When You’re Facing Criminal Charges, Everything Is On the Line

Your freedom. Your record. Your career. Your reputation.

You do not need a lawyer who is looking for a quick plea deal. You need a trial attorney who prepares every case as if it is going before a jury.

David M. McFadden, Esquire is a seasoned courtroom advocate and a published, #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling co-author. He has built his reputation on aggressive defense strategy, meticulous case preparation, and the willingness to take cases to trial when necessary.

Prosecutors know which attorneys are ready to fight and which are not. That reputation can change the trajectory of a case.

A Former Insider. A Strategic Advantage.

Before founding McFadden Law Offices, Mr. McFadden trained within the system:

• Intern at the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office
• Mediator with the Maryland Attorney General’s Office
• Law clerk in private practice

He understands how the State builds cases. More importantly, he knows how to challenge them.

Mr. McFadden is admitted in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Federal Court. He is a member of the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys’ Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the National College of DUI Defense, and the Maryland Association for Justice.

He has been recognized as a Lawyer of Distinction in Criminal Defense and was named Avvo Client’s Choice in Criminal Defense. He has completed the intensive three day NHTSA DUI Detection and Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Course.

Most importantly, he has earned hundreds of five star client reviews from people who trusted him with their future.

We defend clients charged with:

Whether your case is in District Court, Circuit Court, or Federal Court, we build your defense with one goal in mind: securing the strongest possible outcome.

Sometimes that means strategic negotiation.
Sometimes that means trial.

Either way, we are ready.
