Practice Areas
Homicides and Violent Felonies
In Maryland, felonies carry a variety of potential penalties depending on the severity of the crime, the amount of alleged injury, the potential weapon used, and the record of the individual charged. Most felonies in Maryland can carry significant terms of incarceration and terms of probation.
- Murder
- Manslaughter
- Assault and Battery
Non-Violent Felonies and Property Crimes
Knowing the distinction between non-violent felonies and other offenses is important to understanding the possible outcomes of a crime. In your defense, we will weigh the possible outcomes and help you decide what your preferred outcome is.
- Robbery
- Burglary
- Theft
Controlled Dangerous Substance Charges
Facing a drug related offense can be overwhelming and stressful. Whether you or a loved one is facing charges, we will work with you to answer your questions and get you the best legal outcome possible.
- Drug Offenses
Sexual and Domestic Violence Crimes
Major offenses and violent crimes are serious in nature and involve force or a threat of force. Our firm specializes in defending clients accused of these crimes, including the most severe allegations, such as murder and shootings.
- Sex Offenses
- Child Abuse
Misdemeanors and Protective Orders
Protective orders are court orders to separate people from one another. These are used in situations involving alleged domestic violence, child abuse, assault, harassment, stalking, or sexual assault. Violating a protective order can lead to a criminal charge.
- Possession of a Firearm
- Protective/Peace Orders
Traffic Cases (Including DUI/DWI)
Traffic cases in Maryland typically are either payable citations (like a speeding ticket) or require a court appearance if they carry the possibility of jail time. If you are pulled over by an officer and given a citation, you want to contact an attorney PRIOR to paying any citations or requesting a court date.
- DUI/DWI
