He literally wasted our time and money ($2,500), and ruined a perfectly winnable case.
We had a situation where we were young first time home buyers and the sellers who sold us this house UNDESPUTIBLY lied to us in the contract about the property never flooding. We had photo evidence and witnesses, and yet he managed to LOOSE the case and blame the judge over it. I cried my eyes out that day, I had Just had a baby and had to live in this new scam of a house, we worked SO hard to collect all of the relevant information, and everyone I had spoken to said we had an undeniable case. Yet his lack of enthusiasm and perhaps lack of experience made us loose it all with no options left. I don't even think the judge was impressed with him. I am still dumbfounded as to how it all unfolded, what a fool I was.
Not to mention this guy will take A WEEK to get back to your emails, even when you respond IMMEDIATELY. It was THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING communicating with him or asking him questions, he would even get snarky in some of his responses. Does he have another full time job that he does and this is just his side hustle? I don't know, but I will NEVER EVER go back to him.
He is a liar, he overpromises and oversells. He sounded so good on the phone at first, and so genuine. But I quickly saw right through all of that as I worked with him. Wish I could get my money back. Never again.

Excellent lawyer was very helpful and patient throughout the entire process. Honest and well experienced, the only lawyer that was willing to take my case and we won! Definitely calling him back again and recommending him to everyone I know!

Hikmat was able to cut my debt almost in half. This loan company was ruthless. Hikmat's office handled all of the phone calls, e-mails, and letters from the company. We finally agreed to a payment plan and protected my credit rating. Thanks!

Hikmat was able to close on a house we fell in love with. There were some issues with the house and title that needed to be to handled and they were. We thought we were going to lose the house of our dreams, but Hikmat made the closing happen.
I just wish the closing happened faster.

Hikmat was really supportive and helpful when I got my ticket. It was high points and I could've lost my license so I had to find a lawyer. He was patient and chill over the phone and was great talking to the prosecutor and the judge.

I had an issue with my previous landlord in where he would not give me back my security deposit. We had agreed that the house was left in good condition and that he should be returning the entire security deposit. I tried countless times to contact the landlord with no success. I then decided to reach out to avvo and have an attorney handle this matter. Avvo suggested working with Hikmat. I reached out to Hikmat via email and he later called me to confirm an appointment in the following days. I briefly explained the matter over the phone and told him I would bring the documents to his office during our appointment. The following week I went to his office which was very conveniently located in Montclair with a private conference room so we can go over the physical documents I provided. Hikmat was very professional and was listening to all of my concerns in regards to this matter. He was very understanding and assured me he will do all in his power to reach out the landlord and have him provide us with the security deposit in which I was entitled to. As the days went on, Hikmat followed up with me about once a week and on the third week, he called to follow up and also confirm that he had received the security deposit check. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family in the future.

I needed a NDA (non-disclosure agreement) between a client and my business. After a little searching I foune and reached out to Hikmat who was more than happy to work with me. What was extremely helpful was that before even meeting me and my client, he conducted a phone consult first before we met to get all the information for the NDA, on top of that since the clients schedule couldn't meet with his office hours, he was nice enough to meet all of us at my office to do the signing and notarized the documents. I would definitely recommend Hikmat for any legal services you may need.
