Experienced Legal Protection When Everything Is on the Line

An assault or domestic violence charge in Hanover, Maryland can impact every part of your life — from your freedom and employment to your family relationships and future opportunities. These cases are often fast-moving, emotionally charged, and built on conflicting accounts. At The Law Offices of Fischer & Putzi, we bring decades of Maryland criminal defense experience to help you navigate this difficult time with clarity, strategy, and strong advocacy.


We understand what’s at stake, and we know how to fight for the best possible outcome.

Comprehensive Defense for Assault & Domestic Violence Charges in Hanover


Our attorneys represent clients facing a wide range of serious accusations, including:


  • Second-degree and first-degree assault
  • Domestic assault involving spouses, partners, or family members
  • Protective and peace order violations
  • Harassment, threats, or intimidation allegations
  • Reckless endangerment charges
  • Temporary and final protective order hearings


No matter how complex the situation feels, you have rights — and we work aggressively to defend them.

A Local, Strategic Approach to Defense


Hanover is a fast-growing community influenced by nearby BWI Airport, Arundel Mills, and Fort Meade. With increased activity also comes increased law enforcement presence. Charges can arise from misunderstandings at home, disputes that escalate, or situations where emotions override judgment.


Fischer & Putzi provides:


✔ In-Depth Knowledge of Maryland Criminal Law

We understand the specific procedures and approaches used in Anne Arundel County courts.


✔ Careful Review of All Evidence

We examine police reports, statements, video footage, and timelines to uncover inconsistencies.


✔ Personalized Case Strategy

Your story, circumstances, and goals guide our defense plan.


✔ A Commitment to Protecting Your Future

We aim for dismissals, charge reductions, alternative resolutions, or acquittals whenever possible.

The Serious Impact of Assault or Domestic Violence Charges


If convicted, you could face:


  • Jail or prison time
  • Significant fines
  • Probation
  • Loss of gun rights
  • Protective orders affecting your home and family
  • A permanent criminal record
  • Barriers to employment and security clearances


Hanover is home to many professionals who rely on security clearances or background checks. A conviction can put those careers at risk — another reason early legal representation is critical.

Protective Orders: What You Need to Know


A protective order can be issued quickly and may:


  • Require you to leave your home
  • Block contact with family members
  • Limit access to children
  • Show up on background checks


We help clients defend themselves at both temporary and final protective order hearings and prepare for court effectively.

How We Build Your Defense


We look at the complete picture, including:


  • The credibility of all parties involved
  • Whether self-defense applies
  • The accuracy of law enforcement documentation
  • Witness inconsistencies
  • Communications such as texts, emails, and call records
  • Any evidence supporting your version of events


Our team focuses on presenting a clear, compelling defense tailored to your situation.
