Types of criminal charges we defend our clients against include:

- Criminal Law

Our firm believes that everyone, no matter what the criminal charge, is constitutionally entitled to a thorough and vigorous defense. Our experience as former prosecutors is invaluable in helping clients to get that defense, because it allows us to comb through the details of the prosecution’s case, looking for legal and factual errors that can help you win an acquittal or dropped charges. We will work to have your charges dropped or reduced, get you a fair plea arrangement or win you the best possible result in a trial. Even if you feel your case is hopeless, we will work to reduce or eliminate your charges and the punishments you face. If you're facing criminal charges, you need smart, experienced Maryland criminal defense attorneys who are committed to mounting you an aggressive defense. Alpert Schreyer can give you that edge.
