Dirk is the ideal blend of calm, thoughtful, and reasoning counsel with thorough, tenacious, and persistent litigator. His knowledge of Maryland maritime law is extensive and rooted in his own appreciation for the Chesapeake Bay way of life. I feel fortunate to have him as an advisor and advocate.

Dirk has been a calming force while guiding us through a long (and sometimes tumultuous) process involving adverse possession, property rights, and a loosely managed community association. As an attorney myself, I knew not to be my own counsel so I reached out to Dirk, who is well respected and knowledgeable in all things relating to property and waterfront law.

Thank you Mr. Schwenk for listening to my concerns and applying your professional experience in handling my case. I feel that your experience has placed you second to none. Thank you

My husband and I agree that Dirk's representation has been stellar throughout a very complex dispute.

No one truly wants to be in litigation, but when you find yourself there, you could not be in any better hands than with Dirk Schwenk. Dirk is without question the smartest, most competent, knowledgeable, hard working attorney we have come across and delivers for his clients. He does not over promise but over delivers with keen legal strategies, insightful analysis and knows his cases thoroughly. He recently helped my family through a murky, untested legal and novel portion of law in Maryland and won. No lawyer can guarantee any result, but you put the odds strongly in your favor when you chose the best mind and experience on your side. That is Dirk Schwenk.

Dirk is excellent to work with and has done extensive research on an unfamiliar topic to provide a strong and professional challenge to the defendant's posture. All his submissions are professional and timely, he even did a site visit to better understand the context of the issues being challenged. Can't thank him enough for his proactive approach to this case.

We have been working with Dirk for over a year now and I can honestly say that he is the best real estate and property attorney I have ever encountered. He is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also kind and supportive. He goes above and beyond to help us with our complex legal situation, which involves multiple properties, contracts, disputes and lawsuits. He personally handles every aspect of my case, from research and negotiation to litigation and settlement. He always comes up with ingenious solutions to the most challenging problems and he never gives up on finding the best outcome for us. He is also very responsive and communicative, keeping me updated on every step of the process and answering all my questions and concerns. He treats me with respect and professionalism, but also with compassion and empathy. He understands how stressful and overwhelming this situation is for us and he does everything he can to make it easier and smoother. I would not trust anyone else to handle my business except for him. Dirk is the best in the business and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a real estate and property attorney.

Dirk sorted through some water access issues inherent to our house transaction and helped us achieve the best possible outcome. He is well versed in all things riparian and as said below, he keeps his client's best interest at the forefront of all dealings. It was reassuring to have someone with his experience level on our team and we were quickly able to develop a high level of trust in his recommendations and guidance. I would highly recommend him as a first call regardless of the legal situation, if his expertise does not directly align with your needs he will point you in the right direction.
