Tough Times Call For Tough Representation
I try not to take a case from another lawyer. I think it is professional courtesy, unless the lawyer is a moron. A client came to me about two months ago and wanted to switch lawyers. His lawyer (the partner) is very good and a friend of mine. I told him no, but...
I finally got to try a case that was almost a year old and had been snowed out twice. I had commented on this case when I did the MVA Hearing and the officer denied my client a phone call to her attorney, and the ALJ took no action. Today we showed up with our three...
Last week there are 2 MVA incidents that were unusual. I have a client who blew a .30, yes a .30. He gets the interlock on and goes to MVA to get his new license. The DR-15A has the .30 test result. The MVA computer system has it as well. HOWEVER, the trooper...

I do not use my Blog as a political forum except as to laws the General Assembly has or needs to pass. Today, a lawyer blogger (Page Croyder) filed to run for Circuit Court in Baltimore City because she believes one of the male judges up for re-election is "horrible"...
This is a two part comment. One on the case and one about the judge. Yesterday I had a DUI with an issue about the arrest. The video showed my client was not impaired, and the only reason for the stop was excessive speed. Because of the judge's reputation for...
I watched the Webcast of the oral argument in the Court of Appeals concerning the right to counsel before you agree to take or refuse a breath test. For almost the last 30 years it has been understood that if you request counsel, you can call a lawyer or be given a...
Friday was the latest Seminar and the turnout was over 70 people. There has always been a big turnout for this and years ago when we took it around the State, the total turnout would be around 200+. There was a Maryland continuing legal education organization...
