Integerity Integrity and Integrity

My case was 7 years in court, 3 judges and 5 attorneys with 3 court ordered mediations that failed. Syed is not only realistic and gives you an honest knowledgeable opinion, but also goes out of his way to help you resolve your case. Yes, he makes less money of you and does not drag your case (almost... non existent in the system, based on my years of personal experience). He put my case to bed and outside of a court hearing in a matter of few months. I cannot express my gratitude to Mr. Ahmed.

Excellent lawyer and straightforward individual.

At the worst time of my divorce process, I looked for and hired Mr. Ahmed's services. He became a great source of comfort, understanding and true guidance for me. He is a very ethical, experienced and strong attorney with super smart strategies, all reasonably priced. I got a better result than I eve...r expected and knowing he was and is my lawyer, gave me then and now, much piece of mind. I finally was able to get my life back on track with my child. Custody was the big issue in my case and Mr. Ahmed truly got me the results I was hoping for and for which I was fighting for. I highly recommend his services. When it comes to women going through a divorce, you can expect as his client to feel protected and sure that he will work to get you and your dependents, what you deserve and need.

Syed: Professionalism , Knowledge and Dedication

Syed has been a pillar for me at a time in which the rest of the world seemed to be crumbling around me. He is forthright with his information and pulls no punches, which is just what I've needed. He went beyond the role of a counsel and has become a friend in the process of what I thought would be... an open and close divorce/Child Support , He ’s a true counselor that cares about you and your family. He was always in contact during the emergencies. ( A+++) He was very proactive and even during weekends and nights sometimes called me to keep me posted. He really understands what is the best strategy to make things happen. Even after my problem was solved he kept helping me by providing guidance and support. Mr Syed Ahmed, was fair and reasonable with his legal fees. I was even able to establish a payment plan with him which helped me not have to pay fees all at once. I would highly highly highly recommend his services and representation. you won't be disappointed

Excellent Counsel.

Syed Ahmed came highly recommended through his piers in the Family Law community. Syed provided excellent counsel throughout my families timesharing negotiations. He went above and beyond expectations leading the negotiation process and delivering an outcome agreeable to all parties during mediatio...n. He directly saved me time and the expense of a drawn-out court appearance. I fully recommend Syed Ahmed for any Family Law litigation.
