That is the title of the AVVO review from my client. The arrest was an absolute disgrace. The client was stopped for an inoperable headlight. When I got the video, I was so angry I was going to take it to the State's Attorney's Office to show them how absurd the...

DUI Dismissal
Well for at least the 3rd time I have had a DUI case dismissed with the same officer. The video did not corroborate his written report. The prosecutor suggested last week that he put the case on and let me crush the guy so he would learn not to do it this way. I...
Baltimore County Not Guilty
Had a trial in Essex yesterday that resulted in an aquittal. The back story is funny. I am sitting on my patio one Friday night enjoying the autumn air when I hear a BOOM and the power in my house goes out. I say "some drunk just hit the BGE pole." Two hours later...
Harford County DUI Not Guilty
My client in this case just posted a wonderful review on AVVO. This client was innocent and had a horrible set of circumstantial evidence that could have caused a conviction. The police treated her horribly based on what they believed the circumstances to be. They...
State Police Played Games and Lost
New client came in on Thanksgiving day after having been charged the night before with a DUI. She was the designated driver and was out with her sister who was the drinker. She gets stopped for an illegal U-Turn and is taken to the State Police Barracks that has a...
Where is the Anne Arundel County Car Video
Hide the ball trick does not work. Three years ago I wrote a Blog about a police officer who I caught lying in his FIRST CASE! I have kept the video from that case on my IPad and the original tape and written report in a binder waiting to see if I would get a...
Don’t Be Lazy! Watch the Body
You may be surprised to learn that when you are drinking you don't remember much of what went on in your interaction with the police. You knew it at the time, but recollecting it in my office is a different story. That is why the Body Cam is invaluable. Now if you...
Baltimore County Body Cam Not Guilty
I just returned from court after a Not Guilty verdict in a DUI. There were 14 Body Cams but only one that was diapositive. That Body Cam showed my client at his car and the subsequent field sobriety testing. The officer's report was 100% accurate, but there is a...
Harford County- 3rd Recent DUI Dismissal and $185.00 Court Costs Instead of 9 Months
In the past few months I have had 3 DUI cases dropped by the State. All were flawed as a result of the poor policing in the cases. The most recent had a video showing the officer did not do what was in the police report. Prior to his having a video camera, I had...
OUT- OF STATE DRIVER’S LICENSE MUST READ TO DRIVE IN MARYLAND
I watched a disaster today in Carroll County District Court. A Pennsylvania resident with a PA driver's license got a DUI and blew a .10. Instead of requesting a Hearing and getting a 6 month restricted license that would allow her to drive to her Maryland job, her...
