DUI Charge

Jon proved to be a superb Attorney and outstanding person who genuinely cares about the best outcome for his clients. He proved this to me after I was cited in Maryland for DUI, DWI, using a hand held telephone and Negligent Driving. After reading an over exaggerated police report, I felt like I wa...s dead meat. While, then I met Jon and he gave me hope that he could back. He did everything he could possibly do to mitigate the serious nature of these charges. If you want a prize fighter who is willing to bob and weave to obtain the best possible results for you, trust me, this is your man. He gave me a course of action to help mitigate the charges and potential judgement orders, learned everything he could about all the Judges went to other specialty Attorneys for work related letters and went to trial when he didn’t get the outcome that I desired. During trial, he demonstrated a mastery level of knowledge of the law and I believe that he even impressed the Judge with his understanding. In the end, I was charged with Negligent Driving, was ordered to attend a MADD Intervention Panel and received six months unsupervised probation before judgement (PBJ) before being possibly charged for DWI. I watched other have much worse outcomes and our (he plays as a team) outcome would have probably been much worse without Jon’s outstand service!

Samurai or Ronin, either way you want him by your side

Just bloody hire him! Stop your research as I have done it for you. Not only did I do research, but experienced it first hand. When I spoke with him he was realistic. Did not promise anything other then he will fight for me till the very end. He did, and did it with dismissal of my m.d. charge. B...TW, my case resulting in dismissal was not only improbable but possibility of it happening was in .001% range. Yet he figured it out. Do not give up! Appeal if you lost the first round, and stick with Jon! Remember, as Jon says, you have two bits of the apple! Japanese proverb says: Strategy without plan is a daydream. Plan without strategy is a nightmare. Jon comes up with both strategy and plan how to execute it. Simply unbelievable! I think there has to be a third class besides Samurai and Ronin. I would like to call it JON: One that can do what neither Samurai nor Ronin can. Just hire him!

Jon is the real deal!! As good as it gets. The best!!!!

Where do I begin, I was facing a dwi 2nd within 5-10 years along with a refusal. I thought my life was over, I for sure that I would lose my license for 3 years, face a lengthy jail sentence and have to pay a hefty fine. Jon worked his magic and got me exactly what I wanted. No jail, minimal fine ...and my license albeit restricted remained intact. Jon is not your typical lawyer he really genuinely cares about his clients, he is very personable, a bit quirky, intelligent and has a special way with people. I fully endorse Jon and would recommend him to anyone in need of the services he specializes in. I hope to never need Jon again but if I do he is the only one I will call. Thanks Jon!!! I am really appreciative of everything

Top-notch trial attorney

Jon got a good result on a DUI/refusal to blow trial involving a collision -- after examining the arresting officer, the prosecutor accepted our offer of pleading down to reckless and refusal. This is apparently very rare in DUIs involving a collision. The prosecutors are generally unwilling to give... such a deal in such cases. I attribute this result to Jon's talent and preparation. Jon was generally responsive to emails and calls within a day, and his staff are on point. His demeanor and experience calmed me and inspired confidence in his abilities, and I speak on this point as a fellow lawyer. His courtroom demeanor set him apart from other attorneys. I probably saw four other attorneys argue DUIs on my court date, and Jon made each of them seem amateurish and unprepared. I recommend Jon without reservation, and had an overwhelmingly positive experience in his representation of me.
