Gary S. Bernstein

Thirty years ago, I began my own practice of criminal and drunk driving law. I was also an assistant state's attorney for Baltimore City. Because I am recognized for trying cases, my tag reads "No Plea." Most attorneys try to enter and exit court as quickly as they can. My goal is to get my clients the finest result possible. I don't wear a pall. I take care of all criminal and traffic cases at the state and federal levels, including appeals to the Court of Special Appeals and the Court of Appeals.
