Outstanding Legal Representation

I evaluated several Family Law attorneys before meeting with Syed and was immediately impressed with his knowledge and description of the impending legal proceedings. He was direct and clear while explaining how things would unfold and I was immediately confident in his abilities to represent me. Bot...h he and his assistant were always forthcoming with information and advice, directing me through my preparation for the divorce process. His efforts directly contributed to our successful mediation, which helped avoid a more costly pathway. He developed an outstanding legal plan which resulted in my balanced custody agreement and protected by TSP savings and retirement from being partitioned. Syed was a difference maker in my divorce proceedings and I cannot recommend him enough.

professional and

I contacted Mr. Ahmed regarding divorce proceedings. I was originally pursuing a mediated divorce, but after describing my agreement between my ex-spouse and I, Mr. Ahmed was able to suggest a more expedited process. I immediately felt very comfortable with and confident his counsel. And because I... was soon moving abroad with my work, it was important that the process happen as quickly as possible. Mr. Ahmed and his staff walked me through the entire process and submitted my uncontested divorce documents within a matter of weeks. Due to my travel, Mr. Ahmed secured an expedited court hearing, and made sure I received certified copies of my divorce decree the same day as the hearing. My correspondence with Mr. Ahmed's firm was always pleasant and timely. If I ever have legal needs in the future, I will, without hesitation, hire Mr. Ahmed to represent me. I give Mr. Ahmed and his firm my highest recommendation.

Honest, knowledgebale, caring, not after your money. Not many like him out there!

After talking to several lawyers in the area without getting clear answers, I came across Mr. Syed Ahmed’s information and could not understand how he could have such great reviews on this site. At the beginning I was a little skeptical knowing that all other lawyers did not come close to his positiv...e feedback and since I had never been in a situation like this, but soon enough I learned that the reviews were completely true. Mr. Ahmed not only got me out of a very unfair injunction case by demonstrating that it had been fabricated in front of a family judge but also took my divorce case and worked out a payment plan for me. Mr. Ahmed and his stuff listened to me, provided advice and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He personally texted me a few times from his cell phone after hours and during the weekend with updates and request for information. Mr. Ahmed is a family oriented person and will treat you as a friend when you will most need it. He might not necessarily tell you what you want to hear, but he will be honest and realistic and will guide you through to reach a positive outcome. Thanks for your guidance and for helping me close this chapter.

Good Timing

Let me first start off by saying I was very satisfied with his work performance. I was put in a position where I was getting to the end of a divorce with another Law Firm when they gave notice they were closing. Not confident with current consul I called Mr. Ahmed 2 weeks before I was to go to trial... and asked him to take my case. He accepted and we took a two week crash course in all the info my former attorney gathered and prepared for trial. He was honest, always gave me an option's., very hard working and patient. I liked his communication skills and the fact he is well-versed in his field. I was very pleased at the way he handled himself during trial and the outcome as well. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

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.
