I’m so glad I chose Josephia Law. I’ve been in divorce proceedings for over a year now. And every step of the way the people at Josephia Law have been prompt, professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. The attorney on my case is Massa Massaquoi-King. I’m lucky to have her on my case. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. She’s also very attentive, I don’t have to explain things more than once and she will let me know the best way we should proceed. Not only is she great at her job, she really cares. Up until recently, my wife was not allowing me to take my son to see my family without her. Recently at the merits hearing for my divorce case, Massa displayed her knowledge and experience in that courtroom. The judge gave an order so that I can spend more time with my son on a schedule. Coincidentally, outside the courtroom my 3 year old son was waiting for us to finish. I picked him up and my son and I both thanked Massa because it was going to be the first time he was going to be able to spend with me and my side of the family for the weekend. It was an emotional moment for all 3 of us outside that courtroom. If you feel you have been taken advantage of or feel helpless in your situation and need someone to fight for you, I’d call Josephia Law.

DON'T GET SCAMMED! Before I signed on with this firm I talked to Ms Rouse and explained my financial situation. She assured me that I wouldn't have to constantly dump money into my trust (which was a lie). After giving them 10k with no results, they droped me because I couldn't afford to give them $2500 for an upcoming court date. I went with another lawyer who handled my case for $1500 with excellent results. When my new lawyer reviewed what was previously done, he found several documents were filed incorrectly and I was charged each time they had to resubmit them. Mass King is a joke! She showed up to a virtual hearing looking very unkept (with 6 month old box braids). I was embarrassed. There were several reviews about how this firm takes people money and literally drop them right before court. I wonder why you can't see them anymore......

I hired Patrick Seidel to take over my case just before the trial date, and I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise and dedication. From the start, he was professional, straightforward, and highly strategic in his approach. The State’s Attorney was adamant about the original plea deal, but Patrick didn’t settle—he worked relentlessly to negotiate a much better outcome than my previous attorney had secured. His deep knowledge of the law, sharp negotiation skills, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. If you need an attorney who will fight for the best possible result, I highly recommend Patrick Seidel.

Do not call this company for your personal injury lawyer. Today marks a year that I have my injury to my leg and it still has not been resolved. I have not been in physical rehab in 7 months. They do not have any lawyers in the area. They sent me to two different law firms because they did not have a lawyer. The law firm that I am with is so trifling. I have not her back from the lawyer or his assistant but once in a year I have been calling and sending text messages every month. I meant to say sending emails. This is horrible. This is trifling. I have no idea what's going on and it's been a year and I want this over and done with. If I am in this boat. I do not want anybody else to get in the same boat that I am with this lawyer company. They do not care about your needs and care about you. They just want to take your money and not give you anything

I had an excellent experience working with Charlene for my bankruptcy case. From the very beginning, she demonstrated an impressive understanding of bankruptcy law, guiding me through every step with clarity and patience. She explained the legal process in a way that was easy to understand, which really helped ease my concerns. Charlene communication was top-notch. Whenever I had a question or needed clarification, she was quick to respond, either by phone or email. I never felt left in the dark about my case, and they made sure I knew exactly what was happening at all times. What stood out the most was the personalized attention I received. Charlene made me feel like more than just another case. She truly cared about my situation and was committed to helping me get the best possible outcome. During such a stressful time, Charlene professionalism and empathy were invaluable. Everything was handled in a timely and efficient manner, and I am beyond satisfied with the results. My debts were successfully discharged, and I now feel like I can start fresh financially. I cannot recommend Charlene enough for anyone needing help with bankruptcy.

I cannot recommend Sharif Silmi highly enough for their outstanding work in securing my EB1A visa approval under the business category. From the very beginning, Silmi demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB1A requirements through lens of business value and crafted a strategic approach tailored tomy unique case. What stood out most was his ability to think critically and strategically. They meticulously analyzed my professional achievements and business contributions, identifying the strongest evidence to build a compelling case. Their attention to detail and thorough preparation ensured that every aspect of my application was flawless. Throughout the process, Silmi & Sima was incredibly responsive, professional, and supportive. They patiently addressed all my questions and concerns, making what could have been a stressful experience seamless. Thanks to Silmi law's expertise and strategic approach, my EB1A petition was approved without any issues. If you’re looking for an attorney who combines deep legal knowledge with a results-driven strategy, Silmi is the best choice.

Embarking on the EB1A route is no small endeavor. The application process demands not only a detailed and comprehensive petition, but also an in-depth understanding of U.S. Immigration law and a well-articulated presentation of the applicant’s extraordinary achievements. I recently had the privilegeof working with Mr. Sharif Silmi and his phenomenal team—namely, Meerim, Maryrod, and Marylaine—to secure an approval for my EB1A petition. Before I found Silmi Law, I had spent countless hours researching the intricacies of EB1A requirements. I read about the need for strong evidence, recommendation letters from prominent figures in my field, extensive documentation of accolades, and a narrative that would compellingly show my contributions and future prospects in the United States. Even though I came into the initial consultation with a fairly robust understanding of the EB1A criteria, I knew I would need expert guidance to present my qualifications in the most persuasive manner possible. Within minutes of our very first meeting, it was clear that Mr. Sharif had a profound understanding of the EB1A category. He asked me targeted, incisive questions about my background, my achievements, and my future aspirations. He was transparent about the challenges we might face, as well as the strengths of my case. In discussing timelines, strategies, and possible roadblocks, he exuded a calm confidence—reassuring me that although the EB1A process can be rigorous, I was in highly capable hands. From the very first consultation to the triumphant moment my petition was approved in under ten business days, the entire journey was nothing short of outstanding. The service I received was part of a “white glove” package, and while it was indeed on the expensive side, I can unequivocally say it was worth every penny. The expertise, dedication, and personalized care I experienced set a gold standard for what I believe legal representation should be. One of the aspects that truly impressed me was the Sharif’s meticulous approach to creating and following a comprehensive roadmap for my EB1A petition. In our first substantive meeting after the initial consultation, he presented me with a detailed outline of what the coming months would look like. What I appreciated even more was how this roadmap was not just a theoretical exercise. It served as a living, breathing document that guided our collaboration. What truly impressed me was how they seized every opportunity to transform a potentially modest achievement into a powerful piece of evidence by carefully contextualizing it. They taught me that success in an EB1A petition often lies in the details—the ability to show not just that you have accomplished something, but also why it matters and how it aligns with the statutory criteria for extraordinary ability.As we neared the final submission date, Sharif and his team kicked their meticulousness into high gear. It was time to assemble every piece of documentation in a way that was both logically organized and visually clear. Since EB1A petitions can often reach hundreds of pages, it’s crucial to ensure that each document is labeled, indexed, and tabbed for easy reference.Once everything was verified, the petition was shipped off to USCIS. Although it might sound trivial, the confidence I felt at that point was overwhelming. I had zero doubt that we had presented the best possible version of my case.Thank you for your patience, your brilliance, and your dedication to your clients. I will be forever grateful for everything you did to make my EB1A dream a reality. This chapter of my life has ended in celebration, but its lessons and the gratitude I feel will remain with me always.

STAY AWAY FROM ANY FIRM THAT EMPLOYS KELLY KILROY! She knew she was going to be disbarred and still took our case. We lost huge amount of money because of missed opportunities.

After suffering an unfortunate car accident in January 2021, I ended up having to need a lawyer to help my case. I originally started out with another law firm, whom I shall not name, but I will say that, had it not been for Greenberg Law, I don't think I would have ANY peace of mind or any satisfaction with my accident case. Although my case lasted only a year, it was mentally, physically, and emotionally, a rollercoaster for me. Greenberg Law picked up the broken pieces and was able to give me another fresh start. This was my first accident where I needed a lawyer and I don't think I could have chosen a better law firm. Having the pleasure of working with Matthew Rogers, who was the attorney that handled my case, and Michelle Christian, who was the paralegal assigned, I was nothing but happy. I also had the liberty of meeting Michele Greenberg, whom is the office manager at Greenberg Law. Everyone was clear, transparent, honest, and understanding. I would like to thank EVERYONE at Greenberg Law, and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who needs their cases solved right.

On September 16, 2017, I was involved in a serious accident when I was knocked off of my bicycle by a tram which then ran over my leg. I was flown to Shock Trauma where I remained for one and a half months. In talking with other lawyers who did not want to take the case, I was referred to Mr. Larry Greenburg. He was very honest and from the beginning he told me it was going to be a difficult case to win because of Maryland’s Contributory Negligence Law. However, he and his team worked tirelessly from the beginning and guided me step by step to get the best outcome. His legal skill was impressive, but just as important was that he was supportive and truly cared about me. Mr. Greenburg was a calming and confident presence throughout the entire process, which lasted five years due to COVID. His firm is family oriented, and they were all involved in the case. Everyone involved was equally competent and professional and I always felt they would do everything they could to get to get the best result for me. Mr. Greenberg deposed many people for the case, and I was truly impressed with how thoroughly prepared and competent he was. After that I was confident that the outcome would be just and fair, which it was. Lastly, I would highly recommend the Greenburg Law Firm to anyone looking for a lawyer. They invest in their clients and are thorough in their work, going above and beyond to ensure a favorable resolution. Larry Greenberg was not only an amazing lawyer, he also became my friend.

During the years I needed Mr. Phillip Chalker expertise on three separate occasions. First, with a tenant that refused to leave the property. Secondly, was with a contract release of a shady management company. Finally, a mutual lease break with multi-tenants. Mr. Chalker's knowledge and quick action was everything I would hope for in a lawyer. All three occasions ended in my favor thanks to him. He's definitely my go to lawyer because I know I will receive focused attention and great results.

First off I had a warrant for my arrest. I contacted Craig Kadish and hired him to represent me. Within 2 days the warrant was squashed and I had a court date issued. I allegedly owed $5,000 for damages to the car that was taken. At the first appearance we made a deal that didn't require me to plead guilty, which I was very happy about. At the second and final appearance the plaintiff didn't even show up! I can't promise that Craig will make your plaintiff disappear but he sure made mine!!!!! Thanks for your help in this matter.

Mr. Kadish recently represented me in a case in Howard County (one of the tougher counties in Maryland). He assured me that he would do his best to get the favorable outcome available for the felony I was charged with. The outcome was more than expected. He lead with confidence and the charge was nolle prosequi. Speaking with him eased my anxieties and I trusted his word. I pray that I never need another lawyer but if I do he would be the first to call.

Craig M. Kadish and his entire team are truly amazing. From my initial consolation with Mr. Kadish and meeting his team, I was confident that I made the right choice to hire him for legal representation. Mr. Kadish and his team were very patient and understanding throughout the 6-month process, explaining all aspects and possible outcomes of my case, without any sugar coating or false promises, all of which I greatly appreciated. Mr. Kadish and his team were very strategic and detail oriented in preparing for each court appearance, all while keeping me informed with the logistics to help ensure I was prepared in advance. Ultimately, Mr. Kadish was amazingly successful in negotiating dismissal of all charges. I definitely recommend Craig M . Kadish to anyone needing a brilliant criminal defense attorney.

I had a unique situation where I had a tenant move out of an owner occupant property in Baltimore city. The tenant was a nightmare to deal with. Anything she could do to postpone, or take responsibility for her actions, she would do. Ian and his team worked diligently enforcing the legal side and made sure I was in the loop of every step of the process. Ian was easy to talk to, understanding, and compassionate towards my situation. Ian was very knowledgeable in this process and also helped me feel at ease with the situation I was in.

I knew I had the right counsel when I met with Mr. Millman at Luchansky Law. Not only did he get me more than I asked, but from hire to settlement it was done in a little over a month and it was handled in a practical, pragmatic, and calculated way. I've met with lots of lawyers over the years and spend a lot of time in court in my profession and it is rare to find counsel who will take practical approaches and handle cases the way Mr. Millman did for me. I look forward to continued relationships with Mr. Millman as I grow in my business.

We decided to choose him and so thankful that we did! He was always easy to get in contact with and very professional.

I walked out of court with the most favorable outcome and I’m more than pleased.

Dear Mr. Robinson, I wanted to write you a brief statement of commendation for the handling of my DUI case and for the benefit of others seeking a DUI lawyer. For the benefit of others, you WANT to hire this DUI firm! They are the BEST by far in the State of Maryland! I am a pilot and REQUIRED a favorable outcome in my DUI to not only continue driving but to continue flying. Bruce took my case and assured me that everything would be worked out successfully. He said if there is a problem in court, his firm will continue to fight for me until we get the required result. We went to District Court in Baltimore County and Mr. Robinson tried my case. He advised me ahead of time that we had an unfavorable and very harsh judge but that he would fight the case for me at trial regardless. He tried the case as promised and we did not obtain the result that I needed to continue my flying career. I was very concerned for my future and the next sequence of events to follow. Mr. Robinson assured me that this can happen with difficult judges but that he would continue to fight my case in the Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Robinson explained all the options in my very delicate and complicated situation as a pilot. Ultimately, I picked an avenue that worked best for me and Mr. Robinson's firm actually got the case EXPEDITED on the Circuit court docket and got the EXACT result that I needed, thereby protecting my future. Mr. Robinson's firm also went beyond the call of duty and dealt with Maryland's MVA as well as my out of state MVA to clear up issues there as well. The paralegal Melissa knows exactly what she is doing with various legalities and MVA situations. She gets things done! She is very knowledgeable, thorough, responsive and extremely efficient. Melissa continued to support my efforts even when I returned home out of state. She never left any of my concerns unanswered. Melissa is a very valuable part of the Robinson and Associates team. I recommend this firm to whoever is looking for a DUI lawyer because the DUI TEAM at Robinson and Associates will go the extra mile to get the job done correctly. They have a friendly and supportive staff and they do what they say they will do. If you have a lot riding on the outcome of your DUI…HIRE THIS FIRM! This is the easiest call to make for a very serious situation. I have been where you are at now! CALL NOW!!!

Sometimes you're lucky. When New York State extended the Statutte of Limitations for child sexual abuse, I had no idea how to choose a law firm for representation. I had been sexually abused from the age of 10 to the age of 15 and never thought the day would come when there would be an opportunity for legal proceedings against the responsible establishment. I launched an Internet search and was immediately introduced to Janet, Janet & Suggs. At first that didn't seem like a good choice as the abuse took place in Western New York, I live in Portland, Maine and the law firm is in Baltimore, Maryland. "Worry not," I soon discovered. The courts are not known to be expeditious and the entire ordeal took a long time. So it was a welcome quality that the legal team at JJ&S kept me abreast of various levels of progress. I am beholden to Andrew Janet and could not have chosen a better lawyer to oversee and conduct the litigation that led to our victory. It cannot go without mention that Andrew has a legal assistant, Ross Campbell, who is knowledgeable, quick, assuring, thorough, and great to talk to on the phone. Yes we did! We won!

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.
