Brown & Barron is an aggressive and effective law firm. You can trust they will always have their client's best interests in mind. Our attorney, Christopher Casciano, is very personable, knowledgeable and works hard for his clients. He always kept us up to date on what was going on and was available anytime we had a question. I would highly recommend Mr. Casciano and the Brown & Barron team.

Mr. Casciano worked tiresly to fight for me during my malpractice case. He always kept me up to date on what was going on and was available whenever I had a question. He even gave me his personal cellphone number in case he wasn't in the office when I had a question. Mr. Casciano is extremely personable, professional and takes the time to understand his clients. No stone was left unturned regarding my case and I owe it all to his hard work, dedication and thoroughness. I would highly recommend Mr. Casciano.

My name is Kenneth Bryant, and I recently engaged the services of Avara Law LLC. I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on a highly sensitive case for my business. Right from our first conversation, the communication was clear and I found myself receiving frequent emails that required my prompt attention. Collaborating with Jennifer, we meticulously pieced together an offer letter for settlement. After a year-long battle, the settlement was finalized, and I am immensely grateful for the relief it has brought me.

I have been working with Jennifer for quite a while, during this period, I find myself very fortunate to be able to find such a wonderful person who has a high level of dedication and attention to detail in a professional context in her professional works. Jennifer is extremely dedicated and sets high standards for her work. Even though my situation is quite complex, she handles it with great patience and a step-by-step approach, solving problems and offering help in a highly professional manner. In working with Jennifer, I've come to realize that she stands out from others. Because most will tell you the best-case scenarios that you want to hear and plan accordingly but might constantly ignore the long-term potential risk factors. However, Jennifer is different; she would bring up the potential risks and the right thing to do that might not have crossed one's mind. Although these discussions can sometimes be unexpected, Jennifer never hesitates to give her professional opinions and perspectives. She prioritizes long-term accountability and assistance to her clients over providing a temporary pleasing outcome that could ignore significant risks and lead to future problems. This approach is not only rare but also highly valuable and admirable. For me, it was also very educational since I have learned a lot from her. I think anyone who manages to become a long-term client of Jennifer’s is truly lucky. The real value of someone assisting us isn’t just only in completing specific tasks or requirements, but also in providing long-term responsibility, care for the clients, and extra insights and solutions that we hadn’t thought of. She offers advice and support that help us prevent potential future risks, which allows us to relax and move forward with confidence and security, freeing us to dedicate our attention to other areas. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the chance to work with Jennifer. I highly recommend her for her exceptional work qualities, invaluable skills, and dedication

After reviewing multiple criminal lawyers, and doing as much research on law I could handle, I finally took one of my friends recommendation and trusted Derek to fight my case. Due to my profession it was critical I had the right lawyer fighting for me. This is the best move I could have made as Derek provided me with an outstanding result. He also communicated with me in an understanding manner, Derek put the time into the case and was definitely skilled in his profession. Everyone seemed to know that he wasn’t the run of the mill guy when we walked into court, even the judge. The entire process was handled in a top shelf manner. Regardless of how embarrassed and ashamed I was to be in my situation, Derek did not judge me and actually helped ease my anxiety. Thanks to him I was given a second chance. Thank you for helping me get through a really hard time in my life!

Derek is an amazing lawyer I have used him for 4 of my cases because apparently I’m one who has to learn the hard way. But honestly he actually takes the time to get to know you and connect with you on a personal level. There isn’t anything negative to be said about him. He goes above and beyond when it comes to his job there isn’t another lawyer out there like this guy he is one of a kind.

Derek is an awesome lawyer and someone who I would consider a friend, not because because he takes your case personal, but he gets to know you just as much as you get to know him. Derek did a phenomenal job handling my case and I could talk to him anytime especially after business hours. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire time and was straight forward with my options and even made me feel comfortable if I didn't take a plea agreement. I truly feel that he was in it for my best interest and not his own gain. What a stand up guy.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Arnold after dealing with a prior attorney who just wasn't working out for me. I researched lawyers and felt that after reviews, Mr.Arnold was an attorney that I was looking for to help me with my parent's Will. I must say, the decision was right! From the first visit in his office to the last, I was treated most professionally and had things explained with much knowledge in a way I could understand. Communication was open the entire time! There were a few bumpy roads along the way within the Will, but Mr.Arnold and his staff were right on top of things. I could have never accomplished an end to these issues without them. There were a few times when the longer office hours were also much appreciated. I can't say thank you enough to him for taking on this case. It was a little hard to find trust after dealing with the first attorney, however the office of Donald Arnold brought back that trust I needed in an attorney. I highly recommend his office and will be using him for personal reasons of my own in the near future.

I am beyond happy with the expert services provided by Mrs. Jackson. She informed me of my options in obtaining the quickest consensual divorce possible, and she worked extremely hard to make it happen. At our initial meeting I informed Mrs Jackson that I did not want this process to be hostile or labored. We went in with a game plan and no matter how nasty and hostile the opposing counsel became, Mrs Jackson kept her composure and displayed that she was a knowledgeable professional. The way she handled herself throughout all the contact with the opposing side as well as in the courtroom said that she is a confident, knowledgeable, practitioner. I was very satisfied with how she handled my case. I will recommend her expertise and services to whomever finds themselves in this unfortunate situation.

I was impressed by her low key, knowledgeable, and quietly self-assured manner. Subsequently, my wife and I hired her to counsel us regarding and to prepare wills, durable powers of attorney, advanced medical directives, and to establish revokable living trusts for both of us. Anne was always patient, courteous, efficient and clear in her advice. Her work was thorough and continues to meet our needs. She was very open to follow-up questions and also gave us help with our move out of state. I recommend her unreservedly.

I first met Mrs. Sullivan when she presented an estate planning seminar at the federal agency I work at. Since that time I have attended three of her seminars and came away more impressed each time. She has the ability to make the complexities of estate planning easily understandable to the non-attorney. I was so impressed that my wife and I elected to use her for our estate planning. Throughout the process Mrs. Sullivan was professional, personable and very patient with our countless questions. She prepared Revokable Living Trusts, POA, wills and heath directives (basically a complete estate plan). She also prepared all the required beneficiary forms and other miscellanous documents - her attention to detail, thoroughness and communication with us were spot on. I could not be happier with the services she provided at what I thought was a very fair price. Without hesitation or reservation, she has my highest possible recommendation to anyone looking for a family law and/or estate planning attorney.

I honestly can't put to words how wonderful Alex is. I have been getting totally screwed by State Farm Insurance for a claim they obviously should have covered 8 months ago. (a contractor I hired to do work totaled my property, contractors insurance company was blowing me off, and my insurance state farm did the same) I found his firm and after i left a message on the firms voicemail, I never expected to hear back from them. Alex personally calls me back, obviously having taken a personal interest in my case & wanted to know more details. He spent the time with me to fully understand the situation, which is pretty complex, lengthy, and has a lot of players. He was clearly listening, asking the right questions, and didn't rush me at all. He wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on. Not only did Alex NOT bull-dose me with legal jargon, half-finished unclear sentences, etc.. which is what other attorneys I originally tried to talk to did, Alex showed genuine compassion for the cause: making sure people don't get screwed by these mega-insurers, like I obviously was. He told me that he wouldn't get involved in taking my money if he didn't think it would be worth it for me. He really was in this not for the money, but to make things right. Alex then quickly formulated a few potential paths forward, described the associated costs with each and outlined what he thought the best and worst outcomes from each path could be. We worked together to build a plan to help me that made sense for my situation and my budget. And we got started. After months of being alone, and getting screwed by nearly everyone I encountered in this matter, Alex made it clear he was in my court and was going to use everything in his experience to set this situation right. Then I saw a totally different side of Alex. He and his team came out the gate swinging aggressively at all the parties that had thus far been trampling me with lies, deceit, and flagrantly illegal bath faith practices. Alex leveraged his experience in the field to set me up with a very strong case with the MIA and now I am waiting for the MIA to make their decision. Regardless of what happens, I believe that Alex Brown did everything anyone could have possibly done, as well or better than anyone could have done, in the messed up situation I found myself in. I will definitely be using Alex again in the future, and I have already recommended him to my friends and family. If I have only one regret with hiring Alex Brown it is that I didn't hire him sooner and that I don't have more money to give him. You can not go wrong with Alex Brown when you need legal help with insurance issues.

On the first half hour appointment itself attorney gave me confidence. We did a second followup appointment for some more clarification. From that second appointment i was confident to proceed with attorney Aron. We were called in for interview. Attorney arranged a local attorney to cut our cost and transfer all the files to the local attorney and walk the local attorney through the case in an hour. Interview went well and within 2 months we got Green card. The whole process with attorney Aron took only 9 months to get the Green card. Do not waste time with local attorneys. One more last thing. Attorney will take only legitimate cases. So once he tell that he can take your case then from that time on wards you are on safe hands.

I hired Howard right off the bat due to his reputable background on criminal and traffic cases. My experience with Howard was more than I expected, he has ALL the good qualities you want in a lawyer. Howard Cheris got me off the charge before the scheduled court hearing. Don’t think twice, if you want great results, this is your go to guy!

I retained Howard Cheris for a complex legal matter in Montgomery County, MD. Starting with the initial consultation Howard cleared his desk and was very attentive to both my needs and my case. Although it was clear to me that Howard was a busy, successful attorney I felt like I was his most important client. As the case progressed there were numerous intricate details and positions that needed to be formed and clarified. I found Howard’s grasp of the issues and knowledge of the law to be second to none and was further impressed by his detailed preparation prior to attending court. It was kind of strange when Howard began role paying with me before the hearing but then I realized he was preparing me for possible questions that might have been asked by the judge, prosecutor or witnesses. Genius! My case went to a hearing and, needless to say, we won the case! I would not hesitate to reach out to Howard again in the future and happily refer him to friends and colleagues for cases of all flavors.

In June 2014, my 18-year old grandson, attended the Annual High School Week in Ocean City...This was his first time away from home without parents/granparents. Yes, good kid, never been in trouble, active in church and a pillar in his community. Unfortunately, he exercised poor judgment and decided to hang out with the wrong "friends" and was caught with a $20 bag of marijuana. As a result, he received 3-charges! My son hired Mr. Parolski to represent my grandson. Mr. Parolski is "very seasoned" and has a clear understanding of the BEST approach to any and ALL criminal cases. Months later, Mr. Parolski went back to the Judge to ask if the charges could be expunged because my grandson had just turned 18---like most kids got caught up in the "craziness" of High School Week without parental guidance. The Judge listened and the charges were later expunged! Mr. Parolski you are the BEST!! Your years of expertise and counsel allowed my grandson a second chance. My family is extremely grateful! Thank you.

I got a little carried away in ocean city about a year ago and ended up being pulled over twice-let go (but later charged) the first time and arrested the second. It was awful and embarrassing, but after talking to a lot of locals, I came to the conclusion that most of them use Richard during unfortunate circumstances such as these. He was a little hard to pin down on the telephone (since I don't live close) the second time around, but over all he did awesome and was very affordable. Pbj on the first and dismissal on the second. I have a record from years ago and was really worried, but all for naught because Richard is definitely superior in his practice. I will definitely recommend him to anyone in his general proximity, since I frequent there often. Thanks Richard!

Mr. Parolski defended and helped me through a few DUI's as well as some other incidents. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was always accessible, infinitely helpful. I recommended him to a co-worker, and my co-worker was also quite satisfied with the outcome of his legal woes.

Mr. Cumberland has represented my family for many years. When my husband passed suddenly, Mr. Cumberland and his staff were very responsive and supportive, holding my hand through matters I couldn't comprehend at the time. Without his expertise in the law, and his mannerisms, I could not have made it through such a difficult time, and been able to maintain my dignity. I will always be indebted to him. Mr. Cumberland has helped my family with many different areas of law: Estate Planning, DWI/DUI, Wills/Living Wills, Power of Attorney, Litigation, Family, etc.

Without the help of Ms. Jones, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had with the 5 firearms-related charges I faced. Ms. Jones took on a difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected. She worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented perfectly. She has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire process. Though we faced challenges, Ms. Jones didn’t falter. Her thorough research provided us with the pathway we needed to rise to victory & return my firearm & my firearm permits. I will only recommend Ms. Jones as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be her client and will continue to retain her for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands."

Mr. Becker helped us with setting up our business and making sure we structured our partnerships properly and advised us as to make sure we had all our bases covered. He was also there for other matters outside our business needs to help advise us with some personal legal needs as well. He has always been responsive and on top of what was needed to be done. He was always accommodating in our situation with timely deadlines and getting what needs to be completed on time and and accurately. This is not been the case with other attorneys I have used in the past.

I highly recommend working with attorney, Brian Timian, from the law firm Christian, Ashin, & Brown. He is very resourceful and knowledgable. He goes above and beyond what is expected of him. He helped with a case about seven years ago. Recently, I needed additional documentation for the case and he did not hesitate to help me out.

I received a mailing from Warth’s law firm as a form of ‘automated mail communication’. Unknown to me, I still had a outstanding judgement that I was under the impression had been satisfied. This was a petty offense and completely revenue driven by Ocean City. Upon contacting him, he educated me right away regarding my offense and suggested he’d look into ways to resolve it. Such a professional and highly responsive on a Saturday morning. If I decide to seek out his legal representation or not, I am thankful that there are still dedicated professionals out there willing to help people with their wealth of knowledge.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
