Ocean City Civil Litigation & Criminal Defense Lawyer

Legal issues, whether civil or criminal, can be stressful, intimidating, confusing, and uncertain in their impact on your future. In civil cases, your business, home, condo, or other investments may be at play or risk, jeopardizing your livelihood, rights, and peace of mind.
In criminal matters, your future may be impacted by criminal penalties, from jail or prison time, hefty fines, restrictive probation, and more. You may also face the collateral consequences of having a permanent criminal record that can impede present or future employment, professional licenses, and other opportunities, resulting in reputational and civil rights losses and strain on your family and personal relationships.
With such consequences before you, you will need a legal representative, guide, ally, and advocate who can inform, advise, and fight for you in the civil or criminal courts.
At the Law Office of Steven W. Rakow, LLC, I can be the guide and counselor you need during such difficult times. I have extensive criminal trial and civil litigation experience that can make a difference in how your case unfolds and resolves. I can bring my 27 years in legal practice, understanding of the local state, and federal courts, and fighting spirit to your case.
Contact the Law Office of Steven W. Rakow, LLC, at (443) 856-6376 to schedule a free 20-minute initial consultation with me as your Worcester County civil litigation or criminal defense attorney.

Civil & Criminal Legal Representation in Maryland
At my firm, you can benefit from my extensive background in Ohio and Maryland state and federal civil and criminal law.
From minor traffic violations to DUI and misdemeanors to major felonies such as murders, burglaries, firearms, and white-collar crime, I have handled a wide array of cases. I represent individuals and businesses in civil litigation, from simple contract disputes to construction defects litigation.
Other practice areas include basic corporate matters, contract review, and general practice matters. I have been in-house counsel to a construction company and was an appellate law clerk. I also worked as an Assistant State Attorney (prosecutor) in the Worcester County State’s Attorney’s Office from 2011 through 2015.
My background includes serving in the Marines until retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 2007. That is how I can tell my clients that my service to my country informs my service to them. I fight for optimum results.
Because of the quality of service, professionalism, dedication, and many five-star reviews I have received, Avvo awarded me with a 2019 Avvo Clients’ Choice Award.
At my firm, you will always work directly with me throughout all phases of your case. As a solo practitioner, I can offer the personalized service you rarely find at large corporate law firms. You will never be turned over to a “case manager” or junior associate.
I understand the stress of dealing with legal issues and strive to always be responsive to your needs.
If you are under investigation for a criminal offense, have already been arrested or charged, or are facing a civil issue or dispute, I urge you to book a confidential consultation with me to discuss the matter. Get your questions and concerns addressed and learn your options for resolution. Together, we can navigate the legal process of criminal defense or civil litigation matters, seeking the best possible outcome based on the facts of your case.
