About

My employment law experience began through defending employers and insurance companies in employment law matters. I am presently representing employees exclusively. Having worked for both employees and employers has helped both me and my clients tremendously. I enjoy working on employment law cases and helping employees who have suffered discrimination and retaliation. Employment law protections are part of the Civil Rights Act. And to that end, I see my work as a continuation of the work laid down by other civil rights wokers and attorneys.

I had a complicated case that many other top-notch lawyers from big law firms wouldn't touch wearing a hazmat suit! However, in AJ came to the rescue. He worked tirelessly to get the case resolved quickly and to my satisfaction. The best part is he actually responds to his texts and emails promptly! I promise you he won't ghost you! So, if you have a complicated case that you feel will never be resolved, I encourage you, stop thinking and start dialing. Call AJ. It's the best decision you will ever make in your entire life!!!!! Why are you still reading? Call!!!

When I first reached out to AJ over getting railroaded from my job I didn't even know what ADA and FMLA discrimination was. AJ gave me the first steps to take hoping that it would solve the problem even before talking lawsuits. When my employer refused to accede only then did we file a lawsuit. If he had not alerted me to take those first early steps I would have had no case. With AJ it is quality over quantity. He is not a lawyer that takes cases just to pad the bottom line. If he think's your case has a chance he will tell you straight up, likewise if your potential case looks bad he will tell you. When you hire him you hire him. You won't be talking to a answering service or a receptionist. What I have learned in this process is that justice is not about being right or wrong, it is about being the best prepared to make your case. With that you have to be prepared to realize that most defendants will spend a fortune to fight you even if it would cost less to settle. While a judge and jury may rule in your favor any potential damages may be far less than expected. (That's just the way federal courts work) You have to decide if you want a moral victory or a economic one. AJ will get you there. He was not only my lawyer but became my friend. He is there for you every step of the way, and yes we settled my case very successfully and I am under a NDA so I will have to post this anonymously.

Mr.Dhalil has been helpful to me with this whole process. He is very patient and was more than willing to answer any question I had. He was also very informative which was great. He is an excellent lawyer.

I was sure I would just have to accept what happened to me. I knew I was wronged, I didn’t know what to do about it though. That’s when I hired AJ Dhali. From the time of our first communication AJ had my case completely planned out and he always made me feel confident in what the outcome would be. AJ had everything under control and organized, and he asked me all the right questions so he could build a solid case. I supplied AJ with facts conveying what happened to me at the onset, but then AJ did everything else. I was so amazed at how he Instinctively knew and understood what I had been through. I sometimes have a difficulty explaining myself. AJ read between the lines and exercised a great deal of patience. He made me feel it was okay to ask many questions and have things explained in detail. I always felt in good hands. In the end, AJ won my case and I came away with more than I ever imagined. I’ve told many friends and acquaintances about AJ. If I ever need an attorney again, I won’t think twice about contacting AJ. If you’ve taken the time to read this review, I suggest you invest 15 minutes into calling AJ. It’ll be a great decision on your part, with a great outcome.

AJ was nothing short of amazing. Professional, punctual, understanding, diligent and definitely a force to be reckon with in the court room. I will forever and always be thankful for his counsel especially considering I was states away from his firm. I would highly recommend him to anyone 10x's over. I couldn't have picked a better attorney for my case....I truly can't thank him enough!

After a search of several lawyers, AJ agreed to take my case. He was vigilant and knows discrimination laws very well. His motions were carefully crafted and kept the case focused while the opposing side tried to deflect attention; motion after motion. When it comes to employment law, AJ is the ace attorney that can take on anyone in the court room.

AJ is a blessing in disguise. I hired him right away. It's like the lord sent an angel overnight. I'm a humbled individual and at the time I was dealing with some mean spirited folks. He made me feel comfortable even when times were tough. His integrity, wits, and unbiased soul for his craft as an employment attorney is nothing more than astounding. He puts in the work and make sure you have the best representation anyone can ask for. Aj informed me about everything that was going on and informed me about some situations to be mindful of. However, his dedication (even while out of town w/family) was heartwarming and guided me every step of the way. Would I recommend Mr. Dhali? Yes, as long as I'm abled. The truth is, even if I didn't win, I would give him the same review and recommend him to anyone who is need of help from a trusted/knowledgeable attorney. If I had to do an essay on Employment Lawyers, I would choose AJ Dhali without hesitation. He is that attorney. He is awesome!

Recently at my previous and current job I had been discriminated, harassed, retaliated against etc. Over a period of time I did plenty of research online regarding my situation at work and on several firms "Attorneys" that would more than likely take my case. I called 3 big "EXPENSIVE" firms prior to calling Aj and explained my situation at work and they pretty much gave me the "round around" and made me feel like all they wanted was my hard earned money. One day here on Avvo.com I came across Aj's profile and I started to read his client's comments "reviews" and I came across one review that stood out to me "they called him the Underdog" -_-. Well let me tell you for a Underdog he defintely has a Big bite and is keeping up with the Big dogs quite easliy. I consulted with him at his office and I immediately could tell he knew his pratice areas, and he was honest with me regarding my case. From the time that I hired Aj Dhali to represent me in my case to now, he has been amazing. He is very knowledgeable and Sharp, his is commited to actually help you get to a solution plus on the upside he actually picks up the phone and returns your call when you try to reach him "OMG lol" Its a good and comforting feeling knowing that you wont walk alone. With Aj Dhali's knowledge and ability I personally recommend you give him a call and consult with him, its been the best call I have made. Kudos to you Aj Dhali, you are truely the Phantom behind the Shadows :-)

From our initial telephone consultation, it was clear to me that Mr Dhali was the lawyer I should have had a year ago. Empathy, understanding and a sense of what could be done to help - all were immediately conveyed and for the first time in this very complicated case against big business and a pitbull of opposing counsel, I did not feel totally alone and swimming against the tide. Highly recommended from our consultation alone. Thanks AJ.
