Tough Times Call For Tough Representation
I handle a lot of cases involving college students who smoke marihuana everyday. They sell it in order to supply themselves with weed. I also see it with men and women in their late 20’s and early 30’s who are now in the work force. The youngest age for starting...
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....
I just finished a case where the state trooper put the client in front of the CLIENT’S car for the SFSTS. Huh??? The client was tall enough that you could see some of the movement of the head and torso. Otherwise, you might as well have turned the camera off. The...

Had an interesting Motion to Suppress yesterday that was granted. The issue involved the seizure of pills from the console of my client’s vehicle. We dealt with those drugs before we dealt with the arrest for possession of marihuana. That too was suppressed, but...
I will spare this trooper the embarrassment of mentioning his name. The lawyers who read this know who I am talking about. This trooper is the exception, not the Rule. He makes a DUI arrest every other day. He screws up the SFSTs every other day! In a...
...Be prepared to be asked to take a breath test. Today the Court of Appeals eliminated the defense to the requirement for taking of a breath test, that you be found driving or in actual control of the vehicle on a highway or private property used by the public in...
