Areas of Focus
College Offenses
- Parents of College Students - I regularly represent students of the University of Maryland College Park. Learn how I can help your child if he or she if facing criminal charges and academic penalties.
- Drunk Driving and College Students - If you're under 21, you face severe sanctions if you are charged with a driving DUI, DWI, or another alcohol-related offense in Maryland.
- Date / Acquaintance Rape - Date rape or acquaintance rape is a sex crime which involves an allegation of nonconsensual, forcible sex between persons who know each other.
- Juvenile Court - Including drug possession, use or distributions, sex crimes, robbery, theft, shoplifting, malicious destruction of property, vandalism, and other juvenile crimes.
Judicial Board and Academic Dishonesty Hearings: The Judicial Board hearing process at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) can be frightening to students and their families. If you have been charged with violations of the Code of Student Conduct, the Residence Hall Contract, or the Honor Code (academic dishonesty), you may face expulsion, suspension, termination of your housing, and other sanctions.
I have defended students in Judicial Board and Academic Dishonesty Hearings for 25 years. My expertise in this very specialized area has been invaluable in saving the academic careers of numerous clients.
Criminal Defense
- Drunk Driving, Traffic Offenses, and MVA Hearings - I provide aggressive defense against DUI/ DWI charges in the criminal court as well as administrative hearings at the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) regarding driver's license suspension. Do not underestimate the importance of an MVA hearing. Suspension of your driver's license is a serious matter. License suspension may be a minor inconvenience for some, but is a major problem if your job depends on your ability to drive.
- Drug Offenses - If you have been charged with drug possession, possession with intent to distribute, drug distribution, manufacturing, or any other drug-related offense, you need an experienced advocate on your side.
- Sex Offenses - Sex crimes can include rape, sexual assault, incest, child molestation, child pornography, solicitation of a minor, and date rape. If you are convicted of certain sex offenses, you will be required to register as a sex offender on the Maryland Sex Offender Registry, in addition to other potential penalties, such as imprisonment.
- White Collar Crimes - Embezzlement, financial impropriety, misuse of company credit cards, employee misconduct
- Theft - Robbery, burglary, shoplifting, retail theft, employee theft, auto theft
- Violent crimes - Murder, manslaughter (vehicular or while driving under the influence), felony or misdemeanor assault, weapons charges, robbery, and domestic violence
Personal Injury
For more than 35 years, I have successfully represented thousands of people who have suffered physical injury or financial losses as a result of car accidents, truck accidents, slip-and-fall accidents, work accidents, and medical malpractice. I can help you receive the compensation you may deserve for serious injury or wrongful death.
Social Security Disability
If you have been denied Social Security Disability (SSD) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), do not give up. You have the right to appeal. An appeal can result in a reversal of an unfavorable decision. I can help you get the financial and medical benefits to which you may be entitled if you are unable to work because of disability.
