Testimonials
Arabic domestic violence defense lawyer reviews in Minneapolis
Read what Arab American families in Minneapolis say about our Arabic-speaking domestic violence defense attorneys.
“Wrong place, wrong time. I was at a mall when a fight broke out and police arrested everyone in the area. Spent the night in jail. My lawyer argued I was a bystander, brought forward GPS data from my phone and testimony from the store clerk I was talking to. Case dismissed at the arraignment.”
Hassan A.

“Got pulled over on Cedar Avenue after a community event. Failed the field sobriety test but I have a bad knee from back home. My lawyer argued the physical test was unreliable given my medical condition. Got it reduced to careless driving. No DUI on my record. Kept my bus driving job with Metro Transit.”
Omar F.

“My teenage daughter made a terrible mistake and shoplifted from Target. We were devastated. Our lawyer got her into a juvenile diversion program — community service and a theft awareness class. Her record is sealed. She's learned her lesson. The lawyer talked to her in Arabic and she actually listened.”
