Maryland Criminal Defense and Trial Attorney
Serving Clients in College Park, Gaithersburg, and throughout Maryland
Whether it's an auto accident injury claim or a criminal matter, each legal case has two sides. This is the very nature of our adversarial system of justice. The opposition will fight to protect their interests. You need your own, independent advocate speaking on your behalf in order to obtain the outcome or result you want. When you hire The Law Offices of Steven M. Jacoby, I will use every legal means available to accomplish your goal.
Since 1974, I have dedicated my career to helping people through challenging legal situations. I pride myself on providing personal care and aggressive representation to individuals in criminal cases, personal injury lawsuits, Social Security Disability claims, and Judicial Board Hearings regarding student misconduct. When you choose me as your lawyer, you will always talk to me. I will be the attorney handling all legal aspects of your case. Your file will be administered by me, not by someone you have never met. When we meet, we will discuss the nature of your case. I will then give you my opinions, explain your options and recommend strategies to achieve the best possible outcome.

University of Maryland College Park Judicial Board and Academic Dishonesty Hearings
The Law Offices of Steven M. Jacoby have represented student clients at the University of Maryland College Park for more than 37 years. As an alumnus of UMCP, with my main office in College Park, I bring a uniquely personal and professional outlook to representing college students accused of misconduct.
I have appeared on behalf of students, in Judicial Board and Academic Dishonesty Hearings for approximately 25 years.

Some of these charges may have concurrent criminal charges.
The objective is to stop or minimize these allegations from adversely affecting your entire collegiate experience, as well as your record. These charges may carry the possibility of expulsion, suspension, termination of your housing, and other sanctions. My expertise, in this very specialized area, has been invaluable to many students.
