I normally do not write reviews, but for Mr. Ahmed, making an exception is a must.
I called him very late at night for help with my son, and within hours he had already achieved results. The very next day, he was in court representing him, and everything worked out exactly as we had hoped.
Mr. Ahmed was professional, responsive, compassionate, and incredibly efficient throughout the entire process. He kept us informed, acted quickly, and provided the support we needed during a stressful time.
If I ever need an attorney again, he will be my first call without hesitation. I highly recommend Mr. Ahmed to anyone seeking dedicated and effective legal representation.

He’s an amazing attorney. I would recommend anybody to him. He is very nice and keeps me updated all the time. He dismissed my traffic ticket citation few years ago and today he dismissed my wife traffic citation as well.

Nabiel totally botched a Civil Harassment Restraining Order case. He was totally unprepared, missed an opportunity to file a continuance and did not present compelling evidence I emailed him prior to the hearing. Here are excerpts from my Demand Letter to him:
1. You missed a Court date to file for a continuance because you did not know or forgot it was a Court Holiday.
2. You used a public Listserv to ask for another attorney to show up and seek a continuance and/or a long hearing (see Transcript, page 11, which I sent you on 10/23/24 and again on 10/28/24). This was amateurish and was called out by the other party's attorney. She shamed you in front of the judge, which seriously damaged your and my credibility at the very beginning of the hearing!
3. You failed to present the evidence I sent you the day before the hearing, February 13 and again on the morning of February 14.
4. Your performance in the actual hearing was substandard and actually hurt our case. I cite the following examples:
1. Transcript page 24: Judge Jones says to you, "Stop That. Don't apologize. Just don't do it."
2. Transcript page 66: Read the whole page. Select excerpts include Judge Jones saying to you: "Mr. Ahmed, I really don't know what the relevance is...I'm not sure what you're getting at..."
3. Transcript page 68: Judge Jones says to you, "Don't apologize. · That's enough because you are not helping yourself, Mr. Ahmed."
I will be filing a Malpractice complaint with the California State Bar and filing a Civil Lawsuit to recover fees I had to pay another attorney to clean up Nabiel's mess.

Bob, I am sorry you feel the way you do. As stated to you in court by the judge: "And so those things all go to the Court and unfortunately, Mr. Ahmed before you were counsel, [Bob] failed to provide the Court the kind of very direct information that would have been supportive of his request for another date. We don't try [to] hamper anybody, but the failure to do that and to sort of obviate and cover up and not really reveal also tells me something about what is credible. So shared driveways, shared easements, narrow streets, people get to live in very nice areas and live in those kind of experiences, and I hope that all the adults who live there will be able to figure it out. Good luck. Request for restraining order is denied." Bob, I am sorry that you were not successful in your petition for a restraining order against your neighbor. I am glad to say that your claims against me were all denied. Wishing you well.

This man changed my life. He was professional the whole time. He made me feel confident about my case when I was nervous. We won and even got an old charge expunged and dismisses in the process. God forbid I need him again but he will always be my goto and I recommend him for all cases ranging from serious to minor.

This was my second time hiring Mr. Ahmed, he was able to get my case dismissed the first time I hired him, and in this latest incident he explained to me step by step what was going to happen through every proceeding, the clarity he provided let me know what to expect next. The expertise he has let me know I was in good hands and I made a great choice in obtaining his services. I received a better than expected outcome, and am grateful to Mr. Ahmed for all the work he put in to allow me to remain out of custody and not spend one day in jail!
