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.

Diligent, thorough and listens

The details of the Divorce were complicated. When I first met Mr. Ahmed, he articulated the judicial challenges; time paths, costs and outcome expectations. His paralegal staff was always on top of things during the process, even through the obstacles placed by Opposing Counsel. Mr. Ahmed was prom...pt and professional for every Court, Mediation and Deposition Appearance. The outcome of my case was almost spot on with regards to the entire settlement. I highly recommend Mr. Ahmed. He is also a good person and that was important in my decision to choose his services. These difficult proceedings had a fair outcome for all concerned.

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.

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!!!!
