After graduating Burlingame High School, Nafiz enrolled at the University of California at Davis. While at U.C. Davis, Nafiz served as a justice on the U.C. Davis Supreme Court for two years. He authored the majority opinion for all of the court's decisions during that time period. Nafiz loved being a U.C. Davis Aggie. However, he graduated early from U.C.

Mr. Ahmed: You said you're terminating the contract if I don't t apologize? I'm not apologizing to you for my grievances and your horrendous mistakes. I understand you quite otherwise. 1) you missed court 2) failed to get stipulations signed 3) you advised the plaintiff that she has enough evidence to get an order. 4) you offering money before having my approval 5) you sent an email to the plaintiffs attorney when specifically directed to not do so in that manner. At this point, our relationship is irreparable and damaging. I wouldn't recommend this office. If any person will give a chance to this office , I advise you to take the hourly rate and not pay before your expectations are met. I paid them in full and have been getting terrible service ever since. You need to be held accountable...

Dear Client: 1. The San Francisco Superior Court judge requested a telephonic appearance in your case due to Covid-19, and your court date was not missed. 2. You knew the plan before you hired me and we discussed it the day before the offer. 3. The offer worked and we have a written agreement that your case will be dismissed on 03/5/2021. 4. We are a little over one month into representation on a flat fee case, and if I had charged you hourly, your bill would have been over 3x the flat fee with work performed so far. 5. I am not the bad guy because I asked you to stop being abusive to me.
