About - Meet Maheen Haq

As a grassroots organizer for over a decade, Maheen understands community centered and movement lawyering. She has a wealth of trauma informed training that she brings to her practice.

Maheen started organizing protests and doing civil rights work at the age of thirteen in Hagerstown, Maryland. She taught poetry to young students at the Robert Johnson Community Center and coached soccer for refugees in Baltimore City. Her passion for civil rights led her to Georgetown University Law Center.

At Georgetown, she continued to work on policing issues at the Innovative Policing Center where she researched police violence in Hagerstown, Maryland. At the Georgetown Civil Rights Clinic, Maheen led an investigation of the Hagerstown Police Department.

During her time in law school she worked on police violence issues, tenants' rights, and incarceree rights while working at the Special Litigation Section of the Department of Justice, the Washington Lawyers' Committee and Loevy & Loevy.

Prior to launching her own firm, Maheen worked at a national non-profit defending the civil rights of the Muslim community. She also worked at a prominent regional law firm, where she helped clients navigate employment disputes, sought justice in cases of wrongful police killings and police brutality, and guided businesses through complex disputes, along with other civil litigation matters.
