Representing the Accused
There is no such thing as a small crime. A conviction results in immediate penalties, such as time behind bars, heavy fines and the loss of your driver's license. However, it can also negatively impact your future in other ways, preventing you from being hired for a good job, renting an apartment, obtaining a loan and even getting accepted into certain schools.
Because the stakes are high, it is important to fight the charge aggressively. At the law office of Joel W. Anders, we vigorously defend clients charged with felony and misdemeanor crimes in the state and federal courts. We represent individuals in Washington, D.C., and the nearby Maryland communities.
Experienced Criminal Defense
Our office handles criminal defense cases involving:
- DWI / DUI / traffic violations
- Drug charges
- Theft / shoplifting
- Domestic assault / violence
- Sex crimes, including sexual assault
- White collar crimes, including embezzlement, fraud and forgery
Whether this is your first interaction with the criminal justice system or you have had previous convictions, we can help. We will listen to your story without judgment and then launch an independent investigation into the charge against you. We will carefully evaluate all evidence before developing a solid defense strategy.
At Ease in the Courtroom
Joel W. Anders, our founding attorney, has 32 years of experience as a trial lawyer. He understands how the criminal justice system operates, which allows him to thoroughly prepare and confidently litigate criminal defense cases. Although we do attempt to negotiate deals when appropriate, we are prepared to fight for your rights in the courtroom.
