Legal battles can be the most high-stress periods of a person’s life. Whether you are faced with crippling injuries or life-altering criminal charges, you need a legal team with the experience, expertise, and drive to protect your rights.
Being charged with a crime in Baltimore is a serious matter—your freedom, future, and reputation are all put on the line. Whether you are facing felony or misdemeanor charges, a conviction can have drastic and far reaching consequences for your career and well-being.
Criminal charges require well-informed and dedicated attorneys to win you the best possible ruling for your case. Felony and misdemeanor charges in Baltimore include:
Burglary is defined as entering someone else’s property with the intent of committing a crime. The term conjures up images of men in ski masks creeping into residential homes, but many other types of properties are included, such as watercraft, businesses, and warehouses.
Driving with a BAC above .08 is illegal in the state of Maryland. Without a good DUI attorney, driving under the influence can lead to steep fines, a suspended license, or even jail time. When charged with a DUI, it’s important to contact a knowledgeable criminal lawyer as soon as possible.
Drug crime is a blanket term, including (but not limited to) trafficking, possession, and the sale and manufacturing of controlled substances. These charges carry harsh penalties in the state of Maryland, and have life-altering effects for the accused.
Depending on the value of the items stolen, shoplifting in Maryland can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony—resulting in high penalties and even prison time. A shoplifting charge on your criminal record can also make it extremely difficult to get a job in the future.
Assault and battery are two separate and very serious charges in Maryland. Depending on the individuals involved and the severity of injury, the accused may face jail or prison time, not to mention a permanent violent crime conviction on their record. Contact us to discuss your options to secure the best result possible.
Thousands are charged with domestic violence in Maryland every year. A domestic violence conviction carries severe legal penalties, and can ruin your career and reputation.
We place our health and confidence in the hands doctors and other medical professionals—which makes it all the more catastrophic when those medical professionals behave in a careless or reckless manner on the job.
When a doctor or nurse acts negligently during a birthing procedure, the newborn can suffer permanent brain injury that results in serious conditions such as cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy, or autism. A lawyer can provide you and your family with aggressive legal representation and compassionate counsel in the event of a birthing injury to ensure your child gets the best care possible.
Surgical errors often lead to serious disability or death. Common examples include inadvertently piercing an organ, severing a nerve, or leaving a foreign object in the body. You can hold a negligent surgeon accountable for their error through a medical malpractice claim. Through a successful claim, you may be able to recover compensation and ensure the surgeon does not continue to harm others.
Medical negligence of all kinds has the potential to cause serious and lasting harm, injury, and disability. But when it comes to ligating these cases, there are often many legal obstacles. In many cases, patients have agreed to accept some risk when undergoing certain treatments or procedures.
Our dedication to getting concrete financial results for our clients sets us apart. While other personal injury law firms boast high profile cases with huge payouts, they neglect to mention the actual sum of money their clients receive after the firm takes its cut. Our legal team operates a little differently: we make it our personal goal to maximize the amount of money you bring home for you and your family.
At our legal practice, we know injuries and accidents can be devastating to both your finances and physical and emotional well-being. While nothing can make up for the trauma you suffered, financial compensation can help you cover the cost of medical bills, lost wages, and any other costs associated with recovery.
Some common examples of personal injury cases include:
Whether it’s a drowsy or intoxicated driver, unsafe equipment, or overloaded cargo, negligent trucking companies and their drivers can be an enormous danger to others on the road. Because unique laws regulate commercial truck driving companies, trucking injury suits require a knowledgeable, experienced truck accident lawyer.
These traffic accidents resulted in 55,232 injuries and 635 fatalities. In Baltimore, where the largest population lives, we have the lion’s share of these traffic accidents.
All property and business owners have a duty to maintain a safe environment for others. If they fail to do so, it can lead to slips, falls, and other injuries. If you were injured on the premises of another, you may have a premise liability case.
Credit card fraud perpetrators are not exclusively individuals acting alone. Sometimes the unscrupulous actions of a major credit card company constitute fraud. Some of these fraudulent actions include hidden fees for cash transactions, masked APRs, and failing to acknowledge past payments.
Foodborne illness is no laughing matter—bacteria from unsafe food handling practices make 1 in 6 Americans sick every year, and serious cases of food poisoning can lead to hospitalization or even death. These complex lawsuits require an attorney with a strong background in foodborne sickness cases.
Trauma to the brain has devastating, long-lasting effects for victims. It’s imperative to contact an attorney as soon as possible, to begin to gather the necessary medical evidence for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) lawsuits.
All property and business owners have a duty to maintain a safe environment for others. If they fail to do so, it can lead to slips, falls, and other injuries. If you were injured on the premises of another, you may have a premise liability case.
From prescription drugs to car tires to playpens, we depend on the things we buy to be safe and work as advertised. When companies cut corners, it can lead to illness, injury, or even death for their customers.
Nothing can replace a lost loved one. But wrongful death lawsuits can help cover the unexpected costs of medical bills and funeral expenses, while holding the responsible party accountable.
