Aggressively Fighting

to Protect Your Rights

The rights of a criminal defendant in Maryland often include strict time requirements in which to assert your rights. Failure to take specific actions within these time constraints in criminal cases will result in the waiver of important legal rights. Even if you believe you are guilty, an experienced attorney can be of great assistance to you in explaining your rights and the court and trial procedure. It is also important to determine whether the evidence against you has been obtained legally and what defenses you may have to the charges against you. At sentencing, an attorney can make sure that important mitigating factors are properly brought to the attention of the court and, in certain cases, seek a disposition which will keep a conviction off of your record.

If you or a loved one are facing a criminal charge, the most important thing to remember is that you are innocent until proven guilty. Regardless of the situation, the burden of proof is on the prosecution.
