Sabnis Vs mohanty - Montgomery county Maryland

Andrew Jezic and his firm provided exceptional representation during one of the most devastating periods of my life. My ex-wife, a child psychiatrist, made false allegations that I had abused my kids, which led to my arrest and more than two months of incarceration. During that time, I was assaulted ...in jail as a direct consequence of these unfounded accusations. After losing confidence in my previous attorney, I retained Mr. Jezic and his firm. He acted immediately—appearing before the court and securing my release on bail when it seemed highly unlikely. He then conducted a meticulous and strategic review of my case, identifying serious procedural irregularities and exposing the complete absence of forensic or corroborating evidence to support the allegations. Mr. Jezic also uncovered deeply troubling conduct by my ex-wife, including her misuse of psychological techniques that had influenced my children against me. Through his thorough advocacy and command of the facts, the truth ultimately prevailed, and all criminal charges against me were dismissed by the prosecution. Although I lost my position as a CTO and suffered profound personal and professional harm, Mr. Jezic’s representation allowed me to clear my name and begin rebuilding my life. In a subsequent child custody proceeding, I was awarded full custody of my children, and the court sharply criticized my ex-wife for her conduct and misuse of the legal system, ordering supervised visitation. I am deeply grateful to Andrew Jezic and his firm for their skill, integrity, and unwavering commitment to justice. Their work not only restored my freedom and reputation—it protected my relationship with my children and changed the course of my life.

Amazing Lawyer!!!!

I was looking at 35 years in jail! My case was very bad and difficult. I was accused of child abuse and sex abuse of a minor. Due to the nature of my case, it went through jury trial for almost four days. My case was represented by one of the TOP CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS IN MARYLAND, Andrew Jezic. An...dy is very experienced and also one of the top 100 best lawyers in Maryland. Andy took care of my case very professionally. He made sure I was informed and understood every step he was taking about my case. He was always available anytime I had a question. Either going to the office, phone calls, emails or even texts. Throughout his communication, I had confidence that I was in good hands. Andy NEVER puts money as his first priority, BUT his clients. Through his hard work and experience, I was found NOT guilty with all the counts. My experience with Andy was very excellent. A very reliable criminal defense lawyer one can think of. Not forgetting his professional staff as well, I would say my case was handled so well, and well informed with everything. Andrew Jezic, I can't thank you enough. I now can get enough sleel and enjoy my life like every one else. Thanks again Andy from the bottom of my heart, and may our good Lord give you more knowledge, and also good health, that you continue to to help innocent souls. I will definitely recommend you and your law firm to my family and friends in case one get into trouble. Andy may God richly bless you and your colleagues for the great job you all do. Francis.

Miracle Result

Andy Jezic is an amazing lawyer. I had a serious case, yet Andy was able to get it completely dismissed. I am truly grateful for his hard work and dedication. He forms strong relationships with his clients and has extensive knowledge about the criminal defense world. I was easily able to communic...ate with him via texting, emails, and calling, even in the late hours of the night. He gave me frank advice about the case and about life outside the case.

Andrew Jezic is a Hero!!

Andrew Jezic saved my life. Was dealing with cmplexities in my legal situation. Jezic's defense was PURE brilliance, Jezic legal saviness, likableness, his entire firm feels like family, that holds your hand EVERY step of the way. I will never forget how amazing his office is. The reception is gr...and, a paralegal Andrea who helped, was ALWAYS warm. I know that Awndrew's experience as a Prosecutor sets him apart from the rest, as that experience gives him the ability to see both sides o the story, which is INVALUABLE!! To top it off, hs office is super convenient l, offers free parking, amazingly convenient meeting times, VERY resonable pricing, and offers the old world FAMILY feeling, which made a very stressful time, pleasant. Andrew Jezic saved my life!! I can't thank him enough!!

Faith, Favor and Deliverance

Andrew Jezic was referred to me by another attorney that I found via the internet. Once I described my case and how serious it was, this attorney highly recommended Andrew. I was being accused of child molestation (which is a felony) and was very concerned about who would be representing me. Although... this attorney was familiar with molestation cases and could have taken me as her client; she wanted me to have the person that she referred to as her “Mentor.” So I prayed first and proceeded to call Andrew. I was in his office within the first week. I noticed that he had a lot of awards and accolades posted in his office. In addition, he was once a Prosecutor who prosecuted sex offenders. At this point was when I knew that Andrew was the attorney for me. We discussed my situation and he patiently listen as I went through the accusations that were against me. Eventually a warrant was issued and I had to turn myself in to avoid being arrested. Andrew was there to argue my case to get my bail reduce. By God’s grace, I made bail and was out to continue living my life of freedom. I cannot mention all the things that I lost during this ordeal: my business, some friends, my place of residence, etc. A year later, I finally got my date for a trial that would last a week. First let me tell you about a case like mine. These type of cases are very hard to win due to the fact that it is human nature to believe that a young girl making sexual accusations must be telling the truth. In addition, although they say that the burden is on the Prosecutor; I truly believe that the burden is really on the Defense. I say this because in a case of child molestation, in my opinion, a jury sees you as being guilty until proven innocent. Well to make a long story short, Andrew was able to get 7 counts reduce to 3. A jury of 12 unanimously found me not guilty on all 3 counts. Outside of that, I never took the stand. His closing argument was the most eloquent and precise that I have ever witness. Lastly, I would like to make sure that I acknowledge Andrew’s staff. He has surrounded himself with very professional and educated people. There is one other person who assisted Andrew in preparing my case. Her name is Raquel Smith. I truly believe if it wasn’t for her intellect, hard work, dedication and commitment to my case, my results may have been different. If Andrew was the Conductor then Raquel was the Orchestra. The two of them together played beautiful music. I am always grateful and I thank God that they were the ones representing me.
