Goldstein, he has maintained a practice, under the name of Goldstein & Stamm, P.A., in Greenbelt, Maryland, representing individuals accused of crimes and traffic offenses in state and federal courts, primarily in Montgomery (Rockville and Silver Spring), Prince George's (Upper Marlboro and Hyattsville), Howard (Ellicott City), Anne Arundel (Annapolis and Glen Burnie), Calvert (Prince Frederick), Charles (La Plata), and St. Mary's (Leonardtown) counties.

In early 2004, Andrea Hayduk joined the firm as an associate attorney also focusing on drunk driving, DUI, DWI, and criminal cases in the District, Circuit, and appellate courts of Maryland. In early 2008, Ms. Hayduk relocated to her home in Tennessee and was replaced by Johanna Leshner..

Borkenstein Course on "Alcohol, Drugs, andHighway Safety: Testing, Research, and Litigation" based out of IndianaUniversity at Bloomington. He is one of the few lawyers in the country to have taken a two and a half day overview of the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) program. Martindale-Hubbell gives him an "AV" rating. He has also been listed in "Super Lawyers" and "Best Lawyers." In September 2008, the first edition of Stamm's book, Maryland DUI Law, was published by West Publishing Company.. Stamm's philosophy in drunk driving (DUI/DWI) defense is that unless the State is offering a plea that is significantly better than going to trial and losing, there is no good reason to plead guilty and not go to trial. In drunk driving cases, unlike many other charges in state court, more often then not there is very little if any benefit to pleading guilty. As a result he prepares every DUI/DWI case for trial. This is different from the vast majority of other lawyers who will assume they cannot win your case and plead you guilty.

I bring those experiences to the table when I represent clients with criminal, DUI, or traffic charges or clients who have sustained injuries as a result of another's negligence.. I am also a trained mediator. This experience allows me to better represent clients who are ordered to participate in mediation. It also allows me to evaluate a potential case and recognize when litigation is not the best course of action for a client.
