Strategic Advocacy From Both Sides Of The Courtroom
Attorney Gast brings a distinctive background to his practice of divorce law and criminal defense. Coming from a family of lawyers that has been serving the local community since 1950, he continues this legacy of legal service. His career began as a prosecutor before he served as in-house counsel for an Oregon construction company, handling divorce cases. He returned to Maryland in 2004 and eventually established his own firm. Today, he is licensed in Maryland and Oregon, and he is also a published author.
Attorney Gast’s diverse experiences taught him when to be aggressive and when to defend. Clients benefit from his strategic approach, which combines prosecutorial insight with tenacious advocacy in challenging legal situations. He remains accessible beyond standard office hours, providing clients with his personal cellphone number for direct contact during emergencies.
