Okezie, Esq. is an aggressive, creative, dedicated, and experienced attorney who represents clients in local and federal courts in the District of Columbia and Maryland (Montgomery and Prince George's Counties) who have been charged with criminal offenses or who have suffered serious personal injuries.. Mr. Okezie is honored to have earned an AV® Preeminent Rating - the highest rating available from Martindale-Hubbell, the leading independent attorney rating entity. An AV® Rating signifies that the lawyer has reached the heights of professional excellence; he or she has practiced law for a number of years, and is recognized for the highest levels of skill and integrity.. Mr. Okezie was selected by The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100, an invitation-only organization composed of the premier trial lawyers from each state in the nation who meet stringent qualifications as civil plaintiff and/or criminal defense trial lawyers. Membership is extended solely to the select few of the most qualified attorneys from each state who demonstrate superior qualifications of leadership, reputation, influence, stature and public profile.. Mr. Okezie received his Bachelor’s Degree (with High Honors)in History/Political Science from Rutgers University in 1996 and his Juris Doctorate (Cum Laude) from DukeUniversityLawSchool in 1999.. After graduating from law school, Mr. Okezie accepted a position as an associate at Covington & Burling, one of the most prestigious law firms in the United States, where he worked with renowned criminal defense attorneys in the field of “white collar” criminal defense. Mr. Okezie then worked at Brown, Goldstein & Levy, a boutique litigation law firm, where he worked on civil rights, criminal defense, and commercial civil litigation cases.. Mr. Okezie started his own law practice in 2002. He represents clients facing a variety of criminal charges, including murder, sexual assault, robbery, burglary, kidnapping, narcotics possession and distribution, gun possession, driving while intoxicated, and “white collar” criminal offenses such as Medicaid fraud and embezzlement. He also represents clients who need to be fairly compensated for their serious personal injuries.. Mr. Okezie is client-focused, in that he approaches each case individually, always focusing on each client’s personal needs and goals. He provides his clients with quality legal services in a cost-efficient manner in order to try to meet each client’s particular needs and goals.. Mr. Okezie is result-oriented, in that he searches for and considers a wide array of potential outcomes and ways to achieve them, whether this entails moving to suppress and exclude unlawfully-obtained evidence and statements, moving to dismiss a case at an early juncture, obtaining an agreement that substantially reduces the likely sentence that a client may face and that might ultimately result in dismissal of a case, or taking any other legal recourse that is appropriate based on the circumstances of a specific case.. Of course, when a trial is necessary to achieve a client’s interests, Mr. Okezie is prepared to proceed to trial and aggressively challenge the prosecution in open court. To accomplish this, Mr. Okezie utilizes an experienced criminal investigator, who helps him thoroughly investigate the actual facts that underlie the case (rather than merely accepting the police department’s often biased view of the facts), presents arguments to undermine the prosecutor’s evidence and, when appropriate, offers evidence and testimony, all in an effort to achieve a verdict of “not guilty” on behalf of his client.. Mr. Okezie has been lead defense counsel in over 100 criminal trials and has represented well over 1,000 clients facing criminal charges. He has also litigated numerous cases for clients who have suffered serious personal injuries in order obtain fair compensation for his clients.. Mr. Okezie is on the cutting-edge of new developments in the ever-changing field of criminal law, criminal procedure, and litigation strategy. He contributes to the legal community with his expertise and experience and has been invited to participate in numerous judicial committees, as well as legal education courses and seminars, where he has lectured Judges on recent legal developments in the criminal field and trained attorneys in trial practice, criminal law, and criminal procedure.

7226 Lee Deforest Drive Suite 207 , Columbia , Maryland 21046

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

Becoming Owner and Co-Managing Partner at Shapiro Zwanetz & Lake is the realization of a dream that began years ago. Justin first had the opportunity to work with Jason Shapiro and David Zwanetz as a law clerk while in his second year of law school at the University of Baltimore. During that time, it was immediately apparent that Jason, David, and Justin all shared the same values and the same passion for fighting for every client and their particular and individual situations. Justin knew that this was “home”, and it was his dream to one day return after law school to join forces once again with Jason and David.. Upon joining them (Shapiro Zwanetz & Associates) in 2018, Justin’s effectiveness in the courtroom was quickly recognized by his peers as he was selected as one of Maryland Superlawyer’s Rising Stars, which is a distinction awarded to only 2.5% of the attorneys in Maryland.. Being charged with a crime and facing the criminal justice system can be a scary and daunting process. Justin takes great pride in each of his client's cases and works hard to keep all clients informed throughout the entire process.. Justin has years of experience handling a wide range of criminal, DUI/DWI, and traffic cases. Prior to Shapiro Zwanetz & Lake, Justin was an Assistant State’s Attorney at the Howard County State’s Attorney’s Office. During his nearly four years at the State’s Attorney’s office, Justin prosecuted thousands of DUI/DWI and misdemeanor cases, prompting his quick promotion to the Circuit Court Division, where he routinely handled major felony cases including Robbery, Armed Robbery, and First Degree Murder. Justin is now handling these same types of cases, and the experience Justin has as a former prosecutor allows him to meticulously analyze each and every aspect of his cases to get the best results for his clients.. One particularly notable case that Justin has handled was during the winter of 2019 when Justin represented a client charged with First Degree Rape, a felony that carries the possibility of life in prison. The case was not called for trial until over one full year from the date that charges were initiated. Through Justin’s tireless efforts to defend his client, he learned that the prosecution’s case was based solely on false accusations. One of the most satisfying moments of Justin’s career was when, due to Justin’s superb lawyering, evidence proposed by the State was excluded and the prosecution was forced to dismiss all charges against Justin’s client. Sharing with his client and the client’s family that their nightmare was finally over is a pinnacle moment in Justin’s career that he will never forget. Perhaps this is just one reason why one of the Maryland judges commented about him: “Justin has impressed me so much…..He puts a lot of thought into his approach for each of his clients and chose the perfect words to say on their behalf. If I didn’t know any better I’d swear Justin has been doing criminal defense for 20+ years. He is so polished and poised….”. Justin is a lifelong Maryland resident, growing up in Howard County with his parents and two sisters. Justin received his undergraduate degree from The Pennsylvania State University and matriculated from the University of Baltimore School of Law, where he graduated Cum Laude. Justin now lives in Baltimore with his wife and daughter. Justin is a passionate D.C. sports fan and enjoys cheering on the Washington Football Team, Nationals, Capitals, Wizards, and of course his Nittany Lions.
