I am a post conviction and appellate criminal defense attorney.  My office is located in Greenbelt, but I practice throughout the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia.  I've been a licensed attorney for fourteen years.  Of course I believe in advocating zealously for my clients in the courtroom, but I also believe part of my job is to keep you well informed about what is going on in your case.  Being involved in a criminal case can be initimidating, dealing with your lawyer shouldn't be.  I won't always tell you what you want to hear.  I will be direct and honest.  I accept collect calls and consultations are free.
