Conspiracy Drug Trafficking (Federal)

Ms. Qassim is a phenomenal attorney, I was facing 10+ years in federal prison, in the federal system cooperating with the government is a big thing and reduces sentences, which this is nothing that i would do. Ms. Qassim never once asked me to jeopardize my integrity to make her job easier ( Mad re...spect)!!! Once Ms Qassim knew that cooperating was not an option she prepared extremely creative motions and augured for for my freedom. I knew that it was going to be a very hard case and that jail time was emanate. Ms. Qassim spent hours with me going over discovery and showed passion and care! She was always available to speak with, returned calls immediately, very detailed, and made sure that i understood the whole process. During my sentencing she argued to get me the lowest of time on my plea agreement and she did it!!! I will say that she also never tried to just make me plea out, trial was always an option and she made sure that i knew the facts and she never comes sideways, always straight, nothing hidden. Ms Qassim is fierce, intelligent, creative, resourceful, and knows what she is doing. Thru Ms Qassim's hard work i ended up getting less than 4 years!!! I had a newborn that i would be able to actually be with him while he grows, thanks to Ms. Qassim. I know that there are fees for attorneys, I feel though deeply indebted to her because of how everything turned out. Also during my prison term Ms. Qassim checked in with me to make sure that i was being treated properly in the system and make sure i was staying in good spirits!! Ms. Qassim goes above and beyond, that is the truth!!! It would be not well researched to go any where else, Ms Qassim is the attorney you want!!!

Marijuana trafficking

I hired setara back in 2018 and was facing a minimum sentence of 10 year for trafficking marijuana along state lines in Florida . Setara was very comforting throughout the process and very knowledgeable and was able to have the case dismissed in trial . Let’s say she kicks ass in court . She constant...ly put the prosecution to shame . She stands tall and confident in court and will not back down .

Awesome person & lawyer

Ms. Qassim is Awesome! I had talked to 2 attorney before her and they gave me very little faith in their capabilities Ms. Qassim treated me like I was family, she took control of the court room and put the DA in her place, moments later my problem was solved Fast, easy and all done at a fair price...... especially considering what things could have cost me, she is worth every penny Again, Thank you Ms. Qassim for saving me from a drawn out hell and saving me thousands of dollars. I am so grateful that I found you, no one else comes close Much love from CKA!

The BEST!!!

This is truly an amazing lawyer, and person! We walked into the courtroom, expecting to spend a long time waiting. With having to appear in front of the judge. But we didn't. The reason is, she wrote such a compelling brief to the judge, that when we walked in, she was called over by the clerk. I sat... down. About two minutes later we were out of the courtroom. My case was ruled in my favor!!! She is a "cracker jack"!!! I hope that I never need her services again, but if I do, I would not call anyone else!!! All I can say is, she is brilliant and effective! This is the lawyer you want on your side.

"I worked with her for three years. Ms. Qassim's knowledge and skill in the defense of her clients surpass her years. Her writing alone has lead to convictions over turned and people released from jail. If you hire Ms. Qassim and the G&G team, you are in the best of hands."
