Outstanding experience from start to finish

I truly appreciate everyone at Habbas Law & Associates! This was my first time ever experiencing something like a hit and run, and it was honestly very scary and overwhelming. From the beginning, they took the time to explain everything clearly and walk me through the process step by step. They were... patient, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood what was happening at every stage. I’ve worked with other lawyers in the past for a different situation, and unfortunately that experience was stressful and not very helpful. Habbas Law & Associates completely changed that experience for me. They made me feel comfortable, supported, and truly taken care of. They did an amazing job, and I’m so thankful for their help. I especially want to thank Jasmine for being so helpful throughout the entire process. She was awesome! She kept me updated, and was very very patient with me when I had tons of questions. I would absolutely use Habbas Law & Associates again if ever needed and would confidently refer them to friends and family.

Responsive Lawyer, Great Outcome

Angela Storey, with Habbas Law, was amazing to work with. She was responsive, kept me informed, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident throughout the process. I'm exceedingly satisfied with the outcome and I highly recommend the firm.

If needed, I will use your professional service again

I’ve never entertain the thought of using a lawyer, but in my case after being ran over on my bicycle from behind I needed someone professional to assist me and making the right decisions, very happy with the outcome.

Very good law firm they run with your case!

Great law firm they took my personal injury case on when other law firms would not and got me a very good settlement. Very responsive throughout the process and addressed all my concerns in a timely fashion. I give them my highest recommendations.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
