What people say

  • He (Ismail) has tremendous litigation skills. I’ve never known another lawyer more prepared or focused. He has the ability to dissect a case much like a skilled surgeon, with absolute calm. Nothing seems to rattle this guy or distract him from his goal on a case, which of course, makes him extremely tough to beat.

    Jenny Solomons

  • I had the pleasure of meeting “Ismail” Mohamed. I found him to be professional, bright, and most importantly, compassionate and committed to the rights of his client. The commitment and attention Mr. Mohamed gives to his clients is unparalleled. I would highly encourage his legal services to anyone in need.

    Sampson Williams

  • Ismail is a smart, ethical, and top-notch lawyer. He gives his clients his all, gets great results, and is well respected. I strongly recommend him for his highly ethical and professional representation of clients.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need a lawyer?

Many people believe they need an attorney’s services only to solve a problem or to get out of a difficult situation. Often, the best time to see an attorney is not when you are in legal trouble but before that trouble occurs. Preventive law is one of the most valuable services that a lawyer can perform. By eliminating potential problems, preventive law can save you time, money, and needless worry.

How can I get started, and what is expected of me?

Upon being retained as your legal counsel, your attorney should expect that you will:

  • Be completely honest about all facts concerning your case, whether or not they are favorable to you.
  • Be on time for appointments and not take up an excessive amount of time with visits or phone calls relating to minor details or petty matters.
  • Take his/her advice.
  • Understand that no lawyer can guarantee results in a contested matter.
  • Be patient and understand that legal matters are rarely “open and shut” cases; they require time and research.
  • Pay a reasonable fee for the work performed.
