Silverman Thompson: Maryland’s Premier Criminal Defense Firm

Recognized Excellence

Unmatched Experience 

With over 1,000 court appearances each year, our team brings unparalleled expertise to every case. Our impressive roster includes: 

  • 10 former prosecutors 
  • 4 former Assistant U.S. Attorneys 
  • 3 former public defenders 
  • 7 adjunct law professors and a former dean of the University of Baltimore School of Law 
  • 1 retired federal judge 

We honor the legacy of our late partner, Judge Joseph Murphy, Jr., a Supreme Court of Maryland Judge and author of The Maryland Evidence Handbook

Perfect Avvo Rating: 10/10 

Strategic and Individualized Defense

At Silverman Thompson, hiring a criminal attorney means enlisting an entire team dedicated to your case. Unlike many firms, our lawyers specialize exclusively in criminal defense, utilizing their extensive backgrounds in prosecution, public defense, and legal education. 

Our attorneys are actively involved in court every day, building relationships with prosecutors, judges, and court staff to secure the best outcomes for our clients. We have extensive experience managing high-profile cases, representing clients from the former Mayor of Baltimore to a former President of the United States. 

While we take pride in our high-profile results, it’s the sensitive cases that remain out of the spotlight that our clients appreciate most. 

Commitment to Justice

Our dedication to legal excellence and client service has established us as Maryland’s leading criminal defense practice. For a free consultation, contact us or call toll-free at (800) 385-2243
