From: Maryland Criminal Attorney Blog
Maryland Criminal Attorneys/Lawyers are often called upon to defend
people in cases involving assaults on police officers and in
matters involving perverted practice charges. Rarely are we called
upon to represent someone charged with both of these offenses in
the same case. I had such a case in Baltimore County District Court
this week. The facts of the case are really quite humorous,
although until this week when the cases were stetted, my client's
failed to see the humor. My client's are a married couple whom I
will refer to as John and Jane in this blog to protect their
privacy. John is in his early forties and Jane, who never took his
last name, is in her mid fifties. Neither has ever been in any
trouble with the law in their lives. John is in the printing
business and Jane has...

Client Successfully Defended in Manufacturing a Controlled Dangerous Substance Case in Baltimore County Circuit Court
Baltimore Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys/Lawyers are often
called upon to represent defendants who are charged with
manufacturing a controlled dangerous substance. Most of these cases
involve the growing of Marijuana as this one did, but some involve
the manufacture of methamphetamines or other drugs. The case I had
last week occurred on the West side of Baltimore County. My client,
who is a 40 year old father of 3 with a college degree and various
professional licenses to protect, was accused of growing 6
marijuana plants in his back yard. Unfortunately, Maryland law does
not differentiate between manufacturing controlled dangerous
substances for personal use and manufacturing for the purpose of
distribution. Any manufacturing activity, including the growing of
just one or a ...
Suppression Hearings - Make Sure you have a Plan B in the Event that the Motion is Denied
Since I have been doing this Baltimore Maryland Criminal
attorney/lawyer blog I have often been chided by my friends on the
other side of the aisle (This is for you Joey D.) for only blogging
about the cases that I win. So, in an attempt to show a little
balance and humility, I will discuss a case that I lost the other
day in this posting. The real reason I do this is to illustrate the
point that a good criminal defense attorney always has a Plan B no
matter how strong a case he believes he has. In other words, even
in cases that I am confident that I will prevail, I always consider
the possibility that we will lose and think about how to minimize
the damage to the client if that should occur. I had just such a
case this week in Baltimore County Circuit Court. My client was
charged wi...
