About Dabbagh
"Dabbagh clearly qualified as an expert on international child
abduction because of her knowledge, training and practical experience”.
Shady v Shady. (Ind. Ct. App. Dec. 11, 2006, No. 53A01-0605-
CV-222)
On the Frontlines of Abduction for More than a Decade...
Illionios Court of Appeals
“Based upon her evaluation of the case in light of these factors, Dabbagh opined that there was a grave risk that ( ) would abduct the children. As the risk of abduction was the trial
court's primary consideration in ruling upon Dawn's petition for preliminary injunction, we believe that the proffered testimony would have been of assistance to the trial court in
understanding the evidence and determinating the facts at issue...As such, we believe that Dabbagh's testimony constituted scientific evidence.”
Jawad and Whalen (Il Ct. App. Nov. 28, 2001. No. 99--D--1780. No. 2--01--0452 )
Maureen, you were very kind to share as much of your time with me as you did and I will always remember it....I hope I never have another occasion to need any of your assistance but if I do, I know you are willing and interested to help.
Thank you,

Ms. Dabbagh was successful in convincing the court of the gravity of the risk of abduction to the Middle East.... I highly recommend Ms. Dabbagh to other individuals or groups seeking the assistance of an expert on international parental abduction..."

"It's been more than a year and a half since first becoming acquainted with Maureen Dabbagh for help, when my own son was abducted to Syria. He has since been recovered, due in part to insightful and informative choices Maureen helped me make....For countless appreciative parents, Maureen Dabbagh is synonymous with hope. She relieves a bit of a parent's anguish and suffering as numerous parent's searching for their child/ren more often than not, end up on a dead end....I know Maureen to be tenacious and driven. She has dedicated many years to cumulative research and endless nights pouring over countless cases which have littered her desk. Maureen has not only been sought out by my attorney as an "expert" on international abduction, but is frequently sought out by numerous other attorney's representing litigating parents including judges in cases they're currently presiding over....She's been a pioneer in abduction prevention and has become a wealth of information...The key to preventing abduction is knowledge. The Key to knowledge is Maureen."
