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.

Great lawyer!

I Just finished a long and temultuous divorce in December 2017. I could not have picked a better lawyer than Syed Ahmed! Not only is he very experienced, but he is a straight shooter and tries to work through the proceedings as quickly as possible to save his clients as much money as they can. ...Going through multiple mediations, he kept cool and levelheaded and actually helped me convince my ex to take several of the offers we were presenting that she did not want to take. He’s a great guy and I would recommend him highly to anyone!

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.

Excellent Attorney

Syed from the get go was straight to the point and all business. I was the victim of an unfortunate situation and I had a lot to lose. Syed was contacted 24 hours before my first appearance in court, and he was there with very little preparation time only to get me the best result I could have gott...en. He was able to take my case and within less than a week and a half, and work with the powers that be to not even get the case filed and closed out. I would recommend Syed to friends, family, as well as anyone in passing. He is very quick, diligent, to the point, knowledgeable of the system, and true professional in his field. Like myself, he is a family man and made my family feel very comforted during this unfortunate time. I feel within his scope of practice, anyone would be doing themselves a disservice if they did not at least consider speaking with Syed to obtain his services.
