For more than three decades I've concentrated my legal practice on the highly specialized legal services required of my unique group of special clients: Students, Youth, Children, Juveniles, Young Adults, and their parents. I am a fully licensed attorney practicing continually in Maryland and (before giving up my license there, in Washington, DC). Early on in my law practice, I  dedicated my career to providing the finest in legal services, specially tailored to the unique needs of my young clients. Students, Juveniles and Youth, absolutely deserve and definitely benefit from the kind of highly customized legal services, attorney representation, legal advocacy, and counsel I strive to provide each and every client. 

As a private practice lawyer with a specialized focus on serving the legal needs of students, children, and youth. My law office concentrates on education law, and student-school law, juvenile law, and Juvenile court cases. For over 30  years concentrating on all legal matters of young people. I've appeared as counsel in juvenile court appearances in hundreds of cases. I've appeared before virtually every school district office within Maryland, most Maryland Circuit Courts, and Juvenile Courts in various jurisdictions within the greater D.C. Metropolitan region and many others throughout the State. School issues, free speech and assembly, residency and student transfers, all disciplinary matters from suspension through expulsion and the possible appeals thereafter. Juvenile justice and police involvement, representation and the right to counsel. My practice involves a global reach of legal issues impacting youth, students and their parents or guardians. Special education law, juvenile waiver hearings and student rights are of primary focus in my office.
