Hassan is the founder and principal of the HMA Law Firm.  Licensed to practice in all state courts in Maryland, fluent or proficient in seven languages, and known and respected among his peers for his knowledge of the law, research and writing ability, trial skills, and having earned a reputation among his peers as the “go-to” attorney in matters of immigration law, Hassan is an aggressive, dynamic and knowledgeable lawyer who passionately believes in fighting for his clients.

Hassan also maintains an of counsel relationship with the Law Offices of Kemet & Hunt, PLLC a College Park, Maryland based general practice, where he heads that firm's immigration practice. He is fluent in Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, and is able to speak, read, and write all these languages in their native scripts. He is also proficient in Spanish, Arabic, French, and Mandarin Chinese. This gives him the ability to relate to his clients in a unique way.  A firm believer in unity in diversity, he has advised nationals of 90 countries around the world, and counting.

His experience is not limited to immigration, as he has enjoyed success as a criminal defense attorney and civil litigator. A savvy trial lawyer, Hassan understands that a trial, be it criminal, civil, or immigration, requires not only solid preparation, but solid footing balanced against an ability to adapt. Legal strategy, the underlying law, procedure and the thrust of the case must be well  researched  (and committed to memory) from the beginning, or no amount of shoot-from-the-hip trial tricks will rescue the case.  However, Hassan believes that it can be equally damaging not to be sensitive to the way a case actually progresses  in real time and adapt accordingly.  Being married to the trial foundation and not adapting will surely cripple a case as easily as one that was poorly researched to begin with.

Hassan holds a law degree from Tulane Law School in New Orleans, Louisiana. While in law school, he clerked for a high-profile New Orleans firm where he learned and was trained in a considerable variety of legal fields, ranging from personal injury to commercial litigation to medical malpractice. And Hassan also worked on one of the major class-action tobacco litigations and the first ever state-filed gun litigation.

Prior to his career as a lawyer, Hassan was a successful and motivational teacher. He taught Urdu and Hindi at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC and also taught high school classes in religion and law. He maintained a career as a real estate sales agent in North Carolina, hanging his license with Century 21 Vicki Berry Realty in Raleigh.

Hassan was born and raised in North Carolina and now resides in Virginia with his wife and children.
