Managing Attorney
I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. This city shaped my values—hard work, resilience, and loyalty—and those values are at the core of how I practice law. Cleveland isn’t just where I’m from; it’s part of who I am.
I’m a trial lawyer who represents people facing the most serious legal challenges of their lives. I defend clients charged with violent offenses such as murder, rape, felonious assault, and aggravated robbery, as well as major drug crimes and complex white-collar cases involving theft, fraud, and embezzlement. I’ve secured not guilty verdicts and case dismissals in high-stakes trials where everything was on the line.
My work also extends to civil litigation, including personal injury cases where I’ve delivered substantial settlements for clients injured by negligence. I represent clients in domestic violence matters as well—both in criminal proceedings and in civil protection order hearings—where outcomes can have lasting consequences on families and futures.
Every client I take on at The Elkhatib Law Office receives personal attention, honest counsel, and a fierce advocate in their corner. I care deeply about the people I represent, and I take their cases personally. My belief is simple: the truth always wins. And I fight every day to make sure it does.
