About
Leonard Stamm wrote the book on Maryland DUI Law. He has been a practicing drunk driving, DUI, DWI, and criminal defense lawyer in the District, Circuit, and appellate courts of Maryland since 1984. Since 1991, after the death of his partner, Alan J. Goldstein, he has maintained a practice, under the name of Goldstein & Stamm, P.A., in Greenbelt, Maryland, representing individuals accused of crimes and traffic offenses in state and federal courts, primarily in Montgomery (Rockville and Silver Spring), Prince George's (Upper Marlboro and Hyattsville), Howard (Ellicott City), Anne Arundel (Annapolis and Glen Burnie), Calvert (Prince Frederick), Charles (La Plata), and St. Mary's (Leonardtown) counties. Stamm also handles cases in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Caroline (Denton), Frederick, Kent (Chestertown), Queen Anne's (Centreville), and Talbot (Easton) counties, and has handled cases inDorchester, Garrett, Harford, Washington, Wicomico, and Worcester counties. Stamm handles appeals in the Maryland appellate courts, and is admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. In early 2004, Andrea Hayduk joined the firm as an associate attorney also focusing on drunk driving, DUI, DWI, and criminal cases in the District, Circuit, and appellate courts of Maryland. In early 2008, Ms. Hayduk relocated to her home in Tennessee and was replaced by Johanna Leshner.Stamm isrecognized as an authority in the area of drunk driving defense andMotor Vehicle Administration hearings in Maryland and has lectured andwritten extensively in this area, in Maryland and around the country.He has been a speaker at and has organizednumerous continuing legal education seminars since 1986. He ispresently a Regent of the National College for DUI Defense, serving on its Amicus Committee,and is former President of the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys'Association. He also serves on the Maryland Criminal Pattern JuryInstruction Committee of the Maryland State Bar Association. He has had anumber of articles published in the Champion magazine, the magazine of theNational Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. He has been qualified as a practitioner and aninstructor in standardized field sobriety tests inaccordance with standards set forth by the International Association of Chiefsof Police (IACP) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and completed a certification class as an operator and maintenance technicianfor the Intoxilyzer 5000. He recently hosted a training seminar in the Intox EC/IR. Stamm holds a certificate of successfulcompletion for the Robert F. Borkenstein Course on "Alcohol, Drugs, andHighway Safety: Testing, Research, and Litigation" based out of IndianaUniversity at Bloomington. He is one of the few lawyers in the country to have taken a two and a half day overview of the Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) program. Martindale-Hubbell gives him an "AV" rating. He has also been listed in "Super Lawyers" and "Best Lawyers." In September 2008, the first edition of Stamm's book, Maryland DUI Law, was published by West Publishing Company. Stamm's philosophy in drunk driving (DUI/DWI) defense is that unless the State is offering a plea that is significantly better than going to trial and losing, there is no good reason to plead guilty and not go to trial. In drunk driving cases, unlike many other charges in state court, more often then not there is very little if any benefit to pleading guilty. As a result he prepares every DUI/DWI case for trial. This is different from the vast majority of other lawyers who will assume they cannot win your case and plead you guilty.

I highly recommend Leonard R Stamm, Last November I got into a single car accident and totaled my car. I received a DUI. I was scared, disorganized and afraid. In frantic, I contacted several lawyers and selected Stamm after our first phone conversavtion to represent me. He toke the time to listened to my case and gave me the confidence and reassurance I needed. He answered all my questions in layman's term. During my hearing, he knocked the case out with so much confidence and professionalism, I was so surprised. He broke the case into pieces in front of the judge and the police officer. I admire his expertise and professionalism. My advice is, don’t think twice in selecting Leonard as your representative, especially, if you have a traffic case.
Very good and informed could not have been able to get better advice any place .Mr stamm is in his profession because he loves it Best of what he does and very knowledgeable thank lenny
Lenny came highly recommended. From the initial phone consultation to trial everything went better than expected. He is well respected in the DUI world in Maryland. From DUI courses to treatment programs he was recognized and everyone knows he is the best. Listen to Lenny’s advice every step of the way. Worth every penny spent. Learn from your first mistake and never drink and drive. Just Uber. Went to trial and won. Every lawyer in the courthouse on trial day came to see Lenny work. If you ever find yourself in this unfortunate circumstance, hire Lenny! Kelly and Lenny are top notch in the field!
My case: First DUI, 9 citation including DUI and DWI (over $1000 fine) Outcome: No interlock, no fine, all charges were dropped (nolle prosequi) I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Stamm for the excellent representation during my court hearing. I had no idea what to do when I got my first DUI and had sleepless night. I called Mr. Stamm the next morning and he asked me to stop by his office. I noticed immediately he is the best lawyer when I spoke with him simply because of his knowledge (he wrote DUI book, and knew how to handle my case immediately). I also spoke with other lawyers (at least 3) before I met him, but they were not interested in my case, only interested in my money. They asked me lots of money to get me PBJ. Also, most of them didn't want to go to MVA hearing because they knew it's hard to win in this case. However, Mr. Stamm was willing to take me MVA hearing and we won. He explained to me both best scenario and worst scenario, and shared with me about the strategies for all court hearing. He was well respected in all the courtrooms and fought for me to get me the best outcome. I feel like he gave me a Christmas gift. The most important thing is that he and Kelly were available to answer all of my calls and emails (lots of my questions and concerns) VERY QUICKLY. I really appreciate that. He is very professional, knowledgeable, diligent, and kind! I would Highly RECOMMENDED Mr. Stamm for anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN, LENNY AND KELLY!!!
Lenny just got my DUI case thrown out. No court fees, no probation, no NOTHING! I walked out of court because Mr. Stamm knows his stuff! I was facing an MAB violation and blew a .10. The prosecutor was simply no match for the objections and citations that Lenny argued with. As I mentioned, this was my third charge and for the first time ever, I witnessed my money at work. Very Very pleased with the results. I personally will never be back in front of a judge again because I've been through treatment and I'm now in active recovery and no longer drink....BUT, if YOU still have an issue and you're now facing a DUI charge or more...go see Lenny! Now!
Mr. Stamm represented me in a recent DUI case. He was very professional and thorough. If you are ever in a situation with a DUI case, I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Leonard Stamm. He assured me based on the inconsistencies within my case that he would take care of me and he did. He's an excellent attorney.
We hired Lenny for our daughter's DWI and other outstanding legal matters. He delivered the best results for both cases. The outcome exceeded our expectations. He is without a doubt worth every penny we paid him. It was evident that the state's attorneys and judges had the utmost respect for him. We were recommended Lenny Stamm by a friend. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone. What a proessional and great guy
Worth every penny! If you want to sleep at night and know without a single doubt, you have the very BEST representation for your charges, LENNY is the man! There is not 1 person in the courtroom on the opposite side, who wants to see this LEGEND walk in the room! He will marvel you with his no nonsense, wit and knowledge of the law! NO one stands a chance against this guy! THANK YOU, LENNY! K. B. Maryland
I Hired Mr. Stamm to represent me on my 3rd Dui offense. He was able to have all my charges dismissed. I was very nervous to say the least but Mr Stamm gave me realistic expectations of what may happen. I knew I had the right guy when we went to court and other lawyers were asking him for advice. He is without a doubt the most knowledgable and competetant attorney you will find in Maryland. He handles every aspect of your case himself, and puts in a tremendous amount of work to get you the most favorable outcome. He doesn't simply accept the prosecutions offer but is willing to take your case to trial. I will never be able to thank Lenny enough for what he did for me. As my treatment counsler said in court after we won " Lenny is a DUI angel"
I was given Mr. Stamms contact information by a family friend who regarded him as one of the best. Boy did he live up to that expectation and more. Not only was Mr. Stamm prepared with more arguments then I could count on two hands but he was able to have all of my DUI charges completely dropped (By the smallest of loopholes, but he was quick enough to see it and exploit it). I came into this situation very confused and scared as to what the end result was going to be. But once I met Mr. Stamm I knew he was the best attorney out there. He immediately went to work the moment I got there and laid everything out very matter of fact with no BS (To some this may seem stand offish but I greatly appreciated the honesty as I knew I had screwed up and didn't need any sugar coating). I greatly appreciated all the hard work and effort Mr. Stamm provided and would definitely recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation I was.
