Mr. Shawky was very polite, helpful, and down to earth. I felt very comfotable talking with him and he answered all my questions. Thanks, Tarek!
Smart, Kind, and a Winner. Most attorneys come across as either smart jerks who will get you what you want, but you will hate dealing with them, or they are nice but not very good at getting you what you want. Tarek is a rare breed. After explaining my story to him, I felt instantly understood and respected.
Mr. Shawky is a knowledgeable and skilled criminal defense attorney. He truly cares about his clients and makes every effort to get them the best possible result. He is a zealous advocate and has great reputation in the legal community. I endorse this lawyer.
