I personally was contacted by Mo in regards to my case and he was very knowledgeable about dependency cases and my specific situation. It was explained to me where I stood and how to move forward. I was given clarity on where I am and what to do next. I truly appreciate Mo being willing to talk to me and to put me at rest giving me peace on my specific case as well as letting me know that I didn’t need representation and that if I did, he would let me know. He gave me the facts and was completely honest with me that he wouldn’t require someone to pay or take his services on if they didn’t truly need representation and was on the right track with what they were doing with CPS. I cannot say thank you enough Mo for instilling peace of mind and leadership towards the best way to move forward. I am forever grateful!

Mr Abuershaid is by far one of the most honest and good attorney. I had 3 criminal charges filed against me back in may and in less than 3 months he was able to get all cases dismissed and not even filed. I highly recommend contacting him. He’s well-connected and knows everyone in courts

We came in contact with Mo when we realized we needed help and representation with a case involving CPS. Mo quickly put us at ease with his responsiveness and knowledge of the system. He was able to provide a calming presence in an otherwise hectic situation. Through his expertise, we successfully navigated the situation and are able to put this event behind us. Our family cannot recommend Mo and his team highly enough. We are very thankful that he was on side.

Mo and his team were exceptionally prompt and provided timely support during our time of turmoil. Mo offered assurance, guidance, and a clear understanding of the law and likely proceedings. He follows up immediately, regardless of the hour, and is meticulous in his work. Mo was our rock, without whom we would have been lost. I highly recommend Mo and his team to help you navigate life's challenges.

I had the privilege of being represented by Mo in a dependency case. Unlike other attorneys I contacted, Mo was quick to assess the situation and immediately stepped into action. He consistently demonstrated his extensive knowledge and expertise, and I could always depend on him to be prepared with a solid plan. Mo is responsive, available and his interpersonal skills are an 11/10. He was kind, patient, respectful and transparent, especially when answering my family’s many questions. I reached out to him on several occasions completely distraught. He handled these heavy situations with such care and provided much needed assurance and solace. I ended each call feeling safe and cared for. Besides all the aforementioned qualities that make Mo an exceptional attorney, what really stood out was his passion and dedication. I feel he genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients. He kept my family’s best interest at the forefront of his process, which made me feel confident in trusting him and his judgement. Through his actions, he not only garnered respect form from my family and me, but also received accolades in the court room from County council. Mo went above and beyond to help my family and me and I am eternally grateful. He was truly a light in a dark moment and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.
