Law Firm News | 2011/05/11 21:43
Rockville Maryland (Montgomery County) Attorney Wendy Satin practices Criminal Defense and Family Law. Wendy Satin brings a wealth of trial experience coupled with a calm, straightforward approach and keen legal acumen to the Law Office of Wendy Satin, PA. Wendy Satin is regarded as one of the best lawyers in the state of Maryland.

Wendy Satin brings vast trial experience and empirical knowledge to the table whether the job is big or small. All cases are “big” to the person at risk, who deserves to have someone with a thorough and realistic grasp of the judicial system helping them in their time of need.



Attorney Profile

A graduate of Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law, Ms. Satin has been practicing law in Maryland since 1991, concentrating in the areas of criminal defense and family law. Under the tutelage of the great legal mind of Senator Victor Crawford, Ms. Satin tried numerous felony criminal cases (including murder and rape cases) before she opened her own practice. She was Senator Crawford’s star pupil, and his only associate, at the time of his death. Senator Crawford’s concept of a “small town lawyer,” who cares for all individuals equally regardless of their financial standing or the public profile of their case, is a value Ms. Satin brings to her own practice.

On the criminal side, Ms. Satin has covered a huge variety of cases, including drug offenses, sex offenses, theft, fraud, arson, assault, assault with intent to maim, violations of probation, weapons charges, DUI/DWI, destruction of property, and more. On the domestic side, Ms. Satin handles everything from a simple uncontested divorce to the most complex battles involving child custody and access, income disparity and spousal support, real and personal property rights, and business valuation and ownership. Additionally, Ms. Satin drafts prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements, and separation agreements.

Ms. Satin also handles protective orders, which are a good example of how criminal and civil cases intersect. She will try the civil protective order case, the often concurrent criminal case, and then the divorce case as well. In dealing with domestic cases, Ms. Satin brings more than just book knowledge to the table. She is trained in the new method of handling family matters collaboratively.

Practice Areas

Ms. Satin represents clients in Maryland. She understands that family law and criminal cases are often stressful and can be draining emotionally, physically, and economically. That is why she is committed to finding a smooth and satisfactory resolution to your legal issue as quickly as possible.

Whether handling a divorce or representing a defendant facing misdemeanor or felony charges, Ms. Satin does not shy away from difficult cases. Ms. Satin knows that people do not like going to court, and she always tries to resolve cases, such as divorces, with as little time in court as possible. However, when necessary, she is prepared and willing to aggressively defend your interests in lengthy court battles, whether they are family, criminal or both.

Ex-Georgia bank exec to be sentenced for fraud
Court Feed News | 2011/05/11 16:06
A former Georgia bank executive who pleaded guilty to using customers and family members in a multimillion-dollar fraud conspiracy that led to his bank's downfall is scheduled to be sentenced to prison.

Randy Jones could face at least 12 years in prison on Wednesday when he is sentenced in federal court. Three others who have pleaded guilty to conspiring with Jones are also set to be sentenced.

Jones, 50, pleaded guilty in January to receiving kickbacks for real estate loans while he was an executive vice president at Community Bank & Trust, the failed Cornelia-based bank where he worked for 30 years.

The hearing started Tuesday but attorneys spent the day in court arguing over how much restitution Jones should pay and how much time he could face behind bars.


Ruling favors suspected Calif. gang members
Criminal Law Updates | 2011/05/11 13:04
Authorities in California's Orange County violated the constitutional rights of dozens of suspected gang members when they enforced a gang injunction without giving them a chance to defend themselves in court, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.

U.S. District Court Judge Valerie Baker Fairbank's ruling favors those who challenged a temporary gang injunction issued in February 2009, notifying suspected members of the Orange Varrio Cypress gang that they will be barred from associating in public, wearing gang clothing or being out late at night within a roughly 4-square-mile area of Orange.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California sued, arguing that when some 60 people challenged their inclusion in the temporary injunction prosecutors removed their names. Those people were nonetheless named in the permanent injunction.

Fairbank ruled that the action violated those people's rights to defend against allegations that they have gang affiliations. She ordered police and prosecutors not to enforce the injunction against them.


School residency arrests raise fairness questions
Legal Career News | 2011/05/11 11:06
A homeless single mother's arrest on charges she intentionally enrolled her son in the wrong school district by using her baby sitter's address is raising questions about uneven enforcement of residency rules as budget-conscious cities nationwide crack down on out-of-towners in their classrooms.

Tanya McDowell's arrest in Norwalk last month came a few months after Kelley Williams-Bolar of Akron, Ohio, was convicted of falsifying records for using her father's address to send her children to safer suburban schools.

Yet in Connecticut, Ohio and elsewhere throughout the U.S., officials acknowledge parents are routinely caught doing the same thing but rarely face criminal charges.

McDowell and Williams-Bolar are low-income black single mothers, a fact that disturbs civil rights activists who question whether they are being singled out unfairly.

McDowell returns to court Wednesday in Norwalk, where she is charged with felony larceny for allegedly stealing $15,686 of educational services by enrolling her 5-year-old in kindergarten last fall under her baby sitter's Norwalk public housing unit address. The baby sitter was later evicted.


Pa. lawmaker faces hearing on gun-related charge
Legal Career News | 2011/05/10 15:11

A Berks County judge says a Pennsylvania state senator who allegedly displayed a handgun while driving on Interstate 78 is guilty of a summary charge of disorderly conduct.

District Andrea Book convicted Sen. Bob Mensch after a hearing that lasted more than two hours.

Mensch faces a maximum $300 fine and 90 days in jail, but the prosecutor says he will not recommend jail time.

Mensch, a Montgomery County Republican, denied displaying any weapon even though state troopers who stopped him after the March 9 incident found two handguns in his vehicle. Mensch, who has a permit to carry the weapons, said the other motorist was harassing him

The other motorist, Brian Salisbury of Easton, called 911 after he says Mensch displayed the gun in the palm of his hand.



Truman schools settle whistleblower lawsuit
Court Feed News | 2011/05/10 11:13
U.S. District Judge Norman K. Moon in Lynchburg reached the opposite conclusion in a lawsuit filed by Liberty University, the conservative Christian school founded by the Rev. Jerry Falwell. Two weeks before Hudson's ruling, the 1997 appointee of President Bill Clinton ruled that the mandate is a proper exercise of congressional authority under the Commerce Clause.

The Truman School District in southern Minnesota will settle a lawsuit filed by a paraprofessional who said she was fired for being a whistleblower.

The school board voted Monday night to settle the lawsuit filed by Val Wilcox-Pesta for $80,000. The school district admits no guilt in the matter.

Wilcox-Pesta's lawsuit, filed in 2009, says she went to Principal Brian Shanks after finding marijuana in her son's pocket. Wilcox-Pesta alleged Shanks' son sold her son the drugs. Shanks' son denied the allegations.

The Fairmont Sentinel says Wilcox-Pesta went to state officials and the Minnesota Board of School Administrators because she believed there was a lack of concern by administrators and a failure to discipline students involved in the drug sale. Wilcox-Pesta was notified several months later that her position was eliminated.
