My first experience in court, as a young adult arrested during a protest, and Tarek Shawky provided amazing legal counsel and service! The respect and dignity I was shown was truly empowering. Mr. Shawky was very professional and timely with all of the preparations for the trial and I couldn't have asked for more attention to my questions and concerns. As I was largely concerned with concepts such as solidarity amid potential biases of the court towards many who were arrested at the protest, Mr. Shawky even helped coordinate the legal strategy among co-defendants, so that we could maintain our solidarity throughout the ordeal. Mr. Shawky challenged the charges to the fullest extent before they went to trial. I was provided with constant updates and Mr. Shawky was so persistent and adept in his negotiations that the prosecution dropped all of my original charges! I would highly recommend Tarek Shawky as a lawyer who will tenaciously defend clients with the full extent of his experience, expertise and integrity. I am honored to have been represented by such a genuine person and professional lawyer. I know emotive symbols aren't typically in professional reviews, but I really have no better way of ending my review than with a big smile and a heart of gratitude! :)! ~ one of the Foxy 6 read more
