Tough Times Call For Tough Representation
Well I got a bit of a twofer yesterday. I was back in District Court because the docket was too crowded the last time, and this time the Clerk left time for a trial. The Court Clerks in Harford County are as good as it gets. The State offered the usual plead to...
That was the first sentence from a retired judge who I sat down to lunch with yesterday. I bumped into him and he had a big smile on his face. He too had felt duped and personally experienced the arrogance of the now deposed State's Attorney for Baltimore City. NOW...
15 minute not guilty verdict of felony and gun and PBJ for possession of marihuana, after a day and half in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. Juror number 5 walks out after the verdict and gives my client a thumbs up!. First alternate gives my client her...

When I got out of court today, I had this email. I have redacted the name and employer, but if you do these cases correctly, this should happen: Hello Gary, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me. You helped me turn a troubling time around,...
I had a no breath test case today where the State offered the driving while impaired and would defer on sentencing. My client had finished treatment months ago and had no record, so I told the prosecutor I am playing with house money and we would try the case. The...
I have been contacted by two separate supervisors in Baltimore City to give a DUI and Serious Traffic Seminar to their new District Court lawyers. DUI is more complicated than many other types of criminal cases. The science and the technical aspects are different...
