Mr. Duvall made a real estate transaction possible when everyone else gave up. He makes it happen! The attorney at closing said, and I quote, "Thank god for Mr.Duvall "!. The deal went through and we sold the property. He has handled many cases for me and my family. All types of cases. I would give him 10 stars but it don't go that high. His staff works very hard to get your case ready. Very friendly and understanding.

Xander is my attorney and won a difficult battle against my family for my stake in my mother's estate. He has been a friend. A confidante. I will miss working with him on this year long battle.

Drafting this review is an absolute pleasure, given that my experience with this law firm is truly exceptional. Having collaborated with numerous attorneys throughout my career, I can confidently affirm that this firm stands head and shoulders above the rest. The professionalism, attentiveness, and communication exhibited by the team are truly outstanding. My primary interactions are with Alexander Berman, and I must express profound gratitude for his unparalleled level of care, service, and communication. A referral led me to him, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate for the recommendation. Alexander epitomizes exceptional service. Despite residing out of state and never having met him in person, I trust him with anything at this point! For those in search of a top-notch attorney, especially one who goes above and beyond, Alexander should undoubtedly be your choice. It's challenging to find adequate words to encapsulate the remarkable job he does. Working with a reliable attorney can be a rarity, but with Alexander, there is never a need to reach out for updates – he is always on top of everything. A truly remarkable professional.

TLDR; They got the job done, but that was about the extent of what they did. Only person I met in person was the secretary to pickup my check. I got recommended through family connections to Hyatt and Weber, and got my MCC personal injury case assigned to a partner at the firm. Im unsure if my experience is due solely to this specific partner and their assistant or as if this represents the firm as a whole. My experience started with a zoom call, when I was only about 2 weeks out of the hospital, during this zoom there was seemingly quite little concern for how I was doing and how I was feeling, didn’t feel very human, I was quickly told what to do and what not to do and what to send them, this zoom if I had to guess took all of 10-15 minutes. After this, I didn’t hear from them to my memory, at all until I asked about some medical bills I’d been sent, they quickly sent the hospital a “please wait” letter, then after that essentially nothing. They didn’t reach out to me at all until the other party’s insurance accepted to settle. Over a month with no status updates, being completely in the dark about anything was happening in the background, nothing, until I get an email telling me to sign a release of liability form. I then had a few more phone calls and email exchanges and then picked up my check, having never met the partner assigned to my case on their assistant, only momentarily walking in to ask the secretary for my check. Overall they did their job and got the other party to settle for policy limits in an admittedly (in my opinion, with no actual knowledge of what they did because I didn’t hear from them at all) cut and dry case of right of way. Now to the question of, do I feel like I got a service worth $33,484.55? No, at no point did I feel cared about, did I feel like I knew what was going on behind the scenes, at no point did I get to meet my attorney in person or their assistant, let alone any staff at the firm aside from the secretary momentarily to pick up my check. Once again, I will add, I’m completely unsure if this was just my experience with the specific partner I was assigned or if this can represent the whole firm, I would argue to say it was just the partner as I have heard good things about the firm before, and I even got recommended to them and told an attorney friend of mine who I was being represented by and they said I was in good hands. But did I feel I got any sort of outstanding A+ service? No. It was in a matter of words, utilitarian. They got the job done, and that was it. If you’re looking for a firm that simply gets stuff done, I’d say they can do it, but if you’re coming out of a personal injury event, especially one as physically and mentally traumatic as a motorcycle accident, I can’t say from my experience that I’d recommend them.

We worked with Shannon Hayden and I would strongly recommend her to my family and friends. She was attentive to deadlines she provided sage advice to keep our case on track. She delivered a win. I highly recommend this firm and specifically Shannon.

Jonathan Kagan did an excellent job handling reorganization of our LLC. Everything was explained clearly and completed in a very timely manner. Mr Kagan and his associate, Meagan Bogerson also recently helped me with the set up of a new business entity. They made a complex process easy for me to follow and got it all done accurately and expeditiously. I has been a pleasure to work with them.

Unfortunately, I had a horrible experience with Shannon Hayden an associate of this firm, that I will NEVER forget. This attorney was given the opportunity to represent my fathers probated estate in litigation where an unknown heir returned 18 years after his death, notice to unknown heirs, creditors and notice of appointment. During the pre-trial conference Shannon insisted that she contact the opposing party to log into zoom as the Judge grew impatient with their extreme tardiness. (Although she was told by one of the defendants that their intentions was not to show up). The mediator Judge was minutes away from making a decision/ruling. However, Shannon called the defendants and warned them of their time and assisted the defendants to login to the conference. In addition to explaining to the Judge a law pertaining to my case when an "unknown heir" isn't found during the probate process of an Estate. I informed Shannon, of my unhappiness with her representation and received a phone call at 1am leading into the next morning. (I didn't answer) I was then informed the following Monday, the need to withdraw as my counsel and I agreed. During the Estate trial litigation, Shannon request to withdraw from the case and went into a breakout room with a different Judge presiding over the case for at least 15 minutes. (unknown conversation) The trial ended in an unfavorable ruling and my father's estate was fumbled, the appeal was denied and now in the hands of a complete stranger. From my understanding a lawyer is to provide competent representation to their client and provide skillful representation to their CLIENT. Unfortunately, this did not occur. My new counsel tried calling Shannon several times for information on the case. Nonetheless, phone calls were ignored and never returned but Shannon has managed to stay updated with my case (although she withdrew from the case) to the point she emailed me a copy of the "Denied Appeal and Motion", obviously knowing the courts indeed sent a true copy to the home of the appellant. In my opinion to taunt me with the fact that I lost my fathers estate.

My husband was the victim of a vicious assault. State Attorney Shane Nolan was on top of my husband’s case and kept us informed throughout the process. Ms.Stephanie in the attorneys office followed up and reached out during this ordeal and at no point did I feel we weren’t a priority for them. While they take on an enormous amount of cases and I did have to follow up on some things, which we should also advocate and stay up to date on things and not let them take it all on , they did an incredible job and justice was served for my husband. I see some reviews that people didn’t get a phone call or an email. We never received anything in writing but again we the victims must advocate and do the work too, case search is free, the dockets are posted the day before and court dates can be found online, we can not expect the States Attorney’s office to be our personal assistant. Also for other victims please know you’re not alone the MD Crime Victims Resource Center was a great help as well in our case. The Anne Arundel County States Attorney’s Office did exceptional and we thank you!

Don't get robbed at gun point by a state attorneys father. They'll give you petty sentence instead of an apology. I got robbed of at least 1100.00 in tools, developed ptsd, got a 30 day sentence, one year probation, an appeal bond paid with no release of incarceration and no refund for that bond either. The guy even thanks his daughter (states attorney which I don't have to name), for the verdict in his victim advocate speech. I acquired testimony. It's all there! Sorry for giving one star on the review. This organization deserves less in my opinion.

We hired Lynn Krause to handle the purchase of our home in the Annapolis area. We were from New York. We were told we didn't need an attorney, but decided to hire one anyway. He performed a title search on our behalf and was supposed make sure there was a clean title on the home we were purchasing. NOT UNTIL WE WERE IN KRAUSE'S OFFICE IN ANNAPOLIS AT THE DAY OF THE CLOSING TO PURCHASE THE NEW HOME, DID HE TELL US THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TITLE. IT REVEALED THAT THE DRIVEWAY WAS ACTUALLY ABOUT 10 FEET ONTO THE NEIGHBORS PROPERTY! Krause never called to inform us of the defective title. After moving out of our apartment, we were in Lynn Krause's office at the closing and had to go through with the purchase since we had nowhere to live. We have since discovered the he was on the Board of Directors of the title company at that time. This seems like a conflict of interest. PS: It's about ten years since the purchase and we have been unable to sell the home because no one wants to buy it with this title issue.
