WELCOME TO LAW OFFICES OF WILLIAM ALDEN MCDANIEL, JR.
The Law Offices of William Alden McDaniel, Jr. handles a wide variety of litigation-related matters, including both civil and criminal cases and in state and federal courts (primarily in Maryland and D.C., but in numerous other jurisdictions as well) involving a range of substantive issues: business and corporate disputes, partnership disputes, fraud and business torts, contract actions, complex civil litigation, securities fraud and related cases, lender liability, witness tampering cases, accounting matters, partnership disputes, civil rights and other constitutional matters, and various other tort actions for both plaintiffs and defendants, including professional malpractice. The firm also represents persons and corporations in complex criminal matters, including targets and witnesses before federal and state grand juries. The firm has had an “av” rating from Martindale Hubbell from its inception.
Most of the firm's practice involves cases where fraud or similar allegations are at issue in complex matters. Although small in size, the firm usually litigates against much larger firms, and typically handles cases where thousands of documents must be collated, reviewed, analyzed, and used in the case. The cases handled by the firm often involve issues of first impression in the court in which the case is pending.
The firm tries cases in court. The firm's lawyers know how to present and protect the interests of the firm's clients in the courtroom -- and they know how to win there. As a result, the lawyers know how to conduct the pretrial stages of a case—initial motions, all phases of discovery, summary judgment—not only to win at the earliest possible stage if possible, but also to prepare the best case for trial and on appeal if need be.
Many of the firm's cases have involved intense and complicated discovery. The firm has extensive experience dealing with and litigating complex discovery issues, including issues dealing with the work-product privilege and the attorney-client privilege, electronic discovery, spoliation, and discovery abuse. The firm is committed to protecting its clients' interests in the discovery process.
The firm has been involved in a number of complicated criminal matters in federal and state courts. The firm has represented both individuals and corporations as witnesses, targets, and subjects in criminal investigations, and has represented many clients who have appeared before federal and state grand juries. The firm has experience in helping its clients in matters where issues relating to obstruction of justice, perjury, witness tampering, and related issues increase the difficulty of the case.
The firm prides itself on its committed representation of corporations and persons in difficult cases, many of which have gained national attention. The firm represents the former Commissioner of the Immigration And Naturalization Service in several terrorism related cases now pending in the Eastern District of New York and the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and in the past has represented White House officials and others in connection with various investigations during the Clinton Administration; a defendant in the Iran-Contra case; one of the Marines indicted in the Moscow spy scandal; various prominent officials allied with the Governor of Maryland in difficult litigation against city officials in Baltimore; a plaintiff in a major civil rights case against a national fraternity; and an array of corporations and private persons who found themselves engaged in high-stakes litigation in which their business, their money, and often their liberty were at risk. The firm represented officials of the White House in matters relating to the investigations conducted by Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr; a major automotive manufacturer in multi-district civil RICO litigation; numerous plaintiffs in cases involving defamation on the Internet; and both plaintiffs and defendants in public figure defamation cases.
