Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice handles all levels of charges from misdemeanors to complex felonies. With former prosecutorial experience and 40+ years of trial litigation expertise, we develop strategic defenses tailored to each case. Our approach focuses on protecting client rights through evidence analysis, procedural challenges, and courtroom advocacy.
DUI Defense
Specialized DUI/DWI defense includes challenging breathalyzer accuracy, field sobriety test validity, and procedural violations. Our team leverages deep understanding of Maryland's MVA system and local court tendencies to minimize penalties and protect driving privileges through strategic negotiations and trial representation.
Personal Injury Claims
We represent clients in car accidents, slip-and-fall cases, and dog bite incidents. Our approach combines thorough investigation of liability, medical documentation analysis, and aggressive negotiation with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Drug Crimes Defense
Our defense strategy challenges drug charge evidence through chain-of-custody analysis, search warrant validity, and forensic testing challenges. With experience handling possession, trafficking, and manufacturing cases, we employ constitutional defenses and procedural violations to reduce or dismiss charges.
Small Business Law
We provide comprehensive legal support for business disputes, contracts, and operations. Services include litigation representation, contract drafting/negotiation, and compliance guidance. Our experience with business formation through dissolution helps protect commercial interests in disputes involving partnerships, non-competes, and contractual obligations.

Questions
When should I hire a criminal defense attorney in Baltimore?
Retain counsel immediately after arrest or when facing criminal charges. Early representation allows attorneys to preserve evidence, prepare defenses, and potentially influence bail decisions before formal court proceedings begin.
How can a DUI conviction affect my employment?
DUI convictions may impact jobs requiring driving records or professional licenses. Our attorneys work to minimize penalties through defense strategies that could reduce charges or prevent license suspension through MVA administrative processes.
What are common drug crime defenses in Maryland?
Defenses include challenging search legality, evidence chain-of-custody, and forensic testing accuracy. We also examine constitutional violations during arrests and question the prosecution's ability to prove possession or intent to distribute beyond reasonable doubt.
What differentiates your personal injury representation?
Our approach combines thorough accident investigation, medical documentation analysis, and aggressive negotiation tactics. We leverage local knowledge to address Baltimore-specific challenges like historic architecture-related slip hazards and I-83 accident patterns.
How does your small business legal practice help companies?
We provide comprehensive support from formation to dissolution, handling contracts, disputes, and compliance. Our experience with business litigation helps resolve partnership conflicts, non-compete agreements, and commercial disputes while protecting ongoing operations.
What makes your criminal defense approach unique?
Combining former prosecutorial experience with 40+ years of defense work, we understand both sides of the courtroom. This perspective informs strategic decision-making, from pre-trial negotiations to complex trial advocacy in felony and misdemeanor cases.
