Pit bull... the nickname I first received as a prosecutor.  I absolutely loved my 10 year tenure at the State's Attorney's Office in Baltimore County; throughout my time as a prosecutor, I learned how to fully prepare AND try cases at the District, Juvenile and Circuit Court levels.  My trial experience as an Assistant State's Attorney was invaluable, as I tried everything from a minor driving while suspended to murder... Although I am no longer a prosecutor, I still have the reputation of fighting diligently for my clients. My goal for my clients is to be HONEST, unfortunately a word that infrequently describes attorneys. Retaining my services means that you will be fully prepared for that which is to be expected at trial. I am not a sugar coater.  Never has a client and/or his/her family told me after trial that the outcome was unexpected.  And let it be known, I don't ever stop fighting for my clients.. While the term "pit bull" has a negative connotation to some, do not be mistaken or assume that I am uncompassionate and nasty.  I absolutely love working with my clients and turning a negative situation (let's face it, who wants to be charged with a crime or go to court for a DUI?) into a positive situation.

Facing DUI or other criminal charges can be an embarrassing, terrifying, and an intimidating experience. The arrest, the overwhelming legal process, and emotional drain can make you feel confused and abandoned without any help. I want you to know that you are not alone. I am on your side to protect your rights to the fullest. If you or a loved one is facing charges, you need an expert criminal defense lawyer in your corner who truly cares and will be an aggressive advocate. I will not judge you.  Honest and respectable people make mistakes and need  help. I concentrate in representing clients in DUI/DWI and criminal defense cases in the Greater Baltimore area and throughout Maryland.  I believe that everyone deserves high quality representation.  I strive to minimize incarceration, fines, and lifelong irreparable reputation damage. Lastly, my motto is Professional Representation and Affordable Rates.
