Testimonials
Read what Arab American families in Passaic say about our Arabic-speaking criminal defense attorneys.
“Bar fight that I didn't start. Bouncer said I threw the first punch. Security footage showed the other guy grabbed my collar first. My lawyer subpoenaed the full video, not just the clip the police had. Charges dropped completely. Without that video I was looking at a year in county.”

“Wrong place, wrong time. Was at a friend's apartment when police raided it and found drugs. I got charged along with everyone else. My lawyer proved I had no knowledge and no connection to what was happening. Case dismissed after four months of stress.”

“Got stopped at a checkpoint on Route 1. Blew 0.09 after two glasses of wine at dinner. My attorney challenged the checkpoint procedures and the calibration records of the breathalyzer. Charges reduced to careless driving. No DUI conviction, no impact on my engineering license.”
