Young people can be charged with a wide range of crimes as a juvenile or as an adult. Regardless of the level of offense, it is important to take these cases seriously and address them as soon as possible in order to minimize the negative impact it may have on the individual's future. The younger the alleged offender, the longer that conviction will stay with you.
If you are facing charges as a college student or a juvenile, or have a child that is facing charges, trust your case to me, attorney Gary W. Wiessner. I am an experienced and dedicated criminal defense lawyer who represents the rights of college students and juveniles.
You are Innocent Until Proven Guilty

When assessing the case, I look for all potential defenses, including any Constitutional violations committed by law enforcement during a search or seizure of evidence. Juvenile crime and other offenses can lead to serious punishments. I help my clients protect their rights and pursue a resolution to the matter that is in their best interests.
I confidently handle a wide range of issues for juveniles and college students, including:
- Using a fake ID
- Drug possession (marijuana and others)
- Drug sales and drug dealing
- Assault
- Theft
- Shoplifting
- Vandalism
- Traffic violations
Underage Drinking
I represent clients in underage drinking, minor in possession (MIP), public intoxication, DUI/DWI (drunk driving) and other alcohol offenses for juveniles that are in college, high school, and younger. These types of offenses have specific consequences and can impact a juvenile's ability to gain employment in the future. They can also impact the ability to obtain and keep a driver's license.
Out of State Representation
In addition to helping clients located in Maryland, I am also able to represent the interests of college students whose parents live out-of-state. I communicate with these parents through email, fax, and telephone when it is necessary to involve them in the many details of the case.
