I found Karim through an acquaintance of a family member. I can’t write enough good things about Karim and his team here. My priorities were securing a future with my infant son, and I am so happy with how everything was handled! Not only was Karim very professional and responsive throughout the entire process, but offered many bits of priceless guidance and wisdom. I’ll remember and take to heart the things I’ve learned from Karim for the rest of my life. I can’t recommend Karim and his team enough to anyone looking for a divorce attorney!

I hired Karim for my divorce, and it was the best decision I have ever made. He was so kind throughout the process and didn't make me feel dumb if I didn't know certain things I thought I should know at this point in my life (finances, things about living/ budgeting on my own). He was so responsive and made sure every issue was addressed in order to protect myself and my future. I would highly recommend Karim and his team to anyone going through a divorce.

Karim made me feel like I was his only case, and I was the priority. After a 17-year marriage Karim was recommended to me by a very trusted friend and lawyer. From the beginning Karim was professional, compassionate to my situation and strategic in his handling of my situation. Karim expedited the divorce process, was very responsive and provided me with some security in my life at a time of great uncertainty. Karim’s office and support were extremely kind and responsive as well as transparent with billing and documentation. I was always kept in the loop and in the end, Karim was prepared for court but able to keep me out of court to provide me with a fair and advantageous settlement in meditation. Karim and his firm are just great. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I hired Karim after making little progress with initial attorney from larger firm. Karim explained the process throughout. He was calm, direct and on top of things. He was able to give me a sense of potential outcomes and advised on which battles to fight. I highly recommend him.

I was shocked when my husband asked for a divorce after 25 years together. I knew I needed to find a very good attorney because my ex husband was a very successful trial attorney. I knew this wasn’t going to be an easy divorce process . A mutual friend (also an attorney) referred me to Karim. Her words, “He will get you what you need. He’ll get the job done. “ From the very first phone call to the very last Karim worked with me as if my divorce was a major priority. There were times when he knew how incredibly stressed I was and told me to just reach out to him or his staff if I needed to talk. Karim is one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met. His calm demeanor and his expertise in divorce law speak for themselves. Karim and his staff did more than get the job done. They kept my case from going to court and I was able to keep everything I valued and more. I wouldn’t think twice before hiring Karim. You definitely want him representing you and not your soon to be ex spouse.

Karim recently helped through the worst time of my life - a divorce after 24 years of marriage. I am so lucky to have found him. From the first time we talked, he was kind, caring and professional. I went into the process knowing very little about my financial situation and the divorce process. Karim and his team and Mitch Hiley (trusted financial advisor) were very patient and made sure I knew and understood everything that was going on from start to finish. He always asked me how my two boys and I were doing and gave me great life advice. We settled in mediation where Karim calmly and ethically fought for a great outcome. I couldn't have been happier. Thank you Karim!

I preface this by saying I am an attorney myself, so have little tolerance for inefficiency, lack of knowledge and suspect billing practices. Karim, and his staff, Christy, Tracy and a great consulting accountant led me thru a complicated, painful and difficult divorce. Simply everything they did was above and beyond what I had anticipated. Karim was smooth, respectful and professional with opposing counsel, and at our number of arbitrations w/ the arbitrator, who also clearly respected him. He was able to put together a settlement that made me very, very happy after negotiating several perilous legal issues, which were all resolved in our favor. His billings were fair and precise, and he advised me where and when we could cut costs. He advised me on issues outside of the divorce, and continues to do so to this day. I was unfathomably lucky to have found him, and have recommended him to anyone in a similar position.

A friend who had worked with Karim described him to me as the Buddha with a Bite, and that couldn't be more accurate. He's wise, patient, listening, counseling, caring and experienced. He knew what to give, and when to push. And when it was the time to push, did he! Not in a shark-ish way, but in a strategic manner that represented me well and got things done. Beyond his legal acumen, I appreciated his ethics, especially compared to the opposing attorney who simply wanted to draw things out to make it financially painful. Karim always started each conversation asking how I and my children were doing, and ended each one encouraging me to take the high road, treat my wife with courtesy and pay attention to my children's feelings throughout the process. Plus, he sincerely sought to find the best / fastest path to resolution because he wanted to preserve the wealth of my family, not build his. And at the end, he achieved a very good divorce settlement for me. Karim and his firm are just great. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I hired Karim to handle a very complicated divorce case after I had worked with two different attorneys prior to him and they failed me. Karim is extremely intelligent, very proactive and very clam. I felt form start to finish that I am in good and honest hands. I knew, all along, Karim will do his best for me. Hands down he is one of the best family law attorney's in the State of MN and beyond. He is very reasonable in his billing and extremely fair. Divorce cases are never fun but working with Karim was a relief and I could have not asked for a better outcome.

Karim El-Ghazzawy is an excellent attorney. He understood the complexities of our case and my goal of the well-being of the children. He helped me navigate the system with a solid understanding of the law. We were able to settle our case out of court. If we had gone to court, Karim is an amazing trial attorney. I know that I would have been in good hands with Karim if we had ended up in court.

Excellent and devoted law firm. Karim and the whole El-Ghazzawy Law Offices team are extremely knowledgeable and very dedicated to helping their clients. Responses were always very timely. The whole team always made me feel like they cared and they followed through with all the plans we discussed. I highly recommend Karim and his team.
