About Me
Prior to entering private practice in 2003, Maryland criminal defense lawyer Andrew V. Jezic served as a Maryland prosecutor for nearly eight years. During his time as a prosecutor, Mr. Jezic prosecuted some of the most serious felony cases in Montgomery and Anne Arundel counties. Now as a Maryland criminal defense lawyer, Mr. Jezic aggressively represents defendants around the state and in Washington, D.C. facing such serious charges as murder, rape and armed robbery. He has handled over 90 jury trials in his career and over 25 homicide cases.
In 2011 and 2013 Mr Jezic was selected to the very exclusive list of best criminal lawyers by Washingtonian magazine. Mr. Jezic has been recognized as a Super Lawyer from 2011-2016, an accolade that goes to only the top 5% of lawyers in Maryland.
Mr Jezic is a co-author of the widely respected book, Maryland Law of Confessions, first published in 2003 by Thompson/West and now in its eleventh edition. Mr. Jezic’s book has been cited or quoted in nine reported opinions by Maryland’s highest and intermediate appellate courts. Judge Charles E. Moylan, Jr., a scholar on Maryland criminal law, wrote in a published opinion: “The leading academic authority on confession law in Maryland is Jezic, Molony, Nolan and Woodward, Maryland Law of Confessions.”
Mr. Jezic has won many acquittals and dismissals in high-profile and serious felony cases. For a small sample of these success stories, please see the link to recent news.
In 2010, prosecutors in two separate jurisdictions dismissed the cases against Mr. Jezic’s clients, after the jury in each case had heard Mr. Jezic’s winning cross-examination of the complaining witnesses (Read Article). Remarkably, yet again in 2012, prosecutors dismissed all murder charges on the third day of a jury trial in Prince Georges County, after the Jezic team’s vigorous investigation and opening defense. Read Washington post article.
In 2015 the prosecutor in Prince George’s County dismissed another serious stabbing case on the third day of the jury trial after Mr. Jezic’s cross-examination of numerous eye witnesses.
In 2010 and 2011, Maryland criminal lawyer Andrew V. Jezic convinced judges in two separate cases to vacate his clients’ guilty pleas entered with another criminal defense lawyer, whereby both clients would have been deported after serving lengthy prison sentences. In both cases, Mr. Jezic’s clients were eventually exonerated, on the felony charges to which they had plead guilty, after jury trials and are now free of any threat of jail or deportation. In one of those cases in 2011, State v. Cuque, the jury acquitted Mr. Jezic’s client of all charges despite having viewed a videotaped confession by the client.
