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.

By far the best!

Hiring Syed was the best decision I could have ever made! From the very beginning I felt very comfortable with him. I called him and started explaining my situation and he met me down at the office. I brought every piece of paper I could think of that would apply to my case. He got to know me as a pe...rson and worked to no end on my case! Throughout the entire process I knew exactly what was going on and they sent me every piece of paper that pertained to my divorce. Syed and his law firm have a plethora of knowledge and experience to back it. He was very honest and straight forward with me. He met with me a few times during the divorce process and let me know some of the possible outcomes that we would run into. He didn't sugar coat anything. He took a lot of stress off my shoulders when I hired him!! Do yourself a favor and hire Syed and his law firm.

One of a kind, the best!!

I was introduced to Syed Ahmed due to a conflict of interest with my first lawyer, thr truth is that it was a blessing in disguise. From our very first meeting and continuing through the preliminary formalities/court filings and dispositions of my case, Syed proved that he was more than your average... attorney. What sets Syed apart is that he does not perceive his role as being limited by standard lawyer obligations to a client; he goes far and above duty to help you with what ever it is. My case was complicated with unforeseen health issues and his concern was overwhelming. Especially in divorce proceedings, having an attorney who really wants to understand you pain and anguish, and is prepared to stand with you all the way, could spell the difference between winning and losing your case. In what could have a disastrous outcome, Syed's encouragement, compassion, industry and -above all- spectacular legal skills made me a winner. I was married for 30yrs, and not paying a penny in alimony, you need Syed on your side, not theirs! He made me a very happy man, a completely satisfied client. If you need a lawyer, the best lawyer, then I recommend you contact Syed without delay!!!!

Best Lawyer ever!!!!!!!

when I first met Syed I was a little uncomfortable with most attorneys. once I sat down in his office and had a conversation I realized after leaving his office that he was actually the real deal. I finally found a attorney who listens. he never over talked me or act as if he was a God and is my savi...or! he really act as if he care about me and what I am going through! That's very rare with most attorney these days. I couldn't believe how he never rushed me out his office or off the phone. Finding an top rated attorney that care about their client is rare now a days and Syed is definitely someone who I completely trust with my life.
