Best lawyer in Baltimore area
I want to take the time to say thank you Max. As DV cases are never easy but Max you made it happen. The struggle was real and 5 months later, box probation and appeal but at the end Max showed up and talk to the states att and the charges again my husband was dropped. No probation, box or violation...
