Tough Times Call For Tough Representation
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 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...
The more a client screws up, the more they expect the unattainable. Someone came in to see me, and I am so sure I will not get a call back, I can write generally about the case. The facts are awful. Nobody died or was injured, but that was just an accident of timing...

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...
There may be nothing harder than getting through to a teenager who is addicted to pills. Oxycodone is synthetic heroin. It does not matter how affluent your family is, heroin is heroin, and it is the ultimate monkey on the back of any person. Couple that with raw...
