Our Professionals

Ahmed Islam

I was raised in Morgantown, West Virginia and graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2011. I received a Masters in Public Health from West Chester University, Pennsylvania in 2013 and went on to attend law school at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois. After graduating in 2017, I began my law career in civil litigation before transitioning to criminal prosecution in Chicago, Illinois. After a few years of trial experience prosecuting crimes from misdemeanors to violent felonies, I decided to move to warmer weather and left Chicago for Phoenix, Arizona.

 

Having grown up on the country roads and mountains of West Virginia, I finally get to enjoy the outdoors again in Arizona with my wife, Jessica and our daughter, Lily. We love exploring the different parts of Arizona and going on hikes. We feel truly blessed to be part of our community.
