Why Choose A Criminal Defense Lawyer In Upper Marlboro, Maryland?

Analytical Upper Marlboro Assault Defense Lawyers

The best kind of criminal defense, we have found, is no defense at all. Instead of creating our own case, with our own evidence and testimony, we focus on taking the prosecution’s case apart. We make careful analysis of the case the state is making, and we identify gaps, contradictions and implausible pieces. Very often, when you pull these threads away, the case falls apart.

That’s the way we handle all cases at the Law Offices of Thomas C. Mooney. We prod and we poke, and look for weaknesses. In every case we try, whether it is murder one or driving under the influence, we seek to weaken the sense of certainty that you committed the crime you are charged with.

Many hundreds of our clients are better off because we represented them at a crucial moment in their lives. Our attorneys look forward to representing you with the same aggressiveness and intelligence.
