A past criminal charge does not always have to follow you forever. Depending on the outcome of your case, you may be eligible to have certain charges removed from your record through the expungement process. Eligible cases can include dismissed charges, not guilty verdicts, certain PBJs, stets, and some convictions, depending on Maryland law and the applicable waiting periods.

Our latest blog explains:
✔️ Which charges may qualify for expungement

💼🏡 Have You Included Your Retirement Accounts in Your Estate Plan?

For many families, IRAs, 401(k)s, and Thrift Savings Plans (TSPs) make up a significant portion of their assets—but they're often overlooked during estate planning. Because these accounts pass by beneficiary designation, they may not be distributed according to your will, making it important to keep your estate plan and retirement accounts working together.

Our latest blog explains:
✔️ How retirement accounts fit into your estate plan
✔️ Why beneficiary designations matter
✔️ Common mistakes to avoid
✔️ How proper planning can help protect your loved ones

NOT GUILTY

Today, in the Prince George’s County Circuit Court, our client walked out of the courtroom free, acquitted of murder.

Maryland law is clear: when the evidence raises self-defense, the burden falls on the State to disprove it beyond a reasonable doubt. It is not the citizen’s job to prove they were justified in protecting their own life. It is the government’s job to prove they weren’t, and to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Kathryn Batey stood next to our client through every day of this case, put the evidence of self-defense before the Court, and held the State to its burden. The Court agreed: the State could not carry it.

The presumption of innocence is not a technicality. The right to defend your own life is not a loophole. They are the foundation of our system, and they belong to every single person in it, but they are only as strong as the defense lawyer willing to stand up and demand them.

Facing serious charges in Southern Maryland or Prince George’s County? We try cases. And we win them.
