Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Sentence modification

My boyfriend was found guilty of CDS possession for cociane and marijuana. He got 4 yrs w/a/b 18 months suspended and 1 yr s/s for the marijuana. This was his 1st grug offense w/ no real priors. His lawyer isn't trying to help. He filled for an appeal but that it. What can we do to get a sentence modification? There are people ther who got less time for drugs and it was their 3rd 4th time.

He has thirty days from the date of the sentence to note an appeal or file a motion requesting a review of the sentence imposed. He also can file for a modification of his sentence if done so within 90 days.
