Nobody chooses to get hurt, but if you are injured by someone else’s actions you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, missed work, medical expenses and future disability. The people who handle these claims for the insurance companies are experienced and highly trained. Their goal is to act in the best interests of the insurance company, not yours. Being represented by a lawyer experienced in this area of the law can increase your chances for a good result.   Our attorneys have represented the large national corporations and insurance companies that ordinary people must face when they find themselves injured in an accident. As your attorneys they can use that experience to get you the best possible outcome. They have worked on a broad range of cases in this area of the law – from small claims to million dollar cases – and usually there is no fee unless they obtain a verdict or settlement in the client’s favor.   We help residents of Calvert County, St. Mary’s County, and Charles County, from Prince Frederick to Lexington Park and La Plata.  Contact our office today for all of your Maryland Personal Injury Law needs.

The stakes are high if you or a loved one have been charged with a criminal offense.

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) 

In Maryland, you can be charged with a DUI if you have a .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or above on a breathalyzer test; or, even below .08 if you fail to perform satisfactorily on standard field sobriety tests.  In either case, you risk imprisonment, fines, loss of your driving privileges and the and interlock requirements. The attorneys at Ferrante & Dill can help you prepare to go before a judge or jury to get the most favorable outcome.

Traffic/MVA hearings 

A “simple” ticket isn’t always as simple as you may think. If you have an upcoming court date or administrative hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles for a moving violation, a parking ticket, a non-moving violation, or violations associated with crimes including DUI/DWI, we are here to help you understand the charges against you and the potential legal consequences. We can help you prepared and present your strongest case. 

Drug Possession and Drug Distribution Charges 

Drug possession and distribution crimes are a focus of law enforcement here in Maryland and the Courts come down hard on people involved in drug crimes. If you have been charged with a drug-related offense it is imperative that you retain counsel as early as possible to get the best possible outcome for your case. Delays can compromise your defense. We offer free initial consultations in all criminal matters. 

Theft and Burglary 

No matter the circumstances, attorneys at Ferrante & Dill will work vigorously to defend you against pending charges. We will examine the State’s case for flaws, and ensure that your rights are protected. 

Fraud 

If you’ve been charged with fraud, our criminal defense attorneys will take the time to review the evidence against you and listen to your side of the story. We will then advise you of the potential penalties if you are convicted, and work to present a strong defense on your behalf. 

Domestic violence 

Domestic violence charges can have serious impact on other areas of your life including security clearances, your career, and custody arrangements. If you’ve been accused of violence by a family member or significant other, you’ll need an advocate to minimize the charges’ impact. Ferrante and Dill attorneys are very experienced in these types of cases and there is no charge for the initial consultation. 

Assault and Battery 

Because assault and battery are fairly common crimes, it’s tempting to use the internet to seek information about your potential penalties. Don’t. The specific details of your case play an important role in the outcome. A Ferrante & Dill attorney will listen to your version of the situation and carefully prepare a defense that best suits your needs. We are experienced in representing clients charged with misdemeanors and felonies. 

Juvenile matters 

Kids occasionally make bad decisions. Sometimes those decisions result in criminal charges. In some cases, a child may even be treated as an adult under the law. As a parent, it can be terrifying trying to figure out the best way to keep your kid’s mistake from having life-long consequences. Our juvenile defense attorneys have represented many children in both the juvenile and adult systems.
