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

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...
Maryland Super Lawyers
I have once again been fortunate to make the lists. As I wrote in the past, it does not mean anything unless you do the work for each client.
