PRACTICE AREAS
Criminal Law Specialties
Before you ever step foot into a court it is important that you consult with an attorney. Your defense begins the minute you are stopped by the police. Having legal representation prior to your arraignment date, or initial appearance, will give you a better understanding of your legal rights and how to best shape your defense. Knowing what to request in your case from the prosecutor and the judge may make the difference in the outcome and resolution of your case.
We are trial attorneys with the experience and training to advise you on the nature and specifics of your criminal case, the effects of a criminal conviction on your job and/or career, and are prepared to take your fight to the courtroom.

Civil Law / Small Business Specialties
Before going into business a company should engage an attorney to be fully and properly advised on business formation, contracts, partnership/operating agreements, and liability issues prior to starting a new venture. Starting a business is more than just making money. It is about protecting your assets, building on current profitability, and having detailed contracts that look out for your best interests while fostering client relationships.

Landlord / Tenant
Before you lease your location, you should consult an attorney to make sure that your lease has all the necessary language, is in compliance with recent laws, and your property is properly registered in the jurisdiction in which it is located. Leases are not one size fits all and should be tailored to the type of rental, length of the rental, and the jurisdiction in which the residence is located. Using a template lease from another state or one found online may not cover all possible legal issues that may face you in D.C. or Maryland.
