I had an excellent experience working with Mr Patrick. From the very start, they were professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable.They took the time to explain every detail of my case, making sure I was comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.
Their communication was top-notch, and they always responded to my questions promptly. What stood out the most was their dedication and genuine concern for my case – I truly felt like they had my best interests at heart.
Thanks to their expertise and hard work, my case was resolved in the best possible way. I highly recommend Mr Patrick to anyone in need of legal assistance!

I could do this anonymously but I won’t. My name is Antoine Haskins and I had a Life sentence. I basically gave up on freedom and life itself. But God sent me Isabelle Raquin and she helped me attain my freedom. She is a Godsend for real. She actually cares about her clients and when you email her or message her she responds back. Not in weeks or months. Like a day or two. She is amazing. Trust me you won’t be sorry if you get her. You want freedom or your loved ones free hire Isabelle Raquin and watch her work. She’s very respectable and respectful. Honestly I can’t say enough good things about her. Don’t believe me? Check my page and you’ll see for yourself. Best decision you could ever make for an Attorney

First off I had a warrant for my arrest. I contacted Craig Kadish and hired him to represent me. Within 2 days the warrant was squashed and I had a court date issued.
I allegedly owed $5,000 for damages to the car that was taken. At the first appearance we made a deal that didn't require me to plead guilty, which I was very happy about. At the second and final appearance the plaintiff didn't even show up! I can't promise that Craig will make your plaintiff disappear but he sure made mine!!!!!
Thanks for your help in this matter.

Mr. Kadish recently represented me in a case in Howard County (one of the tougher counties in Maryland). He assured me that he would do his best to get the favorable outcome available for the felony I was charged with. The outcome was more than expected. He lead with confidence and the charge was nolle prosequi. Speaking with him eased my anxieties and I trusted his word. I pray that I never need another lawyer but if I do he would be the first to call.

Craig M. Kadish and his entire team are truly amazing. From my initial consolation with Mr. Kadish and meeting his team, I was confident that I made the right choice to hire him for legal representation. Mr. Kadish and his team were very patient and understanding throughout the 6-month process, explaining all aspects and possible outcomes of my case, without any sugar coating or false promises, all of which I greatly appreciated. Mr. Kadish and his team were very strategic and detail oriented in preparing for each court appearance, all while keeping me informed with the logistics to help ensure I was prepared in advance. Ultimately, Mr. Kadish was amazingly successful in negotiating dismissal of all charges. I definitely recommend Craig M . Kadish to anyone needing a brilliant criminal defense attorney.

I consulted with this attorney, and although I don't think I am the right fit as a client of their firm, I do think I would've came out on top with this gentleman in my corner. We talked for a little over 34 minutes and in that time he shared valuable knowledge about how we could go about this, what the possible outcomes could be, what to expect price wise, and even strategy wise in regards to meeting with his team. He also seemed very upbeat and on the ball with getting all of the relevant information and determining how to utilize it in the most effective ways. I thank you for your time and the service you are providing to our community. He also talked about how their firm is asked by the Bar association to donate and how they attend some government officials yearly parties and such, meaning they are also well connected with these people and work with them regularly. The only reason I couldn't go with this guy (although I wanted to) was the price - and I'm not saying him and his firm aren't worth it, I truly believe they are, but as a ~21 year old (staying vague for privacy) saving up for a car the price he told me was 1/4 of what I received from insurance for my totaled vehicle, and I just couldn't at this time justify that purchase in my head when I am needing other, tangible assets at this time. I was frank with him and more or less told him this, and he tried to assure me it was worth it to not risk losing my freedoms or having this backfire, which I don't disagree with, but again, I can't justify that spending on a single day in court for something I didn't even do... Thanks again to Thomas for teaching out, not only once, but twice after I missed his call and couldn't catch him when I returned it. Maybe someday in the future when I am more financially stable I will utilize your services to the fullest!

I had two cases with mister Papirmeister. In both cases he got me no jail time. My first gun case he got me three years probation no jail time. My second gun case he won my motion to suppress evidence which ended up getting the case thrown out. Overall a good man who cares for his clients.

What stands out the most about Mr. Papirmeister isn’t just his reputation and understanding of criminal law, though, both are impressive. It isn’t even that he gets results, though, he definitely does. The thing that told us we had the right attorney was the genuine empathy he displayed from the first consultation to the final hearing. He takes the time to explain what he’s doing and why, and conveys genuine concern for all parties involved.

He was very well focused on the goal when he was in the court room. My husband was facing a firearms felony charge that could of affected us all including family and friends. Mr. Papirmeister worked his magic in there and my husband with all of his good behavior as well and James by his side he was able to get probation. My guess that usually does not happen. But, James Papirmeister made it possible. If there is anyone you need to represent you and really take in consideration not only your family and friends but also any good and change you have done and also make sure you are heard , this is the man you need to hire. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrew Jezic was retained based on the recommendation of a highly respected attorney who stated “as a prosecutor going into a jury trial the last defense attorney I would want to be looking at is Andrew Jezic”. Andy surrounded me with the finest group of people including Gary Smith and Matthias Meuwissen who with his leadership upheld their professionalism, knowledge, ethics and compassion for my wife and I through the worst time of our lives. Everyone wants to win but Andy and his team are willing to work tirelessly to prepare to win for you. Andy is an attorney who conducts himself as a gentleman at all times who will turn into a shark for you if it is appropriate. At the end of the jury trial and I was acquitted of all charges I was asked if Andy was as good as I thought he would be. My response was I had no idea that good existed.

Mr. Felsen was absolutely amazing! He went over and beyond his call of duty for me, ended up taking on an additional surprise case, and stepped in for my bond hearing. He worked over the weekend to ensure my needs were met for my cases. He even delivered our evidence to the court room in a snowstorm for the next day. Mr. Felsen gave me both the pros and cons to each decision that would be made on my end. He was a diamond in a rough. I wasnt just another number to him. I could tell he truly cared. He also is a monster in the court room and knows law very well. He knows when to be aggressive. My situation is very weird and was a challenging one, but he came through and won our cases. He even visited me while I was incarcerated on a Sunday and he spoke with the Commissioner at 12:30 AM unexpectedly for a different case he wasnt planning on working on. Mr. Felsen truly cares and is passionate about what he does that is what sets him apart from the millions of Attorneys out here. He will fight to the end for you. I am so grateful to have had him because I knew he would be fully transparent and give it to me straight. I would highly recommend calling Mr. Felsen for your representation needs.

Attorney Angel Cambell & Attorney Sobel were my family’s dream team. Angel was absolutely remarkable to say the least. She was extremely patient with our many questions and phone calls. She did her due diligence with a level of compassion that is hard to find these days. Angel & Mr. Sobel allowed God to use them to turn things around and get my family member home 4 weeks after sentencing. They looked at my family member as an individual and not just a number. Angel knows the law and is remarkably professional, if you want the absolute best; then look no farther. I must also add that their entire staff is amazing (Aura, Stephanie and the rest of their team)! This was one of the most devastating times in my family’s life and every interaction with the entire staff at James Crawford law firm were kind and did everything they could to comfort us and advocate to get my loved one home as fast as possible.

Being young and unknowledgeable of the workings of the court system Matthew thumser and his incredible team made an incredible impact.
Not only in educating me but also in guiding me every step of the way. With easy access to him and his legal team working aside him it made a tough situation so much easier and reduced stress.
I knew the moment he walked through the door for our consultation that he was the man for the job. Never once and even til this day do I doubt him or his ability to successfully bring his clients peace. He gets to the point while also showing understanding and lending an ear.
If you need someone confident, straight to the point, and well organized Matthew is 100% your guy.
Thank you.

This past year, we sought legal expertise and guidance from the Law Office of James Crawford, Jr. & Associates. Jason Nguyen, a Managing Attorney at the firm, and Cordell Rose, a Legal Assistant, were assigned to our case.
In working with Jason, we found him to be accessible, knowledgeable, responsive, and results-oriented. He is a great listener and communicator who kept us abreast of the case each step of the way. He took great care to explain complex legal information, showed great patience, and consistently demonstrated his commitment to our case and our desired outcome.
Like Jason, Cordell was very responsive, steady, and organized. He always answered our questions in a timely matter and demonstrated friendly professionalism throughout the process.
Thanks to Jason’s management and leadership and Cordell’s support, we achieved a favorable and desired outcome in the case.
In light of all of this, we recommend you reach out to Jason and the Law Office of James Crawford, Jr. & Associates for your legal needs.

Margaret is like MJ G.O.A.T!!! I’m not just saying that because she got my charges dropped I’m saying that because when your backed in the corner she comes up with things that will make you say WHAT!!! She stays in touch at all times and gives her personal phone number out just in case. She doesn’t blow smoke up your ass just to get your money she tells you the truth and reality of your situation!! That says a lot about Margaret’s character. I would suggest to anyone looking for someone to trust and have your back 100% look no further call her it’s your best chance. I love you Margaret mead

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was charged and held "without bail" along with 5 others. And though the charges were "trumped-up"...I thought I would never be with my family again nor see the light of day!
Retaining Margaret Mead was the best decision I could have made at this precarious time. Margaret Mead rescued me and represented me for my Bail Review. Though the State tried to paint the worst picture of me and recommend I still be held without bail, Margaret Mead had me released in hours. The others charged were not so fortunate.
I owe a great debt to Margaret. I am free this morning writing this review - at home. "Thank you Margaret" - both of you!
Margaret Mead is reliable, professional and knowledgeable. She has a "Kennedy - Like" presence about herself. Call her today.
Her partner, Brandon Mead was an important role in assisting as well. "Thank you Brandon".

There’s seriously no one who’s a match for Mead. She’s intelligent, proficient, direct and extremely knowledgeable. If you’re seeking an attorney who will coddle you and rock you to sleep with a barrage of calls and unnecessary emails, keep looking. If you want someone who’s highly capable, fully qualified and will get the job done, look NO further. Pricing is very fair as your freedom is truly priceless. This woman saved my life, literally. She’s seriously so good, I keep her on retainer just in case. The wise choose Mead.

Some years ago, in 2003, Mr. Mooney represented me when I was on a course that would've led to a different future for me.
Later, he represented me in a reconsideration case with Judge Whalen who he had to track down his schedule, since he was retired Judge, and time it so that I could get in front of him. Judge Whalen reconsidered, which was the first step to something bigger.
Mr. Mooney did not have to do this, but because he did, I was accepted into a top 100 business school, completed my MBA, and started a successful technology company.
His work changed the trajectory of my life. I now have four daughters: 19 (in college), 6, 4, and 3. They are proud of their dad. I have also won business awards, been featured in articles, and work with Fortune 500 companies. I am here today because of Mr. Mooney's work and taking the time to help.
Mr. Mooney I thank you, my wife thanks you, and my children don't know it, but one day I'll tell them, and they will also thank you.

I have called Elijah Barrett every day for over a week now. The phone doesn’t even ring, it goes straight to voicemail. I have left 4 messages with my name and number over the course of a week. He has yet to get back to any of my messages or my email. I haven’t even spoken to Elijah Barrett because I can not reach him with the provided contact information. I absolutely do not recomendable his services. In fact I advise against his services. FIND ANOTHER ATTORNEY. How am I supposed to trust Elijah Barrett with handling my case when he can’t even respond to a voice mail? How can I trust Elijah Barrett when he can’t even answer his cell phone? I have called at least 40 times in the course of the week between 9:00AM and 4:00PM EST. No one has gotten back to me. Despicable. Also, he entered his line of appearance for the wrong court case! Everything I have stated is a fact whether you like it or not. Have a good day.

Questions? We have answers
What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You
A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.
When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:
- You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
