M. Sameer Ahmed - Managing Attorney
I was born in St, Louis, Missouri in 1970. In 1977, my parents, both of whom are physicians, moved to Fort Worth, Texas where I graduated high school in 1987. In 1991 I received a B. S. in Biology from Southern Methodist University and considered applying to medical school, as was a family tradition. However, after living in New York and working in the legal department of Ernst & Young, LLP I decided to attend law school and earned my J.D. from South Texas College of Law in 1997. After graduating, I moved to the small border town of McAllen, Texas and grew my practice by representing many physicians in their transactional matters.
I moved back to the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in 2018 and established The Ahmed Firm, PLLC and now represent numerous local businesses including hospitals, physician practices, transportation carriers and brokers, engineering groups, construction companies, and real estate developers in various transactional and litigation matters.
I am admitted to the state bar of Texas and the U.S. District Courts for the Northern, Eastern, and Southern Districts of Texas.
