From a friend a colleague

Chris is a top notch attorney who is passionate and determined to secure positive outcomes for his clients in criminal courts throughout the great State of Maryland. As a friend and colleague of Chris in the criminal defense legal world, I am proud to know him and to run into him in various Maryland ...courthouses.

Felon with a Firearm

I was facing 40 years with a mandatory minimum of 9 years in prison because I am a felon and the police illegally searched my car and caught me with a loaded handgun and some weed. I am the breadwinner for my family. I have a legal t-shirting pritning shop in Virginia. But I have a brother in PG Co...unty and it's dangerous there so I carry a gun for self defense only. The cops illegally searched my car and found it. I was indicted by a grand jury on a felony charge and three very serious misdemeanors. Chris knew right away that the police violated my constitutional rights, explained how he would be able to help. I was doubtful. I was preparing my family for me to serve a stretch in prison. I was prepared to miss my son's little league years. Chris came through for me and my family and I cannot thank this man enough. If you want to hire a lawyer that will break the prosecution without breaking your bank, this is the guy. Other lawyers wanted $10,000 and told me I would need to cop a plea deal to keep my sentence under 5 years. Chris wasn't having none of that and got all charges dismissed for only $7,500!!!! Not only did he save me 40 years of my life he saved me a few thousand bucks too! Great guy! Little bit unorthodox, he kind of sounds like he might be from the hood, but he's a good lawyer and that's all I care about.

Highly recommended

I found Chris online and I did a lot of research on him for my brother who was dealing with his third DUI but I was with him for the whole process and Chris made the whole process super stress-free cause you can imagine how stressful this was for him and the family knowing that the possible outcomes... were very serious. He was able to get his DUI dropped and got him a better deal and no jail time. I highly recommend Chris!

Thank you for trusting me with your family. As you know a third offense caries the possibility of real jail time. 30 days is not uncommon. I was glad we were able to resolve your brother's case in a way that excluded any and all criminal charges and was reduced to just a small ticket with only 1 point on his license.
