I still enjoy getting up each day, spending time at home with my family and friends and practicing law.  About 50% of my work week is in court and the balance meeting with new clients and managing my office.  There is nothing too trivial for a client in need.  It is important to analyze the problem, find a solution and hopefully convey it quickly, efficiently and inexpensively to a client.. Our clients come from all walks of life as referrals from other clients and other attorneys. Our firm has grown to 10 attorneys and 10 administrative assistants. If our full service law firm can assist you please contact me.

I started my career working as a prosecutor in the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office. From 2003 to 2007, I prosecuted cases ranging from simple misdemeanors to complex felonies. I came to the conclusion that the criminal justice system in Baltimore was disfunctional and often treated people unfairly, especially the poor and vulnerable. I left because I wanted to help people and because I did not want to continue to be part of the failed war on drugs.. In 2007, I was fortunate enough to join the Maryland Office of the Public Defender. I left in 2016 to start a private practice.. You can read more about me on my website .

I believe in going to court with a solution, not a problem.  What I do in my practice is try to understand why my clients got into trouble and determine how I can make a difference in their future.  Properly preparing a client and their case before court is the most important job I have;  it can make a difference in the success of their case.
