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.

Excellent Service! He Definitely knows What He Is Doing .

Nabiel Ahmed Turned 2 Felonies Charges Into A Misdemeanor In Just One Court. We Were In And Out Of Court In Less Than An Hour.He Is Very Efficient And Goes Right To The Point. What I Liked The Most Was The Price ...Very Reasonable And Affordable , There Where No Hidden Charges Or Fees ...Definitel...y Recommend him. If You Don't Have Time To Waste I Recommend Mr. Ahmed To Get The Job Done Fast And Right The First Time.

Multiple DUI's

I contacted Mr. Ahmed after I had gotten yet another DUI while driving home late. I had both been represented by other attorneys in the previous DUI's, but also had contacted an attorney for the one that Mr. Ahmed ended up taking care of for me. The attorney was very pessimistic and over-exaggerating... and I wasn't very hopeful on the outcome of what would happen to me. Although I knew I was more than likely going to have to do some time, What I asked of Mr. Ahmed initially over the phone, he made sure to carry out for me all the way to the end. He was always very honest with me and remained opptimistic. His attitude and knowledge helped my peace of mind, and I could feel comfortable, despite everything, that he was handling the case for me. I am very pleased with the outcome and would reccomend.

Satisfied client

I found Nabiel online when i was searching for a lawyer to help me fight my case. I was picked up on traffic warrents and in the mist of getting arrested the police found drugs in my purse. Mr. Ahmed took my case and i found him to be an extremly competent attorney. He was able to satisfactorly resol...ve my case in a timely fashion. He was able to reduce my charges from intent to sell and possesion to intoxication. And was also able to get my traffic case dismissed. I was very pleased with my out come of my case and would utilize and recommend him in the future.

Dismissed!!!

I have used Nabiel in the past year to represent me through both the eviction process and for traffic violations. Last week, he helped me get two traffic violations dismissed in court and I was extremely happy because I cannot afford to have any more points on my record. 6 months ago, I got two speed...ing tickets in one week, which would have put me at 3 points, driving my insurance premiums sky high. Thanks to Nabiel's diligent extensions and court appearances, both cases were dismissed due to lack of evidence. I highly suggest anyone who gets traffic violations to call Nabiel to help save your driving record. Saving the added expense of paying a high premium on your insurance for the next few years makes it worth trying. Less than a year ago, I also had an issue with an insolvent tennant who needed to get evicted from my Sacramento property. Nabiel saved me a lot of stress and headache by taking care of the process for me. Not only did he successfully free up my property so i can rent it out to someone else, Nabiel also took the extra step to get a judgement against the tennant for the overdue rent, cleaning expenses and lawyer's fees. I am a very busy person and having someone like Nabiel on your side is a great asset. I would recomend him to anyone and surely utilize his services for all my legal needs.

"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"
