Best attorney ever!

Yasmeen saved my family, I would recommend her to anyone! I was involved in a high conflict family law/custody case for several years and I hired Yasmeen after my first attorney did nothing to defend me or keep my kids in a safe situation. I had an immediate sense of trust and relief when I met h...er, something I did not have with any of the other attorneys I consulted. Yasmeen took over my case with grace and skill and immediately found several things my original attorney had dropped the ball on. She was able to overcome my ex's nasty and aggressive attorney in a tactful, courteous manner. Yasmeen is very professional, knows the law very well, and knows how to effectively communicate and advocate for your needs and concerns. Her strategies at handling situations are well thought out and extremely effective. She is very detailed, on top of deadlines, communicates well with opposing attorneys, and allows you to be as involved as you want to be with your case. Yasmeen understands that family law cases are very emotional and draining and she is amazing at navigating your needs in the midst of a legal crisis. Yasmeen genuinely wants to help people and she truly cares about your situation and well being. She will tell you if what you want to do is worth your time and money, a rare quality in attorneys these days. Every bit of legal advice she gave me was spot on. Every.single.time. I can not say enough good things about her, or her amazing assistant Erin. Erin has a calmness about her and she knows exactly what to do to help you, and Yasmeen. These two ladies are the best team ever and are true heroes to me. Because of the hard work of these two ladies I had a very favorable outcome to my case. I will never waste my time with another attorney ever again. I will definitely use Yasmeen if I have any future legal needs. Thank you Yasmeen!!!

How Yasmeen Took On a Sacred Cow...and won!

When my rights were violated by people whose job was to protect me, my entire world fell to pieces. I suffered in silence for two years. On the verge of becoming an adult, I decided I wanted justice for what had happened to me. I called several well-known and respected law firms in the area. Not one ...returned my calls. When I was on the verge of giving up, I received a call back from Abdullah Law Firm and Yasmeen agreed to a meeting. Within the first two meetings, I knew I was in good hands. A calming, yet secure presence, Yasmeen worked closely with me to ensure that I was taken care of, treated courteously, and above all, let me know I deserved recognition for the wrongs committed against me. From that point on, a partnership and strong bond was formed for the next three years. The legal process can be grueling. It can be traumatic and deeply unsettling. The mere conjuring of past traumas is enough to make many victims have second thoughts about filing a lawsuit. Yasmeen knows this. Here, she is more than an attorney; she is someone who cares very much about her clients. The amount of trust that she engenders by her integrity and behavior is valuable above all else. But while she is sweet, she is no pushover. Abdullah’s knowledge of the law is superb. She misses nothing. With her, no aspect of my case or life was overlooked, and dots I could not connect she connected effortlessly. She puts the pieces together. This is important. It was almost eerie how well she knew my case; almost as if she’d herself been there with me throughout my journey. Yasmeen is a fighter. She’ll fight for you. Without Abdullah Law Firm, I would still be wandering in the darkness searching for answers. If you wanted compensation, closure, or both, call Abdullah Law Firm.

Highly Recommend!

I was looking for a lawyer to help me with my divorce. Just the thought of the divorce gave me anxiety as I didn't know what papers needed to be filed or when. I found Yasmeen through the bar association referral. I was impressed upon our first meeting. She seemed very knowledgeable and I decided to... hire her. I am so thankful I did. Not only does she know what she is doing and is highly competent, but her and her assistant Erin are helpful, always there if I have a question and made me feel like it was all ok. I counderstand do this and be confident in my lawyer. I cannot say enough great things and I recommend her to everyone. I feel like she has my back and has my best interest in mind. My divorce will be done in a week and I couldn't be happier.

Highly Reccomend Ms Adbullah

Ms. Abdullah has been the most caring, empathetic and diligent attorney I have ever come across. My case was extremely complicated. I was not familiar with the court system or procedures. Ms. Abdullah put my fears to rest from the very beginning. She kept me and my case focused and on track. Ove...r the course of our time together, I felt that she did everything in her power to keep my costs as minimal as possible while helping me maintain and restore some of my lost rights my rights as a father. She directed me when it a was appropriate to move forward with legal action and when it was appropriate to let things go and not take focus away from my relationship with my son. Unfortunately I have had to retain her on more than one occasion. However, she is always the attorney that I call and cannot imagine ever using anyone else for my case. She retains past hearings and uses appropriate information from them for current cases as needed. I cannot give her enough praise. Her diligence and professionalism are outstanding. She is confident in court and knows the laws inside and out. I highly recommend her, especially if you have a difficult case that needs a thorough and detailed attorney.

Highest Recommendation

Ms. Abdullah is an incredibly knowledgeable and sharp lawyer. She is well-established in the area and familiar with the local legal community. Her advice is solid and she is an amazingly hard-working advocate. In court, she is formidable, yet reasoned. I found Ms. Abdullah after my prior lawy...er did nothing but drain me financially. Ms. Abdullah has reasonable rates and payment plans. She is very aware of her clients' financial situations and tries her best to keep costs down. Despite this, I did not feel like I had a budget lawyer. She is one of the best. I wish I could state more personal details about the case here, but I can just say that we had a very favorable outcome and that she will be representing me in the opposing counsel's appeal. My main piece of advice to anyone out there with domestic violence playing any part in their case, is to hire a lawyer who specializes in dv cases. Don't hire just any family law practitioner. And then be strong and know you're doing the right thing.
