Criminal Defense lawyer David Wooten practices in both Maryland and the District of Columbia, representing clients in all types of criminal and serious traffic cases. His experience ranges from federal drug trafficking to first degree murder, with jury trial experience including: Murder, Attempted Murder, Rape, Robbery, Sexual Abuse, and Felony Assault. Mr. Wooten’s ability to convince juries to say "Not Guilty" spans many jurisdictions: 2022     Prince George’s: Kidnapping & 1st Degree Assault Stabbing Not all cases are won with juries. Mr. Wooten also knows how to convince judges to suppress illegally obtained evidence in felony drug cases, where the suppression ruling results in dismissal of all charges. One case involved suppression of 15 grams of cocaine, in a bag that was sticking out of the Defendant's pants. Another case involved an alleged confession that cocaine was hidden inside a wall, where a judge found the defendant's denial more credible than the Detective's story. Yet another case involved an illegal traffic stop that recovered a backpack full of $14,000 cash and 2 pounds of marijuana. In 2017 Mr. Wooten achieved success for a client in one of the highest profile cases in Montgomery County in decades - in the "Rockville High School Rape" case - guiding his client through a maelstrom of national media attention, including pejorative comments about his client from White House spokesman, Sean Spicer. Contrary to all expectations and hype, all rape and sex offense charges against Mr. Wooten’s client were dismissed.
