I am writing to review the services of Medhi Essmidi, who provided a defense for an action that led to serious criminal charges. If convicted of the charges, we are looking at a minimum of 15 to 25 years, but we were very grateful for Medhi's expertise. His vast knowledge of the legal system was a lifesaver. His compassion exceeded the courthouse and the case, knowing how easy it is to make mistakes and the cost of such action, especially for people of color. Medhi took the time to understand my case thoroughly, and he was able to develop a strong defense strategy. He was also very effective in communicating with the prosecution and the judge. He is assuring us that he will do his best not to go to trial because of the cost and stress it is likely to have on us. At trial, [lawyer's name] was excellent. He was able to present our case in a clear and concise manner, with a cause of action that led to the outcome. His ability to realize the mental and depressive state that caused a temporary separation from reality made the action really sad. In the end, his plead and compassion for the ADA charges were presented, and we were offered a leaser plead deal that took the incarceration off the table. He is a true lawyer. I will recommend Medhi to anyone who needs legal representation. His hard work, dedication, outstanding skills, and experience as a lawyer with truly human compassion make him more than a defense attorney, but more like a member of his family that is in a bind, and he has assured you he will move heaven and earth to get the best outcome. Without hesitation, I will recommend Medhi to anyone seeking the best defense lawyer to help you catch a break. Thank you, Mehdi. God richly bless you and count your sleepless nights as a reward here and in the afterlife

Mr. Mehdi was very professional and gave great, honest advice for our case. He has a genuine concern for his clients and not only dealt with our case with great detail but also provided us with a better understanding of the law in general. We don't have much experience with the law nor being prosecuted against and Mr. Mehdi was fantastic for someone like us.

I had the privilege of working with Mehdi Essmidi as my defense attorney in a complex domestic violence case. I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with his exceptional knowledge and expertise. Mehdi's understanding of domestic violence laws, order of protection, and the nuances of the Westchester County courts set him apart from other attorneys I have encountered. One of the most striking aspects of working with Mehdi was his deep understanding of the differences between the legal systems in Westchester County and the five boroughs of NYC. He was well-versed in the specific intricacies of the local courts, which allowed him to develop a tailored defense strategy for my case. What truly amazed me was Mehdi's ability to negotiate a favorable outcome without requiring me to admit any guilt. His ingenious strategy convinced the defense in my family court case to offer me an order of protection, ensuring my safety and well-being while safeguarding my legal rights. This accomplishment was a testament to his impressive advocacy skills and comprehensive legal system understanding. Furthermore, Mehdi masterfully managed to keep my family court case utterly separate from my related criminal case, mitigating any potential negative impact on either proceeding. His strategic approach and meticulous attention to detail ensured that both cases were handled independently and effectively. Throughout the entire process, Mehdi demonstrated unwavering dedication to my case. He was always available to address my concerns and answer my questions, providing me with clear explanations and guidance every step of the way. His professionalism, responsiveness, and compassionate demeanor were truly comforting during a difficult and stressful time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mehdi Essmidi to anyone seeking a defense attorney in domestic violence cases. His extensive knowledge, remarkable negotiation skills, and meticulous approach make him an invaluable asset in the courtroom. Mehdi's commitment to his clients and his ability to navigate complex legal situations set him apart as an outstanding attorney. If you are in need of a defense attorney who will fight for your rights, protect your interests, and provide expert legal counsel, I cannot recommend Mehdi Essmidi highly enough. He is a consummate professional who will go above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients.

Mehidi may possibly be one of the best lawyers in NY, he makes sure that your case is a priority and you can give him a call anytime of day and if he doesn?t answer he?ll be sure to get back to you and he produces results instead of promises.

Having Mr. Essmidi represent me was the best thing I could have chosen for myself. What was a difficult and scary situation, he made a lot easier by being clear about exactly what was going on every step of the way and keeping me informed. Instead of letting me take a deal he knew I did not deserve, he fought and pushed to get me a deal with a much better outcome, ultimately saving my record and my career. If looking for a great criminal attorney, I highly recommend choosing him and his firm to represent you.

Sometimes a client has already heard bad advice or received poor representation from other attorneys. When that client comes to me already tired and defeated, I know it is my job to put up more of a fight and have enough hope for the client and the right outcome. Fighting to get you a clean record, fair treatment, and a clear future was my honor.

Mehdi took my case the day before my court date. I was nervous, but he walked me through the entire process making me feel reassured. Although I wasn?t the easiest client to deal with, he worked hard to get the best possible deal for me. I couldn?t have asked for a better attorney.

Mehdi was a great choice. From the get-go Mehdi seemed confident and prepared for any possible outcome. He was very direct and precise with his language when explaining things to me. Above all, Mehdi was available when I needed him - both in person and by phone. When we did speak, he was knowledgable and assured in his ability to represent me. Thank you Mehdi for your help with my situation!

Excellent lawyer I would like to give special thanks to Mehdi! He represented my brother in a federal case and succeeded to obtain the best possible result, respectively a served sentence and a reduction of the restitution amount. Mehdi is very professional, well prepared, experienced, and very responsive. Besides being a great lawyer, he is also very supportive with his customers, as well as with their families, from a moral and human peperspective. I totally recommend Mehdi, because he strives to obtain the best possible result for all of his clients, making them feel well represented and special!

Mehdi is the most amazing lawyer. I had a Federal criminal case in the Eastern District of NY. He took over my case when it was kind of stalling and he got for me the best possible outcome (time served) in about 8 months. The communication with him and his overall support for me and my family were great throughout all this process. Yet he didn't stop there. He was also there for me during the Immigration & deportation process. Thank you Mehdi on behalf of my whole family!

I engaged with this attorney for a criminal case, and while he was knowledgeable and competent, communication could have been better. We did win the case, but I was not impressed on how he and his team interacted with me. The fees were on the high side.
