About

I received my law degree from Thomas Cooley Law School where I finished in the top 5% of my class.  After graduating, I began my career at the State Attorney’s Office.  During my time as an Assistant State Attorney, I tried over 100 cases, handled hundreds of motion hearings, and prosecuted over 3,000 cases.  In 2008, I left the State Attorney’s Office and founded my law firm specializing in criminal defense, DUI defense, traffic citations, and auto accidents.  In 2012, I partnered with Andrew Shafii who is also a former Assistant State Attorney.  I now head the personal injury and DUI defense divisions in the firm.In my career, I have helped my clients recover millions of dollars from insurance companies for their injuries.  My experience as a trial attorney has allowed me to aggressively represent my clients against the insurance industry. I also defend clients charged with DUIs.  Many times individuals are wrongly arrested and I have helped thousands of clients beat their DUI charge. In addition to my law practice, I am adjunct professor at Thomas M. Cooley Law School and lectures throughout the community.

I was in need of assistance for a traffic violation that I was fighting, and I contacted their office and hired them to help and represent me. Mr. Ameen handled my case, and it went to a trial hearing. This is the first time I had ever been in need of an attorney, and to say I was a bundle of anxiety would be an understatement. I was literally shaking when sitting in the courtroom waiting for my case to begin. This was also the first time I would meet Mr. Ameen, so I was nervous about that as well. He was a godsend. Calm, professional, collected, knowledgeable, everything I pretty much needed to get me through this. He explained what was going on as it was happening, which helped keep me calm during the process. He also read the judge spot on, pretty much predicted what was going to happen. His advice for how to handle the case, and his argument on my behalf, greatly benefited me, and even made the judge remark how the outcome would've gone much differently for me if he hadn't been there. Circumstances made it so the judgement wasn't what I had wanted, but having Mr. Ameen there with me lead to a much better outcome than there would have been otherwise. If you want an attorney standing by your side, I would highly recommend Mr. Ameen be that person. I don't think I could've had a better attorney there.

My friend called me and asked for help to get back home because his car broke at the highway. I picked him up and this part of travel went well. However, driving back to my place, I got a ticket. I was kind of hopeless, but started looking for an attorney who would help me, that's how I found Mr. Ameen who had an excellent reviews. So, I contacted to Mr. Ameen and asked for help. Fortunately, he took my case and won! I would recommend him anyone! Mr. Ameen is highly professional and cares about people. Thank you so very much!

Worked on my traffic tickets and got them dismissed off situations I didn't even know could have tickets dismissed. He's fair, honest and knowledgeable.

I received multiple tickets on a traffic stop which would have caused my license to be suspended. With Mr. Ameen on the case, I have gotten my tickets dismissed. This was such a huge relief, as I need to drive for work every day. I am so grateful to you guys! Thank you!!!!

Mustafa was very knowledgable and put a lot of my worry to rest immediately. I could trust that he would be on time and get back with me when I had concerns. He went to the dmv hearing and did most everything without me having to do multiple stressfull apearences, although I had option to attend. He was of high moral charecter and was able to give me a result better than I had expected. I would highly reccomend him for anyone in my previous position (dui arrest) I was able to pay in increments which helped me out a lot and he was understanding. I really couldnt have asked for a better attorney and am greatful someone referred me to him.

First, I received a package the very next day after bonding out showing the urgency and personalized plan of action needed right away in my particular DUI charge. The extra money and time it took for him out of pocket to get me this information helped me right off the bat. (later I started receiving generic mailers from a lot of other attorneys that just did not compare and missed a critical deadline we had to hit early on, which Mustafa took care of for me.) I met with Mustafa immediately and after reviewing more details of my case he laid out a more precise plan and he aggressively ensured the final outcome was identical to what we discussed on that first meeting...and this was after I was ready to throw in the towel. Mustafa showed me that, while he could have been done with my case early and any more hours put in was coming out of our original fixed fee, he advised we push a little more and I am so grateful that he did. Not only did he do what he proposed we would accomplish, he showed me he actually cared about my case and made sure we achieved our goals. I could not have had a better lawyer.

When this auto mishap happened I wasn't prepared what to do next, thankfully my friend referred Ameen & Shafii office to get the best counsel. I have contacted their office immediately and eventually I was fortunate to have Mr.Ameen represent me in this matter and he kept me well informed with the process and explained clearly stage by stage. Thank you Mr.Ameen for all you great service, you are very intelligent, caring and know your stuff, 100% confident your support will help many like me who are in real need, wish you good luck for your best service!

I felt he was a great attorney. He handled all my tickets and got me the best deal with the driving record I have. Every time he handled a ticket of mine I had no issues worrying about it. I was emailed or called to keep me inform. I would recommend him to others
