I am so incredibly grateful that Stuart L Lipshut represented me!

His team is amazing they worked together fighting for what I deserved. Thank You Stuart L Lipshutz and your team! For making the process so stress free for me and making every step so clear and transparent!

I was in a Motor Vehicle Accident. I presented my case to Mr. Lipshutz and he agreed that there was a case. Upon not being able to settle, the case went to court and we won. Mr. Lipshutz prepared me immensely for court. He was very warm and understanding. I felt that he had my best interests in mind. I would recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

The reviews are all good here, but I can never agree. He seems to have been very cautious not to get complaints again after my case. I can't tell here the contents of it because of privacy. Hiring him as my lawyer was a soul-destroying, life-changing experience to me.

I hired Keith based on his online reviews. Initially, I was impressed with his commitment. However, as time progressed, I encountered several challenges that affected my experience negatively. Keith often seemed overwhelmed with his caseload, which might have contributed to the issues we faced.
During our interactions, Keith occasionally displayed a temper, which was unexpected. He also provided me with unclear explanations regarding the financial aspects of my case, specifically how funds were being allocated, which led to rapid depletion of the resources without much progress. While I understand that managing multiple cases can be demanding, the level of service I received did not meet my expectations.
In court, I felt that the aggressive approach I anticipated from our consultations did not materialize as effectively as hoped, which was surprising given his demeanor in person. Unfortunately, the outcome of my case was not favorable, and the legal fees accumulated quickly with what seemed like limited action taken on my behalf.
This experience was disheartening, especially since I initially had a lot of trust in Keith's capabilities. It's important for others seeking legal representation to consider all aspects of a lawyer's client interactions and not just their courtroom performance. Based on my experience, I would advise caution when considering hiring Keith and suggest consulting multiple sources and reviews to form a well-rounded view.

Keith is probably the most knowledgeable family law attorney I have met. I interviewed several before hiring Keith Havens. Keith makes no promises, but he is a subject matter expert regarding marital law. I was surprised that his hourly fee was $250...lower than most.. My divorce was fairly uncomplicated except my career is federal law enforcement and there was property involved...those in my career field no what I'm talking about. FYI - even at $250 per hour, my divorce cost me approximately $15,000 in attorney fees, but his trial preparation is impressive. He is not perfect, but he is definitely looking out for your best interests. Keith takes charge when he needs to, but doesn't need to hear the sound of his own voice, i.e. mediation etc.
My former spouse began to experience psychological issues before and during this process which made negotiations very tough. Her attorneys were competent, but they turned a simple 1 year wait into a 2 year hassle...typical for most attorneys that squeeze their clients for every dollar.
If you need a family law attorney in Maryland, you need to contact Keith Havens.
And if you get married without a prenuptial marital agreement...bad idea...

When my husband got arrested and charged with a DUI that was as bad as when my father suddenly dropped dead. I knew something wasn’t right because my husband was just going up the street. I rode around for hours looking to find his vehicle, I called local hospitals and to no avail. When I arrived back at the house shortly before 2 am, I received a call that he was at a precinct and needed a ride because the vehicle had been towed. Mind you, I had a 6 am flight to work I had to cancel. People hear me clearly; you don’t want to be on the wrong side of the law. Drinking and driving is a serious business that can end your life and livelihood as well as somebody else's. If you don’t have at least 10,000 dollars and a lawyer for this rodeo you will go to jail and a conviction will follow you for the rest of your life. I had been saving up money to get a deck and this happened to us, and I had to pay so much money and had to borrow money from my retirement to pay for my husband’s freedom. Mr. Gibbs reached out to us immediately after I filled out an online form looking for a lawyer. As soon as I heard his voice (I said GOD he is going to help us. I just felt it). He was calm and didn’t judge us at all. He treated us with dignity and respect since we felt so ashamed and embarrassed. We only told 3 friends of whom gave us moral support and 2 spiritual friends and my husband’s brother. No other family or friends knew we were carrying this burden. Mr. Gibbs was patient and kind and so knowledgeable and professional. He laid the truth out and always asked if we had any questions and sometimes our minds were so blown we couldn’t comprehend what he was entirely saying and he just reiterated the information and worked at our pace. He always called us back and made us feel like he didn’t have any other cases but ours. He represented my husband and stood in the gap for us and my husband was not convicted. Mr. Gibbs gave up a pep talk and chastised us with the truth going forward. He made it clear that if we need to go have a drink, have a designated driver or catch Uber. He also put us on a payment plan to soften the blow of paying all at once. My husband still must do community service and pay a fine, but mercy and grace was on our side. I don’t know if Mr. Gibbs is a man of faith or not but GOD used him in a mighty way. I hope we will never have to use his service in this capacity, but I hope I will get a chance to meet him in person in a different capacity. Don’t Drink and Drive. Mr. Gibbs said DUIs are an equal opportunity offense, and it happens to everyone regardless of social status. It can happen to judges and janitors, men of faith or atheists. It is not worth it. The last 8 months have been a horror movie. Today we got our lives back because of the work of Mr. Gibbs.

Mr Gibbs is a phenomenal human being and lawyer. Being charged with a DUI is a scary and stressful situation, but Mr. Gibbs calmed me immediately with his easy going nature and his strong desire to listen and understand the facts of my case. He is well known and respected by all sides; the prosecution, defense, and judge. I have no doubt that having his cache and experience in my corner helped my case get dismissed. While I can not guarantee the same results for you, I know he will fight hard for you and get you the best possible outcome. He is also willing to make payment installment arrangements to relieve any of the financial stresses that come with hiring a lawyer and will meet on a very short notice. I will recommend all of my family and friends to him. Thank you so much Mr. Gibbs and if I ever need a lawyer for anything else (hopefully I won’t lol), he will definitely be my go to.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Amir D. Gibbs on my DUI case, and I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise and support. From our very first meeting, Amir demonstrated exceptional communication skills, always keeping me informed and reassured throughout the entire process. His empathy and understanding were evident in every interaction, making a stressful situation much more manageable.
Amir’s gentle and personable demeanor was an unexpected but incredibly valuable trait. He made me feel at ease and confident in the best possible outcome for my case, which he ultimately delivered. His professionalism and dedication are unmatched, and I am beyond satisfied with the result he achieved.
If you are in the DMV area and need a lawyer for a DUI case, I wholeheartedly recommend Amir D. Gibbs. Choosing him was the best decision I made, and I believe he is the best choice for anyone seeking effective and compassionate legal representation.

Gary Altman is an excellent estate attorney. My wife and I initially came in back in 2008 to have an old estate plan reviewed and, due to significant changes in our lives (children, more assets, etc.), as well as new laws, our documents had to be redone. Gary executed the documents painlessly and quickly. Since then, they've settled my mother's estate, done estate planning for several friends and family members, and also updated our documents. Their support team is a pleasure to work with as well. Everyone we have interacted with has been courteous and professional and they make sure to send us important reminders every year to make sure our documents stay current. We continue to be very satisfied with their work and feel very comfortable referring them to others.

I absolutely recommend Gary Altman, and have already referred friends and family to him. From the initial consultation that my husband and I had with him, we knew we could trust him and count on him to make sure our affairs are taken care of. We actually asked him to "rush" our documents (due to medical emergencies) and we were accommodated with no problems. The team at Altman & Associates made our process so easy and painless. I have also brought in my parents and they also had a fantastic experience, and it was such a pleasure working with Gary Altman. My family and I will absolutely continue to work with him and his firm for years to come.

Mitchell Alkon is an excellent attorney. Great at communication and follow through, honest, thorough, and very smart. And you couldn't ask for a nicer guy.
He has prepared and reviewed real estate contracts for us several times since 2000. He has also been a great legal resource. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Our family has used Mitchell Alkon to represent us in a number of real estate deals over the last decade. In each case, Mitchell has been responsive, attentive to detail, and helpful to us, in many cases helping us to save far more in the deals than his reasonable fees. We have worked with Mitchell in structuring and implementing commercial real estate transactions as well as simpler residential purchases and sales. His suggested LLC structure for the commercial real estate efforts have proven equitable, durable and profitable for our family and our partners.

Mitch always made the closing easy and less expensive. he would find errors in the loan documants by national lenders and correct them, saving me hundreds of dollars at the table. When getting a loan from an out of state lender, he would contact them directly so they knoew how to do business properly in Maryland and not over charge me as the lenders were inclined to do.

Marvelle reached out to me when I was faced with a very adverse action. He helped explain the case to me and gave me a full written strategy as to how he would address the matter. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and timely. Though I did not select Marvelle as my representation this time, he followed up with me after the case was resolved favorably to congratulate me, discuss how my representation and I achieved the desired results, and share his expert advice. My experience with Marvelle indicates he is knowledgeable, dedicated, and results-driven. Based on the level of service I received from Marvelle, I can only imagine what a high quality experience his clients must have when selecting Marvelle Butler as their representation. I consider contacting Marvelle a very strong first step for anyone faced with a matter regarding government contractor (and related legal) cases.

After being wrongly pursued by a government agency for a significant sum in back taxes I was recently informed by Ms. Kundra that the charges were rescinded. I cannot express my appreciation enough for the dogged effort by the folks at Kundra & Associates in this matter. They are professional yet practice a comforting guidance; they are aggressive, informed, and well respected, yet never arrogant. Their effort to clear me of the charges was unwavering and, ultimately, successful. I could not have been better served.

I sought her legal help. My case (according to her) was not complex, and when asked during consultation I was told that a resolution plan will be provided within the estimated cost expenditure. After months of invoicing, charging a lot of fees, no plan was provided instead more money was asked. I had to give several reminders, to provide me a work product other than just receiving invoices. It was disheartening to experience such poor customer service and misleading of a client. The work product when provided had mistakes with several incorrect statements. With such a terrible experience, a lot of money charged no concrete result, I had to end the agreement. Even during closure more money was charged in invoices for work that was very bad and questionable.

Attorney Yu Gu represented me as the sponsor in two immigration petitions. She signed and submitted two Form G-28 "Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney" to the USINS to represent me, yet she did not give to me copy of the what I signed or copy of what she submitted. Now she cannot find any copy of all of the originally-signed documents. She even testified under oath that she was not my immigration attorney in direct contradiction to the signed Form G-28. Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission has issued a public reprimand to Yu Gu in FY2013 for failing to provide competent representation and for not keeping her client informed of the status of an immigration case.

This is an arrogant overrated attorney, who did very little with my personal injury case over a period of eight months. After failing to get insurance information, he reneged on our original agreement, and wanted a $10,000 fee instead. Errors were made in mailing documents, and the limited amount of work that was done was dilatory and shoddy. Hiring this attorney was a total waste of time.

He was extremely knowledgeable regarding my situation and gave me pertinent and sensible advice. He provided me expert information that reenforced that I was taking the best course of action. he aided me in my problem and the court date went smoothly.
I had a landlord/tenant issue and things worked out well under my circumstances.

Stay away from him. It's impossible to communicate with him given his bad attitude, nasty temper and some sort of learning disability. He turned a successful case into a disastrous failure for no apparent reason. He did not discuss the pros and cons of his approach and at the end of the process his charges turned out to be more that what the opposing side had asked to settle! Then the final outcome was a financial disaster for which I have to pay with my really hard-earned money forever.
He should retire or better, be disbarred. A combination of greed and bad attitude plus incompetence. There was absolutely no reason not to settle but he made his money and "took tremendous pleasure" in ignoring the opposing attorney (who was actually more professional than him) basically ignoring what was good for me but pleasing himself at my cost. The legal system is plagued by monsters like this who act with impunity.

I can't imagine being more disappointed in an attorney, or any other service provider. This guy smiled and took my (and my family's) money, promised things to be included in my divorce settlement that somehow never made it in, placated me with things like "we can go back to the judge in a couple years and revisit the custody arrangement," which he only said to keep me quiet. When that time came, he would not even respond to messages or phone calls. My ex violated every premise of the divorce decree, over and over, caused enormous harm to my children, and this "attorney," once paid, never lifted a finger on their (or my) behalf again, even to answer a phone call or email. Literally ANY attorney is a better choice.

Was referred to Mr. Riffkin from a colleague about estate planning. He only partially completed the job, but not before I had paid him in full. Since then he has been VERY unresponsive. To repeatedly try and get a response for 2 months is not reasonable. However, before he was paid, he was responsive. Lesson - don't pay in full until every part of the service is completed.

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:

- Financial documents: If applicable, bring financial records related to the legal matter you're seeking help with.
