In this episode, we break down a landmark case victory in which attorney Nabiel Ahmed secured a dismissal for his 19-year-old client, who was facing multiple charges across several Bay Area counties.

In an extraordinary display of legal mastery, criminal defense attorney Nabiel C. Ahmed secured a complete case dismissal for his 19-year-old client, who faced significant felony charges in Placer County, California. The client, alleged by law enforcement to be a leader in a Bay Area “dirt bike gang,” had been under intense scrutiny across multiple counties due to a string of vehicle thefts, burglaries, and firearm-related charges dating back to 2022.
Despite a record involving five separate criminal cases in the Bay Area—including charges for evading police, gun possession, and vehicle theft—Ahmed not only kept his client out of prison, but also successfully navigated a dangerous legal landscape that spanned San Mateo, San Francisco, and Placer counties.
Attorney Ahmed masterfully handled five back-to-back cases in the Bay Area, managing to keep his client on probation and ankle monitoring—a remarkable feat considering the volume and severity of charges. When the client ultimately violated probation and was remanded to local county jail, Ahmed ensured he served time locally rather than being sent to state prison, preserving future legal options and proximity to family.
The toughest challenge awaited in Placer County, where the client faced charges related to a $100,000+ smash-and-grab operation involving stolen dirt bikes and extensive property damage. The case, heavily pursued by local law enforcement, involved five co-defendants and drew regional media attention. Placer County prosecutors had shown no leniency, and the expectation was clear: state prison awaited.
Yet, Nabiel Ahmed stepped in.
While other defense attorneys waived time and accepted delays, Ahmed counseled his client to file a 1381 demand—a little-known procedural motion requiring the county to bring a defendant to trial within 90 days or face dismissal. Despite the DA having declared “ready” for the preliminary hearing, Ahmed held firm. When the prosecution later sought a continuance, he refused to waive his client’s rights, forcing the court to take action.
The result? Charges dismissed.
Ahmed’s refusal to cave under pressure, his deep understanding of procedural leverage, and his willingness to be the last man standing in court led to a result few thought possible. His client, once presumed destined for state prison, is now headed back to San Mateo County to finish a significantly lesser sentence—closer to home, family, and a second chance at life.
This case is a testament to the exceptional skill, tactical brilliance, and fierce dedication of Nabiel C. Ahmed, a criminal defense attorney who delivers when it matters most. Against long odds, across jurisdictions, and when every other defense lawyer bowed out, Ahmed stood tall and won.
“When the odds are stacked against you, count on one man: Nabiel Ahmed.”
Today, I secured a major win for my 19-year-old client accused of being part of a Bay Area dirt bike crew under intense law enforcement scrutiny. Facing serious charges in Placer County—including $100K+ in alleged theft and damage—he was expected to be sent to state prison.
But not on my watch.
While every other co-defendant’s attorney backed down, I fought to the end using smart strategy, deep legal knowledge, and an ironclad 1381 motion. The result? Case dismissed. Client released.
When everyone says it’s impossible, I say: watch me work.
If you're in trouble anywhere in California, and the system’s coming for you hard—
Call Nabiel C. Ahmed. I fight. I win.
