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.

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 .
