Long story short, I was wrongfully accused by an angry ex girlfriend. In the beginning I hired a different lawyer who said my case couldn’t get past preliminary trial because it was too weak and it did go past preliminary trial. I then found out about Ed and hired him immediately after meeting with him and explaining what was going on. Ed has way more experience, he is better connected and maintained much better communication with me. Ed got my case dismissed in a reasonable amount of time. After dealing with this problem and learning about the system I am incredibly grateful to have met Ed.

I found myself in a very difficult alleged felony DV AND robbery case. It was a total nightmare situation. Not only was I being accused of the two felony’s but there was also a video footage that was reviewed by police resulting in my arrest. This was submitted into evidence which made this case more of a challenge. After being released on bail, I spent several days interviewing every lawyer listed within my area. This was very stressful especially since most of the lawyers I spoke to seemed to try and scare me even more once I shared the details. I found this to be a common trend and realized it was a tactic to get me to quickly pay up so that I would then feel protected. After realizing this was happening so much, my search for the right attorney became much harder. Honestly, Mr. Edward Ajlouny was just about my 100th call with a criminal defense attorney. After we spoke on the phone I knew he was worth meeting. I’m here to provide an honest review because I know just how serious and stressful this is. I will say that Mr. Ajlouny didn’t sugar coat anything. If you’re looking for an attorney to hold your hand sympathize with you and tell you everything will be ok, move on. I had a lot of emotion involved in this alleged case and there were a few times that he had to firmly remind me that unfortunately none of that mattered when it came to the law. It didn’t matter how much evidence I had that my accuser was a bad person, if it wasn’t legally useful, he would be quick to kindly yet respectfully remind me of this. Moving on, Mr. Ajlouny was quick to pull my discovery packet/police report and emailed me a copy. Upon reviewing the police report, he had already took the time to highlight what was important. The problem was that the officer reviewed video on the alleged victims Nest camera and wrote that he saw me striking the victim multiple times. I expressed to Mr.Ajlouny that I do NOT believe that I was the aggressor and that both the alleged victim and I acted out in similar fashion. Regardless of what the police officers statement was. After reenacting the incident over and over together, Mr.Ajlouny went over both the pros and cons that can result in our decision to request the video evidence that was on file. I explained that it all happened so fast (less than a min) and emotions were at an all time high. Because of the high stress I was under, I couldn’t explain any further details as the last few seconds were a total blur. We both agreed to request the video. We had already appeared three times in court and I was ready to put this behind me. Due to COVID-19 it took several attempts to get ahold of this piece of evidence but it was obvious that Mr.Ajlouny went above and beyond to get the video and copied me on several emails he sent out, keeping me in the loop. Finally, he received the video which I believe would have taken longer had he not reached out to the right contacts. I took notice to how many people knew him by name during our appearances and they seemed to take a liking to him. It was at this point that Mr.Ajlouny proved his 25+ years of experience without a doubt! Mr. Ajlouny sent me the video and before he could say anything, I thought it was bad outcome for me. The video clearly shows me striking the “victim” in the wrist just as the police officer stated in the report. BUT Mr. Edward Ajlouny AKA my hero, played the video back multiple times in slow motion and BOOM! There it was! It happens SO FAST but he was able to pause the video on the exact moment the accuser grabbed my arm restraining me from leaving the scene. Again, I was under so much stress and it happened to fast that I couldn’t even recall this happening. It was now obvious why I reacted the way I did in the video. Yesterday we appeared in-front of the judge and based on Mr. Ajlouny’s findings, my case was ENTIRELY dismissed!! Thanks to his experience and confidence I was one of those rare outcomes. Thank you Mr. Ajlouny, I am forever grateful!!!!!

I chose Edward to defend me. If I had to do it all again, I’d choose him again. He plays things cool because he knows what he’s doing. I appreciated his call on a Saturday, before Monday court. He was awesome and got things resolved very quickly. I’m happy to serve as a reference to any future client.

I’m satisfied with his promise and service and the fee is reasonable too.

I hired Edward to represent me in both a criminal matter pertaining to my Wife’s false accusations and custody of my children. He successfully had my criminal case dropped before a hearing and successfully had a none-founded DVRO (Domestic Violence Restraining Order) against me dropped. Edward kept me extremely calm and focused, sticking to the facts and fighting for me to have time with my children. He trusted me and believed in my rights as a Father to be with my children. He successfully got 50% custody for me and immediate full weekend visit with my kids after not initially seeing them for a month. He showed me through his organization, hustle, focusing me on facts that matter and engaging the Judge, opposing counsel and mediator that he was the best lawyer for the job. I hired him to navigate the process before the divorce and now that he has won the most important elements for me in court we can file for divorce in a position of strength. Edward is a good man, he has kids himself and understands the importance of children’s time with their Father. I am lucky to have him as my lawyer. His positive spirit and can do mentality helped me have hope at times that I felt overwhelmed, frustrated and disalusioned. Thank you Edward!! I rlove commend you hire this lawyer for your criminal defense and/or family law needs.

I experienced an unfortunate experience with my boyfriend, now ex, The incident occurred out of the county I live in and I was terrified of what I had been through. I contacted this attorney after receiving "jail mail" and researching him on line. Nothing but great reviews! Within 3 days of speaking with him on the phone, the case was dropped and tossed in the garbage. I did not even have to meet with him. He was easy to talk to and answered my calls. He's a life changer!!!

I was charged with domestic violence and hired a supposedly "well-known" criminal attorney who, basically, did **barely anything** after charging me a **non-refundable fee of $4500**. Because of my unique situation, I was in no position to accept a plea bargain. It had to be an outright dismissal or acquittal. After three months, I replaced this "well known" lawyer with Edward Ajlouny. I called Edward Ajlouny on a Sunday evening and, he not only showed up at his office, but also came up with some strategies for defense. The next day, Ed Ajlouny visited the scene of the alleged incident, scoped out the place, role-played the alleged incident, elicited all the information, and took notes and photographs. He was enthusiastic, aggressive, and detail-oriented from the very outset and did not lose the tempo and laser-focus throughout the case. The case was at a logjam and it was complicated because of the presence of an alleged "independent witness" who gave a statement to the police. When the DA would not drop the charges, we opted for a jury trial and Ed Ajlouny was meticulous in his preparation. To make a long story short, the case was dismissed and the charges were dropped the morning the jury trial was supposed to begin. Ed Ajlouny's total fees (fixed, including trial preparation and representation) were about one-third of what I would have paid the other "well known" attorney. Ed Ajlouny was worth every penny. **Pros: Extremely reasonable fees, aggressive, meticulous, affable, enthusiastic about my case. I was always comfortable in talking to him about any concern I had about my case. All calls were answered by Edward Ajlouny himself, as opposed to the calls being ambushed by a paralegal at the other law firm I had hired early on in my case. This included calls made on the weekends for a status update!! Unless Ed Ajlouny is in the courtroom, all calls are answered or returned promptly. You cannot imagine how, this alone, is a comforting factor when going through the criminal process! If you hire Ed Ajlouny, he's the one who'll work with you and not his "assistant". As a matter of fact, he does not have any assistant whatsoever and is a one-person law firm! Punctual and never late for any hearings. **Excellent analytical skills to analyze the case** and present the various options (plea bargain, reduced charges, jury trial) and their consequences. Will not railroad you into taking a plea bargain that could affect your job prospects because of background checks. *Not afraid to take a case to trial.* Extensive trial experience. You need a lawyer who has been there, done that, and got the T-shirt! Cons: None I can think of. I was fortunate to have Ed Ajlouny as my attorney.

Awesome attorney, Mr Ajlouny was brought into the case late in the game. After preliminary. But he had the confidence and composure of a true warrior. I was looking at a maximum 7 years. Mr Ajlouny kept me informed more than any other attorney I have ever worked with. He went above and beyond the capacity of an Attorney. (Got my dog back for me) LOL. Thanks Ed. Mr. Ajlouny was confident and was able to lift my spirits when I felt that I just wanted this to be over and considered changing my plea. I would highly recommend Mr. Ajlouny to anyone that is seeking a competent, confident and knowledgeable attorney.

If you are reading my review, then I hope that my testimony will give you a sense of relief and confidence. Mr. Ajlouny is an experienced, smart and effective attorney that will give you RESULTS!! He is also compassionate and is a "friend". My family and I owe him many many thanks because he'd "saved" my life. He really is magical.. I was faced with a domestic violence felony charge that, if convicted, could send me to prison/jail for up to a 12 months. Due to the complexity of my case and the biased nature of my domestic violence case, I was worried and felt hopeless. But thanks God and to Edward that he was able to get a settlement (from a felony charge to a misdemeanor with no jail time) from the DA office. This was a few days before we would have gone to trial. As a productive member of this society who has never been in trouble with the law throughout my entire life, this settlement means the world to me and to my career. I can not thank Mr. Ajlounly enough... Whatever situation you are in, I can assure you that retaining Edward to represent you is the best choice you can make for yourself. I would also be happy to talk to you if you need a personal reference. Just ask for my number from Mr. Ajlouny. I wish you well.....

Edward is super good at family law. He listens to his client's case details extremely well, and prepares strong and persuasive documents before approaching the prosecutors. I went to Edward (luckily I went to him!!) for help with a Child Abuse case. He was able to identify the key defending grounds in a couple of minutes. Within 10 days from our first meeting, Edward got the case dismissed with DA - before the case even reached the first court date. This is a lightening speed far beyond my expectation. I recommend Mr. Edward Ajlouny with no reservation. He can save you and your loved ones from serious legal troubles!!
