Tough Times Call For Tough Representation
No sooner had I posted the previous post when I get a call from a 24 year old who was just charged with a 3rd DUI. The caller is on probation for the 2nd. I asked about the treatment for the second DUI and the caller did a weekend at a program. The caller then...
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...
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...
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....
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...

That is what this fairly new Frederick State Trooper had to say about how he came about to record the driving and stop of my client. The problem is, the video did not record what he wrote in his report and testified to on the witness stand. Somehow the video recorder...
A prosecutor said to me a few weeks ago, “Can you imagine how they treated people when they weren’t being taped.” The prosecutor was referring to some (not all) of the Maryland State Police who apparently believe the interstate is not under the jurisdiction of the...
It only took this Maryland State Trooper about one month from his hire to write his police report and then less than a year to testify inconsistently with HIS video. He became a trooper in August 2011 and arrested my client in September 2012. His report was printed...
I was contacted almost a year ago by a lawyer whose client got hammered at her Administrative Hearing. It was a second offense, and she was accused of refusing the breath test for the second time. She wanted a blood test, but it was not required in her situation....
