Get Your Free ConsultationWhatever You Are Facing, We Have Stood There Before
Most people call us on the worst day of their year. Some are scared of jail. Some are grieving. Some are trying to protect what they spent a lifetime building. Across every practice area below, our job is the same: tell you the truth, give you a plan, and fight for the best outcome the facts allow. Find your situation and see exactly how we help.
Criminal Defense
When the State Is Building a Case Against You
DUI & Traffic Violations
A single stop can cost you your license, your insurance rate, and in some jobs, your career. We challenge the stop, the test, and the paperwork, and we fight for your driving privileges at the MVA hearing too.
See how we defend DUI cases →Drug Crimes
Possession, distribution, trafficking, cultivation. The charge on paper is rarely the whole story. We attack the search, the lab work, and the chain of custody, and we look hard for the path that keeps your record clean.
Learn about drug charge defense →Assault & Battery
Assault cases often come down to who the court believes and what the evidence actually shows. We gather the texts, the video, and the witnesses that tell the full story, not just the version in the police report.
Learn about assault defense →Weapon Crimes
Maryland gun law is strict, and the penalties stack fast, sometimes with mandatory minimums that run consecutive. We know how these cases are charged and where they can be taken apart.
Learn about weapon charge defense →Theft & Robbery
Shoplifting, embezzlement, robbery. One word in the charging document can be the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony. We fight to keep a single bad moment from following you for life.
Learn about theft defense →White Collar Crimes
Fraud, tax, and financial cases are won or lost on intent and on the paper trail. We bring in forensic accountants and dig into the records to show the jury what really happened.
Learn about white collar defense →Sex Crimes
Few charges carry more weight, both in court and in the registry that can follow a conviction. These cases demand discretion, speed, and a defense built with great care. We provide all three.
Learn about sex crime defense →Murder & Homicide
When the charge is the most serious one Maryland has, every decision matters from the first hour. We mount a complete defense, from the scene and the science to the story the state cannot prove.
Learn about homicide defense →Juvenile Offenses
A child's case is about their future, not just the next court date. We push for diversion, sealed records, and outcomes that let a young person move forward without a permanent mark.

Protection & Safety
When You Need the Court to Step In
Protective Orders
Whether you need protection from someone or you have been served with an order that threatens your home, your job, or your kids, the hearing moves fast. We help you walk in prepared.

Personal Injury
When Someone Else's Carelessness Cost You
Vehicle Accidents
After a serious crash, the insurance company starts working against you within days. We handle the claim, the adjusters, and the paperwork so you can focus on getting better.
Learn about accident claims →Wrongful Death
No case is harder, and none deserves more care. We carry the legal weight so your family can grieve, and we fight for the accountability and support you are owed.
Learn about wrongful death claims →Medical Malpractice
When the care that was supposed to help you caused harm instead, the proof is in the records and the experts. We know how to build that case and who to call.
Learn about malpractice claims →Nursing Home Abuse
You trusted a facility to care for someone you love. When that trust is broken, we step in to uncover what happened and hold the people responsible to account.
Learn about nursing home cases →Slip & Fall
A fall on someone else's property can mean months of recovery and a stack of bills that were never your fault. We prove what made the property unsafe and who should pay for it.
Learn about slip and fall claims →Dog Bites
A dog bite can leave lasting scars, physical and otherwise, especially for children. We handle the owner, the insurer, and the claim so your family can heal.

Estates, Family & Civil Matters
When You Are Planning Ahead or Settling a Dispute
Estate Planning
The best gift you can leave your family is a clear plan. Wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and the documents that spare the people you love a hard fight later.
Learn about estate planning →Estates & Probate
Settling an estate is stressful in the middle of grief. We guide families through the Orphans' Court and probate so the process is one less thing to carry.
Learn about estates and probate →Family Law
Custody, support, divorce. These cases shape daily life for years. We protect your rights and your relationship with your children while keeping the process as steady as it can be.
Learn about family law →Civil Litigation
When a disagreement cannot be settled across a table, it ends up in court. We bring clear strategy and steady advocacy to contract, property, and business disputes.
Learn about civil litigation →Collections
Money you are owed is money your business needs. We pursue what is yours through the proper legal channels, firmly and efficiently.

Common Questions
Answers Before You Call
How much does it cost to talk to a lawyer here?
The first consultation is free. You can lay out your situation, get honest answers, and find out where you stand before you spend a dollar. Call 301-627-5844 to set it up.
What areas do you serve?
We represent clients across Southern Maryland, with a focus on Calvert, St. Mary's, and Prince George's counties, plus Charles and Anne Arundel. If your case is in one of these courts, we can help.
I was just arrested. What should I do right now?
Say as little as possible to police, ask for a lawyer, and call us. The sooner we get involved, the sooner we can protect your rights, work on bail, and start building your defense. Our 24/7 line is 240-687-0179.
Do I really need a lawyer for a "minor" charge?
Often, yes. Charges that look small still add points, fines, or a record that shows up in background checks for years. A short conversation can tell you whether it is worth fighting. Usually it is.
Will my case go to trial?
Many cases resolve before trial through dismissals, reduced charges, or negotiated outcomes. But we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, because that is what gives you leverage and protects you if it does.
How fast can I get a consultation?
Usually the same day. Call the main line at 301-627-5844 during business hours, or the 24/7 line at 240-687-0179 if it cannot wait.
