Mike Rothman

I am a criminal defense attorney based in Rockville, Maryland. For over 25 years, I have worked with clients facing a wide range of charges in Maryland and the District of Columbia, handling cases in both state and federal courts. Whether it’s a serious felony or a minor traffic citation, I understand the personal and professional impact of criminal charges and the stress they bring. My goal is to help clients regain control of their lives during challenging times. My work has been acknowledged by clients through personal reviews and recognized in publications such as Maryland's Daily Record, the DC City Paper's People's Choice Awards, and Super Lawyers Magazine. I dedicate my practice entirely to criminal defense, representing clients in a variety of cases. From murder charges to traffic violations, I handle complex, multi-defendant cases and a broad spectrum of legal matters. These include assault-related charges like first- and second-degree assault, theft offenses such as shoplifting and embezzlement, drug-related crimes, white-collar offenses like fraud and theft, and serious traffic violations, including DUI, DUID, DWI, and leaving the scene of an accident. I also work on cases involving Internet crimes, such as stalking and harassment, as well as issues related to Protective Orders and Peace Orders. These are just some of the areas I address in my practice. My office is located in Rockville, Maryland, and I am available to discuss your charges, citations, or legal concerns. If you’re uncertain about your next steps, don’t wait until your options become limited. Reach out to me to discuss your situation. Understanding the charges you’re facing is essential to making informed decisions for yourself, your family, and your future. As the saying goes, “We suffer more in imagination than in reality.” Take that first step. Call me when you’re ready. My office is a judgment-free zone.
