1
Emergency Response & Bail
Contact an Arabic-speaking defense attorney immediately after arrest. We work to secure your release, protect your rights, and prevent self-incriminating statements.
2
Search & Seizure Analysis
Examine the legality of every search, seizure, and stop. Fourth Amendment violations can result in evidence suppression — which often means case dismissal.

Evidence Challenge & Diversion Evaluation
Challenge lab results, chain of custody, and prosecution evidence. Evaluate eligibility for drug court, diversion programs, or treatment alternatives.
4

Client review
“My employee stole from the register and blamed me. Owner believed him because he'd been there longer. I got charged with theft over $1,000. My attorney subpoenaed the security footage and bank records. Proved I never took anything. Charges dropped and I sued for wrongful termination.”

“Campus police found marijuana in my dorm room. Ohio State wanted to expel me and the prosecutor wanted a felony charge. My lawyer negotiated a plea to a minor misdemeanor and convinced the university to let me stay with academic probation. Just graduated last spring.”
