"Best Landlord Tenant Lawyer in Washington, DC"

We specialize in protecting businesses and homes. If you own a restaurant or business and your landlord wants to evict you, then let attorney Kamal Nawash stop your landlord.

Business Law & Real Estate Litigation--We can help you with all your legal business needs.

Whether you own a small, medium, or large business, you will need a lawyer if you expect to stay in business. A good business attorney will assist in every aspect of your business, from regulatory compliance to business incorporation and defending you from lawsuits. However, the best time to hire an attorney is before you get sued. A relationship with a business lawyer may reduce the likelihood of lawsuits by more than 80%.

Best Car Accident Lawyer--We have secured MILLIONS of $$$ Dollars for our clients.

If you were in a car accident, call us so we can get you the money you deserve. The following are helpful tips: (1) To make your case as strong as possible, call the police rather than just exchange information with other drivers. (2) Take pictures of the accident and (3) visit a hospital or Doctor immediately rather than wait until the next day. If you wait, insurance companies will assume you were not hurt. (4) Most importantly, do not talk to insurance companies until you talk to attorney Kamal Nawash. REMEMBER: Insurance companies record phone conversations to avoid paying you the money you deserve.

  The L&T Branch is a specialized forum: the only plaintiffs are landlords seeking possession of a rental unit. Most cases solely allege nonpayment of rent. Approximately 98% of the tenants sued in the L&T Branch are not represented by counsel. About 5% of landlords also appear pro se.
