As an attorney, my practice areas include criminal defense, DUI defense, personal injury, and civil litigation. I also provide outside general counsel services to various small businesses, assisting them with a range of legal issues.
I bring a significant amount of jury trial experience to my practice, having successfully tried over 30 cases to verdict. These cases encompass serious criminal offenses as well as complex civil disputes, including personal injury matters. My broad legal background equips me to effectively represent my clients and address their distinct needs.
In addition, I represent both individuals and businesses in interactions with regulatory and licensing authorities in the State of Maryland, such as the Office of Child Care and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. My clientele includes daycare centers and professionals, such as nurses, therapists, and doctors, who face challenges with licensing.
