Waldorf is the commercial heart of Charles County, where US-301 and MD-5 carry heavy daily traffic past St. Charles, the malls, and miles of shopping. Busy roads and busy crowds mean more traffic stops, DUI charges, retail theft cases, and crashes than anywhere else in the county.
At The Law Offices of Haskell & Dyer, we help Waldorf families take a hard moment and make it manageable. We explain your options in plain words and help you choose a smart next step.
Your case is handled down in La Plata, the county seat, about 15 minutes south of Waldorf on US-301. Traffic tickets, DUI charges, and most misdemeanors go to the District Court at 200 Charles Street. Felonies, jury trials, larger civil cases, and probate go to the Circuit Court at the same Charles Street complex.
Where will my court date be if I live in Waldorf?
In La Plata, about 15 minutes south on US-301, at either the District Court or the Circuit Court on Charles Street.
I was charged with shoplifting at a Waldorf store. Can you help?
Yes. Retail theft cases out of the St. Charles shopping areas are a regular part of our criminal defense work.
Is the first call free?
Yes. The first call is free, and we will be honest about whether you need a lawyer.
