Wrongful Death
Fraud
In an important decision on matters of Bivens liability and immunity, Kramon & Graham appellate attorneys Steve Klepper and John Bourgeois prevailed in successfully defending an Assistant Attorney General acting in service as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney against allegations of the fabrication and destruction of evidence in a criminal fraud case.
White Collar Crimes
Andrew Jay Graham: Co-founder of Kramon & Graham and one of the most highly regarded trial attorneys in Maryland, Andy has been involved in some of Maryland's most high-profile cases and jury trials. His practice focuses on matters involving complex business disputes, securities litigation, general civil litigation, professional liability, white-collar crime, trade secrets, and antitrust litigation. He is regularly retained by other lawyers and law firms in malpractice actions and grievance proceedings.
Assault
Murder
Adnan Syed was released after a judge overturned his conviction for the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee. The Appellate Court of Maryland recently reversed the ruling and ordered his original conviction reinstated. Kramon & Graham Appellate chair Steve Klepper was interviewed by Tom Hall on WYPR's Midday to answer questions about what led to the Court's decision, the legal precedents it could establish, and the potential impact it could have.
Manslaughter
Kramon & Graham attorneys represented one of six Baltimore police officers who were charged in connection with the death of Freddie Gray. The firm's client faced the most serious charges among the six officers charged. Following extensive discovery, motions, and a two-week trial, the defense team secured acquittals on all seven counts of the indictment, including second-degree murder, three manslaughter counts, assault, reckless endangerment, and misconduct in office. In this highly publicized trial, the defense team relied on the depth of its criminal defense experience, exceptional facility with complex medical issues, and extensive trial experience. By obtaining key pre-trial evidentiary rulings combined with the team’s presentation at trial, the firm succeeded in acquiring a not-guilty verdict as to all charges.
