I am happy to meet
with you in person or talk to you on the telephone to discuss your case and my
fee.
Although I had a
general practice for some years, I now practicing only criminal law in order to
better serve my clients. (Please refer to my
article about this issue.)
I lived and
practiced law in Carroll County, Maryland from 1989 until 2001 when I moved to
the Eastern Shore. I opened a second office on the Eastern Shore in Queen Anne's
County, in 1997. For my clients' convenience, I still have my Carroll County
office in Westminster, and my Queen Anne's County office, as well as an
interview office in Anne Arundel County (in Glen Burnie).
Concentrating
on criminal law has given me the opportunity to become familiar with a number of
Maryland counties, and in order to better serve my clients, I have limited the
number of counties in which I practice. You want someone who knows the
battlefield. If you have a case in a county where I do not often appear, I
usually can refer you to an attorney who is familiar with that county's court
system and who does appear there frequently.
I now provide
representation in the following counties: Anne Arundel, Caroline, Carroll,
Charles, Dorchester, Frederick, Howard,, Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot.

I have represented clients at every level of the
state court system and in federal court in trials lasing from ½ hour to two
weeks. I've participated in cases with multiple defendants, argued search and
seizure, improper confession and wiretap issues.
Here are a few of my cases that
you might find interesting:

v. Humphries, 322 MD 347 (1991), allowing someone to sue an off duty
policeman as a private citizen without police immunity, and has been extensively
cited. (trial and appellate counsel)
State v. Fernando
Hernandez (trial counsel)
