Baltimore Criminal Defense Attorney

Charged with a crime in Baltimore?

If you are facing criminal charges, you know how important it is that you have a chance to avoid conviction. At my firm, Richard S. Miller, Attorney At Law, I have served the criminally accused for 32 years, and am prepared to present your side of the story. With a painstaking review of all the lab evidence and witness testimony, police reports and other evidence that led to your arrest, I often discover exceptionally strong opportunities to defend difficult cases, whether identifying errors in police procedure, conflicting statements, or laboratory errors, among others. Rights violations, such as illegal search and seizure, no probable cause for a police stop, and other crucial aspects of your case must be evaluated without delay.
