Family Law

Exceptional lawyer. Always responsive. Honest and open exposing every possible situation even when I didn't want to hear it. I'm grateful for his services. Syed is an exceptional attorney with values and competancies that will serve you in any legal matter. Syeds experience shows in all his ac...tions, experience that mattered to my family at the most critical time.

Above and beyond.

I called many lawyer about my custody case but Syed is the only one who personally picked up the phone; the rest went to their secretaries and voicemails. I knew then this is the person I want to represent me. Syed and his staff exceeded my expectations; I was a wreck and very scared for myself and m...y daughter but Syed went above and beyond to make me feel empowered and safe. I had to call him one night when law enforcement were called to my house and he picked up my call immediately and took charge. With Syed's help, the judge granted me everything we asked for. He is passionate about his work; dedicated and assertive. I pray to never have the need to hire a lawyer again but if I ever need one, I know who to call.

Syed Ahmed, Tampa

I highly recommend Mr Ahmed for any legal advice needed. He has years in both the prosecution side and now years as defense. Got both of my cases dismissed. I have used other lawyers in Tampa in the past, and Syed was more aggressive, knowledgable and poised with the judge than any others. Consult ...Syed Ahmed first!

Excellent lawyer and straightforward individual.

At the worst time of my divorce process, I looked for and hired Mr. Ahmed's services. He became a great source of comfort, understanding and true guidance for me. He is a very ethical, experienced and strong attorney with super smart strategies, all reasonably priced. I got a better result than I eve...r expected and knowing he was and is my lawyer, gave me then and now, much piece of mind. I finally was able to get my life back on track with my child. Custody was the big issue in my case and Mr. Ahmed truly got me the results I was hoping for and for which I was fighting for. I highly recommend his services. When it comes to women going through a divorce, you can expect as his client to feel protected and sure that he will work to get you and your dependents, what you deserve and need.

Divorce with a child

As a self proclaimed perfectionist, it's very easy to find a flaw in something or someone. In reviewing Syed however, I'm struggling to find even a minor flaw to write about. Syed came recommended from a colleague and buddy of mine, and I couldn't have been more pleased when it was all said and done.... I fall into the 27-32 age bracket with a bare minimum of "Law knowledge", and didn't have an issue at all "connecting" with Syed. After the initial phone call introducing myself and explaining my situation, I hung up the phone and couldn't believe how "put it in my place" I felt, and I mean that in a securing/safety blanket type feeling. The best way to REALLY describe him is "matter of fact", adamant, and knowledgable. The man has no problem telling you what you HAVE to hear be it good or bad, and that's the way it should be if you'd like my opinion. If you're like me and don't put up with being nickel and dime'd with shadiness, I know this is going to be cliché, but look no further. I think a lot of it also has to do with his paralegal (which is who you'll be communicating the most with, that is unless you prefer to blow your $ contacting Syed personally all the time), I cannot say enough good about her as well. Enough sounding like I'm getting paid for this. Bottom line is, it's very reassuring to know that should I ever need an attorney again, I don't have to go looking around asking friends for referrals again.
