Testimonials

Hear from our clients just like you

CREDIT CARD FRAUD

Nafis Ahmed is a very intellectual Criminal Defense Lawyer, he has been very helpful since day one until the end. I want to thank Mr. Ahmed for the excellent work he did on my case. He has made me feel like a normal citizen once again. He is excellent in what he does, I would not choose any other lawyer over Mr. Ahmed. HE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! Thanks again, Mr. Ahmed.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY AND FIRM

My family & I highly recommend Nafiz Ahmed as a defense Attorney. The Ahmed and Sukaram law firm from my personal experience is an incredible safeguard against the injustice of being tangled in the legal system. He was very aggressive and thorough in preparing my case into succession throughout a very unsure and devastating situation. They were very reassuring and positive from beginning to end. I would use this Attorney and Law Firm any day. My family and myself are very thankful to have found them.

UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF FIREARMS

I had never been in any legal trouble in my life so I was very scared when I found out I was facing criminal charges. Nafiz was very comforting and I always felt like I had a champion in my corner. I was facing jail time and in seven hours, Nafiz was able to convince the DA and Judge to dismiss the case completely. I never even saw the inside of a courtroom. I would rather have Nafiz try a case for me than Robert Shapiro and that is no joke. He is tenacious, responsive, and he genuinely cares about his client’s cases. I hope I never need to use Nafiz again but if I ever need a lawyer, it will be a no-brainer.

JUVENILE DEFENSE

Once again our family needed the assistance of Shari Sukaram.
She immediately returned my phone call and emails and answered all my questions and really took care of our needs. I truly believe she goes above and beyond for her clients and I feel that we are in very good hands! She has really been there for us through some difficult times and I recommend Shari to anyone who needs an attorney.

FELONY BURGLARY

We had a great experience with Nafiz Ahmed. He handled my felony and misdemeanor juvenile theft case with great professionalism and enthusiasm. He is very straightforward as he gave us the best and worst case scenario possible and helped us prepare for both, and in the end the charges were completely dismissed! He responded to emails and phone calls promptly and provided us with a wealth of information to ease any worries we had for our case. We are so thankful to have worked with Nafiz and highly recommend him to anyone who needs any type of legal counsel.

RECKLESS DRIVING

I was completely satisfied with the services I received from Nafiz Ahmed. His knowledge and professional attitude made for a perfect experience. Nafiz kept me informed throughout the entire process and was able to get me the best outcome possible. I would definitely recommend Nafiz to my colleagues and I will contract his services again if needed in the future.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DISMISSAL

Nafiz offered great service since day one. He is definitely a very professional, understanding, hardworking and knowledgeable lawyer. He always keep me informed in every step of the way and never failed to return my call if I have something that needs to be clarified. The whole case was so depressing but Nafiz didn’t give up and he also encouraged me to do the same and it resulted into a very well resolved case in my favor. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Thank you Nafiz!
