Born to immigrant parents from India, Mujtaba's journey into law was not the conventional path envisioned by his family, but his unwavering passion for using the law to protect and advocate for the community led him to become a respected personal injury lawyer.
From a young age, Mujtaba perceived attorneys as social engineers, utilizing the law and the constitution to champion the rights of individuals and communities. His motivation to become an attorney stemmed from a deep-seated belief in the power of the legal system to protect and uplift the most vulnerable.
Mujtaba pursued his undergraduate studies at UNC Charlotte, majoring in history and minoring in political science.

Working as a juvenile defender, Mujtaba addressed not only the legal aspects but also the holistic needs of the young individuals, including housing and psychological treatment.
Continuing his commitment to public service, Mujtaba served as a public defender for almost eight years, representing indigent individuals in the criminal justice system.

He also serves in the North Carolina State Senate, representing the interests of Charlotteans in the State General Assembly. This multifaceted role reflects his understanding of the myriad challenges individuals face, both personally and within the legal system.
Beyond his legal career, Mujtaba finds joy and fulfillment through his roles as a devoted husband and father. At the heart of his world are his three vibrant children.
