Margaret is like MJ G.O.A.T!!! I’m not just saying that because she got my charges dropped I’m saying that because when your backed in the corner she comes up with things that will make you say WHAT!!! She stays in touch at all times and gives her personal phone number out just in case. She doesn’t blow smoke up your ass just to get your money she tells you the truth and reality of your situation!! That says a lot about Margaret’s character. I would suggest to anyone looking for someone to trust and have your back 100% look no further call her it’s your best chance. I love you Margaret mead

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was charged and held "without bail" along with 5 others. And though the charges were "trumped-up"...I thought I would never be with my family again nor see the light of day! Retaining Margaret Mead was the best decision I could have made at this precarious time. Margaret Mead rescued me and represented me for my Bail Review. Though the State tried to paint the worst picture of me and recommend I still be held without bail, Margaret Mead had me released in hours. The others charged were not so fortunate. I owe a great debt to Margaret. I am free this morning writing this review - at home. "Thank you Margaret" - both of you! Margaret Mead is reliable, professional and knowledgeable. She has a "Kennedy - Like" presence about herself. Call her today. Her partner, Brandon Mead was an important role in assisting as well. "Thank you Brandon".

There’s seriously no one who’s a match for Mead. She’s intelligent, proficient, direct and extremely knowledgeable. If you’re seeking an attorney who will coddle you and rock you to sleep with a barrage of calls and unnecessary emails, keep looking. If you want someone who’s highly capable, fully qualified and will get the job done, look NO further. Pricing is very fair as your freedom is truly priceless. This woman saved my life, literally. She’s seriously so good, I keep her on retainer just in case. The wise choose Mead.

Ben Stirling, all I can say is Thank you!!! I was up against a large DMV car dealership that wanted to treat me a throw away with no resolution on my own.

5 star above and beyond what I could have ever imagined during a very rough period after a horrific accident, Ben Stirling not only represented me but cared for my well being when I could not do for myself. From day one meeting for the first time he made sure I was comfortable explaining the process and found a way to address any concerns I had for a good outcome. Very patient & kind. He often went out of his way assisting me when not well connecting with me if impossible when I could not get to him. He reassures you that he will try his utmost best to provide you with a high level of expertise like no other and he did not disappoint. Always on top of his game, very professional, compassionate & on time with a smile on his face. If he says it, he stands by it. Never expected what I received in compensation. The staff continued to lend a helping hand whenever possible in a friendly and caring atmosphere. I am very, very satisfied with Ben and have highly recommended he and the law firm to others. If you connect with him you won't go wrong. Look him up, check him out!!!!!!!!!

My wife and I had a very atypical CH7 case with multiple properties and other complications that, at first glance, made it look like our case wouldn't pass the presumption of abuse test. In fact, it failed when we used the supplied calculator. So going in I thought we might have to file a CH13. Doug reviewed our situation and felt confident we could file a successful CH7. He expertly navigated the issues and helped us throughout the process, including amending the paperwork more than once as the case evolved, due to a very picky Trustee. Ultimately we received our CH7 discharge and did not have to pay anything to the Trustee. We were as thrilled as two bankrupt people could be! My advice: Be prepared. Help Doug help you. Have all of your financial information together, including how much is owed to which creditor, your assets, etc. and put your income and expenses in writing (we used a spreadsheet -- like I said, complicated case).

Douglas Gorius helped me in a very difficult time. Doug's knowledge of the laws coupled with his personality and compassion for those he helps was what gave me and my family the peace of mind we finally needed. Doug took over our case at the request of the courts since our previous attorney disappeared without any notice. Doug happen to be in court the day we were scheduled for a very difficult hearing in our case. We had no representation and no contact from the attorney we had hired. Doug was in court that day for his other clients, he was known not only by the judge, but by the trustee and many within the court room. Doug saw how distraught we were and when asked by the judge, he accepted the responsibility to represent us going forward. It is hard to explain what a relief it was to have Doug on our side. Doug met with us soon after that court appearance, he quickly came up to speed with our case which was almost 4 years old and in no time had our minds at ease, all of the proper paperwork filed on our behalf and walked us through the steps to ensure our case made it through to the final discharge. Doug's knowledge of the law's pertaining to bankruptcy, his knowledge of the trustees and the court system make him one of the best in his field, in our opinion. Add to that his ability to relate to everyone and explain complex matters in such a way that you can understand them makes working with Doug very easy, even during a difficult time in your life. I recommend Douglas Gorius without hesitation or reservation. If I ever need legal guidance Douglas will be my first call.

Mr. Norman represented a member of my family in a very personal matter that could have had long range adverse consequences. From the very outset, I was impressed with his deep knowledge of the subject matter, experience, and common sense approach. He put us all at ease; we just knew that our family member was in the best of hands. Our first impressions were confirmed throughout the representation -- Mr. Norman was thoroughly prepared, both with respect to the law and in his investigation of the underlying facts; developed an appropriate strategy; and made sure that his client was always informed and in agreement with the approach being taken. Above all, I was extremely impressed by his dedication to and personal interest in our family member -- this was not an attorney simply going through the motions or painting by the numbers -- he was committed in a truly professional and personal sense to his client, to his client's well-being, and to solving his client's problems. The end result was outstanding -- the outcome exceeded expectations. As a fellow attorney, it was a pleasure to watch a true professional in action. I recommend him without hesitation.

Once Mr MacFee, accepted my case and agreed on a retainer he went straight to work. I will say my case was a long and hard, almost 3 years long one. And even as long as it was and complex, he never went up on cost. Mr. MacFee is a nice person but at the same time he is a beast in a court room. He kept me informed the whole way. And he told me what was going to happen at each turn. If I ever need a lawyer or was able to refer someone it would be Bradley.. Mr MacFee is great in my opinion. James.

On May 3, 2017 I called Brad MacFee and asked him to go and see my fiance, who at the time was incarcerated and awaiting trial on a 1st degree murder charge. Needless to say, the fact that he was facing such a serious charge and was incarcerated and away from us was causing a significant amount of stress to the family. Within a few days Brad went out and interviewed my fiance. He throughly reviewed the case using the information he had available to him at the time, which was essentially the police report and the information provided to him by his client. After the visit Brad called me, discussed with me what he had discussed during the visit and told me how much it would cost for him to handle the case. Under the circumstances I thought the fee was more than reasonable and I retained Brad to begin representation. According to the information Brad obtained, there were 2 people that claimed to be eyewitnesses to the murder. With that, Brad focused on locating those people and investigating their version of event and their credibility. In the weeks leading up to the trial, it became clear that one of the witnesses was missing and would not be found. That left a single remaining eyewitness on whom the state would have to rely to obtain a conviction. Brad located this person and met with him and his family, interviewing all of them thoroughly. As it turned out, this witness, who had previously identified my fiance in a photo lineup, claimed that he had been coerced into making that identification. He also denied even seeing the crime, but claimed that he had been arrested on a drug charge, and had been told by the police that if he cooperated with them and made the necessary identification, there would be no charges filed against him related to the drug case. On the morning trial was set to begin, the eyewitness signed an affidavit swearing to the information he had previously provided. Naturally, this fact created a major problem for the state, whose sole eyewitness had now claimed under oath that his entire involvement in the case was a sham. I assume this fact ultimately payed into the decision of the state to dismiss the charges against my fiance, thereby eliminating even the possibility that he could be convicted in this case. At the en of the day, the point is that not just anyone is capable of handling a case this serious. You need a lawyer that is willing to get out into the street and get his hands dirty in an effort to obtain every possible advantage for his client. In Baltimore City, where the murder rate is at an all-time high, prosecutors are under tremendous pressure to bring these cases to trial and win convictions. They simply do not drop these cases like they were speeding tickets. It was only because Brad was willing to go out and do what needed to be done that the state reluctantly made the decision to dismiss the charges. That said, I am very, very glad we made the decision to bring Brad MacFee in to handle this case for us, and if you ever find yourself in a similar position, I would strongly encourage you to at east talk with him before making the critical decision regarding who will represent you or your loved one.

My fiance was attacked with a knife and he did what he had to. The guy that attacked him ended up badly injured and the police arrested by fiance. He was charged with Attempted first degree murder, first degree assault, second degree assault, and assault with a deadly weapon. I immediately began searching for a lawyer that could help us. I met with numerous lawyers and spoke to many over the phone. I was referred to Bradley Macfee from a family member. At this point I was honestly so stressed over this because I couldn’t find a lawyer that was a good fit. I met with a lot of good lawyers, but I didn’t feel like they would really fight for us. I didn’t want empty promises about the outcome because that would be a lie. I wanted someone that would be ruthless and fight. I found exactly what I was searching for in Brad. He was very straight up with me and he was very down to earth. He immediately began working to try to get my fiance out of jail. Over the time that he was in jail, he went to see him numerous times. He was denied bail, so Bradley put in for a Habeas Corpus motion to get him a bail review. Due to the fact that he was on probation, we had to go in front of the judge that gave him probation. When the hearing finally came up, Brad ended up speaking with the judge prior to the start of the hearing where she told him that she was in no way going to give him a bail and that she’ll hear him out, but he isn’t going anywhere. So, since we couldn’t get a bail, we began working on the case. He was very attentive to any questions or concerns that I had. He made various efforts to talk with witnesses. He called them and even went to a bar he knew that they would be at and was there until around midnight. From very early on in this process, he was talking to the prosecutor to try to influence her to drop the case. He spoke with the prosecutor and she explained to Brad that she was unsure of what she was going to with the case. She asked him to give her two weeks and to then give her a call back. I honestly was thinking he was going to get a decent amount of jail time for this charge because of the severity of it. I met with another lawyer that told me, he was probably going to get ten years in jail. I will never ever forget October 11, 2016. I was at physical therapy and I got a call from Brad, a day earlier than he was supposed to be talking to the prosecutor. Brad said, “Are you sitting down” and I said yes. He explained to me that the prosecutor was dropping the charges completely. I immediately broke down in tears. I was uncontrollably crying and I can’t never even explain the feeling of relief and thankfulness that I felt that day. Brad then moved up the violation of probation hearing and he was able to come home the day of the hearing. I will never be able to repay Brad for what he has done for me and my family. I would recommend everyone to him. We are now currently using Brad for a child custody case.

On days when Tracey has had other obligations she will promptly return any calls that I made to her.

Jeff Kaplan is by far the best attorney!!! My husband has been in back forth custody disputes for almost 10years, and has had his fair share of different attorneys, but when Jeff became his attorney, it was a complete game changer. He worked with us even on weekends. Via texting, in person, and emailing if needed. Don’t assume that if you get an attorney through Legal Aide that you won’t get excellent results, because this clearly wasn’t the case. My husband gained full sole custody of my stepdaughter fighting a really ugly custody dispute. Jeff works a lot of different cases, but he made time to help us win our case. I would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone looking to win!

We have worked with Yale Ginsburg for almost 2 years. We are extremely pleased with his knowledge and counsel. Every step of the way he was available if we needed to speak with him.

He had all his ducks in a row and did exactly what he said he would do. He was equipped with an arsenal of contingency plans. I wasn't even called to the stand even though he prepared me for it. He was easy to talk to, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Mr. Toppe was an efficient and responsive attorney. He was consistently on top of everything and was very knowledgeable of what needed to happen and the best approach to deal with the situations that arose during our interaction. At any point that I was asking about information he wasn't clear on he would quickly get back to me with an answer and clear details explaining the situation. I appreciate all his time and focus.

Laura was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond to get a fair settlement for me. She was patient and took the time to explain the process to me. She was able to successfully negotiate with my medial insurance company to reduce the amount of reimbursement requested. I am incredibly grateful that Laura represented me and for all of the work that she did on my case.

It was great working with Laura. She is a very good lawyer. She made me feel comfortable from our first contact by phone and even more so when we finally met in person. She is very personable, but was also very honest and upfront about what to expect from my case. She kept in constant communication about what was going on and why. She did not give up and I was more than delighted with the outcome. I highly recommend her, and although I hope I won't need her services again, she would be the first lawyer I would call.

Kirk is brilliant. He protects your interests as if they were his own. I have never felt better representation. Kirk, his assistant, Carol, and his other staff are truly there for you and don't make you feel like it's a chore to do the work required. He has put other "highly recommended " lawyers to shame with his outstanding understanding of the law and his commitment to execute a plan. I would recommend Kirk Kolodner above all others.

Mr. Kolodner was retained to handle the Estate of my brother. He is highly professional, efficient and charismatic. Not only did he excel at handling an extremely difficult Estate but he remained extremely loyal to concluding it. It was an honor to observe Mr. Kolodner in the courtroom. Not only was he knowledgeable in his profession, he was extremely skillful in legal negotiations. My family will always be extremely grateful to him for his loyalty to us. My mother, who has recently passed, always admired and respected Kirk greatly and with great affection. I highly recommend his services.

I am no fan of lawyers due to my experience with some unethical ones. Eric is not one of those attorneys. He is professional, constantly present and aware of your needs. I had a frustrating tax situation with my husband and Eric was able to address my tax needs. He has worked diligently and relentlessly in resolving my problem. He is also very flexible tailoring his work to your specific tax needs based on his communications with you; Eric remains in consistent communication with his clients and has gone above and beyond to make sure I have a positive outcome. I highly recommend anyone who has tax issues to reach out to Eric and acquire his services; you will find no one better or as reasonable.

Melissa and I first began to work together because her firm was approved counsel with our EPLI carrier. Now, I would not trust any of my Maryland matters to anyone but her. She is a true colleague and took the time to learn my Company, our industry, employee training, policies so we are 99.99% always on the same page together with litigation strategies. We've worked together probably for more than 6 or 7 years.

I highly recommend Melissa (especially if the stakes are high) and would hire her again without hesitation.

I retained Melissa for several employment litigation matters and employment counsel matters when I was in-house counsel for an international corporation. She provided timely advice to me and to members of management. She also prepared for and managed an arbitration proceeding, on which we received a defense ruling. Melissa is knowledgeable on all employment matters (and has a special expertise in the areas where ADA and FMLA overlap). She had an excellent way of dealing with corporate managers, and provided real-life solutions to employment issues. Because of her common-sense approach, I would often suggest that HR Managers call her directly with difficult problems. I enjoyed working with Melissa and I have referred her to other potential clients.

From the first day we started working with Mark he was completely honest and candid about what he could or couldn't do. He also had an air about him that showed he was confident in his ability and presented his record of success but also failures. You have to be confident to be able to do this. He gave us an overview of the process to have our child placed in a private academic site. This was great because before working with Mark we had no idea of what to expect. Setting expectations was something that he does extremely well. I went to several meetings with Mark and he was always listening and asking questions which shows he was trying to get a command of his facts before speaking. There was no grandstanding involved in his approach. When he spoke it was for a purpose. When it was time for him to speak he held the room and he was direct. And when he needed to he was AGGRESSIVE, precise and fought for my son in a way that I never could have. Mark also has relationships that extended beyond our case that actually helped him to understand all parties involved and strengthen our argument. I never felt like he didn't have control of the situation. He also worked very well with the all of the therapists that were to be involved with our case. All of our therapists said they had heard of Mark and that he was good. If we had any questions, he made time to call, text, email or use any other method just to keep me calm. This made a difference. He also helped me understand there are certain things I should and shouldn't say about our son when asked by the opposing attorney. I should also point out Mark was never late and he always stayed afterwards to have frank discussions with me. In the end my son got everything he needed and more. Mark made sure everything was in writing and properly managed. He even set up a meeting that I couldn't get with the private school. I would have to rate mark as being outstanding.

My family hired Mr. Martin to represent our son in a case against the Baltimore County School system. Our son recently moved from a public school to a private school because of his learning disabilities. Although BCPS was aware of his issues, they denied him services for 2 years which resulted in our son falling two years behind in his education. After consulting with Mark about our case, we were more than confident that we had found the right attorney for this type of law suit. Mark came highly recommended to us and his past work on cases like ours only made us feel that we were definitely going in the right direction. Mark and his staff were extremely professional and efficient. Within months we were on our way to Mediation. Because of Mark, we settled at mediation and were reimbursed by Baltimore County Schools for our sons tuition. I don't think we would have had the outcome we did unless we had Mr. Martin and his office on our side. We could not ask for a better outcome or a better attorney.

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:

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

  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.

    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.
