About Ahmad

The firm primarily sues debt collectors for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.  Examples of cases the firm has brought are for debt collectors:

1. Suing persons who are the victim of identity theft or who otherwise do not owe the debt.  

2.  Continuing to garnish wages or remove money from a bank account after a consumer files an "Order to Show Cause" in civil court ordering the debt collector to cease collections until there is a hearing on the consumer's request to vacate a judgment.  

3.  Continuing to maintain a freeze on a bank account, take money from a bank account, or garnish wages after the consumer has an order vacating the judgment.

      I have known Ahmad and known of him for over a decade. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and cares deeply about making sure his clients understand their rights. On top of that, he knows the courtroom and the court process. If you have a Consumer Law problem and his office is anywhere near you, I highly recommend him to you.
