Towson Criminal Defense Lawyer
If you were charged with a crime in Towson, the stakes are real: your record, your license, your employment, and your freedom. You need a strategy built for Baltimore County courts—especially the Towson District Court and the Baltimore County Circuit Court—and attorneys who can move fast on release, discovery, and defense. FrizWoods lawyers Luke Woods and Max Frizalone defend clients in Towson and throughout Baltimore County in DUI, assault, drug, theft, probation violation, and felony matters.
What We Defend in Towson
- DUI and DWI: License protection, MVA hearings, interlock decisions, trial strategy
- Assault and Domestic-Related Charges: Self‑defense, credibility disputes, 911 and body‑cam analysis
- Drug Offenses: Possession and CDS with intent, suppression of unlawful searches
- Felony Defense: Violent crimes, property felonies, and complex evidentiary issues
- Theft and Property Crimes: From shoplifting to burglary investigations
- Bench Warrants & Probation Violations: Warrant recalls, violation hearings, and risk control
Our Process, Step by Step
- Early case triage and goal setting. We define success with you—dismissal, reduction, or the most protective sentencing posture.
- Discovery and investigation. We demand body‑worn camera, CAD logs, 911 audio, witness statements, and lab materials. When needed, we visit the scene and interview defense witnesses.
- Targeted motions. We challenge unlawful stops, expansions of stops, searches that exceed consent or probable cause, and statements that weren’t truly voluntary. We also attack unreliable expert or lab evidence.
- Negotiation vs. trial. We price risk honestly. If trial is the move, we’re ready. If resolution is smarter, we’ll secure the most favorable terms.
Evidence We Scrutinize
- Basis for the traffic stop and any extension to a DUI or criminal investigation
- Instructions, administration, and scoring of field sobriety tests under NHTSA guidance
- Custodial status and Miranda for any statements, plus voluntariness
- Breath test observation period, operator qualifications, and instrument maintenance
- Blood testing, chain of custody, and lab protocols
- Search scope and warrant sufficiency for homes, vehicles, or phones
Mitigation That Actually Helps in Towson
Mitigation is not paperwork—it’s leverage. We tailor programs to what Baltimore County judges actually value: verified employment or schooling, counseling or treatment when appropriate, letters of support, and community involvement. We’ll tell you exactly what is worth doing, what can wait, and what won’t matter here.
Collateral Issues We Plan For
- Professional licenses and background checks
- Security clearances and federal employment
- Immigration and admissibility concerns
- CDL, rideshare, or commercial insurance needs
FAQs
Will I have to appear at every court date?
We prepare you for each appearance and explain when your presence is required. Some hearings can be administrative or rescheduled; we’ll keep you informed.
Can first‑time offenders avoid jail?
Often, yes—especially with proactive mitigation and strong motion practice. Outcome depends on the facts, prior history, and how the State views risk.
What if the officer didn’t read me my rights?
Miranda applies to custodial interrogations. Even without Miranda, other evidentiary issues may win the day. We analyze every statement for suppression arguments.
