This men is a Hero he saved me from conviction after I made myself guilty… Who else other then Patrick PRELLER the number 1 Defense attorney.

"I want to express my deepest gratitude to Jeremy Elderidge for his exceptional representation in my recent case. I was facing a charge of driving on a suspended license, but Jeremy's thorough preparation, keen legal insights, and persuasive arguments in court led to a not guilty verdict. His dedication, responsiveness, and compassion throughout the process made a difficult situation much more manageable. I wholeheartedly recommend Jeremy to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation."

I was in a car accident that was the fault of a distracted lawyer. I was moderately injured and my car significantly damaged. I was advised to contact an attorney to get back my sick leave pay and damages for my car. D'Amore got much more than I asked for and did a fantastic job with my claim. Highly recommended!

Rus Kondratyuk and his team at D'Amore handled my lawsuit following a car accident. Their professionalism and expertise throughout the process (which was long... more 1.5 years) was extremely helpful and reassuring. I'm thankful I had them to turn to when I didn't know where to begin. I felt listened to and supported and was ultimately pleased with the outcome.

A Super Star of Attorneys!!
I truly recommend Ms. Raysor-Taylor. My divorce proceedings, before obtaining her, was a stressful and full of anxiety. As soon as she entered the room, the stress disappeared. With over 30 years of experience and her vast legal background, from the start to finish, she was outstanding. She remained engaged and responsive to all my questions and needs. She demonstrated a high level of knowledge of law, one could say even more so than the judge, in my case. She examines the case from all angles in an effort to determine the most suitable approach and is extremely honest and forth coming about the realty of your case. She was always available to talk things through. I am truly grateful and I greatly appreciate her services.

I’m so glad I chose Josephia Law. I’ve been in divorce proceedings for over a year now. And every step of the way the people at Josephia Law have been prompt, professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. The attorney on my case is Massa Massaquoi-King. I’m lucky to have her on my case. She is very knowledgeable and experienced. She’s also very attentive, I don’t have to explain things more than once and she will let me know the best way we should proceed.
Not only is she great at her job, she really cares. Up until recently, my wife was not allowing me to take my son to see my family without her. Recently at the merits hearing for my divorce case, Massa displayed her knowledge and experience in that courtroom. The judge gave an order so that I can spend more time with my son on a schedule. Coincidentally, outside the courtroom my 3 year old son was waiting for us to finish. I picked him up and my son and I both thanked Massa because it was going to be the first time he was going to be able to spend with me and my side of the family for the weekend. It was an emotional moment for all 3 of us outside that courtroom.
If you feel you have been taken advantage of or feel helpless in your situation and need someone to fight for you, I’d call Josephia Law.

DON'T GET SCAMMED!
Before I signed on with this firm I talked to Ms Rouse and explained my financial situation. She assured me that I wouldn't have to constantly dump money into my trust (which was a lie). After giving them 10k with no results, they droped me because I couldn't afford to give them $2500 for an upcoming court date. I went with another lawyer who handled my case for $1500 with excellent results. When my new lawyer reviewed what was previously done, he found several documents were filed incorrectly and I was charged each time they had to resubmit them. Mass King is a joke! She showed up to a virtual hearing looking very unkept (with 6 month old box braids). I was embarrassed. There were several reviews about how this firm takes people money and literally drop them right before court. I wonder why you can't see them anymore......

Thank you Jenner Law for working expeditiously in presenting my late father's cause of death as a possible Camp Lejeune water contamination death. Turns out it was exactly that. Although the government worked slowly, Jenner stayed on top of it until we received our settlement. They made it easy for us, even though the topic was emotional. I appreciate not having to worry about funds until everything was over. It made this possible. Chelsea was so on top of things and answer every question, addressed any concerns, and did so in a very timely manner.

I was pretty hurt, scared and confused when it came to my case and the process of it. I had many questions and never felt like a burden. The team was always there to answer my questions and made me feel important and valued as a person. They always answered the phone or at least got back to me as quickly as possible. I felt peace during the case knowing that Jenner law especially Katie Kerner had my best interest in mind. We had a goal in mind and reached that goal quickly and with a good outcome. Jenner law fought hard for me and I am impressed with their knowledge, professionalism, and kindness. They have truly made a huge impact on my life. Thank you Katie and thank you Jenner Law

My name is Eva Dittrich. 68 years old am a survivor of sexual abuse at the hand of a Catholic Priest, at a very young age. Now, decades after the fact, the Child Victims Act was signed into law. This law lifted the Statute of Limitation that the Archdiocese of Baltimore cowardly hide behind to avoid justice to survivors. After researching many Law Firms found the Jenner Law Group. From the beginning of our contract found the entire staff to be a
brilliant, compassionate, legal representation of my complaint.
They along with the collaboration of other top legal Colleagues , handed me my day in court. I stood two feet from Archbishop William Lori, looking him straight in the eye and finally stated my complaint.
It was the single , most DYNAMIC tool for my recovery.
I chose WISELY !!!!

This family crisis was a big one for me & my family to get through but he professionally talked and lead our family every step of the way even when we were anxious and unsure he exuded in confidence what to expect and what the journey was going to look like! As he would say “trust the process” with trusting the process I trusted his guidance thank you Mr. Rob for your do diligence my husband was facing 5 years and you represented his character so well that the judge only seen fit to reduce his sentence to one year. That was a blessing thank you again for your help!

After suffering an unfortunate car accident in January 2021, I ended up having to need a lawyer to help my case. I originally started out with another law firm, whom I shall not name, but I will say that, had it not been for Greenberg Law, I don't think I would have ANY peace of mind or any satisfaction with my accident case. Although my case lasted only a year, it was mentally, physically, and emotionally, a rollercoaster for me. Greenberg Law picked up the broken pieces and was able to give me another fresh start. This was my first accident where I needed a lawyer and I don't think I could have chosen a better law firm. Having the pleasure of working with Matthew Rogers, who was the attorney that handled my case, and Michelle Christian, who was the paralegal assigned, I was nothing but happy. I also had the liberty of meeting Michele Greenberg, whom is the office manager at Greenberg Law. Everyone was clear, transparent, honest, and understanding. I would like to thank EVERYONE at Greenberg Law, and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who needs their cases solved right.

On September 16, 2017, I was involved in a serious accident when I was knocked off of my bicycle by a tram which then ran over my leg. I was flown to Shock Trauma where I remained for one and a half months. In talking with other lawyers who did not want to take the case, I was referred to Mr. Larry Greenburg. He was very honest and from the beginning he told me it was going to be a difficult case to win because of Maryland’s Contributory Negligence Law. However, he and his team worked tirelessly from the beginning and guided me step by step to get the best outcome. His legal skill was impressive, but just as important was that he was supportive and truly cared about me. Mr. Greenburg was a calming and confident presence throughout the entire process, which lasted five years due to COVID. His firm is family oriented, and they were all involved in the case. Everyone involved was equally competent and professional and I always felt they would do everything they could to get to get the best result for me. Mr. Greenberg deposed many people for the case, and I was truly impressed with how thoroughly prepared and competent he was. After that I was confident that the outcome would be just and fair, which it was. Lastly, I would highly recommend the Greenburg Law Firm to anyone looking for a lawyer. They invest in their clients and are thorough in their work, going above and beyond to ensure a favorable resolution. Larry Greenberg was not only an amazing lawyer, he also became my friend.

Dear Mr. Robinson,
I wanted to write you a brief statement of commendation for the handling of my DUI case and for the benefit of others seeking a DUI lawyer. For the benefit of others, you WANT to hire this DUI firm! They are the BEST by far in the State of Maryland!
I am a pilot and REQUIRED a favorable outcome in my DUI to not only continue driving but to continue flying. Bruce took my case and assured me that everything would be worked out successfully. He said if there is a problem in court, his firm will continue to fight for me until we get the required result.
We went to District Court in Baltimore County and Mr. Robinson tried my case. He advised me ahead of time that we had an unfavorable and very harsh judge but that he would fight the case for me at trial regardless. He tried the case as promised and we did not obtain the result that I needed to continue my flying career. I was very concerned for my future and the next sequence of events to follow. Mr. Robinson assured me that this can happen with difficult judges but that he would continue to fight my case in the Circuit Court of Appeals.
Mr. Robinson explained all the options in my very delicate and complicated situation as a pilot. Ultimately, I picked an avenue that worked best for me and Mr. Robinson's firm actually got the case EXPEDITED on the Circuit court docket and got the EXACT result that I needed, thereby protecting my future.
Mr. Robinson's firm also went beyond the call of duty and dealt with Maryland's MVA as well as my out of state MVA to clear up issues there as well. The paralegal Melissa knows exactly what she is doing with various legalities and MVA situations. She gets things done! She is very knowledgeable, thorough, responsive and extremely efficient. Melissa continued to support my efforts even when I returned home out of state. She never left any of my concerns unanswered. Melissa is a very valuable part of the Robinson and Associates team.
I recommend this firm to whoever is looking for a DUI lawyer because the DUI TEAM at Robinson and Associates will go the extra mile to get the job done correctly. They have a friendly and supportive staff and they do what they say they will do. If you have a lot riding on the outcome of your DUI…HIRE THIS FIRM! This is the easiest call to make for a very serious situation. I have been where you are at now! CALL NOW!!!

I'm not much for words. I was hit head on in a car accident. The car involved hit two other cars plus mines. Thank the most highly that it wasn't as bad as it could have been for me. But besides all of this. What was a most comforting thing for me. Is that ROBINSON AND ASSOCIATES. NEVER LEFT MY SIDE. THEY Wrote or either called me simply to ask how I was FEELING...Those simple things made me feel Wonderful. They were like family simply just checking up on me. THEY NEVER NOT ONCE LEFT MY SIDE. I just wish to take this time to say THANK YOU. ROBINSON AND ASSOCIATES.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
