DWI Defense | Internet Crimes | Consumer Protection
As an experienced criminal defense attorney, I believe strongly in the civil and constitutional rights of individuals and the importance of helping people exercise those rights. I have practiced law in Maryland and the District of Columbia since 1999.
The primary focus of my practice, the Law Office of Michael S. Rothman, located in Rockville, Maryland, is on DWI/DUI defense, Internet and cybercrimes, and consumer protection. I am a leader in the relatively new field of Internet law.
In all my practice areas, I take a client-centered approach. I intentionally limit the size of my practice in order to provide the personal service, attention to detail, legal guidance, and skillful representation my clients demand and deserve.
