I had the privilege of being represented by Attorney Stephanie Shipley in a recent DUI case. From the start, Stephanie demonstrated exceptional dedication and legal acumen. She thoroughly investigated every detail of my case and discovered critical discrepancies in the evidence, which ultimately led to the State dropping all alcohol-related charges against me.
Stephanie's meticulous attention to detail and her ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system were instrumental in achieving this outcome. She kept me informed at every step, provided clear explanations of my options, and was always available to answer my questions. Her professionalism and commitment to her clients are truly commendable.
I highly recommend Stephanie Shipley to anyone in need of a skilled and diligent attorney. She turned what could have been a very difficult situation into a successful resolution, and I am incredibly grateful for her efforts.

Phillip and his team helped me through a long and treacherous divorce. His advice was solid. He did an excellent job preparing me for deposition and court and was an excellent lawyer! He listened to me the entire time & even read my scribbles quickly in court when my spouse was lying and was able to quickly point to evidence that my spouse was not being honest!

Tenacious, I think that’s the best way to describe Phil Cronan. I am not educated in law, I ask more questions than I should and I’m very reactionary. That said I can’t thank Phil and his team enough for putting out the fire that became my life. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help in family law. Phil took the time to make sure I was informed and explained every step so we could reach the best possible outcome. Thanks again

Mr. Cronan and his team have been my representation through a lengthy divorce and custody battle and have been nothing but superior. Philip is outstanding in the courtroom yet has been compassionate to me as a mother during these difficult times. The whole staff's attention to detail and concern for my family's well being during challenging litigation have been like no other. I am grateful for their knowledge and expertise and continually refer family and friends to the firm.

I hired Ms. Maumenee in a MD real estate transfer matter. She was timely, accurate, a pleasure to deal with and I could not have been more pleased. I would use her services again if I ever have a matter in her jurisdiction.

Ms. Whiting is a child advocate and puts her heart and soul into her clients. She represented my children during a nasty divorce case several years ago. The thing that I respected the most is her complete and utter honesty, even when it wasn't what I always wanted to hear. She listens to both sides (parents) , however, she puts the childrens needs first.

I have had Mr. Hollis as my attorney in the past for my daughter and myself. Recently, I had need of his services again, just for me. My case had been dragging on for over a year and a half. Going back to Mr. Hollis, even though I had moved off the Shore, was the best choice I made. He managed to do in a few hours what several lawyers on the Western Shore were not able to do in over a year and a half.
He listens to his clients and does everything he can to bring about a fast resolution. His knowledge of the Maryland courts is thorough, his care of his clients is always first on his mind. You could not ask for a better attorney.

I can’t say enough good things about Andrea Ross. She made my bankruptcy experience easy and smooth. I was dreading the process but she made everything so easy to keep up with and explained everything to me so that I could understand what was happening during the process. Andrea helped me get this huge burden off my chest and gave me the fresh started I needed to finally live my life debt free. You won’t regret hiring Andie as your bankruptcy lawyer.

Mrs. Shipley is the truly best. She did everything in her power to have the best possible outcome in my case and did EXACTLY that.
I was nervous as i’ve never been through anything like this before. After talking with Mrs. Shipley, she put my mind at ease through her effort and persistence in my case. She is extremely knowledgeable and highly skilled in her line of work. I’d recommend her to anyone. Honestly the best of the best.

I would 100% reccomend Ryan as an attorney. I came to him with a custody case that I thought was impossible. He went through each step with me, calm cool and collected. He answered every phone call and email in a timely matter and does not look to take advantage or over charge. Ryan is very knowledgeable and straight forward when it comes to the law. I thank him for all of his help.

On several occasions Chris has made time during the week, often on short notice, to meet and discuss an important issue I had going on. He is a great listener, able to look at all sides of an issue, and offer an intelligent, logical course of action. His expertise over the years has been invaluable in navigating each situation that has arisen.

Inadequately prepared for my court hearing. Gave incorrect facts about my case to the Judge! Did not prepare me as an experienced lawyer in this field should have. I cannot recumbent. This is a lawyer-centric firm, not client-centric. I felt unheard and diminished.

The firm was highly recommended to represent me in my divorce. My case must have been too small. In the 30 days they represented me the first outgoing letter to the opposing counsel was sent to my son’s email address. He called me and asked if I had gotten it and of course I had not. A second communication to the opposing counsel on March 23, 2023 was copied to a misspelled email address so I did not receive it. I was informed of this email on April 6, 2023 when my attorney returned my March 31, 2023 phone call and April 3, 2023 email. I could not believe that it took two weeks to find out about this misdirected email and terminated their services at the end of the phone call. Three hours later the attorney forwarded a copy of her March 23, 2023 email to my correct email to show me that she had sent me a copy on March 23. The March 23 email showed my misspelled email. I emailed my attorney back pointing out the errant email and heard nothing back until March 12 in an email to my correct email address sending the termination letter and final billing and a copy of the check for the remaining balance left of my retainer. Only one problem with the termination letter and check. ..the mailing address had the incorrect street name. Extremely unprofessional and in the end made no progress toward finalizing my divorce at a cost of over $3,700.

Showalter was recommended to me and I hired him in August 2022 to expedite the approvals to begin construction on my home on the Eastern shore. After the initial consultation where he sounded very confident that he could help me, it was next to impossible to get in touch with him. It was to the point that I was calling the office on a daily basis to try to speak with him. On the rare occasions that he did get back to me, he'd say he was working on everything and would be going to the next county meeting to get approvals. After each meeting, I'd check in to see the progress and each time he'd say he missed the meeting and would go to the next one. Finally, I called the county who said nothing had ever been submitted by him and no meetings were set up. I even offered him to drop the case if he was too busy to which he said he could handle it. After four months of being strung along with absolutely no progress, I found a new lawyer who has done more in the two weeks I've been with him.

This firm is underwhelming and amateur. Strip mall office, no real website, and try to argue issues in states they aren’t even licensed in. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone in the Easton area or Maryland.
