Absolutely amazing! This is hands down one of the most organized and client-focused businesses I've ever encountered. They take your case seriously and keep you updated almost every week. They answer your questions directly, and if they don't know the answer, they'll make every effort to connect you with someone who does, even Thomas himself. I never had to step into a courtroom. You've heard of "Better Call Saul," right? For specific matters that Thomas handles, you "Better Call Thomas." It was quite a journey, but reaching the finish line made it all worthwhile! They truly have your back, and they definitely have my vote!

Do not use Jessica Morales as your lawyer!! She would take a week or more to respond to my emails, not answer all of my questions, and the biggest thing is when I decided to change lawyers, she never sent all of my documents and information to my new lawyer!! I paid for those documents and they are MY property! She is refusing to answer my new lawyer and send my file to her! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! Don’t waste your money and time on her!

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 was in a single car accident where I wrecked my car. I was charged with DUI, DWI, reckless driving, transporting a minor, and barrage of other charges.
First of all I would I like to thank the Office or Alpert Schreyer for appointing Michael Berman to be my attorney for this case. He was very communicative and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. Now let’s get to it.. Michael Berman started by convincing the judge to grant a motion to suppress the fact that I refused to take the field sobriety test (which I didn’t even think was possible) in doing so, the officer couldn’t even state it in the case. He selected the jury with strategy and intention as if he were on trial himself. When the trial finally started, the show began. Immediately Michael Berman grabbed the attention of the court room, with his energy and delivery of the facts, the judge and jury were left in awe. Micheal was as confident and persuasive as he was knowledgeable. He destroyed the prosecution’s argument and absolutely shredded the officers testimony so much that he became a mere portion of himself. This case mirrored an episode of SUITS, during every break people trickled in to witness as if word had spread throughout the entire building. Michael Berman approached this case with knowledge and a swagger that can only be described as a real life Harvey Specter. Ultimately because of his experience and attention to detail, I was acquitted of all charges, fines, and tickets. I am CDL holder, so my license and job was on the line but because of the Office of Alpert Schreyer, especially Michael Berman, a burden has been lifted and I can live my life free to drive another day. I recommended 20 out of 10 stars. He went to bat for me, and I’m sure he’ll do the same for you!

I was charged with DUI. I am personally familiar with the partners of Michael’s firm, Alpert & Schreyer, and felt confident that they would be the most experienced and qualified attorneys to assist me during this very difficult situation. I truly believe the firm put their best man on my case. A consummate professional.
Michael was indeed knowledgeable about the process I was engaging in and gave me clear direction regarding what I needed to do before going to court. He had personal relationships with the members of the court. It was obvious he was highly respected. Michael gave me excellent advice and went to court with me twice.
At our second appearance, Michael met with the prosecutor and the charges against me were subsequently dropped. I do not know if another attorney could have been better in helping my case.
Since this case I feel as though I have a second chance, something I didn’t think existed anymore. With lessons learned I am grateful for Michael and his team.

I was in need of legal counsel and representation, so I did a Google search for personal injury lawyers. Out of hundreds of firms, I chose Alpert Schreyer, LLC, because my initial consultation with the firm was great. In my opinion, people don't help you if they don't hear you. After a week of making calls, stating my case, and being told, "Someone will call you," "I can't take your case," or ending the conversation without hearing me; I called Schreyer's office and they heard me to help me!

YOU NEED THIS LAW OFFICE!!!
I’ve been blessed to have Ms. Conway as my attorney in my custody/divorce case and two name change cases. After having a terrible experience else where, I must have called and spoke to every family law attorney in the tri county area. Ms. Conway was the first and only to actually CARE about me and most importantly what was best for my children. She listened to me, and understood where I was coming from when no one else would listen to me. She stood by my side and fought for what was best. She is knowledgeable, understanding, reliable, hard working and has impeccable communication skills. Her composer in court is unmatched!
Thank you Ms. Conway and Sarah for all of your hard work and dedication to my cases. And for all the stressed, sad, happy panicked emails/calls!! You’re the best!

James Farmer did an amazing job. He has a familiarty with the Charles County court system. He was able to navigate the court room with ease. He was honest in his approach and in what postivie or negative could happen. He fought till the very end, and was able to win a dismissal of my case. This was done, even though all the facts of guilt where against me. He made a plan, we stuck to it, and he was completely right in his approach. James is clearly a winner, and I was impressed with his dedication to my case.

Explained my situation to her. She basically told me there was nothing I can do which is complete bs because I have already filed and began the process. I’m just looking for representation at this point. She’s unaware for lack of a better word. WILL NOT RECOMMEND!

For as much help as Ms Hotchkiss brought to my case, I would've been better served if she hadn't shown up to court. She was unprepared and did not present evidence she told me she was going to use. She didn't stay on track with her questioning and seemed flustered. The judge barely paid attention to her when she made objections. She was unconcerned that I lost my case and I feel like I just threw away a lot of money. I would never recommend her.

When served with custody papers, I had no idea how to proceed or what to do next. Phyllis was a perfect choice for me. She not only knows what she is doing, but had truly had my best interest at heart throughout my case. She kept me not only informed but in check when I needed it. In the end, I got more then I ever imagined I would. I cannot speak highly enough of Phyllis!

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.
