Leadership & Firm History

Nabeel’s passion for litigation, specifically criminal defense and justice for victims, combined with his love for the District of Columbia led to the creation of Ervin Kibria Law/Ervin Kibria PLLC with his co-founder Justin Ervin, and continues now with the expansion of Monument Legal in DC with his partners Christopher Mutimer, Jay Mykytiuk and Steven Ogilvie.
In addition to his current expertise and practice areas, Mr. Kibria will lead Monument Legal’s Sports and Athlete Representation practice area, which will launch in 2026.
Client-Centered Approach
Nabeel has a deep understanding of his clients’ needs, fears and concerns when they are charged with a particular offense or when fighting opponents to claim justice for wrongs they have suffered.
Clients choose to be represented by Nabeel because of his talent, experience and his ability to calm their fears and provide results through his honesty, compassion and his dedication to their individual matters.
Litigation Philosophy
Nabeel is a vigorous attorney who is always ready to fight aggressively for his clients until the right outcome has been secured. He is committed to offering his clients the best possible legal representation in the District and across the nation.
Nabeel will always “go to bat” for his clients and will take a case to trial if that is what is necessary to deliver justice. The attorneys at Monument Legal genuinely share the belief that being prepared and willing to fight for clients is the only way to practice law.
In both, his personal and professional lives, Mr. Kibria lives by two unwavering principles – a commitment to excellence in everything he does and a commitment to always pursue the best outcome, no matter the goal or challenge.
Outside the Courtroom
Outside of the courtroom, Nabeel is an art and music enthusiast, as well as a voracious Washington D.C sports fan. As a University of Miami alumnus, Nabeel bleeds orange and green for his Miami Hurricanes.
