About Ameer
Biography
I grew up on the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio. I went to the University of Kentucky and the University of Dayton School of Law. The people on both sides of the Ohio river in Kentucky and Ohio will always be my people. Greater Cincinnati is my home.
After finishing school, I moved back to Cincinnati with my wife to raise our 3 children. I don't want to live or raise my children in a world where law enforcement, the government, or large corporations have unrestricted authority and control over the lives and futures of the average person, especially when their decisions are based on assumptions, speculation, inconsistent discretion, or some ulterior motive instead of solid evidence, justice, and humanity.
If you are being investigated, accused of a crime, or suffered injuries in an accident, please DO NOT SPEAK WITH ANYONE about your situation without first consulting a skilled, confident, experienced attorney. Consultations with me are free and confidential.
I represent my client like I would myself, family, and close friends. I have proven during my career that I have the passion and perseverance to provide my clients the best representation even while handling some of the worst situations to achieve amazing results against the odds. Business and the legal system aside, I care about my clients and their families. Keeping up with online marketing like this may be important to business. However, my clients are my best source of advertisement. I don't have the power to put words in their mouths or create their feelings about me in their hearts. I just continue to be me and do what I do best for my people.
*This is an advertisement and nothing communicated here creates an attorney-client relationship. Ameer E. Mabjish, Esq. and Mabjish Law, PLLC do not represent you unless we have fully discussed and agreed upon the terms of representation in writing. We provide legal services in Ohio & Kentucky.
