Combatting Drug Allegations: Protecting Your Rights in Maryland and Washington, D.C.


Facing drug-related charges can be one of the most stressful experiences in your life. A conviction for possession, sale, or distribution can affect your career, your record, and your freedom. At The Law Office of Michael S. Rothman, we provide aggressive and strategic representation for clients throughout Maryland and Washington, D.C., defending against charges ranging from simple possession to large-scale distribution. Our goal is simple — to protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome for your case.


Experienced, Aggressive, and Committed Legal Defense

Attorney Mike Rothman brings decades of experience and a deep understanding of criminal law to every drug case. Known for his precision, commitment, and personalized advocacy, he fights tirelessly for individuals accused of drug-related crimes including:

  • Marijuana possession

  • Possession of drug paraphernalia

  • Simple possession

  • Sale, distribution, or manufacturing of drugs

  • Cocaine, crack, ecstasy, and methamphetamine charges

  • Controlled substances and medical marijuana cases


Drug investigations often involve constitutional issues like illegal searches, improper warrants, or violations of your rights. Mike Rothman carefully examines every detail of your arrest and evidence to uncover weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and ensure that your rights are protected at every stage.


Medical Marijuana in Maryland: The Good and the Bad

While Maryland legalized medical marijuana in 2003, the law remains complex. Possession of marijuana — even for medical purposes — can still lead to criminal charges if you do not meet the state’s strict regulatory guidelines.


Convictions can carry fines up to $1,000, up to one year in jail, or both. Unfortunately, even legitimate medical need may not prevent a court from entering a finding of guilt. That’s why it’s essential to work with an attorney who understands how to navigate these evolving laws and protect patients and citizens alike.

Whether you are accused of a minor possession charge or a major trafficking offense, we take your case seriously.
