"Please DO NOT wait to have your final wishes and arrangements organized as soon as possible. You never want your loved ones dealing with all the complex details of your final arrangements. Its difficult to concentrate and make important decisions under such stress and pressure.
Ahmed was caring, sensitive, and always available to answer questions. Don't wait another day. Have Ahmed help you organize your final wishes and spare your loved ones the difficult task of sorting it all out."
"I was referred to Mr. Shaikh by a financial planner who is, also, a longtime friend. At first I was hesitant, because of the distance between his offices and my residence, but after my initial phone consultation with him, I was assured that there was no one else for me.
Mr. Shaikh and his legal assistant, have been nothing short of compassionate, incredibly competent and willing to go the distance with me in ways that I never anticipated. He does not grand stand, but sticks to the bones of the law in a simple, direct and effective way."
Mr. Shaikh was able to quickly and effectively move a fairly nasty dispute over inheritance through the court with minimal impact on me. I was so pleased to turn the emotionally upsetting matter over to him, and receive my settlement at the end!
He kept me updated, followed my wishes, and advised me on the most prudent steps to take- all the while sparing me the headache and drama of the ordeal, so that I could remain focused on my life and family.
