I could not recommend a lawyer high enough. Mr. Mack has helped me get the compensation to cover my medical bills when I was injured after a car accident and fought the insurance company for me. He helped me understand the process, paperwork, and timeline while also being punctual and available for all of my questions. He even visited me in the hospital! Truly a wonderful person.

After contacting Kirk Halpin, and securing his service, he immediately got to work on our problem. An old loan (2005) that was totally paid off (2007) still showed as an open lien on our property. As a result, the buyer’s Title Company would not approve the sale until this lien was accurately proven to be satisfied. After only a few hours Kirk was able to find three avenues for resolution. After only 10 days one of those avenues came forward with documentation that the lien was in fact satisfied, but was registered in Baltimore County, and not Howard County where the property resides. His aggressive and professional approach led to us being able to close on the sale of our home. We are so thankful we were able to hire Kirk as our lawyer.

I fully trust Mr. Malech and endorse him! Trusting someone with your life is what happens when you retain a lawyer. 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." You will see Mr. Malech's sharp communication skills in action!

I just want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the team at Malloy Law Offices for their outstanding assistance in handling my case. The situation was a bit complicated, as I was on vacation in Alaska when the accident occurred, but the staff was incredibly thorough and attentive throughout the entire process. They answered all of my questions and made me feel like a true team member, guiding me every step of the way.
Though there were some minor hiccups along the way due to staff changes, I never felt abandoned or overlooked. They worked diligently to keep things moving forward and ensured that my needs were always met with care and professionalism.
While I hope not to have to deal with another case in the future, I can confidently say that if the need arises, Malloy Law Offices will be my first choice, and I will absolutely recommend them to anyone who might need legal assistance. Thank you once again to the entire team for your exceptional service!

I must say from the start, our recent experience with the Law Offices of Ronald B. Greene, was exceptional! Attorney, James Carmon, took my husband and I by the hand from day one. His knowledge of the law while meeting our needs was over the top! He made all transactions run without any delays, which put us at ease!! I never thought we would find as much satisfaction from start to finish as we've experience with this firm! If you require assistance with any of your needs, this is the firm to contact!! Words can't describe our appreciation in the service we received on the account of Attorney, James Carmon. Thanks so much for serving our community!!!!

extremely thorough review of my tax history and current status. Very solid proffessionals with great communication. I would gladly and highly recommend Rosefelt for tax work. I was in dire need since a divorce and they were efficient in completing all the years I fell behind and then helped me stay ahead as I go forward. They helped me get into a position where my tax situation is manageable and my tax future is looking very good. I couldn't be more satisfied. They rescued me.

This firm was highly recommended by a coworker. Rus and Jill were above and beyond handling both of my cases. I always felt like I was their number one customer because of their attention and prompt response. I had a case that I was dealing with for almost 2 years and when I passed the case to them it was like taking so much pressure off my shoulders. I even recommended it to my husband for a injury that he had at super store and they took the case and fought for him. We are truly thankful for their amazing work.

I found David Briglia via Google search specifically looking for a lawyer specializing in physician employment contracts. Having already utilized a different professional to handle negotiations regarding compensation, I needed a lawyer to handle the legal nuances of the agreement.
Mr. Briglia was excellent in all respects and exceeded my expectations. He was responsive, accessible, and flexible. The costs of his services were all laid out clearly and very fair. He was clear in his communications with careful attention to detail and precision which I found highly reassuring coming from someone who was expected to evaluate contracts with a fine tooth comb. Based on our arrangement, Mr. Briglia also was able to interact with my future employer's counsel to prevent any miscommunication and expedite the process. His interactions with them, as with me, were all highly professional and non-confrontational in tone.
Even though most of the negotiations were complete by the time I worked with Mr. Briglia, he was still able to negotiate some other aspects of the agreement in my favor. He patched up any leaks in the contract wording to protect me from potential hassles in the future.
In summary, the highlights of working with Mr. Briglia were his attention to detail, prompt responsiveness, and perhaps most importantly, his ability to give me confidence that his counsel led to a highly satisfactory result.
If anyone asks for my advice on who to contact for physician employment contract review and negotiations, I will mention David Briglia without hesitation.

I cannot recommend Lewicky, O’Connor, Hunt & Meiser, LLC highly enough for their exceptional estate planning services. From the very beginning, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful.
Eleanor and Verena took the time to understand our family's needs, provided explanations of the various options available, and made recommendations.
They went above and beyond to address all of our questions and concerns, and I felt so confident that our estate was in good hands that I recommended them to my father. He was a tough customer, and he was impressed too. He recently passed away, and it is wonderful to 1) have solid estate documents to rely on, and 2) have the firm in our corner again as we work through probate. Grief is hard enough without worrying about those things.

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

Bill Blackford is excellent, thorough, pleasant to deal with, and and a good communicator. He provided legal consultation to my small business on matters ranging from employee matters and contracts with independent contractors to fighting subpoenas when the requested information is HIPAA-protected confidential patient information. This was earlier in his career, and when he didn't know something pertaining to my business, he researched it carefully rather than offering a less-than-fully-informed off-the-cuff legal opinion. I'll bet all that research over the years means he seldom has to look much up anymore. I highly recommend him.

Couple of years ago, I went through a challenging divorce and had the opportunity to work with Carmiece T. Graves. From the initial consultation, I felt confident that I had made the right choice.
Carmiece T. Graves demonstrated exceptional knowledge and understanding of family law, offering clear and concise advice throughout the process. They were incredibly supportive, providing not only legal expertise but also showing empathy and patience as I navigated through this difficult time.
Communication was outstanding. She was always available to answer questions, whether it was through email or phone calls, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. The legal strategy she implemented was effective, keeping my best interests at heart.
I would highly recommend Carmiece T. Graves to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled divorce lawyer. They made a challenging time much more manageable, and I couldn't be more appreciative.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
- Drafting contracts: If you need contracts for employees, partners, suppliers, or clients, a lawyer ensures these documents are legally sound and in your best interest.
- Mergers, acquisitions, or dissolutions: If you are buying, selling, or dissolving a company, legal counsel is critical to avoid costly mistakes.
- Compliance and regulatory issues: A lawyer can help navigate complex regulations, particularly in industries like healthcare, finance, or tech.
- Resolving disputes: Whether it's contract disagreements, intellectual property infringement, or employment issues, a business lawyer helps mediate, negotiate, or litigate on your behalf.
What Does a Business Lawyer Do?
Business lawyers provide a wide range of services that cater to different legal needs of a business. They can:
