Very rude Divorce Lawer

Avoid it for a divorce. Like all lawyers he works for him, to prolong the divorce and bill you the maximum amount.

Worst Divorce Lawer

I hired Kubilay Celebi to handle my divorce case, and it has been an absolute nightmare from start to finish. If you're considering hiring this lawyer, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Here’s why: Ridiculously High Billing: This lawyer's billing practices are outrageous. I was charged for e...very single minute, even for the most basic email communications. It felt like they were trying to stretch out the case just to pad the bill. I ended up paying much more than originally estimated, with little to show for it. Constant Delays: The process took much longer than necessary. There were frequent delays, and it seemed like my case was constantly on the back burner. When I inquired about the delays, I was met with vague excuses and no real explanations. Lack of Communication: Communication with this lawyer was a major issue. It often took days to get a response to my emails, and phone calls were rarely returned. I felt completely out of the loop during the entire process. Unprofessional Behavior: I noticed several instances of unprofessional behavior. The lawyer showed up late to meetings, and there were times when they seemed unprepared. It was clear that my case wasn't a priority. No Results: Despite the high costs and lengthy delays, the outcome was disappointing. The lawyer failed to achieve the results I was hoping for, and I can't help but feel that a more competent and honest attorney could have done a better job. Overall, my experience with [Lawyer's Name] has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. If you're looking for a divorce lawyer, do yourself a favor and find someone else. I wouldn't recommend this lawyer to anyone.

Prenuptial Agreement - Perfect!

Kubilay (KC) Celebi did an excellent job for me in drafting a prenuptial agreement. I knew I was in good hands from the day we met. I needed the agreement done right away, and he was very respectful of my time sensitivity. KC was very open and honest with me. He took the time to explain the law as it... pertained to my circumstances. KC really listened and took the time to gather and understand all the underlying facts and details of my circumstances. He was very organized. He asked lots of questions, and continued to ask questions and gather more facts thru several e-mails’ exchanges leading up to the final draft. This was all evident in the very detailed prenuptial agreement that he wrote on my behalf. It was spot-on; KC had all the bases covered. I was very pleased with the finished outcome; it was exactly as I had hoped for and needed. I hold KC in the highest regard. I consider him as my family law attorney, should I need one in the future. Thank you KC! I sincerely appreciate all of the effort you put into drafting my prenuptial agreement. My sincere best wishes in the future to you and your law firm.

Custody Case - Highly Recommend KC

KC is a kind, helpful and a pleasure to work with. I was very nervous when I came to KC with my case because I was dealing with so much and I don't know much about the legal system. He helped me understand my case and what to expect. KC helped me win my case and still continues to help me with anythi...ng else that comes up. I appreciate all of his help.

KC's Family Law Practice

KC has helped me over the years with Family Court issues. He has let me pay for his services at a rate that I could easily afford when other attorneys wanted all their money in advance. He is always at the courthouse ahead of me and explains thoroughly what the hearing is on the docket that day. ...His practice covers many issues, and he is my attorney of choice for all of my legal needs.
