No matter what criminal charge you’re up against, we’ll make sure you don’t have to go at it alone.
DUI/DWI
We know the consequences a DUI/DWI conviction can have on you and your family. Therefore, we thoroughly assess every DUI/DWI charge to determine whether the state’s evidence can find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
We’ll then take the necessary steps to avoid a conviction where possible and mitigate any adverse consequences.
Peace and Protective Orders
Peace and protective orders are quasi-criminal matters that can have a significant impact on your personal and professional life, often carrying long-term consequences. At Baldwin, Briscoe, Steinmetz & Ohri, we carefully review every case to determine the validity of the claims and ensure your rights are fully protected. Our goal is to resolve your case favorably, whether through trial, dismissal, negotiation, or minimizing potential penalties. We are here to evaluate your case and represent you to get the best outcome possible.
Driving on a Suspended License
Many people don’t realize that driving on a revoked or Suspended License carries a minimum of 60-day or one-year jail sentence and fine. In addition, having a traffic/criminal conviction on your record can severely limit employment possibilities.
Baldwin, Briscoe, Steinmetz & Ohri can help you resolve a Driving on a Suspended License charge. In many cases, we can negotiate with the State’s Attorney to avoid a conviction, and you may not have to plead guilty to any offense.
Assault
An assault charge is a serious matter that can affect your rights, your employment, and even your freedom.
If you or a family member has been accused of assault, an experienced criminal defense attorney must handle your case appropriately. Any assault case can involve serious jail time or felony charges.
Motor Vehicle Administration Hearings
Our attorneys are very familiar with the MVA hearing procedures and Maryland transportation law. As a result, we can help you avoid losing your license in most cases. We have successfully represented many clients in MVA hearings.
Traffic Violations
Our office deals with all types of major and minor traffic violations. We can help clients successfully resolve speeding tickets, driving without insurance cases, and many other traffic violations or citations.
Theft
Our firm has years of experience defending clients from theft and robbery charges. Whether it is shoplifting, theft, or robbery, our attorneys know how to litigate to obtain the best possible result successfully.
Trespassing
If you are facing a charge of trespassing of any kind, our firm can help. Our attorneys have experience with a wide variety of trespassing cases. Speaking to one of our attorneys will help you learn more about your rights, your possible defenses, and the law that applies to trespassing charges, and we would be glad to represent you in court.
Violation of Probation/Parole
Violation of probation/parole is taken seriously by the courts. Whatever the reason the court has for charging you with violating your probation or parole, we can help you obtain a fair result and mitigate any potential punishment.
Expungements
We all make mistakes, but when that mistake results in a criminal record, it can destroy your future. In Maryland, there is a procedure by which some criminal records may be removed from public view. This is called Expungement. We can advise whether you are eligible to have charges expunged and, if you are not, whether there are steps you could take to become eligible for an Expungement.
The crimes listed here are only some of the types of cases we handle. If you don’t see a criminal matter you have been charged with mentioned in this list, we would welcome you to give our office a call and speak to someone in person. It may be that we can still offer you help.
