Abdel-Rahman Hamed is a plaintiff-side public interest attorney with a record of success litigating civil rights, constitutional rights, employment discrimination, and complex immigration cases. He is the founder of Hamed Law, a values-based, purpose-driven, national law firm that is committed to empowering people and populations targeted by discrimination.

Discrimination, based on group status such as race/ethnicity, gender, religion, ability, age, or immigration status, perpetuates gross inequities. Targeted populations face insurmountable barriers to healthcare, to housing, to nutrition, to education, to capital, to employment, and to a dignified life.

Mr. Hamed specializes in defending, restoring, and asserting the human dignity, civil rights, constitutional rights, and human rights of people and populations targeted by discrimination. He takes on offenders in government, private industry, and nonprofits.

Finally I AM A US. Citizen
After a Long struggle with the immigration process almost for years and a denial for the case. we almost lost our hope of winning then we finally found an amazing lawyer, Abdelrahman who won the case without even going to the court room They asked him to drop the case and they will give me the citizenship, it was such a big relief for me and my family I finally traveled aboard as an American citizen .ABDELRAHMAN did an outstanding effort he is very knowledgeable , patient I couldn’t ask for more professional lawyer ,Even when things got complicated he went over and beyond to assist he is very trustworthy and sincere and finally I got my citizenship with a divine intervention and his Amazing effort ,I highly recommend Abdelrahman for others ,This is not only my opinion but Also A lot of our friends whom he represented in their cases
