“I have had a great experience with Mansour Law Firm as they helped me with an issue I had with a bank in Egypt and their advice was very helpful and it resulted in me finally getting access to my account again by being a go-between.
I would thoroughly recommend their service especially if you’re a foreigner in Egypt. They speak perfectly good English too which is always a bonus. Very helpful and polite and keeps in regular contact.”
