• Drug Offenses

  Did you know that probable cause is required before the police can search you or your automobile for drugs?

  Did you know a drug analysis is required before the State can prosecute you for any drug possession or distribution charge?

  The Will Davis Law Firm deals with the following drug cases:

  • CDS possession
  • CDS distribution/manufacture
  • CDS possession with intent to distribute
  • CDS trafficking
  • CDS paraphernalia
  • Maintain a common nuisance

• Assault

  Assault is a harmful or offensive touching. Did you know that you must intend to assault someone in order to be guilty? An accidental assault is just that, an accident.

• Theft Related Crimes

  Theft is taking the property of another with the intent to permanently deprive. Theft under $500 is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in jail, while theft over $500 is a felony that carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in jail. Did you know that a conviction for theft can be used against you in subsequent court proceedings?

• Domestic Violence

  Did you know that the State of Maryland picks up your case as soon as domestic battery/violence charges are filed? It is much easier to file charges on someone than it is to get them dismissed.

• Handgun Charges

  The State of Maryland is cracking down on handgun crimes. A minimum sentence of 30 days is suggested via Maryland statute for the charge of unlawful possession of a handgun. Did you know that possession of handgun in the commission of a felony carries a mandatory minimum of 5 years in prison?

• Homicide

  Criminal homicide in some cases is punishable by death or life in prison. Did you know that the unintended death of a person during the commission of a felony is considered first degree murder? Vehicular homicide, though not as serious, often leads to lengthy incarceration.
