Legal Landscape in Abingdon, MD

Established Community on Major Routes

Abingdon’s position along Route 7 (Philadelphia Road) and Route 24 (Emmorton Road) places this established Harford County community at the intersection of major commercial and commuter corridors. Our criminal defense and personal injury practice serves Abingdon residents with comprehensive legal representation in Harford County courts.

DUI Enforcement on Routes 7 and 24

DUI arrests in Abingdon occur predominantly on Route 7 and Route 24 where Harford County Sheriff’s deputies and Maryland State Police conduct regular traffic enforcement. Sobriety checkpoints appear during holiday periods on these major corridors. We defend these cases by challenging checkpoint constitutionality—were proper advance notices published? Did officers follow approved operational plans? Beyond checkpoint cases, we examine whether individual stops had reasonable suspicion, whether field sobriety tests were properly administered, and whether breathalyzer equipment was correctly maintained and calibrated.

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.

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.
