I am glad that I chose Frank to represent me in court. Frank and Jen were easy to work with and they provided exceptional legal expertise. Since they are local, they know the DA, judges, and police officers and work with them during your representation. They made me feel comfortable, were highly responsive to my emails and calls, and provided unwavering dedication to my case. I trust them and highly recommend Mr. Benvenuto!

Completely out of the blue unexpected embarrassing traumatic arrest in OCMD for charge(s) from a 'Karen-in-training' (my words) making a mountain of a molehill. Regardless, Ms. Furbay and Mr. Benvenuto were extremely helpful via phone and email despite me being several states away and my great apprehensiveness about everything. It took a lot of time and extra money but Mr. Benvenuto successfully got me PBJ unsupervised probation without basically nothing on my record going forward. Thank you!! :)

Jen and Frank were great! They helped me through the process in which I've never been in trouble with law before. Frank helped me get the charges down to small payment and unsupervised probation. Definitely recommended him he knows his stuff!!

“I found this firm through a referral from another client and I’m so glad I did. This was my first accident, so I didn’t know what to expect or how to handle the situation. From the start, their team provided clear, helpful guidance, making a complex process much easier to understand. They connected me with excellent medical providers who were compassionate and skilled, which made a real difference in my recovery. I’m very happy with the outcome of my case and feel that I was in good hands every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs support and professional care during a challenging time!”

I was rear ended very badly one night on my way home and the injuries that I sustained from this accident changed my body in ways that are permanent. I had a prior experience in a bodily injury claim in the early 2000s so I was a bit familiar with the process, but this experience was next level for me. Mr. Bergman and his team were wonderful in their referrals for the medical help that I desperately needed. Being that I am an older man now, my body does not bounce back as quickly as it did 20 years ago. The person that hit me had a minimum policy and my injuries were greater than that. Thankfully, I have a better policy with my own insurance, and Mr. Bergman was able to get all the money available in both policies to compensate me for my injuries, pain and suffering. I am very confident in Mr. Bergman’s skills in getting the job done and I am very appreciative to him for such wonderful results in my case. I would highly recommend to him to anyone that has been in an accident. Mr. Bergman and his team were always very responsive to my questions and had great communication with me throughout my process and even took my calls outside of business hours. Thank you!

I was in bad MVA where I was hit in an intersection for someone running a red light. The accident changed my life because it caused me to need surgery on my knee and I have never had any issues with my knee. Unfortunately, the policy limit of this person was not enough to cover my surgery so Mr. Bergman recommended me take the policy limit available and get surgery when I have health insurance so it’s not coming out of my pocket or settlement for pain and suffering. Thankfully, Mr. Bergman, with his aggressive attitude and fierce poker face got the insurance company to fold and hand over the entire policy and I am walking away with more than half of the settlement that was given. I am very grateful to Mr. Bergman and his team for getting me all the money on the table and resolving my case in under a years time. They told me cases can take a year or longer but he got mine done in 8 months due to my damages. I highly recommend Mr. Bergman and his team, they are fantastic

So I called this place to see about getting my record expunged. I had tried earlier this year and was denied but the new act came into affect in October. But he knew what was allowed already. I was told it would be 150 bucks to see if I could. I told him what my charge was. He got the money and in less then a day calls back and says no it's not. Here's the thing. He was reading off Maryland judiciary case search as we talked. That was the research. He knew my charge. The rest didn't matter. He knew it wasn't available to be expunged. But all u got to do is play dumb and make an EASY 150 bucks. If u r calling here about expunging ur record, first off don't unless u know it can be. Google it. If it says ur charge can be go to the court house u went to when charged, pay 30 bucks and do it urself. If it can they will do it. U don't need representation. It's a gimmick. And I was played. So two days of work down the drain so someone with money could just do this. Instead of being honest and from the start saying, no, that charge isn't allowed. Pretty low honestly lol. I should have known better. But I always look for good in ppl and that's on me. So again don't pay 150 for "research" that doesn't happen. They just need to know ur charge, THATS IT. Plus the other 350 to file lmao. It's LITERALLY 30 bucks at the court house. Then u get a letter. Again, SAVE UR MONEY.

I contacted Frank after I was charged with a DWI in the Maryland area based on a recommendation from a friend. Frank accepted my call and immediately provided counseling on the process and what to expect even before I had hired him. It was my first charge of any kind and Frank was able to ease my concerns from the first time we spoke. He gave me suggestions of next steps I should follow to enroll in an alcohol awareness program and voluntarily agree to installing an Interlock device. Because of COVID delays, my trial did not occur for six months after the charge. Frank kept me updated throughout the period before my trial and provided excellent counseling on steps I should take in preparation for my court date. He was able to negotiate a PBJ recommendation with the state attorney and the Judge accepted the agreement. I contacted Frank several times after my trial with questions and he even provided counsel regarding a job situation three years later. I highly recommend Frank for any DUI or legal issues you may have.

21 Sep, 2023 by Tim

Frank from the initial consult held me accountable for my actions that resulted in the DUI charge. Granted for some people it may have truly been a bad decision and a one time mistake. But, for me Frank really helped me realize that I have a drinking problem. I went through the recommended drug and alcohol course, the victim impact, and got sober. He does not accept all his cases, and I can respect that because he has to believe in the person as well when he looks at the judge and states your plea. Very open and always available for a phone call or an in-person review of your paperwork. Spent hours with me and watched all the police body cam videos. Knew the prosecution and was able to negotiate a lower incarceration time. Which is always a good thing. Frank's pricing was a bit on the mid to high range of DUI lawyers, but I am very happy to have chosen him as my lawyer in this matter.

Mr Dolan is an outstanding Lawyer. He communicates extremely well and doesn’t pull punches. The advice he gave me in my most difficult and challenging times was spot on. The way he projected things to end up is the exact way they ended up. What I liked most about Mr Dolan is he never judged me nor made me feel uncomfortable. In fact he encouraged me to not let my indiscretion defined me. His litigation in court on my behalf,, in my mind was perfect and to be frank. It was unbelievable.

24 Sep, 2024 by George

He was straight forward and easy to talk too. Handle my business fast and efficient. Well worth the money.

Mr. Dolan is a genuine, caring and professional attorney. He made me feel comfortable and reassured me with me concerns. He helped me out tremendously and I would not think to recommend anyone else. You are in good hands with Doug.

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.

Mr. Murphy and his paralegal Jacqueline Link took great care of me and fought to get me everything they could through this process I’d give them 10 gold stars if I could.

What an amazing Attorney Andrew Alpert is. He went out of his way to deal with my 2nd DUI case and handled it in such a compassionate way like it had happened to his own family member. His Team members (specially Keri & Sandy), and him guided me every step of the way for last 8 months before appearing for the trial. Andrew Alpert is extremely knowledgeable and confident. His patience is really a virtue in my case, what an admirable quality. I was really panic and worried. Andrew Alpert went above and beyond to resolve the case in my favor, the outcome, just Probation Before Judgement. Just don’t forget that what you could face in MD for 2nd DUI. Mr. Alpert took me under his wing and showed the court and society the mistake I made do not reflect who I am as a person. Him & his team’s dedication to my case was beyond my expectations. What a caring, compassionate, sympathetic and over all, extremely knowledgeable Person Andrew Alpert is. He is a miracle! There is just no better Lawyer to have on your side through out the process. Look no where else, just call his team.

Don’t waist your time with these people. All they care about is money, not your case. We went initially asking to help my husband file a petition for me. She automatically said to file for a parole in place knowing it was on hold. Wasting our money. Now that the parole in place is on hold she called to tell us to apply for a permanent card through marriage (which is my we originally went for). When we asked what would happen and that we would loose over $3,000.00 she closed her folder and got up and said thank you for coming and dismissed us. Angry, because she wanted us to pay for money. This morning my mom husband got a bank alert from his bank. He had gotten a withdrawal from this firm that was never authorized. He paid for the consultation and they got his card information from that one time payment. They have my information but decided to charge him instead. They are an absolute FRAUD. Stay away from this so what called law firm.

Lee helped me immensely through a very difficult and new experience. My case was due to negligence on a medical professionals part and I was unsure if I should move forward with this case. Lee did not push me into this suit but listened to my case and simply stated he would take it on. He didn’t leadme to believe it was a fast and easy win yet he definitely made me feel validated. Lee answered every question within a reasonable amount of time. He stayed in contact with me letting me know next steps throughout this 22 month process. I found him to be personable and explained everything in layman’s terms. He guided me yet let me make my own decisions. He wasn’t pushy and really listened to my concerns. He didn’t hurry me off the phone or out of his office. He honestly took the necessary time to explain things and wasn’t pushy in his advice. And again, he really listened to my fears and concerns and gave great feedback, even if it was feedback I wasn’t ready to hear. He approached it professionally and honestly. I’m glad I listened to Lee and glad he took my case

The outcome of my case was so favorable it’s almost as if she had scripted it! Attorney Sei-Hee Arii has a 360 degree bird’s eye view of the legal system and the courtroom.I was facing very serious charges with almost certain jail time if convicted. I initially thought of defending myself but my family compelled me to seek council. I reached out to Attorney Arii the day before my 1st trial date (don’t be like me, make contact now) and requested her counsel. She was extremely understanding, honest about the situation and the possible outcomes but above all VERY RESPONSIVE! I immediately knew I was in good hands and could trust her. Best decision I’ve ever made! In court she laid out a multi-point strategy that accounted for every possible scenario the prosecutor or judge could present and sure enough it went as she planned. During court I witnessed someone with an almost identical case as mine (yet with a better driving record) be found guilty and sentenced to jail time, however Miss Arii got ALL of my charges DISMISSED! I went home a free man! I am extremely grateful! Miss Arii’s great reviews are one of the reasons I chose her as counsel and I’m proud to now add my own testimony of how effective, resourceful and dedicated she is as a lawyer. Thank you Attorney Arii!

Carol was the first lawyer I ever hired. She was truly interested in my case and compassionate. Making the decision to divorce someone you still care about is hard enough, and not knowing what to expect compounds the situation. When I would get tearful, Carol was very support and inquired as to why I was emotional and would talk with me about why I wanted the divorce in the first place which helped me stay focused and keep my wits about me. She made the process of my divorce easy. I was glad to have her by my side. Thank you, Carol! Barb

Adam made the closing process incredibly easy. Prior to my closing, Peak Settlements was very communicative, ensuring I had all the necessary documents, signatures, and information. They were responsive through emails, moved quickly, and answered all of my questions. Adam checked in with me prior to the closing and made sure I was all set with everything that I needed to have, including knowing exactly where I was going. During the closing itself, Adam had all the necessary paperwork ready and organized and as a first time homebuyer, he went through all the items carefully with me making sure that I understood everything I was signing and encouraged me to reach out if I had any additional questions. He moved through the documents efficiently and created a welcoming and jovial environment that made the whole process easy. I would recommend Peak Settlements and Adam to anyone and everyone.

Do not ever, and I mean ever, retain Ms. Pentecost as your lawyer. She knew her client was being held without bond since November. The client's court date was on 1/3, but she forgot, went out of town, and never told her client. Instead, she put in a motion to continue on 12/27 and filed it while she was out of town. The client found out from the CO that she was not going to court. The new court date is not until 2/6. This is ridiculous. I don’t know how she can call herself an attorney. Attorneys should not take clients if they’re not going to do their job. Cared noting about her client this has got to stop!!!

I’m not going to lie this was not my ideal way to start the holiday festivities! I really got myself into serious trouble and was scared to death. I contacted Mr Maronick after being referred and reading reviews. We went into court and I was facing jail time but Mr. Maronick fought until the end in front of a very difficult judge and I ended up with no jail time and a very good outcome. Long story short if you hire him he will not disappoint. He is very blunt and straight to the point but fought every step of the way. Thank you for everything!

Mr. Schmieler carefully listened to the facts during our consultation and agreed to take my case. As the case progressed, Mr. Schmieler remained steadfastly focused on the evidence and how it intersected with the law. He not only reviewed documents I provided, but also conducted his own research into previous cases regarding the situation and formulated a comprehensive perspective based on the other party’s history. His persistent and careful consideration of the entire situation reassured me that our case was solid. Although we haven’t yet finished at this point, he managed my expectations to the length of time it would take to resolve. His approach to information gathering and client relations speak to his experience. I am also impressed by his team, all of which are knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and professional. I intend to retain him for all future issues.

The Saunders and Schmieler Law Firm used their knowledge and experience to produce a settlement agreement that I was comfortable with. I highly recommend The Saunders and Schmieler Law Firm, they get favorable results.

My wife and I are grateful for your work and we will never forget it. Your team delivered results in what seemed to be a hopeless situation. You all are the best. After hundreds of hours of fighting, we are finally going to fix our house. Couldn't have done it without you. The bottom line is, we needed you and your team to get this done.

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.

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.
