If your spouse is hiding assets or concealing income, Omar will chase it down.

I hired the firm Omar worked for, but it was Omar that went above and beyond my expectations especially for him being a young attorney. Long story short, when I filed for divorce, my ex husband stole 70K from our bank accounts and lied about what he did with the money, Omar tracked the funds, subpo...enaed banks, and even sued my ex-husband's daughter from a previous relationship and brought her into the lawsuit proceedings because he was funneling monies to her to hide them from me. After a four day divorce trial, the judge recognizing the deceit, deception, and perjury spewing out of my husband's sworn testimony, the Judge awarded me 4 out of our 5 real properties worth around $1 million. My husband was left with a warehouse and the business, and the judge ordered my ex husband to pay for my attorney's fees because of the extraordinary amount of work Omar performed to uncover all of my ex's lies and deceit because of his failure to fully disclose his income. In the end, my ex was left with $50,000 out of $1.2 million in our total real properties (all of which were free and clear). Words cannot express my gratitude to Omar. My ex husband tried to get Omar removed from the case by filing a Bar complaint because he was being so successful uncovering what my husband did not want anyone to find out. .Without him and his intensive investigation and paper chasing, the results would have been different. I don't refer clients to the firm that Omar worked for, I will only refer clients to him. He kept me informed throughout the process unlike his former boss. I am so happy he opened his own practice. I would not hesitate to use Omar again.
