Choosing a Criminal Defense Attorney

Have you been charged with a crime in Baltimore?

Being charged with a criminal offense and facing prosecution and the possibility of a severe sentence may be one of the most frightening and stressful experiences you will ever live through. If you find yourself in this difficult position, it is vital to have the support of a skilled and experienced Baltimore criminal attorney. With 32 years of experience in defense law, I am a member of the National Association for Criminal Defense Attorneys and a two time participant of the Georgetown Law Center Institute for Trial Advocacy in Washington, D.C., and have achieved results for clients even in the most difficult criminal trials.

When you have been accused of any type of crime, your future is at stake and the chances of a successful outcome depend in no small part on the ability of your attorney to argue your case successfully. In cases where an acquittal is not possible due to the existing evidence, an effective attorney can often negotiate a plea bargain or a reduction of the charges to a less serious offense, such as from a felony to a misdemeanor.

There are many law firms in our area that are capable of providing excellent legal representation, but it's not enough to display skill in litigation—you as the client also deserve a high level of personal service and attention to your unique needs and expectations. Before hiring a law firm to represent you, you should take the time to meet with the attorney for a consultation, both to discuss your case and to get to know the personality of the person you are considering to represent you in court. Your attorney should be someone you can trust and have confidence in, someone who will answer your questions and help you understand your rights, and should most importantly be someone who cares about you and your future, and knows what it takes to get the results you deserve.
