For over 34 years, Rockville criminal defense attorney Thomas L. Heeney has litigated criminal law issues. Mr. Heeney began his criminal law career as an Assistant State's Attorney following his graduation from Emory University Law School and his subsequent judicial clerkship with the Honorable David L. Cahoon, of the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland. For over 32 years, Mr. Heeney has successfully defended citizens accused of a wide variety of criminal offenses, felonies, misdemeanors, and traffic related offenses such as Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI).
Criminal defense is truly in Thomas Heeney's blood. He learned at the knee of his father and law partner, the late Robert C. Heeney, who was a past President of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) and the leader of that organization's 1975 successful pro bono defense of the Sioux Indians in their protest occupation of the Wounded Knee reservation in South Dakota. Robert C. Heeney is the namesake of the memorial award still given annually by both the NACDL and the Maryland State Bar Association's Criminal Law Section, for lifetime outstanding achievement and professionalism in the criminal practice.
