In my opinion, Ms. Charlene Wilson is the best bankruptcy attorney in Baltimore and worth the money. I could tell she was passionate about her work from our first meeting. She understood my predicament and took me through the bankruptcy procedure from start to finish. I wholeheartedly will suggest her to everyone. Thank you so much Ms. Wilson for all that you do.

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. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and get the job done

I am writing to express my gratitude for the outstanding handling of my son's case by Dr. Manley and his team. Five plus years ago I began an effort to seek justice for my injured son in hope (in addition to financial compensation for Christopher and his siblings) that the physicians responsible for my son's injuries would be more aware of the relevant medical issues when responsible for care involving pregnancies like Christopher's. I believe Dr. Manley and his team accomplished this goal. Searching for an appropriate attorney/firm to handle Chris' case was challenging. I encountered a variety of issues. I had prominent New Hampshire based firms state that Defendants in Christopher's case "never settle cases". It is my experience as a Corporate Attorney that firms with reputations for not wanting to litigate are seldom offered attractive settlements. My perception was that many of the New Hampshire based firms appeared to have conflicts of interest having had the Defendants provide medical care to their colleagues/employees, although these firms were not always forthcoming when addressing this issue. I had a "high-powered" Massachusetts firm opine that our case was "not win-able" I eventually realized I needed to search outside New Hampshire for a firm with a reputation, financial resources, and attorneys willing to litigate every case in which it was necessary. As the old English metaphorical idiom goes, I realized I needed an "Elephant in the room" and/or "an eight-hundred-pound gorilla in the room". As I understand it, Defendants tried to bring in their own out-of-state, high-powered litigator (their "Elephant in the room") and when he was unavailable for our trial date, and the Judge had had enough of Defendants' typical delaying tactics, Defendants decided to acknowledge they were no match for our "Elephant in the room", Dr. Manley and your firm. So the reputation for Defendants in Christopher's case being unwilling to settle cases was overcome in Christopher's case. I am of the opinion that Dr. Manley's many years of experience as an actively practicing OB/GYN physician when utilized in questioning Defendants and Defendants' expert witnesses during depositions contributed significantly to Defendants' decision to make a "last minute" settlement offer. I am eternally grateful for Dr. Manley's and your firm's efforts on our children's behalf. Thank you Dr. Manley

Giles handled our wrongful death lawsuit involving our infant son. His medical expertise was a huge advantage in our case since the evidence and witnesses involved were incredibly specialized. Giles and the firm were not only excellent lawyers but they cared about our case and took a genuine interest in our needs and feelings. He communicated with us on a regular basis and included us promptly with updates and new information. Mostly, Giles was passionate and gave 110% into the case, which put our minds at ease knowing we were in such capable hands and we could trust him.

Amazing services! From my experience he went out of his way to get things handled and as quickly as possible. A weekend trip out of town turned into a two month stay In central booking with no bail and considered a flight risk. By our second court date I was on my way home! This man got up and educated the judge and the da on the law to the point they had to go over it in court, and realized at that point they no longer had a case due to an error on their side. When my case was dismissed and charges dropped the DA was not happy and said they would still be pursuing other route’s. When I made it back home the Da had already reopened new charges. I was states and states away and he put it to rest yet again. I was never charged everything was dismissed. He is definitely someone you want in your corner during a tough situation.

Ben navigated many challenges during the course of my case, overcoming each twist through a combination of experience, analysis, research and well-articulated rebuttal. Our discussions were not just absent the “wall of arrogance” that too often accompany attorney / client interactions, they occasionally included a welcome dose of humor. I would recommend Ben to anyone seeking expertise with bankruptcy law.

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.

Bob Siems and his attorney associate Yosef Kuperman helped me with a very difficult stressful GEICo auto insurance claim that had dragged on for 7 months. They listened patiently to the details, expertly analyzed my options, and gave me great advice on how to proceed. Using their advice and strategy, I was able to resolve the matter within a few days. These guys are great! They are fair, honest, reasonably priced, and are willing to represent both policy holders and insurance companies. They are true experts in the field of insurance claims and litigation. That's all they do. I would use them again in a blink. They saved me thousands of dollars and headaches. Highly recommended!

I worked for Mr. Siems as a law clerk during law school. I had a legal issue that came out of nowhere that required a lawyer to help me avoid hefty fines. Within two days of him handling the matter, the issue was resolved without fines. While his practice area usually focuses on insurance litigation, Mr. Siems was able to cut through Baltimore City's red tape with ease.

We turned to Chaim for advice on addressing our tax debt and to see if an "offer in compromise" was feasible. Chaim reviewed our financial situation and directed us to tools on the IRS website to determine if we might qualify for a reduction in our taxes. After going through those tools together, we concluded that we weren't candidates for an "offer in compromise". Throughout the process, Chaim was professional, knowledgeable, open and supportive.

It is never easy to go through a lawsuit in which medical negligence resulted in such a negative outcome for the life of a family member. Jon was compassionate and caring throughout our entire journey. he was quick to respond, usually within a couple of hours, and always had an answer for all of our questions.

I was never treated like a number but more like a cherished client. Mr. Carter is a man of great talent, patience and understanding. He will take care of you better than most lawyers in Baltimore City. I interviewed alot of them before I selected Mr. Carter.

Steve Poirier was one of the best calls I made. He took immediate attention to my situation and quickly attended to my needs. Within a day he had calmed my anxiety by putting the situation in a reasonable perspective. I was facing a slew of charges and was facing serious consequences. He filed his appearance and thru 6 court cases was in talks with the DA and Judges that reduced my charges to a minor infraction. I couldnt be happier with the outcome. I recommend calling him right away with your case as to a quicker resolution that will be in your favor. I am surely going to call Steve with all of my law related needs as I recommend you should as well.

In life we never really expect to need an attorney. When/ if that time comes like most people I was scared of what to expect, the trustworthiness, the knowledge of my specific case, how long would this take.. All of my questions were answered, and answered timely. I never felt like I was "bothering him" Nick took time to understand my point of view, understand the case, he remembered facts. Yes part of this was "his Job" but above and beyond his job was the kind tone I heard on the other end of the phone each time I called, the rapid response of answering emails . The time he took to explain the details of my case to me. Law is not my area of expertise. I was confused and uneducated at times during this process, he made sure I understood each step of the way. He let me decide how to proceed with his guidance. He explained the benefit of each possible out come of my case. I never felt forced to make a decision to get my case over with. Each time a document that we were waiting on came in, I knew it arrived. When struggles arose in the case I was made aware of that as well. When appointments were needed, example a doctor appointment, I knew why it was needed and what to expect while there. When I had to sign documentation that looked like it was in a foreign language, because it used terms I did not understand, Nick broke down every sentence when I needed him to. He never treated me as though I was just a client, or beneath him if I did not understand what was happening he and his team always took time with me . I had a clear understanding of this process. Nick and his team were educated, helpful, understanding, and patient, . The guidance they provided went above what I expected.

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.
