The best law firm for any case you have, my life was in shambles until I connected with Farris Haddad/ his amazing team. From day one I was treated like family and not just a check book. I had a few cases going on 3 being criminal and 1 being an auto injury case, I shopped around for attorneys and when it came to the criminal matters (Super Drunk DUI, Loitering with intent, and operating vehicle with illegal equipment) after speaking to the attorneys I was sure that I would be going to jail for a minimum of 3-6months with a year or two probation and at the same time have my license revoked/suspended and ignation Interlock. I had a major brain injury last year and honestly was about to give up and felt like i lost the last bit of myself that is left, I couldn’t handle the answers I was getting from other attorneys I felt like my life was over and really didn’t want to continue with it. Luckily I have Farris and his team like I stated before they treated me like family from day one and assured me they would keep me out of jail, I felt like I was reborn after speaking to Farris almost all the stress I had vanished in an instance. Farris and his team set up a strategized game plan to knock the cases out in the most aggressive but economical way possible, Farris laid out a few routes we could could take and directly got to executing said plan. Literally an All-Star team they got me the best possible outcome, I couldn’t believe it 2 of the 3 cases were completely dismissed, and the Super drunk DUI (High BAC way over .17 around a .223 which is a felony dui entails 6 months of jail, 2 years probation, 6+ points on record, crazy high tickets and a license revocation for a minimum of a year after which a blow device would need to be installed if I wanted to drive in the future is what i was expecting), I basically dug myself into a crazy deep whole talking to the officer at the time but Farris did his magic and somehow got it dropped to a misdemeanor OWVI and would have had it totally dropped if it weren’t for my own mistake but he still managed to get it dropped as low as possible. No jail, no license revocation or suspension, I basically received a slap on the wrist thanks to Farris. I can’t begin to express my appreciation for Farris and his law firm, I’m so thankful they came into my life they made it a breeze for me so I could actually fully focus on healing from being injured in major accident. I was working with another attorney for the auto injury case if you can even call it working, he wasn’t getting much done literally did 5 hours of work in my case in 12 months, I was left to fend for myself and damn near lost everything in the process whilst my previous attorney wasn’t even answering my calls or emails. So I asked Farris if he and his law firm could take over and they agreed to take the case over and got straight to work. Like I said this is an All-Star team and Farris hooked me up with his best and in my opinion the best Injury attorney you could possibly ask for Attorney Michael Oblizajek, Mike got straight on the case and for the first time since my injury I felt like something was getting done. Previous attorney didn’t even try to push for any of the benefits I was entitled to. I was missing doctors appointments due to transportation and was forced to sleep in my car because I had no money for rent because the previous attorney pushed for nothing bit himself, I almost lost myself/my will to live, the previous attorney and the auto insurance caused me so much stress and anguish that I wanted to give up. Thank god I found Farris and his team once they got to it everything changed. I was set up with a case manager, transportation, wage loss benefits, back pay for prior transportation, prescription/insurance card all within a month something my previous lawyer couldn’t do in a year. If you want a Law firm that actually cares and will fight for you go with The Law Office of Farris F. Haddad & Associates. I guarantee you can’t go wrong and will be treated like family not $ like others do.

Poor communication. He rarely returned calls. Was retained for a post conviction case (appeal) and this attorney presented the same evidence as the trial attorney… no new evidence nor error was presented in the appellate brief….he was not prepared nor did he research the case. Very disappointed.. would not recommend.

When our mom passed, we contacted Bill. He had set up a trust for our parents. But they went to another attorney after that who revised the trust and left it in a real mess. Bill helped us navigate that and other legal tasks that needed to be addressed. He was kind and straightforward, guiding us to do what we could on our own and stepping in as we needed or wanted. We really appreciated his support during a difficult time.

Bill exceeded my expectations on my father’s estate planning. It was a very difficult time for me, Bill took the time to walk me through the process. He was very knowledgeable, professional and most important responsive.
Billing was accurate, precise and reasonable.
I will be using Bill for all of my future estate and legal business matters moving forward. I consider him a friend.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Natalia for managing my H-1B transfers and B-2 applications. I only wish I had found her sooner. I had previously believed that H-1B transfers would take a long time, but she proved me wrong. Receiving my H-1B Approval Notice in just 1.5 months was unimaginable for me until she helped make it a reality. Since then, I have referred her to my prospective employers to expedite the process. She and her team were highly responsive to my inquiries and kept me updated throughout.
Unlike the lawyers from the three large corporate firms I have worked with, Natalia treated me like a person, not just a case. She is truly outstanding!
Natalia is now my go-to firm for all my immigration needs.

Natalia Sarraf has been an invaluable resource, guiding us through complex visa and immigration processes with such expertise and care since 3 years ago. For example, when we were navigating the renewal of my wife’s TN visa, Natalia provided clarity on every step, even anticipating potential issues we hadn’t considered. She quickly reviewed documentation, identified areas for improvement, and offered suggestions to make our application as strong as possible.
On another occasion, Natalia took the time to explain the nuances of maintaining our visa status, especially given our dual citizenship. She not only answered our immediate questions but also highlighted potential future scenarios, helping us feel prepared for any changes. Her ability to break down complex legal terms and patiently walk us through each question we had made all the difference. Natalia’s dedication and thorough approach have provided us with tremendous peace of mind, and her support has truly been above and beyond.
We are incredibly grateful for Natalia’s guidance, expertise, and kindness. Anyone needing knowledgeable, reliable assistance would be lucky to work with her—she’s simply the best!

I deeply thank you, Natalia Sarraf, for the timely and accurate preparation of my daughter's status adjustment from J2 to H4 visa. Also, Natalia Sarraf reviewed and made suggestions for my husband's H4 visa application when he applied in Europe. Natalia Sarraf and her senior case manager, Jennifer Stevens, work quickly and accurately. They responded to all our questions. Thanks to them, my family is now united. I highly recommend Natalia Sarraf's great expertise.

I am a very skeptical person who has a difficult time placing trust in the hands of another, especially when the consequences of it is tied to a result in which I may have no control. My main goal in seeking the right attorney was to find one whose outlook demonstrated a strong moral and ethical compass, and was passionate in their career choice to both uphold and defend the law. I had interviewed several attorneys, who in my opinion, provided nothing more than typical sales pitches, and I became deeply discouraged.
That all changed when I came across Andrew Mayoras's bio, and then reached out to him. What I found in Andy was an attorney who honestly cared about his clients, who was determined to seek the truths, was not intimidated to challenge opposing counsel, weeded through the garbage of opposing counsels arguments, and applied the law appropriately and in accordance to my particular case. What I learned, is no matter what court situation you may find yourself involved in, it is never a pleasant experience. However, when you have confidence in your lawyer, such as I found with Andy Mayoras and other members within his law firm, I fully trusted that my position was going to be zealously represented in an upstanding and professional way. Andy did NOT disappoint!!
I have nothing but deep respect and gratitude for Andy Mayoras and his associates. Thank you a thousand times over!!!

I am immensely grateful to Ms. Ferrick; words fall short in conveying my thanks and appreciation. Without Conner, I'm uncertain how I would have managed. She embodies honesty, ethics, kindness, humility, intelligence, and professionalism. Conner's dedication to aiding both myself and my son goes beyond words, moving me to tears as I write this.
Conner's toughness and high esteem among her colleagues are remarkable. Navigating custody and parenting time is a deeply challenging and emotional journey, and Conner has been my guide and kept me strong. As an exceptional attorney and an extraordinary individual, she is without question the very best. Trust me, this process is grueling, but having the right person by your side is critical and makes all the difference. If anyone wishes to discuss my experience personally, I invite you to reach out to Conner and request my contact information.

I am so grateful to Connor Ferrick for her negotiation skills in my divorce, January, 2019.
I am 80 years old with a small s.s. check and limited savings. I was married for 17 years to a very selfish and greedy man who thought he could divorce me, take everything and move on. He seemed determined to hurt me emotionally and financially which I did not deserve. Connor was having none of this. She negotiated a settlement that leaves me able to live out my life peacefully. Thank you so much, Connor.
P.S. The girls in the office are great!!!!

I had a very high conflict divorce. Connor was always available to me, even at night. She was very prepared for every court appearance we had and was a fierce advocate for me. She is not only an amazing lawyer who is clearly respected by her peers but she is also an amazing person. She truly cared about my children and I. I consider her and her amazing staff as friends now. She fought very hard for me and I am very happy with the end results. I highly recommend her. She put me at ease and gave me great piece of mind. She is very good in court, negotiations, and in her motions. A divorce is a very unpleasant experience but having the right lawyer can make all the difference.

My wife and I used David for estate planning for our 2 young children and we are very happy that we did. He took estate planning and other complex topics and made them easy to understand. He was patient with our questions but also very thoughtful on how to help us with some of our unique circumstances. Not only that but as other questions have come up he has made himself available and willing to answer those as well. I have recommended David to a number of people and they all have had a similar outstanding experience. David prides himself on his professionalism and it shows in his work and interactions.

My wife and I had an estate plan drawn up by another lawyer about 8 years ago. When it was time to update it, our original lawyer had retired so we need to find a new lawyer. This site was actually one of several source we used to select David. It has turned out to be a wise decision as David has proved to be very proficient in the area of estate planning with a wealth of experience to draw on. I attribute this in large part because he has a sincere passion for this area of law and interest in providing his client the highest levels of satisfaction. He certainly made the process as easy as possible. Although our original plan was sufficient, there were items that David addressed in our updated version that will definitely add value. We are grateful for those who left their reviews and are happy to add our feedback as well.

Andrey is one of a kind. He's not your typical attorney - he's the true definition of honest, trustworthy, and reliable. He doesn't just get the job done, he knocks it out of the ballpark. Above all, his level of integrity is something we should all strive to achieve. By far, hands down, the best attorney I've ever done business with!

My parents, after years of thinking, wanted to have an estate plan set up. After a lengthy research process, I found Mark's law firm. After reaching out to Mark and learning about his decades of estate planning expertise, I felt very comfortable setting up a consultation for my parents with Mark. After my parents met with Mark and his team, they were also very impressed with Mark's legal knowledge as he was able to address each and every questions they had. Overall, Mark and his team, (especially Nicole who the made signing process a breeze), made the entire process of getting an estate plan and putting it into a place very easy and stress free. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark and Nicole to anyone or any family thinking about getting an estate plan in place.

We had been trying to collect from a customer for almost two years with out any results. After contacting Mr. Lubyansky and telling him our situation he asked if we were prepared to go to court if we needed to. We said if that is what it will take, then yes. Mr. Lubyansky contacted our customer on our behalf and was able to negotiate a deal that would get us paid over an 8 month time, with the customer accepting penalties if he defaulted from the contract.
We will continue to use his legal services when needed, and I would recommend him 100%.

Brian Garmo…..
What to say about Brian! He is not even a great lawyer but, he is an awesome magician who just does some type of magic there in court and everything will come to him in his favor.
What he has done for me, it’s unbelievable. He handles his all the cases in a very professional manner and he is very soft talking.
Because of his overall effort, all my charges were dismissed simply and for this, I think, a single word “THANK” will not be enough.
But as we don’t have much words to say Thanks. I would like to say
“Thanks a lot Brian to make me proud that you were my lawyer and to make my life on track….”
Please keep it up with your awesome services! You have a very great future!!
For others, I would highly recommend Brian. You can have a blindly trust on Brian to make a good decision, what I did!

I contacted Brian back in December 2012 regarding a debt situation in which I had no available means to pay back in full. I was quite nervous, upset, and depressed over this entire situation. But once I sat down with Brian, he assured me that he would do everything he could to help. He really put my mind at ease by explaining the many options that were available in dealing with this problem, and always kept me abreast of what was happening. Brian was able negotiate a settlement of my $30k+ debt for $3k. Simply outstanding!!!! I cannot thank Brian enough for the great work he performed in handling my case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking the services of a great lawyer.

He was very patient in answering all of my questions and was very upfront about the process from beginning to end.
