Contract law, business law.
That’s not a first time I’m hiring Shadi. Can’t be more thankful for his hard work. I’ve been dealing with several attorneys in the past and majority of them trying to play games with you and take your money despite Shadi. He will tell you upfront what is possible and what’s not possible. He doesn’t play games, very aggressive and super fair lawyer. I don’t wish anyone to get in trouble, but if you are, he is the one who will help!

Best attorney hands down
Best money I spent hands down. Not many attorneys would drive six hours to a county in the middle of nowhere and drive back the same day. And to top it all off, not only drove six hours, but came to a job site and picked me up and took me to the courthouse and dropped me back off to my job. Great guy you will not regret hiring him on your team.

Incredible representation
After 3 attorneys and multiple court appearances, we found Shadi. He listened to me, immediately collected records and presented his notes at pre-trial and made it clear we were ready for trial! The case was dropped as I was traveling to the courthouse. He was extremely aggressive and responsive. From someone that was looking at a major case, I can honestly say this is the best representation, anyone could have.

Very helpful
Shadi was extremely helpful throughout my case, made me feel comfortable and confident in his ability to represent me. Made the entire process as quick and painless as it could be. Very responsive and quick reply to all my questions. Would highly recommend him.
