Weed Makes Your Eyes Weird; Cops Are Counting On It

By |September 18th, 2023|Drug Charge Defense|

Ahh, the wonders of marijuana. A medical master and the ultimate way to chill out, it’s no surprise this magic plant is the world’s most common illegal (mostly) drug. While many states, including ours, have legalized recreational usage of marijuana, it is still very much a controlled substance and there are still rules and laws [...]

Let’s Bust Some Maryland Traffic Ticket Myths

By |September 5th, 2023|Traffic Citation|

The world is full of harmless myths and superstitions, local legends, things like Mothmen and Big Feet. Largely, these are just fun ways to make sense of the world and one can believe in them for their whole lives without being negatively affected.

Self-Defense Versus Assault in Maryland

By |August 21st, 2023|Criminal Defense|

We don’t typically walk around in our day-to-day lives expecting to get into a physical altercation of some sort, but the same is true for pretty much anything negative we may face.

By |August 14th, 2023|DUI|

When you get into some sort of trouble you really don’t want to be in, what do you do? Exactly — you try to get out of it. Not because you’re guilty, not because you’re hiding anything, but because trouble isn’t fun. As kids, “getting out of trouble” mostly means being very cute about it [...]

Fighting Unfair Traffic Violation Charges

By |August 7th, 2023|Traffic Citation|

As common as it is to get into a car accident at some point in your life, it’s even more common to get a traffic violation of some sort. From the moment we get our licenses to the day we make some young whippersnapper drive us around, some sort of mistake — genuine or alleged [...]

Being Drunk Ain’t a Great Defense…for Anything

By |August 3rd, 2023|DUI|

There’s nothing wrong with getting a little “slizzard,” as the kids say, every once in a while. Everyone needs to let loose sometimes with a few drinks and some friends, right? But as true as that is, being drunk doesn’t absolve you of your actions — at least, not entirely, not always, and not easily. [...]

What Does It Mean to Get “Points” on Your License?

By |July 17th, 2023|DUI|

Points are often a good thing. Someone with the most points will win a game of baseball, basketball, football, or hockey – you get the idea. But if you score the most points in golf, hearts, or on your driver’s license, you’ll find yourself solidly in the loser’s bracket. Maryland’s driver’s license points system helps [...]

Stop Bragging About Drugs Online

By |July 10th, 2023|Drug Charge Defense|

Social media has turned the way the world communicates on its head. Human connections are now being expressed through algorithms and text generated from a device the size of an adult person’s palm. The instant nature of the connection is further enhanced by instant messaging programs that are often part of social media platforms. Something [...]
