Mirriam Seddiq was hired as co-counsel in a serious rape case in Montgomery County. After weeks of preparation, the client was found not guilty at trial.
The client was serving a 40-year sentence for a case he went to trial on with another attorney. Counsel stepped in as counsel to represent the client on a compassionate release motion. Initially, the motion was denied. This firm appealed and won, which sent the case back to the judge. After fighting for over two years, the client’s sentence was reduced from forty years to time served. He is now home with his family.
The client initially had prior counsel. The best offer was to plead guilty to the offense. The guilty plea, even if no jail time, would likely have resulted in the client losing a six-figure job. After significant discussions with the State and after threatening a jury trial, the case was resolved without a guilty plea and dismissed.
The client was charged with 2nd degree murder and gun charges. After having been represented by previous counsel, this firm filed several motions, which resulted in the second-degree murder charge being dismissed. In the middle of the trial, the parties resolved the case via plea to a significantly reduced charge of manslaughter.
Case dismissed after aggressive pursuit of evidence. After several motions, the State was forced to dismiss the charges as it could not produce evidence as required by statute and the Constitution.
The client initially took a plea with another attorney. The client was a green card holder and was sentenced to six years in prison, exceeding the guidelines. The firm filed a motion to set aside the sentence because the judge had been in secret discussions with the local prosecutor to work at their office during the time in which the client was originally sentenced. Our motion was granted, and the client’s jail term was reduced from six years to 364 days. Because of this reduction, he was able to secure immigration relief through immigration counsel.
The client was charged with possession of unlawful images of children. After significant discussion, the case was resolved without any admission of guilt or criminal record.
The client was facing jail time. After extensive preparation with the client and a discussion of the case with his wife, the client was found not guilty and cleared of all charges.
The client faced a mandatory five-year prison term. After a refusal to negotiate, we took the matter to trial, and the client was found not guilty of all charges.
The Maryland Sex Offender Registry deemed the client to have to register for his entire life. After threatening a lawsuit against the registry for an unlawful determination and sending a detailed legal memorandum, the agency agreed that he was only required to register for fifteen years and would be eligible for removal in ten years under state law.
The client was facing several accusations of violating a peace order. After discussions with the other party, both the peace order and the criminal charges were dismissed entirely.
The client was on the Maryland sex offender registry when he hired the firm. After extended discussion with counsel for the registry and a detailed legal memorandum, we successfully convinced the state to remove our client from the registry.
