Good people are hard to find. Especially an attorney!

Manager of LLC

I hired Majdel to serve as real estate counsel on the purchase of commercial real estate for an LLC for which I was Manager. She is the "real deal" in every respect and that's coming from one who also is an attorney. Specifically, she is very responsive, smart, experienced, able, personable, thorough, and cost-effective. She responded to all e-mails and phone calls in a timely manner, and I actually felt that she could have charged more for her services, and it still would have been a reasonable fee. I unreservedly give her the highest rating.

Good people are hard to find. Especially an attorney!

Came to find this attorney by happenstance. i had a horrofic experience by another attorney who dropped the ball big time. Madjel and courteous and quite funny. Made my difficult time with business and then personal bankruptcy less painful. She is dedicated and above all trustworthy. God brought her to us.

Very helpful

Majdel responded to me quickly. I explained my situation to her and she answered all my questions. She handled my case with knowledge and in a professional manner. As a result I got the relief of being debt-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone in my situation.

A true professional

A friend recommended Musa Law when I found it necessary to file for bankruptcy and had no attorney to handle the process. Majdel was very thorough in explaining the process and guided me smoothly through a stressful time. I highly recommend her.

Client Review

I worked with Majdel in March 2008 as she represented my husband and I during our closing for the purchase of our first home. She was very professional and always made herself available to answer any questions that I had. As a first time home buyer, Majdel walked my husband and I through all of the steps. Also, she was very responsive. I have worked with attorneys in the past that were slow to call back or answer emails, but Majdel was the complete opposite. She was very quick to respond to all of my inquiries and questions. The transaction was seamless thanks to her. I would recommend her to anyone.
