Criminal defense is the only work the firm takes on. Founders Max Frizalone and Luke Woods previously worked together as public defenders, handling cases that included a first-degree murder matter, and in early 2021 they worked side by side at a private firm on serious felony cases including first degree assaults, kidnapping, possession with intent, and sexual offenses. They later opened their own boutique firm to serve clients throughout Maryland, aiming to provide personal, attentive representation without the impersonal feel of a large firm. Both are trial lawyers who concentrate solely on criminal law, and when a matter falls outside that focus they refer it elsewhere rather than take it on. Their practice covers charges ranging from first offense to repeat DUIs, breath and blood tests, MVA hearings, protective and peace orders, homicide, burglary and robbery, white collar matters, felon in possession and ghost gun cases, CDS possession and distribution, drug court outcomes, and juvenile delinquency and waiver proceedings. New clients are offered in-person, virtual, and hybrid consultations.

The firm is known across Maryland for a strong reputation reflected in consistently high customer ratings and an established track record built on a large base of client reviews. Its 4.90 rating drawn from 199 reviews points to steady satisfaction among the people it has represented in criminal matters.

For clients facing criminal charges in Essex and across Maryland, FrizWoods LLC of Essex pairs former public defender experience with a practice devoted entirely to criminal trial work.
