Thank you

Syed was recommended to me by a mutual friend. I was seeking to modify timesharing, parental responsibility, child support, and cleanup some other issues. My ex had established a pattern of using attorney's fees as a negotiating tactic due to our income differences so there were no easy conversatio...ns. It was a complex case and Syed delivered. My time with my kids increased, I obtained decision making rights where needed, adjusted my monthly support obligation, and clearly established that attorney's fees won't be used as a negotiating tactic going forward. I truly believe that Syed's extensive litigation experience was critical to settling my case; he was prepped for trial days in advance and we were prepared to negotiate or litigate when my ex finally came to the table to talk the night before trial. Personally, Syed was always incredibly responsive to email and phone calls. He gave me great counsel about where to press and where to negotiate on my case. I've already referred two friends to Syed and won't hesitate to send friends or family his way in the future!

methodical, intelligent, and highly professional

Syed Ahmed is an excellent lawyer. In representing our family, we found him to be methodical, intelligent, highly professional, and above all warm and friendly. He is very skilled at what he does, makes smart moves, and gets good results. We were very fortunate to have him as our attorney.

Excellent Counsel.

Syed Ahmed came highly recommended through his piers in the Family Law community. Syed provided excellent counsel throughout my families timesharing negotiations. He went above and beyond expectations leading the negotiation process and delivering an outcome agreeable to all parties during mediatio...n. He directly saved me time and the expense of a drawn-out court appearance. I fully recommend Syed Ahmed for any Family Law litigation.

The best Attorney I've ever encountered!

When I needed an attorney I did a thorough review of many firms. I wanted someone that had years of experience and had spent a lot of time in the courtroom. When I met Mr. Ahmed I was extremely impressed with his demeanor and what he told me about his experience. I felt very comfortable from the star...t when I chose to hire his services. The first thing that shocked me was his available and continues updates on my case. He was tenacious in his approach and was driven to help me obtain the very best possible results. I would not hesitate to recommend his to family, friends or anyone that wants someone who truly is there for you every step of the way!!
