Mirriam Zary Seddiq

Consulted Seddiq Law for explanation and guidance with a 3-year probation follow-up; the result of a very troubling criminal case against my learning-challenged adult child. Our original attorney did not keep us informed of case progress, did not appear to believe in the naiveté of my child, and set... a very frustrating pattern of postpone, and postpone again, as a strategy for everything to just go away and get lost in the system; many times neglecting to show up at scheduled court proceedings! Had previously not had so much as a speeding ticket, and find the criminal court system is a life-challenging, emotionally debilitating road to navigate. Attorneys Seddiq and Eisele were quick to pick up the pieces and develop an understandable plan to move toward getting the case removed at the conclusion of the probation period. Mirriam was very supportive throughout the entire process. Nevertheless, I remained extremely anxious, but the level of anxiety was reduced by Ms. Seddiq’s clear explanation of the process, and timely response to any questions. Documents were filed immediately upon completion of a very restrictive probation period and, what I anticipated would be a lengthy process, resulted in the best of the best possible outcome … case removed!! Would I hire Ms. Seddiq again? Without hesitation … although I hope that we will never have to travel this path again. She is a strong-willed, fight for what is right, individual and I am very appreciative of the time she spent with us navigating this life challenge.

We hire Mirriam's law firm to represent our son in a criminal case. At first they offered a variety of choices and explained them thoroughly. As time went by, their enthusiasm diminished and it seemed that they just wanted to get this over with. There were several occasions when they would say they w...anted to do something that would benefit our son, but nothing ever happened. When a major accomplishment was reached with the prosecution, I got an email saying now is the time to get everything done, finalize the needed testing and coordinate with everyone involved. When I inquired about that later, I was told they changed their minds and we don't need to do that. A plea deal was reached for a 4 - 9 year sentence each for two charges. This was my son's first offense for anything, so we we're thinking he'd get maybe a total of 12 years. In the end he was sentenced to 18 years suspended to 10 years for each count! That is quite a bit different than was the plea agreement was! We have since found out that just before the sentencing hearing, they had a talk with my son and said the terms have changed and he was looking at 9 - 18 years for each charge. They didn't fight for him, they didn't let us know anything about it and had us sit through a kangaroo court hearing where everybody, the judge, the prosecution and them were the only ones who knew about the predetermined outcome! Then they act surprised when the sentence was pronounced, but still didn't fight for a better outcome. This may not be illegal but it is certainly not moral and very deceptive! I would not recommend this law firm to anyone! Don't waste your money! We spent $13000 on doctors whose statements where never used for anything, what a waste! I am very disappointed in the outcome and the process.

Upon getting engaged to a British man, we found ourselves needing a seasoned immigration attorney. Mirriam was recommended by a friend, and I'm so thankful. She was very knowledgeable and helped navigate us through the complicated process. She never kept us wondering - we always knew the status of t...he process thanks to her excellent communication. Mirriam is VERY reliable and easy to get in touch with. She made an extremely stressful time much easier to bear. She never made us feel like any question was ridiculous. What can I say, she helped us realize our dreams ♡

Mirriam recently represented my sister in a highly publicized case. My family and I were in constant communication with her throughout the 2 years of proceedings. She was a Godsend during this ordeal. Her knowledge and expertise of the legal system was instrumental in the overall success of this c...ase. But most importantly, she was personable, sincere and caring. This legal process was very difficult and trying for my sister and my family and her counsel, advice and amiable disposition during our many encounters made the process easier for all of us.
