"If you're looking for a lawyer that will fight for you then look no further. I was facing at least 2 1/2 years upstate and if it wasn't for Sharif I wouldn't be here today. He fought for a full year to keep me out of jail and succeeded brilliantly. He was able to get me in Bucks County drug court, the first of two transferred into the program from Montgomery County. I have been in the program for 10 months and looking forward to graduating in September. If you are in trouble and are in need of an excellent lawyer then you have come to the right place. Make the call."

"No words can express how terrific Mr. Abaza is as an attorney. Being from out of state and facing serious criminal charges in PA, I felt certain I would face time in state prison along with stiff fines. Mr. Abaza's professional, supportive and most of all compassionate work, kept me from going to prison and the fines incurred were far less than they could have been. Mr. Abaza was able to accomplish what I never thought was possible and I am forever grateful. For all of these reasons and more, I highly recommend Mr. Abaza for all legal matters."

"A few short weeks ago I was facing some serious criminal charges. There was a great possibility of some jail time along with thousands of dollars of fines, not to mention the permanent criminal record that would haunt me for the rest of my life. I was terrified! I'd never been in trouble with the law before, not even a parking ticket. The day of my preliminary hearing came and I was very scared. Sharif went into action, and by some great miracle and to my pleasant surprise, Sharif did take care of everything! Somehow he did make it all go away. I promise you will not find another attorney that can make your trouble disappear. Thanks Sharif, I'm forever grateful!"

"I got myself into a mess over a car accident and ended up with 6 criminal charges. I was preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. Sharif kept telling me to relax; he would take care of everything. It wasn't that I didn't believe him, I just thought there was no way he could take care of everything to my satisfaction, as anything less than making it all go away was not going to make me happy. I still can't believe it, but Sharif Abaza managed to have all 6 criminal charges dismissed. So I'm telling anyone that is in need of a great attorney to represent them, don't hesitate to choose Sharif. He will give your case 150% just as if you were family. Relax and trust him!"
