Dui client

Mr. Alpert went above and beyond my expectations for court. His team is also very polite and professional and very helpful. I am still in shock at the outcome I received today at court. He was able to get all charges dismissed except one, which I plead guilty to an amended charge and only received a... fine. He is an excellent and experienced lawyer. If you want the best lawyer Mr. Alpert is that person. The team gives you a list of things to complete before court and trust me you want to do every last one of them. You have to work with the team for the best outcome with your court case. Trust me Mr. Alpert is the real deal!

Best Outcome Possible

Mr. Alpert was extremely helpful in my case and we got the best possible outcome, like it never happened. I was given tasks to complete before my trial date. I reached out from a google search and heard back within a day or two. The team was very professional and very good with clearly communicating ...the situation with me. They ensured a smooth process before and during court and did a great job with preparing me. Mr. Alpert was extremely professional and helpful in my case. I am so grateful and cannot thank Mr. Alpert and his team enough.

Criminal Case in Charles County

I was charged with “free bagging” multiple items on different occasions from a local retailer. The police came to my house and I was charged with the crimes. I was embarrassed and devastated as this could be a career stopper for me as I work for the government. I contacted Mr. Alpert’s office and rec...eived a call back the same day. Him and all his staff were so professional and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had. What I appreciated about this lawyer is he will be honest and tell you what you need to hear versus what we want to hear. A game-plan was laid out and I was given specific tasks to accomplish before my trial date. I did all of them and Mr. Alpert used the work that I did to advocate on my behalf. He was very calm, confident, and extremely knowledgeable. Many individuals immediately recognized him to include the judge, and you could tell that he had a very high reputation that preceded him. Instead of facing jail time (like many under the same circumstances in Charles County do), he was able to show that I took the steps to improve myself and use that information to have the charges set aside for 12 months. I was worried as I am facing a background investigation renewal towards the end of the year, so he was able to negotiate that down to only 9 months so that I won’t face any difficulties with my job at all. If I have no other criminal issues over the next few months, it will be closed, and I can apply to have it expunged off my record. After I signed for my paperwork, Mr. Alpert waited for me to thoroughly explain everything to me. I felt very comfortable and was happy that he didn’t see me as just another number on the docket as other lawyers do. Before we left the courthouse, we grabbed the expungement paperwork to have it ready to file as soon as it is time to do so. If you do exactly what you are told (game plan), I have no doubt that Mr. Alpert will have a successful victory with your case. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and would highly recommend Mr. Alpert for any needs that you may have.

Second DUI/BUI and complete dismissal

First of all, I was charged with a DUI about a year ago. That is the first time that I needed Andrew and his team. They were able to get me out of trouble with a PBJ. However, during that 18 months period of probation, I was unfortunate enough to get charged with a BUI (again in Maryland) threatening... a violation of my probation. Also to mention, I am currently following a green card process. Therefore, I could've not afford any conviction to an alcohol jail-able charge since both process, the green card and the probation, would've been compromised. Andrew is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who figured a way out. He was able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor. I had to spend 24 hours in jail on a Friday-Saturday, and the prosecutor was going to dismiss the whole case. For some people like me, the fact of going to jail, even for only 24 hours sounded terrible at first sight. However, it only took me 24 hours and the whole case was resolved without impacting the rest of my life. I spent 24 hours in jail, then the prosecutor dismissed the case on the Monday and Andrew and his team filed the expungement the following day removing any trace of my time in jail. This whole story ended up the best way possible. Incredible attorney! With Andrew, you definitely get a return on the investment you put on him! If you are in a complicated situation with the Justice, play it safe and hire Andrew, that is the best advise I can give.

Posted by Obi | January 13, 2020 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

I couldn’t ask for a better outcome.

March 2019, a series of bad decisions lead to me being charged with A DUI and possession of drug paraphernalia. I thought my life was over, I honestly did not see how the situation could be resolved without major parts of my life being ruined. To make matters worse, the police seized my car and phone... because they suspected I was a drug dealer. Needless to say I needed a lawyer but not just any lawyer. I needed a great lawyer and I needed one fast. At this point I did what most of us would do, I googled ‘DUI lawyers in Maryland’. The list was exhausting and I spent a good amount of time calling a few firms but none made a connection with me. I was always hurried off the phone after they collected data and was promised a call from an actual attorney. I eventually ended up on a site that rated the top lawyers in the area. I focused on the top 3 firms because I want the best. Alpert Schreyer, LLC immediately stood out because attorney Andrew Alpert was a former DUI prosecutor and the other lawyers at the firm had interned and/or clerked for current Maryland judges. Basically the knew the system. I called them up and their data collection process went a long in convincing me I was on the right path. I was given helpful information and reassured that my situation was as bad as I thought it was. I got a call back in a matter of minutes not days. Arya laid out my best and worse case scenarios and assured me he would get me the best scenario. He asked me not to commit to hiring him until I read the firms reviews. They were all glowing so I called back to commit. He gave me a price which was not cheap but I wanted the best and was willing to pay. He gave me a game plan which I followed to a T. He also told how best to handle my car and phone situation. I was not a drug dealer and there was absolutely nothing in either my car or phone to say otherwise and they knew it. They were just being arrogant. My first court date came and Arya didn’t like the judge and prosecutor so he requested a continuance. This would also allow him time to file to merge the DUI and possession cases so they could be clear with a single judgement. This was very important because both cases lumped together were easier to litigate than two separate cases. The second court date came and the cases had not been merged, plus Arya didn’t like the prosecutor so he asked for another continuance which the judge granted but let us know no other continuances would be granted. During the third court date the cases still had not been merged but Arya was somehow able to convince the judge to grant one more continuance. If the cases were not merged by the next court date we had no choice but handle them as two separate cases which was not good. Guess what? The next court date came and the case were still not merged so we would handle the DUI first and wait for another date for the possession case. Arya was quickly able to negotiate a PBJ with only 1 point on my license. I was more than happy with this outcome but guess what? The officer didn’t show to court so the entire case was thrown out. I guess he got tired of showing up. The date for the possession case came and Andy was able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor and that case was throw out as well. The outcome of this case was totally based on me following the game plan Arya had laid out for me. So I am currently writing this review with no mention of the DUI or the possession on my record. It took almost a year to resolve the cases but I can’t argue with results. The entire process was extremely expensive too but well worth it. I would highly recommend the firm to anyone with a DUI problem. Part of Arya’s game plan were a series of actions that helped me overcome my issues and taught me to learn from my mistakes so I never make them again. I am definitely a better person after going through this situation with the assistance of this firm. I can’t thank them enough.
