Individuals convicted of a crime in Maryland, whether through their own admission of guilt or through the determination of a jury, are subject to, among other penalties, fines, imprisonment, probation and community service. Defending your criminal case in the strongest possible way is critical to your freedom and your future.

The outcome of any criminal case depends upon the facts surrounding the crime charged, the strength of the evidence, the legal validity of law enforcement and courtroom procedure, and the goals and strategy of the government and defense. As a skilled Maryland Criminal Attorney, I will navigate you through this complicated legal process.

Call me immediately if you have been arrested or are under investigation for any criminal matter, including the following offenses:  

Having spent my entire legal career practicing criminal law in the Superior Court for the District of Columbia, I am adept at defending misdemeanors such as drug possession and simple assault, as well as major felonies, ranging from armed robbery to murder. You will benefit from my thorough investigation of every aspect of your case, as well as my ability to leverage my relationships throughout the DC criminal justice system. I also use the best criminal defense investigators to uncover and document evidence.

Trust Your Lawyer– He Will Be the One Representing You, Not the Police:
If you have been arrested, or if you are stopped by the police for questioning, remember that your lawyer is the person you should trust. Law enforcement investigators are specifically trained to get people who don't want to talk to them to open up and talk with them anyway. The U.S. Supreme Court allows police, federal agents and criminal investigators to trick, lie and deceive during the course of their investigations to get the information they want.

If you are being investigated for a federal crime or other serious charge, do not answer any questions the officers, detectives or federal agents ask. You should politely, but firmly, tell them that you will need to retain an experienced Criminal Attorney before you can speak with them. Do not answer their questions. This cannot be stressed enough. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney – use those rights!
