I had a consultation with Ben regarding my divorce and child custody/support. Ben was knowledgeable and honest while explaining the process to me. He gave clear advice and I felt much more settled about my next steps.

Ross represented me, a federal employee who had worked for a financial regulatory agency. Five years after the original incident, an EEOC Judge issued a notice finding discrimination and found the Agency discriminated against me based on my disability in connection with its failure to accommodate me and constructive discharge during my probationary period. Ross Fishbein, worked tirelessly on the case for nearly three years and helped negotiate a settlement agreement with the agency for $425,000 to compensate me for back pay, expenses I incurred, and payment of full attorney fees. The settlement was just before the hearing on damages and was likely a better outcome than an EEOC-ordered reinstatement. Ross is professional, compassionate, and extremely well-informed. The EEOC judge commended him for his strong writing skills and hearing presentations. He met all deadlines and did an excellent job. He took the time to explain the different legal strategies, listened to me as a client, and provided advice, presented possible outcomes, all while leaving the decisions on the development and settlement in my hands. I would highly Ross to other federal employees needing advice and a winning team to represent them. Kristin Alden and Ross Fishbein represented me at the EEOC. Thank you so much!!

I hired Ross to represent me with my EEO case against the government and he did a great job. Ross is an intelligent, hard-working, honest attorney that always made himself available. During my case, Ross demonstrated that he was concerned about my work life and how things would affect me after the case was complete (besides just a payout) which meant a lot to me. At one point during the case, my Agency's attorney tried to make excuses for their behavior and poke holes in my case, which was pretty infuriating and disrespectful. Ross was professional and he successfully destroyed the other attorney with solid case law and I was proud to have him on my side. In conclusion, I would highly recommend hiring Ross Fishbein if you plan to take on the government. Expect a long upward and unfair fight. I know it can be difficult to know where to turn when you are wronged and you will feel alone. Ross won a settlement with my case and I know he will do his best for you too.

I am thrilled to provide a reference for Attorney Murad Khan: Earlier this year, I contacted Mr. Khan to handle a breach of contract matter and I was very pleased with the results. Mr. Khan provided superior advice throughout the process and was able to help me resolve the issue without litigation. Mr. Khan is talented, sharp and has a firm grasp on how to get results for his clients.

I am extremely satisfied with the quality of legal service provided by Murad Khan. Murad is a great attorney but in addition, he is an really nice guy who really cares about his clients. He offered insightful solutions to my business and legal problems. I found him to be pragmatic, honest and someone with highly-developed interpersonal skills (which really helped during intense negotiations).
Murad helped my business tactfully mediate a major dispute and successfully negotiate and execute the resulting contracts. In fact, my company had spent 8 months negotiating this deal and it was at risk of imploding. Luckily, Murad and his team were there to help advocate for us and bring us to a successful and fair resolution. I would definitely recommend Murad and his firm.

We had a very successful outcome for our legal case that allowed us to stabilize our family's life after a brain injury. Yet it was the process of the case that was as important to us, because we had so much to manage medically, emotionally, and mentally, during this challenging time. Chris Nace and his excellent team didn't involve us unless they needed our attention, allowing us to place our focus where it was required, in our healing. Also, they spent time answering our questions, no matter how trivial, since we had never used a lawyer except in the creation of our wills. We felt prepared for the case, and informed of our options, but yet not burdened by too much information. We were given adequate preparation for the next steps, but we were not overwhelmed by a multitude of responsibilities. As part of their client care, we were able to help protect our children and other family members from the rigors of an adversarial environment, and to go on with our lives instead of being involved in legal matters.
Frankly, it was Nace's straight talk that brought us to Chris and his father Barry, and it was their compassionate response and awareness of our situation that kept us optimistic through the inevitable ups and downs of this long, convoluted process.
I would recommend Chris Nace without hesitation, as he has the kind of doggedness and integrity that you want on your side, and because this organization has the expertise and experience that makes a level playing field out of the surprises and biases of the legal system.

Janet Goldstein was my whistle-blower attorney and I could not be more pleased. She is honest, hardworking and not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. She took on my case, and was not only kind and understanding, but she is one accomplished lawyer to have on your side. She walked me through the whole False Claims Act process, start to finish, guiding me every step of the way. The end result was a great win. Ms Goldstein knows her stuff and is unbelievably relentless. I highly recommend her and am highly satisfied with her work on my case.

If I am ever in need of legal assistance in the future, my first call would be to Janet. In my case we dealt with both a Wrongful Termination and a Qui Tam Case. I have to say that at all times I knew that noone could have fought more vigorously on my behalf. Both cases were brought to a satisfactory conclusion and I am forever grateful for the assistance that was provided to me. When you are a little guy in a struggle with the big guys you need some firepower in your corner and I certainly had that - in spades. Janet was a pleasure to deal with throughout and I never doubted for a second that I had the best team in my corner. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this lawyer to anyone. Thank you very much Janet, I am forever in your debt.

As a real estate agent I come in contact with many, many attorneys. Mr. Schnitzer is the most responsive and knowledgeable attorney I have had the pleasure of working with. He returns calls promptly and consistently represents my buyers and sellers in a professional and caring manner like they were members of his own family. He is my "go-to" attorney, and pleasantly answers all of my legal questions in the pre-bid phase of a transaction. He has been instrumental in holding several transactions together for me by being a strong voice of reason .

Patrice Sheridan has performed admirably pro-bono for non-profit organization efforts within my organization's founding rounds and with a now-structured non-governmental organization. She is exceptionally without ail, thorough, considerate, and has researched what others consider major issues, down to a finite point of making a "life-altering event" into a "simple exercise. Patrice gives credit to her profession's humanity.

Zamani and Associates, including Amanda Sow, helped me with one of the most difficult things in my life, a child custody issue after I returned overseas. I think some lawyers were leery because it was international and had some complicated issues from strong cultural differences, overseas living complexity with many different countries, work conflict, attempts at restraining orders, diverse family relations and even psychological exams and home studies! I was facing a trial and an unknown chaos of what custody would look like in the midst of all of this. I was given an excellent attorney reference to them after struggling for weeks to find a good attorney. I also am myself an attorney. I read the reviews and was convinced, except they said “holistic,” which is normally is very positive. However, my friends and family recommended an “aggressive” attorney because of the difficulties I faced with my ex and inability to stop them.
Zamani and Associates and Amanda more than lived up to their reviews! I was explained my options clearly, which I thought were not possible. They recommended settlement immediate and indeed settled it quickly as they predicted. I went from a dreaded trial posture and an unlivable living arrangement with my children to obtaining an agreement with a livable arrangement without trial after settlement. What I liked best was their calm demeanor, attention to detail, attempts to follow the client’s wishes balanced with realism and courteous prompt responses from all in their office. I actually knew it was the right office when I first walked in and met their administrative assistant and other staff. Amanda was very supportive to my wife and when I was nervous at my hearings.
Amanda and her firm assist in relationship management, communications and helped me like no other in minimizing difficult interaction with my former partner at settlement meetings and according to my wishes. I valued their personal skills, contacts with other attorneys, and ability to work well with diverse family members. They were unphased by the international, cultural, complex procedural and family web. They always had a common “it can be solved” demeanor. With Zamani & Associates, I did not just engage strong legal minds, like Amanda's, but I gained well connected, skilled attorneys familiar with DC courts.
They are also effective as a firm on critical financial issues in my case. I previously experienced great time delays from other attorneys without receiving needed advice. The firm also handled billing professionally and reasonably. Their rates and billing process were clear, which was previously another big stressor. This really speaks to their integrity, ethical, and quality as a firm.
Amanda helped bring relief to my children and family, and even the opposing party appears to be happy. My experience shows how positive a “holistic” approach can be and how important it is for family in conflict. My family circumstances may never be totally easy, but the tools that Zamani & Associates gave me, including books on communication and brushoffs from their constructive attitude, really helped my me and my family.

Alison is insightful, tactful, and determined. When a former client of mine breached our contract and refused to mediate, I was very upset and wasn't sure what to do. Alison helped me file a claim and provided me with lots of support and guidance in my first legal case. Ultimately, she not only secured payment for me, but also did her best to restore my positive relationship with the former client—and both the organization and I are better off because of it. I would recommend Alison without reservation.

From the initial conversation until the end of my court case, Mr. Cooper was extremely professional, courteous, empathetic, patient, knowledgeable and a man of immediate action. He is very clear, concise, trustworthy, well connected and detailed when outlining his expectations to assist me in making my case easier to expedite. Before meeting Mr Cooper, I was extremely confused with my case and so many parties involved but he made each step seamless the moment he took over. He was easy to reach at any time and was thorough in his explanations. At the end of the day, he ensured that all parties were satisfied, understood the specifics as well s even followed up afterwards. I would highly recommend Mr Cooper to anyone that is seeking a true professional that knows their craft inside and out!

Having my I-751 denied with deportation proceedings was unimaginable. I felt like it was the end of the world, till one of my friends recommended Mr. Bromberg. After consulting with them, I felt like a new person. I had hope. His PROFFESIONALISM was SUPERP. Guided me through all the process until I got the condition of my greencard removed and the deportation proceedings also was dismissed. Helped me too with my citizenship application. He went with me to all of my interviews and I felt secured. Now I'm on my way to my OATH TAKING.
May God bless Mr. Bromberg and his staff. They are all outstanding! I couldn't thank them enough for all their help and support. I can go on and on and on!!!
I highly recommend Mr. Bromberg

Our financial advisor Nathan Garcia provided referral to Kyle Epting to review our estate planning legal documents. We took the opportunity to have my mom participate so we both updated several legal documents. Kyle was exceptional and helped guide us to additions and subtractions from prior documents. Kyle was willing to drive to a convenient meeting place which helped with the commute time picking up my mom and joining Kyle and Nathan in Columbia, MD. Kyle’s use of DocuSign made it simple to complete an engagement letter to start work immediately and he answered all our questions in preparation for document review and then additional questions during the review. Kyle had timely follow up which provided an overall great experience to know we have our legal documents updated and executed.
Great job Kyle!

Dorene represented me when I had to go to court to evict a tenant. I am just an individual landlord, and don't have some massive company or anything, so for me this was a somewhat emotional process. Dorene knew the ins and outs of landlord/tenant law in DC, and really made me relieved to have her on my side! She was very responsive and made me extremely confident that she knew exactly what she was doing. Also, since she does this a lot she knows the reputation of the various judges, mediators, etc and knows a lot of the people you will deal with in the courthouse. Also, I found her services to be affordable for me and she doesn't nickel and dime you for every question (phew!). I have consulted her since this time several times to ensure I know exactly how to legally protect myself in the future. I highly recommend her!

Dorene Mary Haney was very expeditious in following up with me in regards to my inquiry. After her following up with me I was able to assess what was the next steps in which I needed to follow through with. I did not end up using Ms. Haney because I did not end up needing a lawyer but if I had needed a lawyer she would definitely be someone that I would trust.

Mr. Ahmed has been a mentor to me for the last 2 years. Given his almost 3 decades of experience in litigation, I often turn to him for input on my own cases and have found his input very valuable. I have found that across the board, from Judges to Attorneys to court staff, Mr. Ahmed is highly respected as an attorney and personally well regarded. He is among the top tier of attorneys I would turn to if I had the need.

Mr. Ahmed was retained for my friend who was subject to an unwarranted search of his vehicle. Without being too detailed, it was a case of police harrassment/profiling. Items were seized from my friend in an attempt to portray him as being someone he was not. In summation, Mr. Ahmed proved my friend's innocence and all charges were dropped. He is well respected by Judges as well as fellow Attorneys. We have retained him to have the seized items returned. He is just OUTSTANDING!!!

We've always found Mary to be an ethusiastic expert on our regulatory employment questions. She is very knowledgable about the law but also some of the nuances of government adminstration. She not only was able to answer our many questions, provide a framework for solution, but gave us meaningful information on how the respective agency would view the situation. I would recommend her to any company with an issue in that area.

Theresa is excellent. She made partner and has no qualms about doing everything in her power, the power of the laws to hide evidence, and has a vast resource of professionals that are paid well to create what ever appearance of the truth she feels will save you money, get the kids away from their mom to reduce child support or prevent someone from having the money for medical treatment. It depends on your needs but she is excellent at what she does.

I had never consulted an attorney for any family law matter before I met Theresa Mihalik. A fellow lawyer spoke highly of her and her firm, which was a good start. Theresa is warm and personable, but most importantly, she knows her stuff. She was generous with her time during our initial consultation and answered all of my questions, even those that I felt stupid asking. She also asked all of the right questions, so that she understood my objectives and could craft an agreement that would protect my interests without creating conflict with the other side. Theresa assessed the work she would need to do for me and charged me a reasonable retainer, which was much less than I had expected to pay. Throughout the 2-3 weeks that it took to finalize an agreement, she kept me apprised of her schedule and responded promptly to all of my e-mails, even if she was in court on another matter. Based on my perspective as a lawyer and a client, I would recommend her to anyone needing family law representation.

What can I say? I was involved in a crash over a year and a half ago, it turned out that I had some pretty severe back issues as a result of that. I immediately contacted Simeone & Miller, within 2 days I was in their office meeting with them. I was extremely nervous, didn't know how this would all turn out, knowing what medical bills are these days, Mike and Kiara (paralegal) kept me calm and educated throughout the entire process. There were some tough conversations and things that I didn't want to hear. The one thing Mike kept telling me was this all takes time. Well he was right, I can't say enough great things about this firm. I feel like we just ended a personal relationship with the conclusion of the case. I hope I never need to call them again other than to say hi. However, if I do I know once again I will be in great hands.

I met Craig as apart of Bosson Legal Group... so this isn't as much a review for him ONLY as much as at is for the entire team: (I couldn't find the entire group on AVOO) :(
At the start, my case truly felt insurmountable. I had never dealt with needing an attorney for racial discrimination in the workplace before and had no idea where to begin. Not to mention, I had only heard horror stories from others who'd had to hire an attorney for various reasons. People warned me that with my case in particular, the entire process would take FOREVER and that I would more than likely deal with a "lying thief of an attorney" because "they [were] all the same" anyway.
I am BEYOND pleased to say that this was NOT AT ALL the case dealing with Craig and Bosson Legal Group.
From the very beginning, Craig made me feel nothing but safe and taken care of. He listened to my story in full; Never once rushing me, belittling me or hurrying me. He even offered numerous, sincere apologies for what I had been through. I couldn't believe that I was receiving such authentic and genuine empathy from a LAWYER. What's more, is that he worked with where I was financially and allowed me to pay him in "good faith" when I couldn't afford it.
As my case progressed, I was passed from Craig to Tim but not in a way that even once made me feel discarded. Craig made sure he let me know that he remained accessible to me and Tim was just as WONDERFUL.
It seemed that as soon as I would get antsy, before even having the chance to bring it up to Tim, he would read my mind, reach out and say, "Hey haven't forgotten you. We're still fighting for you!" And that's exactly what he and his entire team did.
My case was resolved abnormally fast, which I believe is because I was in such excellent hands.
The only thing I would've like to see a little different was that: I often wonder sometimes if I should've fought a little further/a little harder for more compensation that I deserved. But during some conversations, I wasn't confident that we could win if I chose to go further which is slightly disheartening.
But to be fair, that doesn't necessarily mean it's reflective of Tim's abilities. It could just be that it truly wasn't going to benefit me to keep going forward. I only had one other slight concern with how my ending balance made a little bit of a jump that I wasn't anticipating. But, Tim did send me a breakdown explaining this later.
Trust me when I say...
You simply will not be in better hands with anyone else than you would be if you were with Craig Welkener and Bosson Legal Group. I mean that sincerely. They are the dream team. I can't thank you ENOUGH, guys.

Kathleen Havener must be complimented for the excellent assistance she provides.Kathleen has taken the time to educate and support me in arriving at the correct legal advice for our business. She has shown patience and understanding every step of the way. It's nice to know I can count on her and she will assist me in any situation.
To have a person of Kathleen's skill and professionalism on your side has set The Havener Law Firm apart from the crowd, my only regret is that I never met Kathleen years ago and had her look after the legal side of my businesses. It is not often that you come across people with the dedication to both their clients and the profession they represent.
It’s been a pleasure working with Kathleen and I am sure this relationship will go well into the future.

We had a perfect experience with Robert Bullock and Abigail Wolf from ELDC. Let me tell you how I got there. It started in the overcrowded sitting room of another local elder care law firm…
I was the youngest person in the room by 30-40 years, and I was in the room for totally different reasons than everyone else. They were there to learn how to manage your retirement funds so that when it’s time for you to move into assisted living or a nursing home, you can get Medicaid to pay for your bed. I was there to figure out what I needed to know and do in order to ensure that if, God forbid, something should happen to my wife and me, our son with special needs (he has a profound physical disability with no cognitive impairment) would be properly taken care of (e.g. medical, nursing, caregiver support, college, spending money, etc). My ideal scenario was to wrap up all of our resources (financial accounts, retirement, possessions, life insurances) in a tidy way such that a legal “key” could immediately convey to whomever we designated as our son’s caregivers...with no interruptions whatsoever to his high level of medical support.
I didn’t learn much about my particular situation from that session (though it was very informative if you want to figure out how to keep your retired husband from buying that pool he always wanted after you’re gone, or from spending your grandchildren’s inheritance with the new pool girl that came with the pool!), and I began to sense that I needed to find a specialist with personal experience in special needs. Enter Robert Bullock. Recommended by a friend of my son’s physical therapist, Robert has a lifetime of experience in legal matters related to all areas of special needs.
Because of our son’s medical needs, my wife and I have trouble getting out of the house. Robert easily accommodated this need via a meeting over video teleconference. He also immediately understood our goals and motivation and began helping us understand the process we would need to walk through in order to make that vision a reality. He was very generous with his time and with dispensing timely insights that were helpful for a young couple still starting out on our journey with our son’s special needs.
When Robert directed that our case be handled by his colleague Abigail Wolf, we wondered what it would be like to work with her. She did not disappoint! Efficient and comprehensive, Abigail struck a perfect balance between giving us the space we needed to work through the sometimes extensive paperwork we needed to fill out (something which can be tricky to find time to do, when you’re juggling a lot of home healthcare needs) and helping us stay on track with working towards our goal of getting it all squared away before the end of the year (mostly by checking in periodically to see if we needed any assistance). When all was said and done, we had completed wills, Advanced Medical Directorives, and Power of Attorney documents for both my wife and me, as well as a Family Trust for our family and a Special Needs Trust for our son. All of these are precisely configured to ensure that, if something happens to both of us, all our financial resources will be at the disposal of our son’s caregivers.
When the time came to finalize the documents, Abigail took care of everything. We reviewed and signed everything in our own home, with the help of a courteous and efficient notary (also scheduled by Abigail).
Overall, our experience with Robert Bullock, Abigail Wolf, and ELDC was like eating at a five-star restaurant, i.e. everything we hoped it would be and more. I heartily recommend ELDC to anyone needing legal services related to financial documents for elder or disability care---especially special needs families!

Ms. Wolf has helped many of my healthcare clients, navigating various legal needs they may face, such as guardianship concerns, estate planning and how to prepare for the future. She is very knowledgeable but is able to explain things in an understandable fashion. She is tireless in her efforts to help others. She truly hears individualized concerns and addresses them. She is efficient but comprehensive. I highly recommend her services, regardless of if someone is just beginning their planning for the future, or needs to review what they have in place.

After dealing with an immigration attorney who turned out to be too laid backed even after a RFE was issued for my immigration case, my employer (with my consent) decided to switch attorneys. This was at a crucial time in my case so obviously it was very stressful for me, my employer and my family. We were recommended Mr. Basyuk by a mutual friend and were immediately impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail and calm demeanor. Compared to the first immigration attorney, Mr. Basyuk constantly kept us up-to-date on what to expect next. I am extremely happy to report my work authorization documentation arrived in a timely manner, and my green card came through a lot quicker than we had all expected. My employer is continuing to use Sergey's services; we highly recommend his work and would not hesitate to pass his contact details onto anyone who is looking for a great immigration attorney.

Mr. Sergey Basyuk showed total interest in my case since day 1. He was the third immigration lawyer my husband and I interviewed and definitely our best option. He made sure that he had the complete information about us and understood our priorities, needs and life cycle at that time, which helped a lot to guide us to our right path, as each case is different.
The whole process was clearly explained to us step by step. That helped us a lot and made us feel relax. Also, he was always available for us in person, on the phone, on e-mails to answer any doubt with the best attitude.
My husband and I were so busy at that time with our own jobs, the move to the U.S., the wedding, and so on, that we blindly trusted Mr. Basyuk and let him lead the way. It worked smoothly and simple. I am sure that if we had done this by ourselves we would have been stressed and would have taken longer as it is a process that requires tons of original documents, affidavits, deadlines, application forms, different payments as the process goes along, and so on.
If I have to resume Mr. Basyuk's service, I definitely say fast response, knowledge, respect, commitment, punctuality and good attitude.
My immigration process is finished now, and I would totally recommend Mr. Sergey Basyuk, a trustworthy attorney.

Stephanie Mtui's expertise and help was invaluable to a multi-year insurance claim lawsuit. Her interpretations of our policies and of various legal documents helped us stay confident that we were doing the right thing in continuing our fight to get paid when we were very tired of the insurance company refusing to honor their obligations in an unusually long and drawn out battle.

Ms. Grassia helped us with a complex builders risk insurance claim. During the claim, she was innovative in her approach and was very knowledgeable about the law and industry standards for insurance coverages and the obligations of the insurer. Her experience as both a lawyer and an insurance broker was invaluable to our cause. She understands that legal matters are expensive and she handles each situation with thrift and prudence, spending the clients money wisely.
We were very impressed with her work, work ethic and her honesty. It doesnt hurt that she was able to help us pull off a win. We would not hesitate to recomend her to other clients.

I contacted three lawyers for my case and he was the only one that sat down and actually talked about my case and reviewed the evidence I had. He sat down and went over the jury instructions with me and went over a convincing outline as to why the evidence didn't support the charges and how he would approach the case. He also gave a very thoughtful and appropriate prognosis of what may or may not possibly happen with my case. Didn't take him long to get my charges dismissed either, though had it not panned out that way I though he would do a good job if the case had gone to trial.

I came to Will Mount to learn more about my legal options regarding a CPO. He not only explained the CPO and the process behind it, but he answered all of my questions as they came. As we decided to proceed with the CPO, he followed up on his own to make sure things were okay. I never doubted that Will was knowledgable, but having someone who genuinely cares made a rather unpleasant situation far less stressful.

20 years ago (1994) Barry saved my job at Georgetown University. I was since promoted and received several employee commendations. I retired from the university in 2003 and as a result of the staff benefits package, my son who was 5 years old at the time, received the dependent tuition. He graduated this month from the University of Maryland with honors. Although I have not spoken to Barry in over twenty years, I credit his wisdom, intelligence and fortitude for making this all possible for me, my wife Faith and Zach. We will be forever greatful. Which is why I have no problem with leaving my name.

Barry helped me to save my son's life. He so well represented him in our legal case; but, that was only a part of his excellence. He helped my son to survive with his knowlege of psychology , his compassion, caring and support, so my son did not act on his suicide thoughts. Barry helped him to maintain his drug sobriety through an incredibly difficult and painful legal case. My son was suicidal from the angst of this case which required my son to look back at his years of child abuse and then into his past drug addiction. Barry worked with my son, my son's psychologist and with me to get through this ordeal. Barry followed through perfectly and quickly on any matter that needed attention. I never had to wait for a response in those difficult months which spanned well over a year. Quite an accomplishment! He developed positive relationships with the prosecution and kept things on as even keel as possible. I highly recommend Barry and am grateful to have found him.

I’ve worked with Ryan continuously since 2012 and he’s become my most trusted advisor on all of my major decisions. He’s helped my businesses with complicated investment structuring, contract issues, lease negotiations, and a number of other general legal issues that have come up. I’m a restaurant owner and he really understands my business, particularly the financial aspects of our decisions. His ability to see potential issues before they arise has been invaluable. He’s extremely thorough and always goes above and beyond what’s required to help. I highly recommend him!

I'm a co-founder of a hospitality group (Taylor Gourmet) that scaled pretty rapidly ....it’s very important that I have an attorney I can rely on. Ryan has helped us with a number of complex financial and licensing contract matters, his attention to detail is unrivaled. He consistently demonstrates sound business and legal judgment. I particularly appreciate that he always takes the time to understand our goals and budget before he starts “running up the clock.” I strongly recommend him without reservation. Since day of his engagement it felt as if he were a part of our internal team it truly set him apart and have been loyal ever since.
Best

I spent years and thousands of dollars without progress and was beginning to lose all hope. When I engaged Jordan as my representative, he caught up on the history extremely quickly and expertly navigated the chaos to provide me with amazing legal advice and support. His firm also was very fair on the billing which isn't always the case.
The resolution he got me in my custody battle was better then any deal I could have ever hoped for and I had been explicitly told that what I wanted would never happen. I am filled with confidence that he will finish my divorce in the same manner and couldn't be happier with his incredible and professional work.

I contacted Lescht & Associates in March 2010, when I was told by my employer that he was taking away a multimillion dollar client. that I brought to the company. I am a commission only sales person and after working to secure this client for months without being paid, I asked for a committment in writing from my employer. After receiving the committment and several orders from this client the company terminated me.
The first thing Mr. Lescht did was send a letter to the company.stating I had retained his services. He did this the same week I met him. I was impressed by how fast Mr. Lescht responded to my case. Mr. Lescht filed suit in PG County and constantly kept me informed of the status of the case. A court date was set and Mr. Lescht worked with me so I would be prepared to testify. Bottom line Mr Lescht WON the case and I will receive all the commissions due me.
Mr. Lescht is an excellent Trial Lawyer, He is calm, cool, and collected.
He is very methodical and he stays on point. After the trial, several people commented on how professional my attorney was and how he was able to make his point with very few words.

I cannot imagine a better individual representing me than Alan Lescht. During a long, and at times frustrating, process Alan provided excellent guidance, and answered every question I had with a clear and helpful answer. Whenever I called or emailed Alan got back to me quickly, and kept me informed of all dealings with the opposing side. In all of my dealings with the office everyone was friendly, helpful and supportive. In the end my complaint was resolved very satisfactorily and a level of closure was achieved that will help me move on.
I am very satisfied with choice in lawyer I made, and I would recommend Alan to anyone facing similar issues.
