About Muhammad
Muhammad Elsayed earned his undergraduate degree in Administration of Justice from George Mason University in 2010 and completed his J.D. at George Mason University School of Law in 2013. He moved through law school into practice quickly and carried his academic grounding into the courts and client rooms of the Washington, D.C. area.
He began his legal career as an associate at Wiley Rein, LLP in 2013. The firm exposed him to complex litigation and regulatory work early on. After a year he joined Greenspun Shapiro PC as an associate in 2014. Those formative years gave him experience handling pleadings, motion practice, and courtroom appearances in both federal and state settings.
In 2020 he opened Elsayed Law PLLC and serves as its principal lawyer. He manages the firm’s operations and oversees client matters. The transition to heading his own practice shifted his responsibilities from purely casework to include client intake, strategy decisions, and courtroom preparation. He maintains ties to the local legal community while running a small practice geared toward individual clients and civil litigation matters.
Elsayed’s bar presence covers both the District of Columbia and Virginia, and he has remained active in bar activities since the early years of his practice. He has been a member of the Fairfax Bar Association and its Criminal Law Section since 2014. He also joined the Fairfax Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section in 2014 and later accepted a seat on the Continuing Legal Education Committee in 2019. Those roles keep him engaged with developments in criminal procedure, evidentiary rules, and trial practice in the region.
In court he represents clients in matters that arise in D.C. and Virginia courts. He handles criminal defense work and related litigation, guiding clients through arraignments, pretrial motions, and trials when cases proceed that far. His approach blends courtroom preparation with attention to procedural detail. He draws on the years he spent at larger firms to prepare filings and on his solo practice experience to manage client relationships.
Outside the courtroom he participates in local bar panels and continuing legal education programs. He remains based in the Washington metropolitan area and focuses his practice on litigation and defense matters in the District of Columbia and Virginia.
