Blackford & Flohr

Divorce
Committed to excellence in his written and oral legal advocacy, Bill has received accolades from and worked with some of Maryland’s premier lawyers. Throughout his first decade as an attorney, Bill represented clients in a wide variety of legal matters, including business litigation, high-stakes divorce and family law litigation, high-profile criminal investigations and defense as well as million-dollar litigation for personal injury, wrongful death, etc. Bill has handled trial and appellate matters in Maryland federal and state courts as well as those in the District of Columbia.
Child Support
A Maryland child support payment from the non-custodial parent to the other for the monetary support of their children and family will usually be ordered by the court both during and after the divorce. The amount of child support is mandated by Maryland law. However, if your combined income exceeds $120,000, then a judge can make an individualized determination. To make sure your spouse is paying/receiving their fair share of family support owed, you can rely on our divorce attorneys’ experience.
Child Custody and Visitation
If you have a family, one of the most important concerns on your mind is “What will happen to my child(ren)?” As family members and parents ourselves, our Maryland family lawyers understand how terrifying that question is. In Maryland, Child custody is determined according to what a judge determines is in the best interest of the child and family. Here, again, you cannot afford not to have an experienced divorce lawyer. You need an experienced, passionate Maryland trial attorney to handle this delicate matter and help you and your children through this difficult aspect of divorce. More importantly, our family lawyers work to make your children and family as uninvolved as possible to avoid the long-term damage that custody battles can cause.
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
We provide Maryland divorce lawyers who will take all steps to foster what our lawyers call a “civil divorce.” If the relationship between our client and the other spouse permits, our lawyers try to achieve a healthy, respectful resolution of the issues in the divorce case in an equitable and timely manner. Interestingly, our Maryland family lawyers have actually helped clients avoid divorces without the use of a prenuptial agreement; however, in most cases, the relationships have to end in divorce for one reason or another, and our Maryland family lawyers are here to help.
Guardianship
Spousal Support
Either party in a family divorce may claim alimony, which is also called spousal support, from the other spouse. In Maryland, whether a spouse is entitled to such financial support is a decision that is based upon a great variety of factors, such as the relative, respective incomes of the parties as well as the needs and resources of the parties. The fact that one party is at fault in the Maryland family divorce case does not automatically preclude an award of alimony. There are two kinds of alimony – rehabilitative and permanent. Rehabilitative alimony, if awarded, is a payment made for a specific or limited period of time as a rehabilitative measure. This is the preferred method of alimony in Maryland. However, in more exceptional situations where a party cannot become self-supporting or the parties’ incomes will be unconscionably disparate the court may make the alimony award of indefinite, possibly permanent, duration. Spousal support determinations are complex and an attorney’s help is important to make sure your rights are protected.

Criminal Defense
Today, Chris Flohr participates in a wide variety of professional activities and serves as President of the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys Association. In addition, Chris is an adjunct professor at the University Of Maryland School Of Law, a former instructor for the National Institute For Trial Advocacy (NITA), the Anne Arundel County Bar Association, the Anne Arundel County CJCC, and the Maryland State Drug Court Planning Committee.
DUI/DWI
We believe that each case is an opportunity. Many of our clients come to us with a case that is just the tip of the iceberg. We make every effort, particularly in Criminal and DUI cases, to incorporate the services of health professionals to ensure that we help our clients as people, not just as cases.
Wrongful Death
If you or a loved one has received a personal injury or been killed by someone else’s negligence in Washington, DC, Baltimore, or Maryland, then you deserve to be compensated or made whole. Unfortunately, our Maryland personal injury lawyers cannot repair the personal injury done to our clients, but our attorneys can fight to obtain monetary compensation from the negligent parties, and the sooner you hire a lawyer, the better. Whether it be a case like lead poisoning, mesothelioma or another issue, the insurance industry’s own statistics support the claim that those who retain a personal injury lawyer to help them with their personal injury and wrongful death claims fare better than those who do not. That’s reason enough alone to seek out a good DC, Baltimore, or Maryland personal injury lawyer to help you.
Traffic Violations
Blackford & Flohr’s DUI and DWI attorneys have extensive experience handling traffic (for example, speeding, suspending license, etc.) and drunk driving related cases. Christopher Flohr and William Blackford are are capable of protecting your rights and defending these types of cases in trials throughout Anne Arundel County, Baltimore, Annapolis, Rockville and the surrounding area.
Sex Crimes
If you are being investigated for a crime in Maryland or have been arrested by a police officer, you have important rights that are easily lost without the help of an experienced defense lawyer. As criminal lawyers, Blackford & Flohr have helped innumerable clients through this process to ensure the police do not trounce upon your constitutional rights. Moreover, our lawyers have successfully provided defense for our clients in the investigation stage and helped avoid charges made against our clients. In this earliest stage, our Baltimore or Maryland criminal defense lawyer will help ensure that innocent people are not wrongly arrested and charged with crimes they did not commit. For serious charges such as rape in Maryland and Washington DC, we provide a sexual assault defense lawyer.
Robbery
Maryland is one of the toughest states for robbery, punishing those convicted with some of our country’s most severe penalties. Whether unarmed or armed robbery, it is a criminal offense carrying felony charges, the most serious type of offense. With just the threat of a weapon, a defendant can face up to 20 years behind bars.
Burglary
Theft
Misdemeanors
In cases with mounting evidence against a defendant, we research plea deals and often work with the courts to agree upon a misdemeanor charge. This is important because beyond prison, a felony conviction will have a lasting effect on your life. It will be part of your permanent record, making it difficult to find future employment. It will also strip you of constitutional rights, like the right to own firearms and the right to vote.
Drug Crimes
When your liberty and your good name are on the line in Baltimore or Maryland, you need a Maryland criminal defense lawyer with the experience, passion, and will to fight the State or Government; you need a lawyer who will do whatever it takes. If you’re in need of a criminal lawyer, the Blackford & Flohr law firm has over 10 years of experience representing clients charged with criminal charges ranging in seriousness from a speeding ticket or shoplifting to robbery, drug possession, child sexual abuse, and murder in Maryland and Federal Courts. The Blackford & Flohr law firm provides a Baltimore or Maryland criminal defense attorney for you at a moment’s notice; if you are arrested you can call our emergency telephone for a lawyer at our Severna Park, MD office 410-647-6677.
Assault
Murder
For a variety of historical reasons, these criminal defense cases are different from criminal felonies (e.g., there are technical evidentiary rules as well as the felony murder rule where the common law distinction between a “misdemeanor” and a “felony” come into play). A misdemeanor is a very serious criminal defense matter in Baltimore and Maryland, and will potentially affect your future tremendously. Call a Maryland criminal defense lawyer as soon as you find out about your charge; the earlier we get involved, the better your defense will be.
Shoplifting
Restraining Order
Domestic abuse is a quiet epidemic in Maryland. Our experienced Maryland attorneys, with the help of your local Maryland police department, will help you achieve justice and, most importantly, safety. Together we can help prevent future attacks from occurring and keep abusers away from you and your family. Every member of your household has a fundamental and statutory right to be free from all types of domestic abuse (physical assault, sexual abuse, or threats regarding the same). Without prior notice to the abuser, a victim may petition the court to obtain immediate relief, including: a temporary restraining order, a no contact order, summary eviction of the abuser from the home, use and possession of the home, custody of the children, as well as emergency financial assistance, for a short period of time, extendable for up to a year after a full hearing afforded to the other party. Accordingly, a person facing the prospect of divorce or separation in Maryland should avoid taking any action involving a household member which might be construed as abusive, whether or not so intended, as it is typically difficult to persuade a court to change the “status quo” created by an earlier domestic violence order. To be sure, Maryland courts take the problem of domestic abuse seriously and will err on the side of caution nearly every time.

Construction Litigation

He attended Loyola High School and graduated with honors from Saint Joseph’s University with a double major in Philosophy and English Literature. After college, Bill began his legal career working for the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office and some of Maryland’s best criminal defense lawyers.

Personal Injury
If you have received personal injury on the job, you need an attorney in Maryland to act quickly on your behalf to start the temporary total disability payment process and a Maryland lawyer who will help recover money for your medical expenses. The goal of a Blackford and Flohr attorney is to obtain as much compensation for your personal injury as possible for medical treatment, lost wages, and any permanent impairment that may result from an on-the-job injury. The DC, Baltimore, and Maryland Workers’ Compensation law is difficult and complex. You need a Maryland area lawyer who is passionate, experienced and who believes in your cause. Call our lawyers as soon as you are injured so that we can help you achieve justice.
Medical Malpractice
If you live in DC, Baltimore, or Maryland and require a personal injury lawyer because you have received personal injury as the result of the conduct of a medical professional or facility, such as a doctor, nurse, hospital, or clinic, we can help. Since most DC, Baltimore, and Maryland doctors are good health professionals, a poor medical outcome is not necessarily an indication of medical malpractice. However, in Maryland, Baltimore, or DC, a failure to diagnose, a misdiagnosis, an emergency room mistake, a surgical mistake, or other acts of negligence and recklessness that lead to personal injury may constitute medical malpractice to the extent that those errors indicate medical care that does not meet the high professional standards to which medical professionals and healthcare providers are held. Blackford & Flohr is a full-service Maryland, Baltimore, and DC personal injury law firm providing you a personal injury lawyer with the experience, knowledge, and resources needed to help determine if your personal injury is the result of medical malpractice, and to seek appropriate compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering if negligence has resulted in personal injury. We provide a lawyer who will thoroughly assess your personal injury case and help advise you as to your best course of legal action.
