I usually don’t write reviews but this law firm group deserves it. Shout out to Jeffrey Solof as he was my lawyer in my auto accident case. He was very transparent and informative during the whole process. Honestly I don’t know where to start and that’s exactly why I commend this law firm group and Solof, My significant other reached out to them and they handled it from there, I didn’t expect to get closure from that traumatic experience and because of them I have! Physical therapy was great and I have received my settlement check in the mail today. Thank you very much again Jeffrey Solof and Rice, Murtha & Psoras, LLC
Sincerely, Alexsandro Portillo

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.

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.

Linda, Matt, and the rest of the team were extremely helpful with helping me navigate probate for two estates, simultaneously. If you have never had to be an Executor or Personal Representative of an estate, you should seek assistance. There are many tasks that need to be completed and you do not want to make what could be lasting mistakes. Linda and her team were very patient with me and provided answers to all my questions. I would recommend the Law Office of Linda M. Brown to anyone needing assistance with an estate.

In 2022, when I was looking for a family lawyer to represent me in my divorce case, I retained Linda Brown based on all the positive Google reviews I read as well as my initial consultation with her which was very positive. From the time of my separation until my divorce it was almost twenty months, the case being more complicated because of the custody related to my younger son. During that time, there were multiple court hearings, and I must say that Linda has done a phenomenal job in and out of the court room. I was quite impressed with her knowledge of family law and very thankful for the help and legal advice she gave me. She has been a family attorney for many years and is therefore very knowledgeable and experienced. She communicates very well and is very professional in her interactions. Linda also has a good network of professionals that she can refer clients to who may need help with matters outside of family law (i.e. real estate agents, other attorneys, etc.) Her assistant Matt also did an excellent job with preparing and filing several legal court related documents. He also kept me apprised of important dates as well as communicating important matters related to my case. It's been a long journey, but I can say that thanks to Linda, things worked out in my favor. I would definitely recommend Linda Brown to anyone looking for a family attorney.

Phillip and his team helped me through a long and treacherous divorce. His advice was solid. He did an excellent job preparing me for deposition and court and was an excellent lawyer! He listened to me the entire time & even read my scribbles quickly in court when my spouse was lying and was able to quickly point to evidence that my spouse was not being honest!

Ms. Jessica keister is a fantastic attorney! She cares so much about her clients ! She helped me with my divorce and was both professional and empathetic.

Working with Mike after our car accident was one of the best decisions we could have made. He didn’t just handle our case; he became a trusted advocate who truly cared about our situation.
Mike took the time to explain every option available to us and never hesitated to answer our questions. His expertise shone through as he pursued avenues for compensation that we didn’t even think were possible—like negotiating with an insurance company we were sure wouldn’t pay out. When it came time for our deposition, his preparation and guidance made us feel confident and ready.
One thing that really set Mike apart was his diligence in reducing our health insurance liens. This extra effort made a huge difference in the final outcome, and it’s a testament to the level of care he puts into his work.
Thanks to Mike, we received a settlement that has transformed our lives as a young married couple. It’s given us financial stability and peace of mind after such a difficult experience.
Mike isn’t just a great lawyer—he’s someone you can trust to fight for you. We’ll always be grateful for his hard work and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in need of legal help.

Michael is an exceptional lawyer! I really thought my life was going to change in a negative way for a criminal charge that I received. This wasn't a DUI or DWI charge, and so please understand Michael's legal counsel goes much beyond what the firm he works at is known for. He made me feel relaxed and confident right in the beginning when we discussed my situation. And assured me everything was going to be fine and not to worry. Letting me know he was here to help. He even asked me how I was sleeping lately and said, "well tonight you you can start sleeping like a baby! Don't you worry, I got you." His experienced as a Maryland State Attorney certainly showed up in court by single handedly taking control of the courtroom. He even impressed the judge with how he handled business. After everything was put on record and approved by the judge, the judge expressed to Michael, "good job counsel!" Almost like the judge was reminiscing about himself when he was a lawyer and how he got the best outcome for his client. Do yourself a favor. If you need legal counsel for ANYTHING, hire Michael Berman. He won't disappoint.

i’m nearly 60 and for the first time in my life i was facing a criminal charge. Anthony defended me expertly. The prosecution tossed in the towel and dismissed the charge. this charge was brought about by my ex that has a drinking problem . He smaller alcohol on her breath . He also pointed out other weaknesses in their case. During a prior hearing where by i had a different attorney , it was expected to go to trial . so it was a surprise to
me to see the prosecution toss in the towel when they seemed so confident the prior hearing (in the hearing the judge ran out of time before our trial processed ) So i would definitely recommend Anthony .

This firm was highly recommended by a coworker. Rus and Jill were above and beyond handling both of my cases. I always felt like I was their number one customer because of their attention and prompt response. I had a case that I was dealing with for almost 2 years and when I passed the case to them it was like taking so much pressure off my shoulders. I even recommended it to my husband for a injury that he had at super store and they took the case and fought for him. We are truly thankful for their amazing work.

I am very pleased to write this unsolicited review. I don’t normally write reviews but I do read them before making my decisions. I was the victim in an automobile accident. I was skeptical about what law firm to go with after looking at so many online ads. I was referred to Mark Kohl, of DeCaro Doran Siciliano Gallagher & DeBlasis. Mr. Kohl called me, introduced himself and set up appointment for me to come in to discuss my case. I immediately felt a level of comfort with him and his expertise to handle my case. He was interested in me, my well-being, me being made as whole in this situation. I tried listen and follow Mr. Kohl’s advice the best I could. He was thoughtful in his responses, kind but firm, reassuring and said just tell the truth. I listen Mr. Kohl and we were victorious. I would recommend Mark Kohl in the matter of accidents to anyone, he is through, expertly sound, and highly regarded in his field. Thank you Mr. Kohl.

I must say from the start, our recent experience with the Law Offices of Ronald B. Greene, was exceptional! Attorney, James Carmon, took my husband and I by the hand from day one. His knowledge of the law while meeting our needs was over the top! He made all transactions run without any delays, which put us at ease!! I never thought we would find as much satisfaction from start to finish as we've experience with this firm! If you require assistance with any of your needs, this is the firm to contact!!

Robert Keehner is by far the most caring and intelligent lawyer that I have encountered. He has helped several friends as well as myself. In each case, he is always available to answer your phone calls at any given time. Most lawyers will not do this. He is also a fighter for you and your case. He will advise you and ultimately do what you are asking from him. My experience with other lawyers has shown that they just want the money and really don’t care about your situation. Other lawyers don't even get to know you by name, your just another client. Robert is the opposite. I recommend Robert Keehner as your only option.
By far the best lawyer in the DMV.

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.
