I worked with Bill Gibson and he was tenacious. My business had a customer who was refusing to pay but not giving any reason, he successfully escalated and resolved the issue, avoiding wasted time and expenses. Will gladly use their services again.

Super experience closing on my newly purchased home. The folks at Shulman Rogers - Ryan Malet and Monica Goyal - made it easy. They were also very patient, responsive and thorough in their work.
So glad I opted to work with them.

Really bad attitude. My spouse and I paid for Mr. Wood to represent him in a case during the pandemic. Mr. Wood never represented him court never showed up to any dates because of Covid there were many delays and case wasn’t presented to the courts until a year or so later. Mr. Wood got very irate and angry because he had to give back the money paid because he never represented my spouse in court. He was very pleasant when we were giving him our money but when it was time for us to get a refund he was yelling and cursing!!!!! Very rude and very prideful!!!! He knew he had no choice but to refund us and this made him
Very angry!!!!!!!!! He is very sneaky and shady!!!!!

Almost three years of giving me the run around regarding my case, Thomas contacted me the last week before the statue of limitations expired, and informed me that he couldn’t proceed with my case. I have sent him numerous emails and left him hundreds of voice mails but he never contacted me whatsoever. He only responded after I emailed him and informed him I was filing a complaint with the bar association (I have the paper work to prove my attempts to teach him and get an answer regarding my case).
Trust me, take your business elsewhere.

I've used this lawyer 3 or more times and every last time Upper Marlboro and Baltimore County dismissed my cases. He's one of the best lawyers in Upper Marlboro. My last case was a probation violation and he worked his magic, both cases were dismissed to include all monetary fines. I'm a free man thanks to Mr. John J. Pikulski, IV esq. Don't hesitate to call this lawyer for assistance. D.L. Sanders

I have the pleasure of working with Mr. Brown during my Divorce trial, and I must say, it was an excellent experience. He represented me exceptionally well, demonstrating a profound understanding of the law and skillfully advocating for my interests. If you're in search of an attorney who communicates effectively and provides strong representation during challenging times, I highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Brown.

I have TWICE now called upon this Law firm. Both times I spoke with Ron Katz. I was having an issue with a different law firm. Ron called them on my behalf and within an hour I received a phone call. The issue was taken care of immediately. The same Law firm I am still stuck with has been dragging their feet on my issue again. I called Ron, he explained what steps need to be taken to get a fair and equitable resolution. I now have enough information to educate my own Lawyer who was supposed to take care of my case and has proven weak and ineffective. Thanks to Joel L Katz LLC and Ron Katz I know what needs to be done and I have a plan of action. I should have never hired the other Lawyer! The Katz law firm is responsive, aggressive and has your best interest at hand.

I highly recommend Attorney Pawnee Davis for any child custody or child support matters. She was incredibly patient, detail-oriented, and thorough throughout the entire process. Attorney Davis consistently responded to my questions quickly, ensuring I felt informed and supported every step of the way.
Despite the challenges posed by a difficult opposing party, she successfully protected my custody arrangement, allowing me to keep my son in a stable environment. She also ensured that child support remained in place, which was critical for my son's well-being.
Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares about achieving the best outcome for your family, Pawnee Davis is the one to call!

My experience with the PA Davis Law Office has been excellent! Ms. Davis and her team provided invaluable assistance in updating a joint custody agreement while serving overseas in the military. Navigating the complexities of military service and updating a legal custody agreement could have been incredibly challenging, but Ms. Davis and her team handled it with expertise and professionalism. I had reached out to several attorneys, but due to the unique circumstances of my case and where i was stationed, they were unable to assist. Being from Maryland, I was relieved to find that the PA Davis Law Office team had the necessary expertise as they cover the DC/MD/VA area. The initial communication was a bit challenging because of the time zone difference pertaining to the update of the case, but Ms. Sofia and the team were extremely patient and understanding, which I really appreciated. I am grateful to Ms. Davis for taking on my case and to the entire team for their dedication and support throughout the process.

A Miracle in Baltimore City: Our Journey to the Right Educational Support
Our story began in 2021 when we relocated from New Mexico to Baltimore City during the height of the pandemic. We were in search of educational and health services for our five-year-old daughter who is on the autism spectrum and has special needs. As physicians, balancing both the stresses of the pandemic and the complications of the educational system was a struggle. Our frustration grew when we couldn't get our daughter screened for Kindergarten through the Child Find Office, and after several disheartening interactions, we were unsure of where to turn.
That's when we reached out to the office of Mark Martin and connected with the remarkable Alexandra Rosenblatt. From that moment on, things began to shift. Alexandra was a beacon throughout the long and difficult road. She attended every step of our IEP development, providing insight, advocacy, and unwavering support. Her approachable nature made it easy for us to ask questions, and she was always ready with answers and a clear plan forward. Alexandra guided us through what often felt like an impossible maze of bureaucracy.
After two turbulent years, we finally achieved a breakthrough, our daughter secured placement in a non-public school that meets her unique needs, complete with a comprehensive ABA program. This was no small victory, and we know that none of this would have been possible without Alexandra’s expertise and dedication. We had been prepared to relocate to another state in search of better services, but her involvement ensured that our daughter could thrive right here in Baltimore City, where families of children with special needs face uphill battles.
We are forever grateful for Alexandra's role in this miracle.

A federal indictment should be soon for this office for the amount of money stolen from their clients. This office represented my wife grandfather personal injury and wrongful death case. Peter was hired in December 1996, a year after opening this firm. My wife father died from asbestos lung cancer in 2003. Sadly, the estate only saw 100k over the past 20 year and her grandfather never received the settlement money neither did she or her grandmother who are both named in his Will. To this day, this office is sending small checks to the estate but have claimed over 40 million of dollars from the companies trust funds in relations to the injuries and deaths of their clients.

Highly Recommend Alexandra Rosenblatt for Special Needs Lawyer
I highly recommend Alexandra Rosenblatt (Allie) to anyone looking for an attorney to advocate for a child with special needs.
My daughter, who has a diagnosed cognitive disability requiring specialized teaching, was struggling in school. Despite the clear necessity for a specialized placement, the IEP team was refusing to place her in the appropriate school.
After trying to advocate for my daughter in two different counties in Maryland for three years—with no success—I contacted Allie. From the moment she took on our case, things began to change. With Allie’s help, we were finally able to secure a placement for my daughter at a non-public school that caters to her unique needs.
Allie was upfront with the facts and had a deep understanding of the challenges we were facing. She guided me through the system and helped me understand the process, especially when I felt frustrated and lost. As both a lawyer and a mother, she truly understood our situation and the urgency of our needs.
She was always accessible for questions, and if she wasn't available, her assistant, Demetria, was quick to step in and schedule a meeting. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for Allie’s expertise and support. I highly recommend her and her law office to any parent navigating the complex special education system.

Our experience with Roland Brown was similar to a few other reviews of some bad experiences had by hiring Roland Brown. They were all beyond accurate in their statements. Mr. Brown talks a great game about what he can do for you, but does not deliver on his promises or his word. Roland Brown was paid in full (5 figures), which was definitely a waste of money, might as well have flushed the money down the toilet. And trying to make contact with him or have him to make contact with the family or his client, was totally USELESS! The couple of times that he did visit our family member, I believe he was there to see someone else and decided to grace our family member with his presence, which was only to tell him that he did not have his laptop and would come back to discuss his case, of course he never returned. The only time that our family member saw Roland Brown was in court and there were several postponements due to Roland Brown not being available, like going to Las Vegas with no prior notice that he would not be present in court, so of course, there was another postponement. Roland Brown was given evidence for the trial which actually sat in his briefcase for days before he had to be reminded that he had it. What good attorney forgets that he was given evidence! He then tried to look at the evidence which turned out to be garbage and could not be reviewed by his office. The evidence had to be requested again and that took months, another postponement! More time wasted! And trying to make contact with Roland Brown was so frustrating, we would leave messages and send emails and the response from his office would be that "the information would be forwarded to Roland Brown" and the family and his client, our family member would hear nothing from him. Roland Brown would also set up appointments to discuss the case with the family and would be a no show, with a call while we are at his office waiting for him, that something came up and he could not make it! This happened on several occasions! Roland Brown has not only missed multiple appointments with the family, he has missed multiple appointments with his client, our family member. Additionally, Roland Brown was made aware of another suspect in my family members case and he just sat on the information and never brought it up in court. This information could have helped our family member with his case! Roland Brown has clients that he works much much harder for. I say this to say that if you want an attorney that will work hard for your family member and honor the oath that he took, DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!! If you are NOT one of his special clients, prepare to go to jail.

Was inexperienced with my case, took my money and didn’t hear from him again until the day of court, only to find out he was requesting a postponement due to his license being suspended. When he did come to court the next scheduled time, he threw together his argument 15 mins before the court time. Ineffective communication, you have to chase him down to get a response and he half way explains what’s going on. Please, don’t make the mistake I made. Hire someone else

Do not hire this attorney or this law firm. I hired Mr. Bender for a
medical malpractice case he completely misrepresented himself
and his abilities. He never gave a monthly accounting of fees.
He said he had forty years experience yet could not handle the defense at trial.
He did not have any support staff. Very low budget law firm.

This place doesn’t want to help those in serious accidents that matter for customers. First off the receptionist in the front desk Kim is very rude, unprofessional and doesn’t like returning calls. The lawyer himself Jeffery talks a big game about helping and fighting for the clients but he doesn’t!!!! He looks for his money only for the law-firm and five other more money just for being refurred to them, more than the person that’s being handled on the case. Nobody returns calls until they get annoyed by the client/clients!! I can recall calling 4 times in one day just to hear back for information then waited additional 15 till they can to the phone. I wouldn’t recommend anyone using him for help. There’s no real justice dealing with him except laying him off and making him look good when truly he’s not!!!! And he take weeks to resolve issues and get any updates on what’s happening with the case.

Do not waste your time dealing with these people. They are only out for their selves and are very selfish. They do not care about my concerns about my recent case and aren't fighting hard enough. I rather deal with another attorney than them. Was referred by the wrong person anyway!!!!!! By the way Kim (at the front desk) is very rude and unprofessional! Donna (the other woman who works there) is the only person who is nice and seems to care. Jeff Miller (the actual attorney) is BS he will look you in the face and act he cares but really doesn't. DO NOT COME HERE.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
