Jose Gutierrez here, grateful to share my release from federal prison after serving 19 1/2 years, facilitated by the First Step Act. Having originally received a 40-year sentence set to expire in 2039 for a drug case. My heartfelt and profound appreciation to my attorney Justin Eisele and the Seddiq Law team, whose tireless and pursuit of justice, but more importantly with expertise, served my freedom. Their unwavering advocacy during each procedure is a testament to their commitment and, tenaciously, will fight for your rights, just as they did for me. I highly recommend that the Seddiq Law team vigorously champion your case. I know this at first hand the Seddiq Law team, and most definitely, Justin Eisele will relentless advocacy for you like they did for me it proves that 2nd chances are possible, and I'm living proof that there's hope on the other side. Overall, Attorney Justin Eisele and Seddiq Law are the best. Mr. Justin Eisele, thank you for your devoted time and for bringing me home to my family.

Justin was great! I had a case that was very unsettling & had no luck with my previous attorneys making progress. Justin got my case & within a day was prompt to communicate & advocate for me. All in all Justin got my case dismissed & helped walk me through the process of getting it expunged from my record. Thanks so much Justin I’ll definitely use him again if i need an attorney in the future!

Audrey was great, supportive and reliable. each time i called she was responsive and i am thankful for her effort, she came to court about 10 time for my case and did not ask for any extra time cost which i think she did it because i had to pay a big amount of return to my client and she knew that was putting me in a tight financial situation and was the only way to get out of the mess, That to me is valuable in a person. Something we should know that i learned is lawyers work based on the document you have not your story, I was almost getting charges and being guilty because i pleaded guilty but i realized I have to dig into my document and send them to her which took my hours and days and when I sent them she started to organize them and send me things for correction and presented a great defense and finally from pleading guilty the case dropped and all charges to Null. Thanks again Audrey

I contacted Mr Hoffman on behalf of company over a contractual dispute. The opposing party had developed a majority of their financial basis for indemnification on matters not relevant to actual contract law. Additionally, the opposing attorney had made numerous errors in their filing. What I’ve highlighted is just a small portion of what Mr Hoffman was able to point out quickly and change the direction of this discussion toward a mediation and a “reasonable” level to negotiate. I felt Mr Hoffman did what was in my companies best interest to make matters practical and not emotional. As a small business owner trying to get by, the last thing I want is to deal with nuisances of a frivolous lawsuit… having Mr Hoffman on my side certainly brought clarity and confidence how we could handle this matter without creating an unnecessary and complex trial out of this. Another item to highlight is that Mr Hoffman was quick to return calls/emails. When I originally reached out, he answered his phone. Can’t say that about any of the other attorneys I inquired with and I reached to a handful.

He provided me with all the information I needed to get my business license. 5 stars is all this website offers but he gets 20 stars from me. Thank you again Joel.

Top caliber lawyer. I had a home improvement contract I was struggling to get out of after the contractor kept delaying the work and tried to bait and switch me with the materials they were going to use. He was thorough in going through the details of the contract and pragmatic about what my legal options were. Drafted a very well written letter to the contractors requesting a cancellation of the agreement which they promptly obliged to. Saved me a lot of headache. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

I found Mark in Avvo due to his high rate of great answers to people's questions. Then, I had the privilege to set up a time with him to have a consultation him. I found him a very knowledgeable and resourceful person. I would name him a researcher rather than solely an attorney, who knows exactly where to get the legal basis, what to do next, and how to act with clients and the court employees. It has been a great journey working with him and I am very much satisfied with his detail-oriented personality and answering all of my questions.

I cannot recommend Sharon Diamant strongly enough. I consulted with her in early 2022, and her approach was refreshing, real and utterly straightforward. She did not sugarcoat what sort of results she could produce, and she was very straightforward in giving me all of my options. Sharon always got back to me when I texted her. If she was in Court, she said so. She met with me on my schedule, which usually included Saturday mornings. When we were in Court, she was organized and prepared. My custody case actually wound up going before a Judge, and she presented my case in a methodical and easy-to-follow way. She simplified a very complex process. She appears to be incredibly well-liked by her colleagues and the Court, and it was clear to me she is well-respected. I was very impressed by her calm, rational and reasoned demeanor. She answered every question I had and was never condescending, nor did she ever make me feel like I wasn't the most important client she had. On a personal note, Sharon is an absolute sweetheart. She always insisted I call her by her first name, and it is very clear this lawyer has no ego. She is there to get a job done. I don't recommend divorce, but if you have to go through a divorce or custody case, you cannot go wrong with Sharon. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.

Sharon is one of the best family attorney that America has ever produced that I've worked with. During my first meeting, she explained everything to me from the beginning to the end that i could understand and she was very involved and responsive to all of my questions in my divorce case. She represented me until I finally got my divorce. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable, caring and family lawyer, at a reasonable price, than call the law office of Diamant Gerstein, LLC, and specifically ask for Sharon Diamant, Esquire. She's one of the "BEST" family lawyer that I had retained and I highly recommend her because she gets the job done in a timely manner.

When our local planning office approved a gas station on a site of great historical and community significance, we (as citizens) tried to fight it on our own. The gas company's corporate attorney was too much for us, and we didn't know where to turn. A chance call led us to Michele Rosenfeld, who understood our situation and went to work on our behalf. Although the planning office's original decision remained intact , Ms Rosenfeld was able to negotiate funding from the gas station folks to mitigate at least some of the damage their construction would do. An important point is that, because the planning office had approved the project and because Maryland's standing laws are surprisingly strict, the gas station folks were legally not required to do anything. Thanks to Ms. Rosenfeld, instead of telling us to go pound sand, the gas station company provided funding to address important needs that our planning office had just dismissed out of hand. Ms. Rosenfeld worked for us with reasonable fees and terms, and settled our issue with the best outcome possible.

My mother accumulated a lot of credit card debt which I discovered upon helping her with finances and her health following a stroke. Due to her stroke, she was unaware of the gravity of this situation. Paying off her debts were increasingly becoming a huge burden to her financially as she also needed to be cared for at least 75% of the day. Upon researching and contacting local law firms handling bankruptcy cases, we discovered the Kurland Law Group. An initial contact from their office was quickly followed by an initial phone conference with one of their attorneys, to determine the type of bankruptcy my mother would qualify for. Following the phone conference, emails were sent to inform my mother and I the procedure, the contract, and paperwork requirements. While the process seemed to take a long time, as long as we provided all the information required, the Kurland Law Group was quick to do their end of the process. There was always good and clear communication. They made the bankruptcy process seamless. Attorney Hope and her assistant thoroughly briefed my mother prior to the meeting with the creditors. Because of the Kurland Law Group’s help, my mother now feels more responsible with her finances, thinking more meaningfully before spending. We highly recommend the Kurland Law Group’s services. They are a valuable asset to our community, for those who have a similar problem.

On the day of meeting with the creditors, I couldn't get Zoom or the phone number to work. Because Hope was in the meeting as well, she got both myself and the Creditor on speaker phone to complete the process. I would recommend anybody to use this firm if you need to file with bankruptcy.

Ben helped me prepare materials and submitted my I485 application. He is very professional, organized and detail-oriented. I am terrible with paper work but with Ben’s help, I didn’t need to worry about anything, and the whole process was very smooth. He answered all my questions patiently throughout the process and communicated with me in a timely manner about any updates. He is the best immigration lawyer I could ever ask for!

I would give Benjamin six stars if that were an option. He helped us apply and achieve my wife's greencard, which we obtained a lot sooner than we had expected. He is extremely knowledgeable of US immigration law and guided us through the process very smoothly. He was always available to answer our queries or concerns and would always reply immediately. One of the best experiences I've ever had dealing with legal services. I highly recommend choosing him as your immigration lawyer.

Mr. Hu has been the most reliable and responsible immigration lawyer I have worked with in the past few years. He helped me overcome several obstacles due to changing policies and we were able to prevail upon USCIS, which approved my employment card in less than 2 months - a nice swift resolution. I'd highly recommend Mr. Hu to anyone looking for US immigration legal expertise!

I can't thank Michael A. Taylor enough for everything he did for me. From the moment we first spoke, I felt confident that I was in good hands. He was patient, listened to every concern I had, and made sure I understood every step of the process. What really stood out was his dedication and compassion something you don’t always find. Because of Michael A. Taylor, I was able to get through a tough situation with peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer, and I’m so grateful for his help. If you're looking for someone who is not just knowledgeable but truly cares about their clients, Michael A. Taylor is the one you want by your side. Thank you so much again!

September 29, 2024 Dear Mr. Eric Wexler, Esq. Meeting you in your office on September 26, 2024 was indeed a breath of fresh air to my occupied mind with my situation. My experience in your office started first by receiving a very warm and friendly welcome greetings offered by two of your professionally mannered Staff-Ladies which was telling me a lot about the existence of a very friendly and professional administrative setup in your office. I had arrived earlier than my appointment time and was sitting in your office waiting-room that you put the key onto the office entry door-lock, opened it and seeing me sitting there, you walked right towards the chair I had sat on with a warm welcoming smile on your face rather than rushing right into your office. We shook hands and exchanged some short icebreaker friendly conversation with each other and then you walked away going into your office. I liked those friendly gestures a lot. Shortly after, I was escorted to your office. After getting to know about my overall problem which was almost sketchy because of the time laps, you engaged me with a series of interesting methodical questioning about my situation and continued with probing into my almost over four decades old memories which I was frankly thinking that you would be looking to find a needle in a haystack. With a promising and encouraging sign on your face, you continued with your probing for finding any additional clues while kept revising your arithmetic’s workout upon each one of your additional findings and came up with a great plan of action at the end that I felt all so comfortable with it. I can't thank you enough for that. I do appreciate your deep knowledge and expertise in the field that I needed legal help with. Sincere, Ata Baybordi

Eric was super helpful in guiding me through the impact of the new tax law on my personal tax filings. His staff were also extremely courteous and patient. As an attorney and CPA, he brings a wealth of knowledge to the table and he is extremely patient with new clients like myself.

My husband and I were having a rather bizarre issue with our S-Corporation and The State of Maryland and we needed to speak with a tax attorney. When I explained our issue, Eric listenened and gave me a few options to consider. There was no "sales pitch" to get us into his office. In fact, Eric offered to talk to our accountant to help us make the best choice! After speaking with our accountant, the option that we chose did not give Eric any immediate business. I was so impressed that he simply helped us. Obviously I cannot attest to working with him, but I can attest to his friendly, frank and knowledgeable consultation!

I was injured in a rear end collision on the Capital beltway. Mr. Rosenthal worked on my case patiently for an extended period of time due to continued medical treatment. He helped negotiate a settlement with the responsible party's insurance company that I would never have been able to accomplish on my own. I liked that we discussed the case as a team, as this allowed me to fully understand a very complicated process. I would highly recommend Mr. Rosenthal's services and I would certainly use him again should the need arise.

I highly recommend this law firm. Someone directed me to this law firm when my daughter’s mother sued me for child custody and child support with the intention of extorting money from me. With the help of attorney Michael who practice under this law firm, my case was dismissed with prejudice . Michael is very knowledgeable with Maryland family law as well as international law. This was my first time going to court , I was nervous lol. Attorney Michael gave me some good legal advice with respect to my case. I am glad the case was dismissed.

Attorney Chester has been referred to me by the online Montgomery Bar Association Referral Service. NO THE PHONE REFERRAL SERVICE, I have to underline that because they are incredible and do they best to assist. Back to Mr.Chester! I contacted him for a Condo Association dispute. first thing on the phone, He asked me what is the management company, I told him and he answered: " the company is owned by a good friend of his". Without being an attorney I spotted a conflict of interest right at the beginning of the conversation and the end of the conversation attests it and the lack of objectivity of this attorney. He found normal for a management company to hold a storage key of an owner for 2 years, He found normal a management company don't have and hold accurate and update paperwork. That management provide a 1989 ( 35 YEARS OLD) contract to be applied on a newly owned property of 2020. and so on. I definitely DO NOT recommend this attorney. He doesn't go to court to represent you or the law he studied!! This attorney response to the review show you should not even think going there. YOU ALL READING THIS REVIEW ARE NOT FIRM CLIENT & LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT FIRM

Kim Boettger helped me get through my divorce, seeing it through from initial filing to the final hearing a year and a half later. She was passionate about my case from the start, and she worked diligently to ensure that I was not unfairly marginalized by the family law system as can sometimes happen to men. Without Kim, I would probably still be fighting it out with my now ex in court over various things, but Kim's calm demeanor in the face of animosity and vitriolic behavior from the other side was very much in keeping with my "when-they-go-low-we-go-high" approach to the whole ordeal. Kim helped me "win" in the end, because neither she nor I stooped to allowing feelings of hatred, resentment, or retaliation affect how we conducted ourselves from start to finish. As a negotiator, she is adept at working with the other side, even in the face of unreasonableness, to reach a mutually satisfying result. As a counselor, her passion for her client's cause and zeal in the courtroom and in negotiations shines through. In my opinion, she is one of the finest family lawyers in the area.

I hired Kim after being pro se and only a month away from trial. My ex, who was represented by an attorney, slapped multiple motions on me. Kim took no time in understanding my case and started working to get me back on track, again in no time. My case isn't over it but I can totally rely on Kim as she fought to get me interim relief and that she will continue to work harder to get me justice in the end. I totally recommend her if you have a custody battle and you need a good lawyer to represent you.

My family and I engaged Mr. Ronald Karp following my involvement as a victim in traffic accident (involving a truck) in 2012. Mr. Karp reviewed the case as it stood, and with his staff meticulously ferreted out the evidence to support my case. That evidence uncovered proved irrefutable and the several aspects of the case (medical, insurance, adequate compensation) were reviewed and comprehensively addressed. The fees for handling my case were addressed up-front without any further ‘add-ons’ that might have been otherwise expected. Mr. Karp was involved in interviewing me first-hand and was involved in acquiring medical reports on the extent of my injuries. At no stage was there any coercion, for me or my family, to settle on any offered compensation. In fact, his actions encouraged us to ‘stay the course’ through the lengthy process of settlement which he advised could be extended. We felt, that to a great extent, we would be directly influential and involved in the outcome of the case and were confident that our attorney was acting scrupulously on our behalf. Mr. Karp also, in his capacity of attorney, cleverly and successfully negotiated (on our behalf) with the medical insurance companies. In the end, we (my family and I) were very pleased and satisfied with Mr. Karp’s and his colleagues’ efforts. We benefitted greatly from such human sensitivity and support. We are extremely grateful. On the Michelin scale, the service rendered could only be described as five star (*****). We also consider this to be an understatement of our own appreciation of his services. To potential clients, we recommend his services unequivocally. Thank you Mr. Karp.

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.
