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.

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.
