One of The Best!!

This lawyer does his job from the heart and not the money, there is not too many out there you can say that about. He was able to get my Felony and misdemeanor charges dropped, leaving me with my rights to the second amendment.

Posted by Diaby | June 04, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Greatest result.

This Law firm represented me on many occasions (criminal charges ,expungement ,car accident, and bodily injury ) never was I disappointed, Ameer thank you from the bottom of my heart, I can’t thank enough the Amazing Olivia for her professionalism, efficiency and care, I recommend this law firm for ...everyone seeking honest attorneys who don’t mess around nor play games . I never regretted any $$$$ spent here.

Posted by Andrea | December 09, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

AMAZING LAWYER....MUST HAVE THIS LAWYER!!!!!

Let me just say that Ameer is AMAZING!!!!! I'd still be in trouble if it wasn't for him....i was amazed that he got my felonies dropped down 2 a misdemeanor and i was out of jail. I didn't think i was getting out. But i was really at the wrong place at the wrong time and the kenton county cops did li...e and Ameer did his job and beyond to get my charges dropped. I honestly don't know what i would've done without him. He is so nice and very confident and works his butt off 4 u. So if u need a lawyer i would definitely pick Ameer without hesitation. I'm living proof that Ameer is the best lawyer can get. He researches every thing and he goes in that courtroom and fights for you like your his own child. Hes very understanding...he makes everything clear enough where you know exactly whats gonna happen before you go in the courtroom. I honestly don't think Ameer can lose a case even on his worst day. I'm telling everyone you will regret not getting Ameer if you don't pick him for your attorney and thats a guarantee. I love Ameer and hes very handsome and charming but he's also married...but anyways I'm just saying I'm glad he was my attorney and if you ever have any questions he always answers his phone. Good luck to everyone and i can't wait to hear others reviews about Ameer. It makes me happy!!!! Thanks Ameer for everything especially giving my life back to me and for that i can never repay you!!!!!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
