Jack is an outstanding attorney with deep experience in business and real estate. His rich knowledge of commercial law, strong business acumen, and keen understanding of individual motivations in each engagement are impressive. I've observed his skill set first hand in Jack's real estate (as lessee) and business (general corporate matters and transactions) work on our behalf. He keeps the key objectives squarely in focus yet ensures the necessary details are addressed. I have no hesitation in recommending Jack.

Jack Garson is a pleasure to work with. He is a great listener and understands the key points of an issue quickly. I found the whole process to be very efficient, and we ended up with an excellent product.

21 Nov, 2017 by Bill

Among a number of matters that Jack has sorted out for us, one was particularly difficult. It involved a complex and unpleasant dismissal of a key employee. It required a clear-eyed legal strategy, challenging negotiation, management of egos, and a well-tuned balance between the legal objective and a cost-effective business approach. At every stage of the discussion, Jack provided just the right guidance to get us where we needed to go. He's got a first class head for business and the law.

He is highly intelligent, very responsive and easy to talk and helped me with legal matters and advised me when dealing with my case. He takes a great interest in his clients and knowledgeable and professional attorney.

20 Jan, 2020 by Jignesh

Dan is the most ethical, knowledgeable and professional attorney. My wife and I are forever grateful to him for representing, supporting and guiding us through an extremely complex construction case. Dan has in depth knowledge about construction and all the issues related to it. He fought our case like it was his case from day one. Dan is patient, approachable, calculated, listens to his clients’ needs and strategizes his plan of action in the most thoughtful manner. From the day we met, he put us at ease, and we had his undivided attention through the end. He responded to our texts and emails almost immediately, and it’s his personal attention, care, dedication, intelligence that helped us through this case and situation. Dan is an expert in his field and is priced reasonable compared to other big firm attorneys we met. We met few other attorneys at large firms prior to meeting with Dan and they were not only expensive, they also stated the case would be handled by associate attorneys till it goes to trial. The resilience with which he litigates and makes an argument in the court room is compelling. We went through a three-day court hearing and the judge ruled in our favor on all counts. The truth and honesty is what Dan abides by not only in the court room but in his day to day life. He is an inspiration and a role model. We are truly blessed to know Dan and Madelon and are forever grateful for representing our case; our gratitude is beyond words. We cherish our relationship with Dan and feel that he is now part of our family as we have got to know him at a professional and personal level. Thank you, Dan, you are truly phenomenal! We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Mr. Dan Willard represented me in a complex case which garnered a favorable outcome. He is highly intelligent, very responsive and easy to talk to. The nightmares have ended and our prayers were answered. Thank you Dan for getting us results. I would highly recommend his law offices!

I would recommend Tracey to anyone, Tracey is kind, courteous, knowledgeable in her fields of law and a truly reliable professional.

18 Jan, 2017 by Chereen

Tracey was the only person who got my husband help when he was left to sit/sleep in a lazyboy waiting for workmans comp surgery for his back pain and herniated disc for 3 months. She got him into surgery earlier and got everything rushed through and he finally got pain relief he was desperately searching for.

04 Jan, 2017 by Paul

After battling Workers Comp for over a year I threw my hands up and said I cant do this on my own. Tracey was referred to me by a co-worker. After a personal one-on-one meeting with Tracey I knew she would be the advocate I needed to guide me through the complicated Workers Comp red tape. Tracey has been wonderful as my advocate for this case. Every time Tracey is called, usually because the Workers Comp Adjuster thinks they're God, she is right there to help me. On days when Tracey has had other obligations she will promptly return any calls that I made to her. Even after almost two years of battling Workers Comp Tracey has never given up or put me on the back burner. Tracey has been there for me through the entire process and having an advocate like her on my side eased the stress of having to deal with Workers Comp.

Bern Solnik is a great lawyer and advocate for justice. He believed in me and put together a strong case. He really understands the legal system and helped me through every step of the process. The insurance company settled for an amount much larger than I thought possible. I highly recommend Mr. Solnik and would not hesitate to call on his services in the future.

27 Aug, 2013 by Anali r.

Mr. Solnik provided me with unprecedented support following several auto accidents. Mr. Solnik managed every aspect of my case including insurance claims, damages to my vehicle, rentals, medical coordination, and lost time and wages. The accidents were stressful and required physical therapy - it was such a relief not having to deal with lengthy phone calls with the insurance companies, medical bills, and paperwork. I appreciated Mr. Solnik’s services so I could focus on everything returning to normal. His Spanish skills also helped me clearly understand my case.

We retain Ms Cox and her law firm after a bad experience with a different firm. Ms Cox is very black and white ...meaning she says what needs to be said. We came into the case with Ms Cox in the last ending with very little light. Game should have been over but we are still swinging.

21 Oct, 2015 by Linda

I was very fortunate that Linda Cox of the Cox Law Group was recommendated to me. I didn't know what to expect. Ms. Cox is a people person. She was very relaxed, knowledgeable and right away she put me at ease. We went over the worksheet I filled out in detail. She was very thorough and answered all my questions. Ms. Cox puts her clients needs and concens on the forefront, she's very understanding. She offers suggestions and guides you through the process - you don't leave her office wanting. She is a true professional. Ms. Cox and her staff are wondeful people to work with. I highly recommend the COX LAW GROUP. You will not be disappointed.

I met Mrs. Cox as a referral and it was a home run. Her sincere caring and knowledge of the law made me immediately feel that I had chosen the correct legal counsel. I was happy to find a person with the knowledge and diligence to get the job done. The rapid responsiveness to my needs was really important. I would be happy to refer her again and again . In fact I have send her a referral.

I worked with Eric many times in the past and have found him to be acutely familiar with construction issues which is of paramount importance when litigating construction disputes. This is especially important when cross examining experts and fact witnesses. Other attorneys do not know when witnesses are being less than candid; but Eric does. Further, he prepares his witnesses so well that any attacks by the other side are easily handled with ease. On a particluarly difficult litigation, Eric carefully and artfully prepared the case outline and earned a very large award.

27 Mar, 2013 by Anonymous

I worked with Eric on a couple of construction claim disputes and quickly learned that he is one of the better attorneys in the construction litigation community. He gets knee deep in the details and understands the fine distinction points that are necessary to win the dispute. Further, his cross-examinations (which is where the money is earned) are very well prepared and orchestrated. Eric is a winner, and that really is all that matters.

20 Mar, 2013 by Joseph

Not only would I recommend Eric, I have recommended Eric to various business associates! First and foremost, Eric Darden is interested in finding a solution to the issue at-hand; NOT padding his bill. While compromise is generally his first inclination, he has absolutely no trepidation about vigorously pursuing litigation if that is what the situation demands. I have worked with a great number of attorneys over the past 30+ years in business and Eric' skills are unparalleled.

Katie was just the lawyer I was looking for. Competent, capable, and listened for what I needed. She gave me great legal support and made the process as easy as it can be.

17 Sep, 2019 by Jennifer

During my separation, I met with Katie multiple times on a consulting basis. She was extremely patient and helpful, explaining all the details I could expect based on different situations. I hired her to represent me during my divorce, and I am so glad I did. She not only represented my best interests, she helped me be stronger and more assertive during the process. Katie is the consummate professional. She understands the difficulties, both legal and emotional, inherent in a divorce and will patiently support you during the process. If you listen to her, you won’t go wrong.

Kelley was my second attorney in Maryland during my divorce after I had to fire my first attorney. My first experience with a family law attorney did not go well; I was very guarded after having to fire my first attorney and my expectations were not high. Kelley completely turned around this view for me. She was competent, professional, hard working, and advocated for my rights. My divorce was heading in the wrong direction and she brought this back in line for me. The court decides what is fair, but Kelley was able to craft my separation agreement into something that I felt favorable about. I definitely believe I am flourishing today, and part of that was with her help. Highly recommend her.

23 Oct, 2017 by Anne

Facing a divorce can be daunting, scary and stressful – it certainly was for me – and finding the right lawyer is absolutely crucial when you need to work out a solution that works when you find yourself in a place in life where you hardly can think straight for yourself. I consider myself very lucky to have found Kelley after a lengthy search. Trusting her to represent me in my divorce proved to be one of the best decisions I made. I would describe Kelley as a no-nonsense, straight to the point, extremely knowledgeable and professional divorce lawyer. At the same time she is a strong negotiator who finds creative solutions to hammer out agreements that work. On top of everything she has very good people skills so no matter how much I stressed she was there for me and helped me to stay in perspective – and most important not to lose my sanity! Best of all she is extremely affordable. That combined with taking care of all my worries ensured I could sleep at night knowing that I was in the best hands possible. I can’t be more grateful to have had such a wonderful professional in my corner.

02 Jun, 2017 by Jamie

No matter where you are in your search for a lawyer, add Kelley to the list of lawyers you must speak with before choosing one. She has my highest possible recommendation. From day one, she represented the very best that could be hoped for in a family lawyer. She was the fifth lawyer I spoke to, and the only one to actually listen. She was the only one to make recommendations that were focused on what I was hoping to achieve, not simply on defense. Where other lawyers were certain I would lose, her modern sensibilities quickly overcame any concerns as a single father, and her case experience and familiarity with the Anne Arundel courts allowed her to navigate the case in a way that gave me the best opportunity for success. In two court appearances, she was proactive, tenacious, and her preparation, professionalism, and deep understanding of the law won the day. She billed fairly, was a patient and engaged guide through every step, and was honest and up front about all aspects. She never lost sight of the fact I was a person, not just a client. She was considerate, responsive to time-sensitive questions and issues, and made sure I was not being taken advantage of. I consider myself fortunate to have had her represent me, and the other positive feedback that lead me to her consistently tells the same story. She is quite simply a superlative lawyer.

After 10 minutes, I knew she is a sharp, no nonsense, knowledge and she was no rookie. she handed me a plan of action, which I was trying to accomplish in months with another attorney who had 20 years of experience. Kathie listen to client and guide the client like me to a clear path. she explains all the procedures, options, facts, and take you step by step to your goal. I am so grateful to this amazing young attorney.

Morgan handled my child support case with professionalism, but better than that I felt like I had an advocate who took the time to understand what I was going through so she could give me the best advice and direction. She was effective, responsive, and proactive to keep me on track when things were time sensitive. She gave me clear expectations and options so I felt like I had open eyes and support, but I could still drive the decisions.

21 Jun, 2023 by Anonymous

I feel very fortunate that Morgan assisted me with my case. Her knowledge and direct approach allowed us to quickly review all information, explore options, and form a plan immediately. She and her office prioritized all of my concerns, and patiently addressed questions. Morgan is extremely knowledgeable and acts with integrity every step of the way. Although Meiselman, Helfant and Wills Firm previously represented me multiple times, this was my first opportunity to work with her, and I highly recommend her services.

29 Mar, 2022 by Sherhonda

Since the beginning of my divorce, I have tried to resolve so many challenges for my daughter and me. After working with several attorneys, I researched and found Meiselman Helfant & Willis. When I initially arrived at the office, I was greeted and there was NO wait. My time was respected! Throughout the entire process, I was informed and aware of everything that was to be expected of me. My questions were answered thoroughly; emails responded to promptly; phone calls answered; and everyone was always prepared and organized. Extremely pleased with the service and the outcome! Highly recommend M. Appel to support your child support and custody needs.

Before it was settled, Adam had the opposing Attorney eating out of his hand, the suit was settled and needless to say, We won overwhelmingly ....without going to Court......Great Law firm and Super Lawyer! 5 Stars all the way........

03 Jun, 2018 by Karie

Mr. Grievell represented me in my case to retrieve a sum of money that a private person, a high-ranking scientist, had siphoned out of my government pension. My opponent's lawyer was a prestigious, very expensive, experienced attorney, with a strident, confident, commanding demeanor, in and out of the Courtroom. She had won many awards and accolades from her peers, had held several prestigious Bar Association positions, and been ranked as one of the top lawyers in her field, in all of Maryland. She tried to intimidate Adam, but was unsuccessful. He has a backbone of steel. My opponent lied up to the very end of the process, but we were so well-prepared that we caught the lies and had the documentation to prove it. We won my case, without deceit, trickery, or smooth talking. My opponent had to pay me back every penny of the money he stole from me. I am very pleased with Adam's representation in my case. He has integrity.

Robin has been my lawyer for a number of years. She worked through my divorce with my very uncooperative ex with tenacity and professionalism.

12 Dec, 2016 by James

Christina played an huge role, in a life changing decision for me recently. My situation involved custody and child support issues. I've been dealing with my ex for a few years, and she was unwilling to give me joint physical custody, and even though my ex makes more money than me, she was still getting a substantial amount of money for child support from me. I searched for a decent lawyer, and low and behold I found a good one. Christina has great knowledge of the law system, she's very easy to talk with, and she is very organized. Thanks to Christina, I was awarded joint physical custody of my two daughters, and was able to obtain a peace of mind in the process. I would recommend Christina to anyone!

12 Sep, 2016 by J.scott

Christina was extremely good at orienting me regarding the overall proceedings of my case, and importantly she was able to offer the patience, support and console necessary for me to not be overwhelmed by my case. She was also extremely competent and prepared which in turn helped me organize and prepare.

I was considering filing bankruptcy and I was referred to Mr. Groh. I was extremely nervous about even meeting with him but he immediately put me at ease. He was very straightforward with me about the entire process and assured me that I was making me right decision. He gave me a list of items I needed to return to him before we could move forward and he had my case filed in exactly a week after my initial consultation. He answered any and all of my questions in much detail and within a timely manner. As many questions as I did have, he never made it seem that I was a bother. As much as I did not want to file for bankruptcy I felt like it was my only option and he made the process as smooth as it could possibly be. I was told he was the best around and I agree! I would refer him to anyone.

I used Ed Groh to file my bankruptcy case and he got in done with no headaches. He is very knowledgeable about the laws, and process. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but I will call him if I do. Highly Recommend.

16 Jun, 2016 by Brandon

I was referred to Mr. Groh by a family member who said he was an intelligent and hardworking attorney who assisted her when she needed it. I was arrested and charged with several crimes and was scared about a jail sentence or a ruined future. Mr. Groh worked behind the scenes for months before my trial and recommended several programs which would benefit me before seeing a judge. I walked into the court house the morning of trial and Mr. Groh informed me that everything had been taken care of. Three years later Mr. Groh assisted me with expunging the charges and now I have a clean slate. I don't think any of that would have been possible without him and I would recommend him to anybody in trouble with the law.
