Criminal & Traffic Law

Being charged with a criminal or traffic offense can be a stressful and life altering event.

Christopher Drewniak has over 35 years of experience assisting people who have been charged with criminal or traffic offenses. Thousands of clients in Anne Arundel County and throughout the State of Maryland have benefited from his zealous advocacy.

For you to have a fair trial, you will need to understand the charges against you, the rules pertaining to the admissibility of evidence, the rules of procedure applicable to the court proceedings, as well as any deadlines which may pertain to your case. Under the United States and Maryland Constitutions, as well as other laws, you have important rights including the ability to discover the evidence obtained by the prosecution, challenging the manner in which it was acquired, as well as its admissibility in court. Some of these rights must be acted upon within certain time frames or you could risk losing them.
