If you are facing a criminal charge, you want to have an attorney who knows the system, who has extensive trial experience, and who is respected by government attorneys. A prosecutor who is up against an experienced trial lawyer who knows the criminal justice system, and who has an excellent reputation, is a prosecutor who will give serious thought to a dismissal or plea bargain. Mr. MacDonald has the criminal courtroom experience as well as the knowledge of the criminal justice system necessary to be taken seriously by the prosecutors.

As a criminal defense attorney, I handle all kinds of Maryland criminal law cases, from traffic tickets to DUI and drug crimes, and from theft to violent crimes and murder.
