "assistant". As a matter of fact, he does not have any assistant whatsoever and is a one-person law firm! Punctual and never late for any hearings. **Excellent analytical skills to analyze the case** and present the various options (plea bargain, reduced charges, jury trial) and their consequences. Will not railroad you into taking a plea bargain that could affect your job prospects because of background checks. *Not afraid to take a case to trial.* Extensive trial experience. You need a lawyer who has been there, done that, and got the T-shirt! Cons: None I can think of. I was fortunate to have Ed Ajlouny as my attorney.
