Ahmad M. El-Bahesh is an Alabama native, raised in
Guntersville. He earned his undergraduate degree from
Auburn University and his Juris Doctor from Lincoln

Ahmad began his legal career in Chicago, Illinois, where he
gained experience at immigration law firms before opening
his own successful practice. He later returned to Alabama to bring that experience to what is now Shabani–Crumbley, P.C. He has represented clients in immigration courts across the United States and has extensive experience in family-based immigration and removal defense.
