I have litigated many cases with Dan over about the last 12 years. Dan is always well prepared with a mastery of the facts of his client's case and the governing law in addition to possessing a genuine concern for his clients. Those clients are well served with Dan at the helm of the ship. Dan treats his opposing counsel with respect and enjoys a solid reputation with the judges before whom he and I have appeared together.

For the past eight years I've dealt with Mr. Brown and his associate on several different matters. While we were on opposite sides of the cases, I always enjoyed working with Dan. He's quick to understand, state his position and willing to seek compromises to the benefit of all parties when possible. Best of all, he's usually calm and with a smile on his face. I look forward to future professional dealings with Mr. Brown, and would recommend him strongly.

Here is a fact: My family lost our loved one far too early because of a contracted illness. Another fact is that before our loved one left us, he asked Dan to tell his story so others wouldn't have to suffer in vain. Dan Brown took on this tremendous responsibility and has done so admirably. Dan has been an advocate for my loved one as well as our family. So how did he do it? The first thing that resonates with Dan is that he is experienced. What comes with that is a network of litigants, practitioners and experts that understand Dan's methodology of presentation. Secondly, Dan maintains balance through what can be an adversarial legal process. That proves invaluable when the legal system becomes arduous. Lastly, to accomplish what we asked of Dan, he had to become a part of our family. Dan's obligation to us required that he understand the value of my loved one's presence in our family. In doing so, there were countless after hour phone calls, as well as impromptu out of state visits. So before we lost our patriarch, we gained a brother. You'll find lawyers far and wide who will claim to have subject matter expertise. That very well may or may not be the case. But if and when you need an attorney who's production is unparralelled over an extensive period of time and who will present your viewpoint to the extent that you are advocated for, your risk of loss is reduced and you maximize the ability to be fairly heard, Dan Brown is clearly the choice for your needs.

Adam Frank is an immigration lawyer I would recommend to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and honest lawyer! He has provided support to my case from the J-1 waiver to get a green card. At the first consultation, Adam exhibited a profound understanding of immigration law and a genuine commitment to my case. He took the time to carefully explain the intricacies of the process, addressing all my questions with patience and clarity. He has thought strategically and has provided solutions in challenging situations for the past five years. Even after I left Maryland, he continued to work with me. He is very reliable and client-oriented. His expertise was evident as his firm navigated the complexities of immigration and legal requirements, ensuring that all documentation was meticulously prepared and submitted on time. Also, his staff was very supportive and responsive. Thanks to their dedicated efforts, my petition application was approved smoothly. I highly recommend Adam, as he is very skilled, combining legal acumen with exceptional client care!

Robb did a super job explaining how to handle my situation as far as where to pay state/DC income taxes and what filings are needed. Also, he was more concerned about making sure I was well-informed than watching the clock.

Robb Longman has represented several of my companies since 2007. He has been dedicated to ensuring we match our entrepreneurial drive with smart legal decisions in dozens of deals and arrangements with third party partners. He provides timely advice and immerses himself in how our business is operated and our overall strategy so that advice really reflects our short and long term business objectives. Beyond being professional, Robb is also very personable and easy to communicate with. I've never felt I was just a client and more like having a legal partner assisting us grow our business through good times and bad. I would highly recommend him to any business owner.

I chose this law firm (specifically Adam Moskowitz) based on a referral from my Financial Advisor at Charles Schwab. From my initial telephone conversation with Adam, I felt relaxed, very comfortable, and certain that I had made the right decision. I needed Adam and his team to put together a comprehensive Estate Plan for me...which would include my Will, a Revocable Trust Agreement, an Advance Medical Directive, and Power of Attorney. I also needed advice and guidance on a few other matters relating to my 'estate'. Once all of the documents were drawn up, I physically met with Adam and his team. Adam was extremely patient, listened to all of my concerns, and explained everything in 'basic' terms....taking as much time as I needed to review and understand the entire process and all of the legal documents that I was signing. He made me feel valued as a client. I left his office with the peace of mind that I needed. He definitely deserves 5+ Stars!!

Since my case was complicated and when I called so many attorneys, they said that either I have to change my status from H1B to F1/B1/B2 or I have to go back to my country. In those critical conditions Mr. Dimo Michailov did not only direct me in the correct direction, but also gave me an excellent recommendation. I received my Green Card, including my family members, as well. We have numerous immigration attorneys in the United States, and I have also consulted numerous, but never seen like you who helped me keeping the same priority date and just change my category. In my perception the best attorney is the one who will use all his/her expertise and make a positive suggestion and response, when the RFEs from USCIS received.

Mr. Malech thinks like a philosopher, explains clearly like a great teacher, uses warm humor, and gives an even-keeled and honest assessment of the possible scenarios. Moreover, he knows the court system inside and out. Mr. Malech's mastery of the law, solid preparation and keen attention to detail led to a great outcome. Mr. Malech and his team are responsive, respectful, and empathetic. He also moves at a fast pace to outmaneuver the other side. Take a look at his Youtube series, "Ask Lloyd."

My experience with the PA Davis Law Office has been excellent! Ms. Davis and her team provided invaluable assistance in updating a joint custody agreement while serving overseas in the military. Navigating the complexities of military service and updating a legal custody agreement could have been incredibly challenging, but Ms. Davis and her team handled it with expertise and professionalism. I had reached out to several attorneys, but due to the unique circumstances of my case and where i was stationed, they were unable to assist. Being from Maryland, I was relieved to find that the PA Davis Law Office team had the necessary expertise as they cover the DC/MD/VA area. The initial communication was a bit challenging because of the time zone difference pertaining to the update of the case, but Ms. Sofia and the team were extremely patient and understanding, which I really appreciated. I am grateful to Ms. Davis for taking on my case and to the entire team for their dedication and support throughout the process.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Frank, Mr. Delaney, and Mr. Garcia for their exceptional support and guidance throughout the submission of our I-485 applications. Thanks to their efforts, my family and I have received our green cards. Initially, I was skeptical about them, as I didn't know much about them. However, upon reaching out to them, I was impressed by their prompt and cordial responses. They went above and beyond in addressing other issues I encountered, providing assistance that I believe no other attorney could match. Their unwavering support and prompt replies throughout the process were invaluable. One standout feature of working with their small team was their consistent responsiveness; if one team member was delayed in replying, another stepped in to ensure timely communication. Working with F&D has been an outstanding experience. My sincere thanks to the entire team, and I wish them all the best.

She was always accessible by phone and email, even on weekends. She calmly explained things to me, presented many options, solutions, and she listened to all of my worries and concerns. I’ll never forget, during a particularly difficult, scary moment, even though Erin was out of town with her family, she contacted me immediately to address my situation. I always felt she was extremely knowledgeable about the most current laws, and contract composition. Although she was respectful of opposing counsel, she didn’t accept any nonsense from them, and wasn’t afraid to put them in their place. I felt confident and thankful to have Erin in my corner.

Erin was my divorce attorney through an extremely messy and contentious situation. During the entire process she was unfailingly patient with me, taking the time to explain some of the more arcane or complex parts of the process to me so that I could better understand (and be responsive to) the many requests by the Court for documents. In addition, Erin was able to rise above the acrimony of the situation and was a constant advocate for fair, negotiated approaches to closing the gap between the parties. In court, she respectfully, but forcefully pushed our positions in a way that was clear, but not antagonizing to the Judge. She is, in short, someone you would be lucky to have on your side. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Brian came to me as a highly regarded referral and I first reached out to him in the midst of a very busy holiday week. Even with that being the case, Brian returned my call immediately. I gave him a pretty tall order, which required a very quick turnaround. I requested that he review a franchise disclosure, document, as well as a franchise agreement within a very tight window of time. Not only did he execute the tasks with a very quick turnaround, but his analysis in reviewing those documents was nothing short of outstanding, I have found Brian to be very conscientious, detail oriented, results oriented and he took the time to listen - which was so important to me as his client. Again, during what was a very busy holiday week, he spent nearly 5 hours with me going through his copious notes and analysis. I would highly recommend Brian with respect to any legal matter. He is a consummate professional and I have truly appreciated his superior level of commitment to me, as his client. Without a doubt, retaining Brian was one of the best business decisions that I have made, as a franchise owner. I hope to make use of his legal services in the future because he was exactly what I needed in an attorney and he DELIVERED!

I had the pleasure of working with Brian to review my Franchise Agreement. I could not ask for a more knowledgeable, detailed and attentive attorney to go through this process with. Brian left no question unanswered and ensured that I became a franchise owner with my eyes wide open. I would recommend Brian without hesitation.

I recently engaged Brian to assist me with a franchise opportunity. I found Brian to be knowledgeable, available, and resourceful especially when reviewing my specific situation and concerns. Brian was quick to turn around documents. He always had my best interest in mind. I would certainly recommend Brian if you are considering a franchise opportunity.

In early 2020 I contacted Mr. Kelly to handle 2 cases - one nursing home and one hospital. He was honest in his assessments of my case, kept me up to date throughout the entire process, explained both the pros and cons of offers, and as my cases are now completed, I would absolutely hire him again should the need arise. I never felt pressured to take an offer, he was thorough in his explanation of the use of my money, and quite thrifty with expert service opportunities that presented themselves.

My experience with Mr. Kelly was absolutely amazing! He was so kind, informative, civilized, and polite! He was courteous, and attentive! He listens without cutting you off! He was very easy to talk with! He was very generous with his time, and his advise! He knew early on that he wouldn’t be able to take my case, but only because my situation was not within his purview, but he is just so wonderful that he’d spent at least a half hour of his very valuable time with me, a total stranger on the phone, giving me all of his best advise! At first, I thought I’d just called the wrong lawyer. Nope! He’s ABSOLUTELY the right lawyer for me! I need him on my team! I need him in my life! Hahahaha! Now, I’m just waiting to hear about ANYONE who has a nursing home abuse or neglect case! Mr. Kelly has an exceptional track record! I’ve looked him up! I’m honored to have met him! Wow!

From my initial interaction with Counselor Hamelburg's assistant, Debbie, I found the experience with this firm to exceed my expectations in every way. Facing a challenging situation, I felt a genuine concern from the team, who acted swiftly to reassure me of my rights and alleviate my worries. While I anticipated a professional approach, their genuine care and support were evident, allowing me to feel at ease throughout the process. A notable example of their commitment occurred during a critical phase of negotiations when Jamie Hamelburg personally reached out to me on a Saturday morning. Both Debbie and Jamie consistently demonstrated responsiveness to my emails and calls, providing timely updates on developments as they unfolded.

After an auto accident I got Mr Berman's number from my brother. Their legal team immediately went to work. They got my car fully repaired, placed me in a rental while the work was being done, made sure that I got all the medical treatment I needed, and got me a check. They handled everything every step of the way, and always made sure to keep me informed of what was going on. If you need an injury lawyer, this is the team you want. I can't thank them enough (especially Josh), for the tremendous work.

After researching several attorneys I hired Regina as my lawyer to help with my divorce. I chose her for her experience, candor, and reputation as a family-oriented lawyer. I received all that and more. Regina is sensible and assertive while also being empathetic. She is an excellent communicator. I was well informed of my progress and what was required of me -- and only to the extent needed so my costs were not run up. She worked hard to achieve the best outcome for myself and my child(ren) while being professional and efficient. I was very happy with my decision. I couldn't have asked for anything more from Regina.

When first meeting Regina it was initially to create a pre-nuptial agreement, never thinking we would meet again to handle divorce proceedings. The prenuptial agreement was done timely, accurately and her advice was very exacting. When the separation/divorce was imminent she was not only a most knowledgeable legal representative but kind and emotionally available. Never did I expect to be navigated through such a most difficult time in my life with such caring. With Regina representing me I felt confident that my best interests were being taken care of and would highly recommend her.

Victoria worked tirelessly on our IRS case. It wasn't even an audit but the IRS was treating it as if it were. We spent one year working through the issues that the IRS created. We did make some mistakes and had to make concessions, but Victoria gave us great advice. She kept us informed every step of the way and held the agent and management accountable. They threw out documented proof of our write-offs. Don't go it alone. Victoria will work hard for you. She will fight to protect your rights. She will not let the IRS take advantage of you.

It required a clear-eyed legal strategy, challenging negotiation, management of egos, and a well-tuned balance between the legal objective and a cost-effective business approach. At every stage of the discussion, Jack provided just the right guidance to get us where we needed to go. He's got a first class head for business and the law.

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

I searched for a decent lawyer, and low and behold I found a good one. Christina has great knowledge of the law system, she's very easy to talk with, and she is very organized.

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.
