“Ms. Pinder called my son by his name, never his case number. Before each hearing she told him who would be in the room and where to sit, so the room didn’t scare him.”

Criminal defense in Baltimore
Charged, and still presumed innocent
We are three defense lawyers who take drug charges, federal cases, juvenile cases and old records that need clearing. We explain every step in plain words, to you and to whoever is sitting beside you.
From clients
What clients wanted the next family to hear
“I had never been in trouble and was sure I’d lose my job. Mr. Lusane put every date on one sheet of paper for me, and when I called with a question, he called back.”
Terrence W.Federal case
“An old charge kept costing me apartments. Paulina pulled my whole record, told me which parts could come off, and phoned me the day the judge signed the order.”
Alma S.Record clearing
Shared with each client’s permission. Every case is different, and how theirs ended doesn’t predict how yours will.
Our clients
The people we stood beside
Clients who agreed to share a picture of the life their case was about. We never put the charge next to the face.
