Criminal Defense
Criminal convictions can lead to high fines, losing your driver's license and jail time, among other consequences. As a former prosecutor for Talbot County, our attorney knows how the prosecution will approach our clients' cases. We are able to thoroughly prepare your case for trial and/or a plea. We will fight on your side throughout the litigation process if you are facing a misdemeanor or felony such as:
- Drug offenses
- Gun crimes
- Drunk driving (DUI, also called DWI)
We will give you the information you need to make intelligent decisions about your criminal defense. Together, we will determine the best course of action for your situation.
