Very upset with the poor communication through out the process. I told Ibrahim, from the beginning, that I was not guilty and I intended to fight the charges. He assured me we would win, and we didn't. He's over confident and very inexperienced and I think I would have done a better job myself and would have saved a lot of money in the process.

The most frustrating thing about the process was the lack of preparation on his part. He literally waited until the day prior to work on my case. I paid him $5,000 and saw him twice prior to trial. Both times it was about money. I don't think he cares about anything but being paid. I actually ran into the judge in the street, and he told me I had poor representation and that was the only reason I lost my case! His planning involved offering the officer on the stand a cup of water as if to say that he’s thoughtful when in reality none of that mattered.

In his response he mentions spending "hours captioning the audio on the dash cam video" but what he fails to mention is that all that was inadmissible because he failed to give it to the judge prior to trial so he can authenticate it! Everyone was laughing at his inexperience and all he wanted to do was kiss up to the judge and assure him that he wouldn't try and appeal the verdict....thanks. Also in his response, he mentions how easy it is to get a hold of him. I actually tried reaching out to him and it took him a month to get back to me after multiple attempts on my end only to get more empty promises and reasons why it was MY fault why we lost the case. That's the biggest thing I take issue with, It's how he lacks accountability. He'll always tells you reasons why things are never his fault. I'm not the type of person who likes to speak poorly about people but decided to because I looked at his reviews prior to hiring him and wished somebody would have taken a few minutes to warn me. Rest assured, the damage of hiring the wrong lawyer will stick with you for the rest of your life...so choose wisely!
