Max and Luke represented me and was able to get the case dismissed. These two knew the amount of back up time I was facing and said we got you. They did just that and I am so grateful. Thank you so much!

First and foremost, the reviews are real! I called late one evening, needing a lawyer to represent me in my situation. From day one, I felt heard and supported. Mr. Woods took my case, and he is great to work with! Answered every question I had, took his time to listen, and understand my situation. I was treated as an individual and felt heard, something I appreciated every step along the way.
He's got tons of experience and knows his stuff. He was able to get my case dismissed. He's very reasonably priced.
Definitely take the opportunity and give this firm a call!

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. I am very thankful for the careful attention that they gave to my case, and feel certain that if I had used another lawyer that I would not have had the same amazing service and results I had with them.

We could not have chosen a better attorney to help us navigate through a difficult process. Bob took great care to answer our many questions and did an excellent job in explaining the stressful court process. We truly feel that he was instrumental in bringing the best resolution to our case.

Attorney Darrell Robinson was not only my ex-husband, but he was a great attorney. He has actually represented me on two civil cases and I received a verdict in my favor both times. There is one thing I could say about him...he was a powerhouse in the court room. He built several strong relationships with officials in several jurisdictions. He would always give everything he had in making sure the outcome was in his client's favor. Attorney Darrell Robinson passed away in 2022. I will forever be grateful.

Hey I’m writing this review in reference to an outstanding phenomenal attorney Darrel Robinson!!! I met Darrel by chance and I can honestly say it has been one of my best relationships yet. Not only is he my attorney, he has become a mentor and great friend to me as well. That’s just some insight on what kind of a guy you would be dealing with if you decide to choose him. Darrel represented me in a civil matter and he did an amazing job. He brings the energy and tenacity that would satisfy anyone that he services. I witnessed him dispose an officer in an impeccable manner, one would say that it was unbelievable. I have the upmost respect for Darrell Robinson and I recommend him to anyone. Not only did we receive the judgement we deserved we also got a little bit more. If there’s anyone one who needs an attorney Darrel Robinson is the guy.

Wow! We met by coincidence and he was the very man that I needed. He is naturally confident and assertive for one thing, like most attorneys I’ve seen, but he is just the same on the floor: telling qualities of a master at his craft. I am a natural skeptic, so I appreciated most his knowledge of the law and my rights; but, his forthright honesty about the outcome is what earned my immediate respect. More to the point, remember the saying, “He acts as his own lawyer, and has a fool for a client?” I was that guy. I also witnessed the day of my sentencing, slack jawed and horrified, what happens to that guy, for a jailable offense; with the right judge, on the wrong day *cringe.* Then I witnessed, immediately afterwards, what happens when you have a good attorney...... Good defense, good results. THEN, there was us. Attorney Robinson is respected, connected and downright brilliant. Ten minutes in, I was out - free to cry myself all the way to bible study, having been both blessedly unburdened and deeply humbled. Unbelievable. I rest my case.

Price Benowitz is a firm of legal miracle workers! My attorney Matt Davey consistently exercised the highest level of integrity, dedication to the best possible outcome for me as a client and persistence in making sure the firm's intended outcome became a reality, even when I wasn't convinced it could be achieved. I highly recommend Price Benowitz and particularly the team of Matt Davey to any personal injury victim seeking excellent representation. Joan

Mr.Davey is one Hell of a lawyer! He fought tirelessly to get the maximum available settlement for me. There is a HUGE difference between what the insurance co WANTED to give me and what Mr.Davey actually GOT me. I can't imagine the # of hours that were put in to fight for my proper settlement.

Matt is a great lawyer period! When he took over my case it was just a few months from the SOL and I was very worried about that, Matt assured me that he would handle everything and handle it he did. He answered every single question I had (no matter how dumb) in a timely matter he didn't hesitate to email or call me back the same day! When it was time to negotiate with the insurance company Matt kept me on top of every single detail, and phone conversation. Matt truly seems to care about his clients, he doesn't just treat you like "a number" like some lawyer's and firm's do. Matt went well above my expectations. After my case settled I had some personal bills that I needed to get paid and Matt made arrangements to have my check hand delivered to me instead of mailing it and having to wait longer for it to arrive and clear so I was able to get those bills paid. Matt is not only a great lawyer but hes just a pleasure to deal with as well, he made a very stressful situation very easy to deal with and understand. I highly recommend if you need a lawyer. Call Matthew Davey!

I had actually hired another lawyer to pleade my case. My lawyer thought it would be best to bring in "the expert" and that was Mr. Zuber. My family had just sufferred a major tragedy and he was always so calm in getting us through it. I now live in North Carolina and our lawsuit was finalized 9 years ago. I still call on a Phil when I need a referral for an attorney in my state. He is the best, so I know he knows the best. Mr. Zuber was also facing a family tragedy at the time our lawsuit was going on. I didn't even know about it until our case was over. His compassion was always for us, not for himself. I recommend anyone I know in the Maryland area to use him. I will be forever grateful for helping us make the best out of such a terrible life changing event.

My family and I had the pleasure of having Mr. Zuber handle a very emotional case for us. He is a sensitive, caring, personable human being who we would highly recommend to anyone needing an attorney. He and his assistant, Joan, are extremely professional and quick to respond to any questions, needs, or concerns. Thank you Phil and Joan for helping us through a difficult process.

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 had an excellent experience with Mr. Stevens. My case had a lot of twists and turns, but I found Mr. Stevens to be patient, thorough, and focused on the goal. Mr. Stevens' extensive legal expertise combined with his calm and understanding demeanor, provided me with comfort and reassurance throughout the process. I got more than I even expected to get in the end and I'm forever grateful. Many thanks to Mr. Stevens and his team.

- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.

- Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
- Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
