The Law Office of Raymond F. Anthracite is a Maryland-based criminal defense law firm specializing in protecting the rights, freedom, and reputations of individuals facing criminal and traffic charges. With a practice strictly limited to defense matters, the firm stands out for its personalized attention, flat-fee structure that includes trial representation at no extra cost, and flexible availability for client emergencies.
Led by an experienced trial attorney, the firm adopts a strategic, detail-oriented approach to each case, preparing thoroughly for trial to maximize leverage in negotiations and secure favorable outcomes such as dismissals or acquittals. The practice is tailored to serve individuals accused of crimes—particularly those whose employment, security clearances, or driver’s licenses are at risk—and emphasizes urgent action for charges including DUI, assault, drug offenses, and felonies.
