Mr. Mark Nejame and I become acquainted a few of years ago. I chose his firm after due diligence and felt his stellar reputation in Orlando for many years was a deciding factor for me. And the fact he has such admirable qualities was also important to me as well. Recently I was in need of his assistance and he answered my request as promised. Mark, I would just like to say thank you for helping with a legal matter that arose. Though it is never easy to go through a situation that may require an attorney you always made me feel as though you were concerned and gave excellent advice to handle the situation that was presented to you. I give you "10" stars. Continue the great work that you do for all of those who come seeking legal assistance with your Law Firm. I am proud to say that you are my attorney, if and when I may need you in the future. Your character, integrity and reputation and compassion are truly amazing! I highly recommend Nejame Law to anyone looking for an experienced Law firm in Orlando and the surrounding area.

I hired NeJame lawfirm to represent me with my car accident and received a great service. Had the best experience and great help from Mary Weiser , she was very helpful and supportive. She made me feel good through the process and was always available and easy to keep in touch with. She was a blessing and always kept me informed of what was going on.

He has worked on two separate cases, one which involving a convicted felon with a deadly weapon that case was dropped with no probable cause.... the other case has got dismissed. (grand theft auto 3rd degree) Case dismiss under certain conditions. Please have patience with him because they will work as a Team & with you to get the job done. It is well worth it !!!!

Very pleased with his legal representation. We found Mr. NeJame through AVVO last year and we decided to have a consultation with him. It did not take more than that for us to decide we wanted him to handle our case. We were being falsely accused of fraud and scared to death. Mr NeJame and his staff helped us feel like we could breath again! Charges were dropped and we are back in track. We would recommend him to anyone being falsly accused
