About F.

F. Spencer Gordon graduated “Order of the Coif” from the University of Maryland School of Law in 1986. Following a judicial clerkship, he worked for four years as a Litigation Associate in the law firm of White ford, Taylor & Preston, handling mostly personal injury cases. He left the firm in 1991 to gain criminal law experience as an Assistant Public Defender, and now handles a strong mix of Criminal and Personal Injury cases.

While Mr. Gordon’s experience makes him equally adept at handling both criminal and civil matters, he has staked his reputation primarily through his relentless defense of those charged with criminal offenses. Few criminal defense attorneys can say they have won more cases than they have lost, but Mr. Gordon has done just that, obtaining numerous acquittals in serious felony cases in state courts throughout Maryland. He has won outright acquittals on behalf of four separate clients charged with Murder. Another, against whom the State sought the death penalty, was convicted only of Second Degree Murder, making her ineligible for a sentence of death. In a recent murder case in Anne Arundel County, he developed alibi evidence so persuasive that prosecutors dropped all charges against his client, and his artful negotiation skills helped convince prosecutors in Baltimore County to drop their attempt to seek the death penalty in yet another case.

Mr. Gordon has also won acquittals for clients charged with Rape, Armed Robbery, Burglary, First and Second Degree Assault and numerous other offenses. Indeed, few, if any, criminal defense attorneys can lay claim to a similar success rate when it comes to obtaining excellent results for their clients.
