Completely Honored To Meet Him

Nabiel Ahmed is definitely a savior! I went to him with a huge load of stress on my shoulders, very little time to figure things out, and no expectations on receiving any results as quickly as he gave them to me. No time or money was wasted; he got straight down to business. He told me all the ...possible outcomes of my case explaining them in a way that I was able to understand, he answered any questions that I had, and he made sure that I was nothing but comfortable and satisfied with his services. After talking with him for about twenty minutes, I left his office feeling relieved and confident that everything will go right in court for me and sure enough it did! It took all of 10 minutes for Nabiel to convince the judge to rule in his favor and believe me , his favor is GOOD. He fought for me to get that second chance in life and his fight left me trouble free and my record clean. So if you have an upcoming date in the criminal courts, give Nabiel a call and see what he has to offer. Guaranteed he will offer you something that you need. Thank You again Nabiel! You're the best.

Nabiel C Ahmed

Hey, Everyone. Nabiel Ahmed. Has been my lawyer for the past year. He's very knowledgeable laws, rule and what he believes is best for his Client. In my case I had about four Felonies they want to try me with. I told Nabiel to do whatever he had to do in order for me not to get charged as a felony.... I took my case to trial, instead of trying their plea deal they wanted me to. At the end of my Trial i got the best deal i have every heard of. I was able to get off of all the charges, by agreeing not to get invloved with any illegal activities for one year. I believe Nabiel is a very good lawyer.

ill keep it simple, i had a legal problem that defiantly required a lawyer and i called around, of all the attorneys that i contacted the only one that could give me a solid answer was Nabiel. he worked with me and answered my questions. one aspect of working with Nabiel is that he s very eff...icient both with his work and clients. in my particular case i had a co-defendant and i could see the difference between the two attorneys. the other attorney dragged his feet and just ran up my co-defendants bill while Nabiel got things done.

From a Grateful Parent

As a parent, when your child gets into trouble it is the worst feeling in the world, especially if that trouble is with the law. I’m not a lawyer, I don’t have much experience with the legal system, but I wanted to make sure that my child got good advice and guidance. Nabiel was able to relate ...to my young adult, give him sound counsel and take practical steps to mitigate the damages. I can’t thank him enough for allowing me some peace of mind during a trying time. Knowing that he was there for us and had the knowledge and expertise to do everything that could be done was a huge help. From my experience, Nabiel is an attorney who really seems to care about his clients, not just about grabbing a fee for as little work as possible.

Nabiel is a very knowledgeable and aggressive attorney, who is not afraid to fight for his clients

Nabiel is a very knowledgeable and assertive attorney, who is not afraid to fight for his clients. I met Nabiel about a year ago in the DA's office, downtown Oakland. I was seeking information about a legal matter, but wasn't completely familiar with procedures, and Nabiel stepped up and assisted me ...with my request. He explained the process, told me what to expect, and the estimated turn-around time. I was very pleased that he was willing to assist me and dedicate his time to make sure I was on the right track. I inquired about his professional services and background, and found that Nabiel has a stable track record as a young aggressive attorney who's willing to fight for his clients. One of the first questions he asked me was what did I want to do and what did I expect from him. I've always had an idea of the kind of lawyer I'd want to represent me in court, and I described that person to Nabiel, and he told me he couldn't guarantee an outcome, but he assured me that he'd fight tooth and nail to the end, and that's what he did. He was my voice, and he was heard. I know that all cases and circumstances are different, but the drive, fight, dedication and determination does not change for Nabiel. He is truly a warrior for his clients.

"I endorse this lawyer's work because he is constantly taking cases to trial to balance the scales of justice. When the District Attorney refuses to give Nabiel Ahmed's client a fair and equitable deal, he sets the case for trial, and he fights hard to win. His client's know how hard he works for them, and it is a pleasure to see a lawyer who is willing to go to trial and fight for his clients. When you found Mr. Nabiel Ahmed's listing you found the right criminal lawyer for you. Donald Drewry DUI Defense Lawyer"
