also known as Abraham Fernando Carpio
English Version:
After enjoying many years of public service in the State of Maryland and military agencies, I entered private practice to help people in need of legal assistance. To this new practice, I bring fluency in Spanish and a wealth of criminal law experience from my previous appellate practice, and my days as a prosecutor and JAG trial attorney.
In Spanish:
Despues de haber trabajado doce anos en el sector publico, incluyendo el Estatal y militar, he entrado a la practica privada con el proposito de ayudar al publico con necesidades de asistencia legal. A este nuevo campo traigo mi habilidad bilingue, y un cumulo de experiencia penal que abarca un trabajo extenso anterior en apelaciones y como litigador de juicios de primera instancia como oficial del gobierno.
