About
Greetings. I am the principal attorney for the Lilly Law Firm, a multi-service law practice located in Columbia, Howard County, Maryland. I've been practicing law for over 30 years and have extensive trial experience. I have successfully represented multiple men and women in a wide variety of criminal and civil matters. I primarily practice in the area of criminal and motor vehicle law defense but also handle a large number of accident cases. Our fees are highly competitive. I served as a Maryland Assistant State’s Attorney from 1992 to 1998. I prosecuted numerous felonies and misdemeanors during that time, as well as serious motor vehicle offenses (DWI/DUI, Driving While Suspended, etc.). From 1998 to 2001, I was a Maryland Assistant Attorney General in the Criminal Investigations Division. Since 2001, I've been on the defense side of the aisle with respect to criminal and motor vehicle law matters. I take great pride in providing highly personalized and effective legal representation. With thorough preparation, hard work and meticulous attention to detail, I consistently achieve outstanding results for my clients. The Lilly Law Firm handles a substantial number of personal injury cases – including auto accidents, trucking accidents, and slip and falls. We seek and achieve full compensation for damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We understand that helping our clients obtain all of the medical care they need, as well as thorough and effective medical documentation, are the keys to maximum personal injury awards – and, where possible, a full recovery. My firm also handles a substantial number of family law matters. These cases are often emotionally charged and challenging. While the firm endeavors to achieve a negotiated settlement of the issues presented by a divorce or separation, we are fully prepared to litigate if this is required. The firm offers mediation to opposing parties, often drafting separation agreements based on the terms agreed upon by the parties – avoiding the high financial and emotional costs of litigation. The firm also has expertise in estate planning. A will or trust is the best way to ensure your property and assets are passed to the people who matter most in your life. We will carefully and meticulously articulate your wishes and desires in a will or trust. It was an honor for me to serve in the U.S. Navy Reserve as both an officer and an enlisted sailor from 1988 to 2015. I was mobilized for two years immediately following the events of September 11, 2001, and also served as the Senior Policy Advisor at the Office of Naval Intelligence. The Lilly Law Firm offers substantial discounts to active duty and reserve military members, veterans, and their families.
