UNCLASSIFIED
LIST OF ATTORNEYS
(Updated June 2021)
How to use this list: For your convenience, lawyers have
been listed under three general headings: “family law”, “criminal
defense”, and “general civil and commercial practice.” While
lawyers in Jordan as a general rule do not specialize in particular
areas of law, many attorneys in general practice are not equipped to
handle family law or criminal defense matters. Thus, our list
specifically notes lawyers who work in these areas. Keep in mind
that lawyers listed as family or criminal law “specialists” are
usually prepared to handle civil and commercial matters as well.
Further, many of the lawyers listed under the heading “general civil
and commercial practice” are willing to help with family or
criminal matters, often by hiring a specialist on the client’s behalf,
and acting as a go-between. In some cases, this may be helpful, as
many lawyers handling family and criminal matters do not speak
English. Finally, the lawyers on this list vary considerably in the
how much they charge clients for their services. Most will quote a
flat rate to handle the entire case from start to finish, though some
charge by the hour.
The Embassy of the United States of America assumes no
responsibility or liability for the professional ability or reputation
of, or the quality of services provided by, the following persons or
firms.
Inclusion on this list is in no way an endorsement by the
Department of State or the Embassy of the United States of
America. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in which
they appear has no other significance. The information in the list
on professional credentials, areas of expertise and language ability
are provided directly by the lawyers. You may receive additional
information about the individuals by contacting the local bar
association, telephone number (962)(6)566-5818, website:
