Testimonials
Read what Arab American families in Newark say about our Arabic-speaking family law attorneys.
“My husband left and moved back to Ramallah. Getting divorced when the other spouse is overseas and unresponsive is a nightmare. My lawyer handled service of process through international channels, got a default judgment, and I was able to move on with my life. The whole process took about nine months.”

“My ex wanted to move our sons to Morocco permanently. As their father, I had equal custody rights. My lawyer argued that removing them from their school and community was not in their best interest. The judge agreed and blocked the move. I see my boys every week now.”

“My ex-husband left the country and stopped paying child support. My lawyer tracked his US assets and got a court order to garnish his rental income from a property in Passaic. Three kids and I finally have consistent support coming in every month. She went above and beyond.”
