Hire her immediately

Ms. Siddiqui was one of the most professional and knowledgeable attorneys I have ever been around. She treated me like I was family from the initial conversation and was honest and up front about every detail from the onset. At no point was she not available to meet with, speak with, or to provide ...any information requested throughout my entire 5 week ordeal. She was able to get 4 very serious cases, two felony and two misdemeanor, either dismissed, not pursued, or ruled not guilty by the judge. Do not hesitate or look elsewhere when attempting to find an attorney to represent you as she will be the best you can find bar none.

Reckless Driving Case Loudoun County

Farheena was able to knock down my rather high reckless driving speeding case into a regular speeding charge. She was poised and confident throughout my experiences with her over the phone and in the court house. I would certainly recommend her for anyone seeking help involving these matters in Loudo...un County or elsewhere in the surrounding area.

2nd degree Murder/ Malicious wounding charge

All I have to say is they did an excellent job getting my sons charges reduced. Very professional and knowledgeable about the law. I give them a 10 rating would definitely refer them to my family and friends. Btw my son came out with 3 years but was originally facing 20 years need I say more.

Malicious Wounding, Attempted Robbery - Not Guilty

I was charged with 2 felonies, malicious wounding and attempted robbery. All because I made the wrong person mad at me. If convicted, I was facing up to 30 years in prison. Because the police never contact me to hear my side of the story, I woke up one morning to 2 felony warrants. The prosecutor o...ffered a horrible plea deal, which would have resulted in me going to prison and pleading guilty to 2 charges. If it wasn't for Farheena's confidence and professionalism, I would have taken the deal. We went to trial, and everything was working against us. The Judge denied every single one of our motions and agreed with each of the prosecution's objections. The prosecutor, during his opening, made statements that NONE of the 4 witnesses (including my accuser) ever substantiated. The prosecutor also informed our witness that he was an 'unindicted coconspirator', despite the fact (based on statements made by my accuser) that he was not involved at all. Despite everything the prosecutor pulled, Farheena remained professional. She had a game plan, stuck to it, and kept me informed along the way. During the opening, the prosecutor made statements that we had never heard before, statements that had never been made by my accuser or his witness. Farheena calmly and clearly rebutted each of the prosecution's accusations, and outlined to the jury what they were going to see during the trial. As mentioned, throughout the trial, the prosecutor objected to and the judge ruled against virtually all of our motions. Farheena knew the Judge's track record and was not surprised or rattled when our motions were denied. She always had a plan. She was also well aware of the prosecutor's demeanor going into trial and could anticipate what he would and would not do. She had an incredible cross of both my accuser and his witness. She rattled the prosecution's witness during cross to the point the judge needed to excuse the jury, and threatened to put the witness in handcuffs if she didn't behave. For the jury to see this witness absolutely implode under Farheena's questioning, I believe was a key turning point in the trial. During closing, the prosecutor returned to his 'practices', making statements that had not been substantiated and tying together evidence in a light that favored my accuser. He urged the jury to find me guilty, and made a compelling argument for them to do so. Farheena's closing was clear and concise. She remembered minute details from the day before, reiterating both mine and my accuser's statements to ensure the jury understood how each piece of physical evidence, external factors, and testimony in the case fit together. She connected the dots from her opening, through the trial, and tied everything together. She painted a clear picture of what really happened that night. I firmly believe that it was her closing that lead to the jury's ultimate decision of not guilty on both charges. I would recommend Farheena to everyone. She is the reason I have my life back. I wholeheartedly believe, if it wasn't for her, I would be rotting in a cell and my life would be over. Because this trial was held with Covid protocols in place, anyone who wanted to watch the trial needed to do so from a separate room. My accuser, his friends, and 4-5 interns from the prosecutor's office were in that room at all times. My gf and friends told me after trial that during openings+testimony my accuser and the interns were laughing, joking, and were confident the prosecution would win. After Farheena's closing arguments, everyone in the room was silent.
