I am a post conviction and appellate criminal defense attorney. My office is located in Greenbelt, but I practice throughout the State of Maryland and the District of Columbia. I've been a licensed attorney for fourteen years. Of course I believe in advocating zealously for my clients in the courtroom, but I also believe part of my job is to keep you well informed about what is going on in your case. Being involved in a criminal case can be initimidating, dealing with your lawyer shouldn't be. I won't always tell you what you want to hear. I will be direct and honest. I accept collect calls and consultations are free.
