About Mohammad
Biography
As an experienced defense attorney, I have been in the trenches of many courtroom battles. I have handled thousands of serious criminal cases, hundreds of preliminary hearings and numerous trials. I have a passion to represent those charged in criminal cases. I thrive in arguing my client’s position and I am relentless in negotiating on their behalf. I have seen clients overjoyed at results that they thought they could never achieve. Also, I have seen clients struggle to make difficult choices that would not only impact their future, but the futures of many of their loved ones. It is these experiences that drive me to fight hard for my clients every day. If you are looking for aggressive representation, then look for further than the Qazi Law Group.
