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!

Anacostia Law Group, and Attorney Tesfaye Mohamed in particular, have provided outstanding legal services and support for my business over the past several years. Attorney Mohamed has been responsive, informative, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I especially like his calm yet resolute demeanor, and the way he outlines as well as explains potential strategies and options to address legal issues. Based on my experience, I highly recommend Anacostia Law Group, PLLC.

Ms. Jessica keister is a fantastic attorney! She cares so much about her clients ! She helped me with my divorce and was both professional and empathetic. She kept me informed every step of the way through the process . Not only was she supportive, but she took a lot of time to explain those things I didn't completely understand.

I was in need of legal counsel and representation, so I did a Google search for personal injury lawyers. Out of hundreds of firms, I chose Alpert Schreyer, LLC, because my initial consultation with the firm was great. In my opinion, people don't help you if they don't hear you. After a week of making calls, stating my case, and being told, "Someone will call you," "I can't take your case," or ending the conversation without hearing me; I called Schreyer's office and they heard me to help me!

He is very straightforward and has a strategy every step of the way which includes appeals to the circuit courts and addressing federal DOT issue for CDL holders and expungements. His team (Reana, Sandy, Keri, Andy and others) do an excellent job helping you build your defense. Look no further this is the Lawyer you want representing you.

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.

Called him late one evening to inquire about how to obtain my business license. He didn't get annoyed that it was after working hours. Instead, he promised to look it up first thing the next morning and get back to me which he did. 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.

I’m no angel but I was harassed and held an irregular amount of time for assumptions and what seemed to be generalizations as well as profiling. For example having two forms of ID. And still being told that they didn’t believe me when I told them who I was when it could have been verified through very simple means.
A shame I had to spend money to prove my innocence but Ms. Shipley understands the system and is pragmatic in her approach. She will deliver results and proves to be very effective.
I commend Ms. Shipley for doing what is right by providing a service to help those who are oppressed, generalized and profiled. If not for her god knows where I would be.

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.

I was recently charged with a DUI in Maryland.
My questions and concerns were heightened even more, as I am an out of state resident (WV), and did not know what to do.
Mr. Phillips is excellent. I was able to pay a $300 fine and complete online courses, thus, not serving anytime in jail. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.
All around professional, caring, accessible and informative.

Ultimately all charges were dropped! He truly works hard for his clients. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

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.

I contacted Mr. Robert Farley after I was involved in a serious car accident. Mr. Farley and his team worked closely with me, the insurance company, and all of my doctors/medical services that I dealt with. They took a lot of work that I thought I would have to handle and helped me every step of the way.

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

Debbie is the best. She is thorough, competent, ethical, principled - - and an amazing trial lawyer.
I suffered excruciating neck pain after being rear-ended by another motorist. Although the other driver was at fault, their insurance company dismissed my injuries because my car had suffered only minor damage. This meant my case had to go to jury trial. Debbie did such a superb job of presenting my case that the jury found in my favor and awarded me damages.
Debbie did an amazing job of representing me during trial. She was calm, polished and professional. She was incredibly well prepared and knew the case inside and out. She presented complex medical information in a way that was easy to understand. She kept me calm (not an easy task) and helped me through one of the most difficult situations I've ever had to face.

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.
If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.
When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?
Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:
- Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
- Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
- Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
- Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
- Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?
Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
- Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.
Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.
