Maryland Criminal Defense Attorney

Focused Legal Defense. Direct Attorney Access.

When your freedom, record, and future are at risk, you need clear guidance and steady advocacy. This is not the time for guesswork or delay.

My name is Howard Greenberg. I earned my degree in Natural Sciences from Johns Hopkins University, worked as a software engineer in Hunt Valley, and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Baltimore School of Law. Since 1995, I have represented individuals across Maryland facing serious criminal charges. My practice is built on preparation, precision, and personal involvement in every case I take.

Practice Areas

Criminal charges move quickly. Early legal action can shape outcomes. I provide strategic defense in the following areas.

Criminal Defense

You will understand what to expect, what decisions matter most, and how your case will proceed. From investigation through resolution, your defense is handled with focus and continuity.

I cannot say enough about the exceptional representation Attorney Howard Greenberg, Esq. provided to my son. From the very beginning, Mr. Greenberg demonstrated an impressive level of knowledge, professionalism, dedication, and genuine commitment to his client. What stood out most was his persistence and attention to detail. He took the time to thoroughly understand the case, diligently gathered evidence and pertinent information, and made sure no important detail was overlooked. His knowledge of criminal defense and his ability to navigate the complexities of the case gave us confidence that my son had an attorney who was truly fighting for him. Communication was another area where Mr. Greenberg exceeded our expectations. He remained in consistent contact with both my son, who was his client, and me throughout the process. Calls and questions were answered promptly, and he made sure we understood what was happening and what to expect. During an incredibly stressful and uncertain time for our family, that level of accessibility and communication was invaluable. Most importantly, Attorney Greenberg proved himself to be honest, trustworthy, professional, and dependable. He did not make empty promises or tell us what we wanted to hear. He was straightforward, knowledgeable, and committed to doing the work necessary to properly represent his client. When someone's freedom, future, and reputation are at stake, choosing the right criminal defense attorney is an extremely important decision. Based on our experience, I am truly grateful that Attorney Howard Greenberg represented my son. His dedication, persistence, professionalism, and integrity made a lasting impression on our family. I highly recommend Attorney Howard Greenberg, Esq. to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, responsive, trustworthy, and dedicated criminal defense attorney. He is an attorney who takes his responsibility to his clients seriously and genuinely puts in the work to advocate for them.

Howard was more than just a lawyer. He was a friend to talk to very forward and to the front with everything he will tell you how it is and he will tell you how it will go. He’s a great person, friendly, kind, compassionate, and he understands where the client is coming from.

Howard Greenberg is the best attorney I have ever dealt with. From the first call he was locked in, every call and text was returned without hesitation and he always kept me informed every step of the way. He spent significant time with me in his office, went through my entire timeline and had me fully prepared for trial. He knew exactly which statutes to cite and which cases to reference and the moment he got in front of the opposing attorney, they had no answer. Case dismissed! His knowledge of the law and familiarity with the judges in this county is on another level. Attorneys like him are incredibly rare and he has earned my trust for life. Professionally and personally he is the only attorney I will ever call. Thank you Howard!

I absolutely recommend Howard as he really puts every effort in his cases! He works with you every step of the way. He is affordable, not greedy and gets things done. I would definitely use him again (hopefully would never have to though! LOL) But this man is always a call or text away, would check on me in the process and won my case with ease.
