What We Handle
- DUI/DWI: MVA elections, interlock counseling, field test and breath/blood challenges
- Assault/Domestic: Self‑defense, witness credibility, and video/911 contradictions
- Drug Offenses: Possession/PWID, vehicle/home searches, warrant sufficiency, phone data

- Theft/Property: Shoplifting, burglary, rogue and vagabond
- Bench Warrants/Probation: Violation hearings and warrant recalls
Our Approach
- Define your goals. Avoid incarceration, protect career/licensing, and reduce long‑term risk.
- Demand discovery and investigate. We obtain body‑cam, CAD, 911, lab materials, and key records.
- Move to suppress. We challenge illegal stops, searches, statements, and unreliable expert/lab evidence.
- Price risk and choose the path. Negotiation versus trial is your call—informed by our candid advice.
Evidence Focus Areas
- Stop justification and whether expansion was lawful
- NHTSA field tests: instructions, administration, scoring, and video consistency
- Custody/Miranda and voluntariness of statements
- Breath testing: observation, operator, maintenance logs, and documentation
- Blood testing: chain of custody and compliance
- Search scope, warrants, and probable cause
Mitigation & Sentencing Strategy
If a sentencing is likely, we build credibility: treatment when warranted, work/school verification, letters of support, and community involvement. We focus on what Baltimore County judges actually value—and skip the rest.
