Patient and Kind - With A Remarkable Outcome

I was incredibly frightened by my experience, and made many phone calls to attorneys to find help. One of the lawyers I reached out to wasn’t accepting new cases, but highly recommended Mr. Karmali. And here we are. Case dismissed. I’m incredibly grateful for his patience and kindness th...roughout. He can take a very scary situation, and put you at ease. Highly recommend.

One of the best lawyer you can get

I was on a DUI case with Mr. Karmali. The Case was solved and closed. He is very sincere in helping his clients. I would recommend Mr. Karmali to anyone.

Professional and Direct

Mr. Karmali was an excellent attorney. I received a speeding ticket while on the WA-520 highway. This was my first offense and the officer stated his radar clocked me going 25 MPH over the speed limit, but he only cited me on the ticket for going 15 MPH over. I contacted Mr. Karmali by phone and told... him all of the information I could remember about receiving the ticket including that a radar gun was used. I provided my ticket number and he immediately looked it up and began reviewing it. He had confidence that the ticket could be dismissed as there seemed to be discrepancies on it (ones I never would have caught without a lawyer). This whole phone call took at most 5-10 minutes. I later received the court date after telling him that I pursue a hearing with him as my lawyer. I sent him the date, time, and location and he went to court. I did not even need to go to the courthouse with him. He got the case dismissed and I did not need to pay any further court fees either. So for about 5-10 minutes of my time I did not have to pay a $150 speeding ticket or deal with increased insurance rates which would likely have costed me thousands over a few years. I also still have a clean driving record. Thank you Mr. Karmali!

Got 2 traffic infraction tickets dismissed

I hired Mr. Hussein Karmali for two different traffic infraction cases and he did an excellent job for both of my cases which resulted in dismissal of both the cases with no fines. He is the best lawyer and really good human being. He is always approachable and always available for any questions.

Excellent Traffic Ticket Lawyer

I have use Mr Karmali on numerous occasions, being a family of 4 driving adults, for last few years. His price is very fair and service is great. I have used other traffic lawyers that are more expensive (and famous) and honestly the outcomes were no better. He even gave me free advices on ticket fro...m a county far away. I highly recommend Mr Karmali and plan to continue hiring him as situation arises.

"I honestly couldn't say enough good things about Hussein. He is very experienced, knows the courts, judges, prosecutors, and even many of the officers, and has found ways to get tickets dismissed that other attorney's haven't. I can't imagine another attorney doing a better job at the same time as being as nice and communicative. If you have a ticket in King county, especially on the eastside, you definitely need to contact him!"
