Tough Times Call For Tough Representation

“You hired a really good lawyer”
I had a trooper today who now operates a non-video car. My last case was when he had a video and the charges were dismissed after reviewing the video. When the prosecutor told him I wanted a trial he was visibly displeased. Unlike his previous aggressive roadside...
Update to What Did I Do With My Magic Wand?
The lawyer he hired lost his magic wand as well. Just checked and saw the guy got 30 days.
NG Driving Under The Influence of Drugs
One of the basic rules of prosecution is that you need some evidence in order to convict. Unfortunately there are times when because of the client’s record, the State decides to take a shot. It is arguable whether this is correct, but having been a young prosecutor...
NG- Judge Never Heard of This Defense in His 16 Years on the Bench
And he was not happy about it at all!!!!! He gave my client a thorough lecture on his conduct, told him he might have put him in jail, but instead had to send him on his way. Very simple case. Client strikes his neighbors fence. Neighbor in the house and hears it....
Update to Prescription Pills and Teenagers
I got the client a second probation here to go along with the 2 in another county-that totals 4. All the judges agreed to modify to a PBJ if successful on probation. My client gave a nice speech to the judge about being clean, living in a sober house, working, going...

NOT GUILTY Baltimore City Circuit Court Jury Trial
It took less than a day of trial and the jury less than 10 minutes to acquit my client. I was disappointed because I told the jury they shouldn’t be out more than a few minutes before acquitting. This was a case where because of the “policy” of the State’s Attorney’s...
Retaliatory MDTA Officer and the Menu and the Perks at Central Booking
I have a case where the client was arrested by a MDTA Officer. Formerly the “Tunnel Police.” On the way to the station he was told, you will take the breath test, I will do your paperwork, and your wife can come and pick you up. When the client decided not to take the...
Howard County DUI Not Guilty
A very interesting and intellectually enjoyable trial in Howard County District Court. A smart judge and a smart prosecutor. Everything was litigated- the SFSTs and the admissibility of the breath test.It was a one witness case that took an hour and a half to try. An...
