Posted by Ashok Chudasama | January 31, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

I am really pleased and happy with Mr. John Habashy's service.

I hired Mr. John R Habashy for my Daughter's real estate problem. She was in divorce process and need to sale her home that was only in her name. Mr. Habashy helped his best and finally we were able to sale the house. He is very co-operative polite and reasonable at charging fees. I highly recommend... his service.

Best Lawyer in Los Angeles period......

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Mr Habashy and the whole staff at the Habashy Law Firm for the successful conclusion of my case. It has been and definitely is an absolute privilege to know a highly professional and dedicated Attorney and person like you. I cannot give enough prai...se to the way you have handled my case, your tireless devotion, your energetic approach and your keen eye for details. I have worked with a fair share of lawyers over the years and i can tell you that not one of them can even remotely come close to your expertise and work ethic you have set up at your firm. There are no words to show my gratitude for all of your efforts. Your personal outputs at every step and your intense commitment has made this unpleasant case in actuality a livable one.. It should go without saying that I will recommend you and your firm to as many people as possible with the knowledge that they will be in the best hands of a premier Law Firm. I would also like to thank Linda G for always being a sweetheart and answering all my questions and concerns when i had them.

Amazing Service

Hiring Mr. Habashy was an extremely positive experience. He knows the law and knows what to do to get the job done and optimize the success of a case. He is honest and lets you know if there is a chance that you have a case or not. He doesn't lie to you and make you think you have a case in order ...for him to acquire his own monetary gain. I have referred several people to him and his ethics were proven through his honesty of telling a couple of them that he would not take their case because they didn't have one and he didn't want to give them false hope or take their money, knowing it would be unsuccessful. He made everything clear and easy to understand and he was always available to answer any and all questions. I felt comfortable asking him questions, because he never made me feel inferior or that he was the "attorney" and I was the "client". I felt like I was talking to a friend and that I could say anything and express any concerns without feeling uncomfortable or "dumb". I never had to chase him with phone calls in order to get in touch with him. In fact, he would be the one to call me on a regular basis to keep me informed on any updates and if anything was required of me (and what was required of me was minimal). He asked me for the documents he needed in order to proceed with the case and then he did all the rest. His manner of dealing with me put me at ease and I felt secure in placing my trust in him. To be honest, I have had a negative opinion of lawyers through my own personal experience and the experience of acquaintances, but after dealing with Mr. Habashy, I have renewed faith that not all lawyers are out for their interest. There are those who genuinely care about helping deserving people and John Habashy is the best of them. I cannot thank him enough. He is the best!!

Loan Modification

I was referred to John Habashy from my accountant in Los Angeles in 2010. John is an amazing resource for your mortgage and real estate issues. John knows his stuff! He knew exactly what to do to present my case in the best light. . He negotiated skillfully to get me a loan modification I was happ...y with. John has great presentation skills and although we settled out of court, I would have been comfortable with him representing me at trial. Look no further .. I could not possibly give anyone a higher recommendation. All of my friends and colleagues that have needed the best representation know the name John Habashy.

THE BEST BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY IN CALIFORNIA..

I am the type of person who does a TON of research before making major decisions (such as choosing an attorney) and this was no exception. I am also the type who believes I can do it on my own and I don't need an attorney to file the same papers I can file on my behalf. Well, I am VERY glad I choos...e to use an attorney and even happier that it was Mr. John Habashy!! If there was the option of a "plus" after the 5 stars, Habashy would deserve that in my mind. Honestly, I didn't think using an attorney was needed with what I thought was a simple bankruptcy. However, I figured that I would go the safe route and use one anyway, boy was i glad i did. I shopped around and I phone interviewed several other attorneys and even met with two others before selecting Habashy. Mr. Habashy charged a fair price for his service and went above and beyond my expectations! Filing for Bankruptcy is not a pleasant experience. It is emotionally and morally trying. But when left with no other option John Habashy is definitely the man you want on your side helping you through this ordeal. His high level of professionalism and genuine compassion for his clients makes the process so much easier. Mr. Habashy has the ability to make you feel as though you are his only client, devoting all of his focus to you and your personal circumstances even though in actuality he is an extremely busy attorney and of course has many other clients that require his time and attention. I am very pleased with his work ethic and professional advise that led to a favorable outcome in my case. I highly recommend John Habashy should you ever have to file for bankruptcy.
