Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in

But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky

- Jay-Z

As your attorney, you may be assured that you have retained a straight shooter who enjoys a high level of credibility among the Maryland judges and other attorneys. I will be brutally honest with you about whether you can beat the charges or whether a favorable plea negotiation is your best option. If there is anything you can do to maximize your advantages once we go to court, you will be advised which measures to pursue, long before our first court hearing. You will know the consequences you will face for any guilty plea, which may include jail time, probation, sex offender registration or a criminal history that will make it harder for you to find work. As your defense lawyer, it is my goal to resolve case as quickly as possible while not compromising your privacy and freedom.

Known as a criminal defense lawyer who actually tries cases, I offer criminal defense representation for clients who have been accused of serious crimes, felonies, misdemeanors, juvenile offenses and traffic citations. I have represented many individuals who face the possibility of a prison sentence and/or hefty fines if they are convicted. My goal is to minimize any consequences you face for your arrest and put you back in control of your life.

Your reputation in society is of great value, thus great importance is placed in preserving your good record. I will work with you to ensure that your rights are protected and to bring every legal advantage as an experienced criminal law attorney to your defense.

We, as criminal defense lawyers, are forced to deal with some of the lowest people on earth, people who have no sense of right and wrong, people who will lie in court to get what they want, people who do not care who gets hurt in the process. It is our job–our sworn duty–as criminal defense lawyers, to protect our clients from those people.

I use creative and innovative ways to mitigate any potential sentencing, emphasizing rehabilitation and work towards alternatives to incarceration.
