HIS KNOWLEDGE, PERSISTENCE, PREPERATION, AND ESPECIALLY HIS PRESENCE IN THE COURTROOM WERE PHENOMENAL.
D.W. Former ClientClient's rating: 5 of 5
Haytham has a wealth of experience in the Marine Corps, rising through the enlisted ranks to Staff Sergeant, then earning a commission, serving as an infantry officer and then earning the distinction as a judge advocate in the Marines before retiring as a Major. He has been practicing for several years as a civilian defense counsel in both military and civilian criminal defense cases. He is a graduate of the esteemed Jerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College. He recently represented me in a complex sexual assault case that lasted over two years in the military after facing charges in the civilian courts. The case involved multiple accusations of rape and sexual assault and a litany of unscrupulous charges attempting to gain a conviction at all costs. His knowledge, persistence, preparation, and especially his presence in the courtroom were phenomenal. In pre-trial motions he knows the battles to fight and earns the respect of the judge and opposing counsel for his candor and demeanor. In trial, he connects with the members/jurors in a way that only a seasoned military professional with keen legal experience can. My case resulted in a full acquittal on all the rape and sexual assault charges. I put my absolute faith in his abilities and he never let me down.
PEOPLE ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT HIM AS MY DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND HOW THE PROSECUTOR AND THEIR WITNESSES LOOKED LIKE BUGS HITTING THE WINDSHIELD.
Senior Chief Michael N., Former Military Law ClientClient's rating: 5 of 5
I was informed in December that I M going to a SPCm for fraternization and other charges. Honestly I was very scared I thought I am going to loose everything and me and my family will end up on the streets. I start looking for a civilian military lawyer and hired a law firm in Chicago made up of ex- airforce officers. I was not impress on the lawyer from Chicago but I need someone to defend me. So with outfurther delay I payed this ex airforce lawyer and waited for him to give me some result, instead he agreed with the prosecutor’s deal of going to a summary court martial and reduction in rank. At this time this ex-airforce attorney is intimidating me in his emails and phone calls. I talked to a friend of mine and decided to fire this incompetent airforce lawyer and hire Mr. Haytham Faraj , when I talk to Mr Faraj the first time and told him what about my situation he give me an advice that I did not geared from my previous incompetent lawyer. I hired him right away and he was always there for me it doesn’t mAtter what time or day but he is always avsilabe to answer my question and give me and my family comfort. During the trial Mr Faraj defended me above and beyond my expectations . He attacked the prosecutor and their witnessess very effectively that a week after the trial people are still talking about him as my defense attorney and how the prosecutor and their witnessess looked like bugs hitting the windshield because of their lies and make up stories. At the end I walked away with only one charge, art- 92 with a letter of reprimand and a half month pay for a month. Eventhough this is a obvious selective persecution in my command and we are fighting against all odds, Mr Haytham Faraj defended me victoriously. I walked away with my rank. And clean name i highly recommend Haytham Faraj. He will never let you down and you will get the worth of your money.
HE IS HIGHLY RESPECTED AMONG THE PROSECUTOR COMMUNITY… HE SAVED MY MILITARY CAREER.

Mr. Faraj is an amazing lawyer but better yet, a genuine person. Mr. Faraj honorably served our country both as a leader on the enlisted and officer side in the Marine Corps. He was the top defense lawyer in the largest Marine base during his tenure as a Marine. He will represent you with these same unique values that led him to succeed in the most accomplished military branch in history. As his client, Mr. Faraj always kept me well informed of my case. It never felt like business to me. It felt more like he was taking good care of me. He spent many hours with me over the phone, prior to any commitments. He is highly respected among the prosecutor community, and he will try your case aggressively. I have referred him to a couple of friends that needed a lawyer, and won their cases. Mr. Faraj is the best lawyer you will find around. He saved my military career and prevented so much inconvenience for the rest of my life. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Mr. Faraj.
HAYTHAM WAS WORTH DOUBLE WHAT I PAID TO GET MY LIFE BACK.
Former Criminal Defense ClientClient's rating: 5 of 5
When I was falsely accused of rape by a civilian female last year, I thought my life, let alone my career was over. I called Haytham Faraj and he explained everything that was going on and what would happen next. His cross-examination of my accuser at the Article 32 hearing exposed her dishonesty to the degree that my investigating officer recommended dismissing the charges. What happened next was even more devastating. The command decided to go forward with a General Courts Martial against all recommendations after I had already been told the charges were being dismissed. Haytham was there for me anytime I called, answering my questions no matter how trivial and reassuring me that he had never lost a rape case and I wouldn’t be his first. I was charged with violations of Article 120, Aggravated Sexual Assault, Wrongful Sexual Act, Indecent Conduct and Article 133, Conduct Unbecoming an Officer and Gentleman. I was facing 37 years in prison and having to register as a sex offender if convicted of even one of the lesser included offenses. I thought there was no way my career would survive this even though I was innocent of the charges against me and my accuser was exposed as a liar. Throughout the trial Haytham was indefatigable in his cross-examination of the Prosecution’s witnesses. By the end of the first day I knew we had won the case. When the jury came back with a unanimous not guilty verdict I almost broke down. Haytham was there for me every step of the way. A few weeks later, I’m continuing with my career without the stigma of so much as even a single dissenting vote on one of the charges. Haytham was worth double what I paid to get my life back. Not only did he achieve the best possible result in my case, he truly cares about his clients. I don’t care whether you’re guilty or innocent of what you’re accused of; there is no one else I’d entrust with my future or recommend to anyone.
HE WAS REALISTIC WHEN PRESENTING THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE PROCESS… HE WAS BEHIND US 100% AND CONFIDENT IN HIS ABILITIES TO BRING ABOUT A FAVORABLE OUTCOME.
Barry, Former Military Law ClientClient's rating: 5 of 5
I was extremely impressed with Mr. Faraj’s professionalism, knowledge and empathy during our case. He was realistic when presenting the uncertainty of the process and expectations but was able to convey to me and my family that he was behind us 100% and confident in his abilities to bring about a favorable outcome. I recommend him without reservation.
I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS OVER…HE GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK.
Cpl Y, Former Military Law ClientClient's rating: 5 of 5
I was accused of Rape by two different women. I thought my life was over. Major Faraj was my military attorney. His cross examination of one of the girls during an Article 32 made her so angry that she stopped answering questions. A couple of weeks later she withdrew her accusation. We went to trial with only one girl accusing me. He called my accuser’s friend to the stand and got her to admit that her friend is a liar. He also called a medical expert who also admitted that she changed the documents after the original medical report was filed. The jury found me not guilty of all charges and I left the military with an honorable discharge. He gave me my life back.
AFTER A ONE WEEK TRIAL I WAS ACQUITTED OF ALL THE CHARGES.
Capt B, Former Military Law ClientClient's rating: 5 of 5
Major Faraj represented me when I was charged by several very charges by my command. The command wanted me to plead guilty and go to jail for 3 years. The command flew witnesses from all over the world in a case that had thousands of documents having to do with financial accounts and property. Major Faraj the government’s own witnesses to admit that I was an outstanding officer and that the accounts were poorly managed for a long time. After a one week trial I was acquitted of all the charges except one minor charge for which I received no punishment.
MY LIFE ALL BUT COLLAPSED AROUND ME… THE PROSECUTORS GAVE DEALS TO TWO SENIOR MARINES FOR THEIR TESTIMONY AGAINST ME… MAJOR FARAJ DESTROYED THEIR STORIES AND THEIR CREDIBILITY.
MSgt J, Former Military Law ClientClient's rating: 5 of 5
I’m married and have two children. When I was charged with the illegal transportation of weapons. My life all but collapsed around me. My wife and I were terribly stressed and our morale was destroyed. I went to see Major Faraj as I was considering hiring a famous California lawyer to represent me. I was innocent but I was very afraid because the prosecutors gave deals to two senior Marines for their testimony against me. Needless to say, Major Faraj destroyed their stories and their credibility. He showed them to be liars and proved my innocence. The command dropped the charges for the General court-martial after the Article 32.
