WHY YOU NEED A CRIMINAL LAWYER IN BALTIMORE
If you have been charged with a crime, your case must proceed through the justice system to seek a resolution. A prosecutor, working on behalf of the state, will attempt to show that you committed the alleged offense. Their burden is to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. They work in conjunction with law enforcement officials to gather evidence to support their arguments.
If the prosecutor meets their burden, you can be facing severe punishments. The penalties for offenses such as kidnapping, assault, DUI, domestic violence, and sex crimes include, but are not limited to, jail or prison time, fines, probation, rehabilitation programs, parole, and/or loss of driving privileges. Additionally, a conviction will show up on your criminal record, which can make it hard for you to qualify for certain opportunities, such as employment, professional licensing, or government benefits.
Trying to handle your case on your own or with the help of an experienced lawyer can be challenging. The Maryland criminal justice system consists of various rules concerning appropriate conduct throughout the process. One misstep or a failure to fully understand the laws can adversely impact the outcome of your case.
That is why it is crucial to have a skilled Baltimore criminal defense lawyer on your side. Attorneys receive years of schooling, learning about the judicial process and honing their skills. They know how to address the court, introduce evidence, and question witnesses. Most importantly, they know how to fight charges.
At Scheuerman Law, LLC, our defense lawyers can competently handle your case. Although the system may seem stacked against you, we can level the playing field. One of our attorneys interned at the Missouri Attorney General’s office and another is a former prosecutor. All the members of our team have significant experience defending the accused.

Criminal Defense FAQs
What Should I Do if I Have Been Arrested or Detained?
If you are ever arrested, one of the most important things to remember is that you have the right to remain silent under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. You also have the right to a lawyer under the Sixth Amendment. Politely state that you will not answer any questions, make any kind of statement, or sign anything until you have met with an attorney. Avoid saying anything else—this includes excuses or explanations of any kind. As soon as you are able, call Scheuerman Law, LLC. Our criminal defense lawyers in Baltimore will provide the personalized attention you deserve.
I'm Innocent! Do I Still Need an Attorney?
The unfortunate truth is that innocent people are accused of crimes all the time, and the entities prosecuting those crimes have nearly unlimited resources at their disposal to build cases. If they are successful in convincing a judge of your guilt, you could face life-altering consequences. It is extremely important to have strong legal representation throughout the duration of your case to ensure that the evidence proving your innocence is brought to light.
How Will Your Law Firm Handle My Case?
To get a complete understanding of the case and the events leading up to your arrest, we rely not only on what is included in the prosecutor's file, but also on what you have to say. Your voice will be heard at our firm, and we will develop a defense strategy tailored for your specific situation. Throughout your case, we will deliver the compassionate counsel you need, remaining sensitive to the challenges you are facing during this difficult and stressful experience. At the same time, we will also aggressively fight for you, fiercely challenging the prosecution's allegations against you.
