Biography

I am a Personal Injury Attorney, Workers' Compensation Lawyer, and Criminal Defense Counselor with 30 years of experience. Throughout my career, I have handled thousands of cases related to accidental injuries, including hundreds of car accident cases where my clients suffered serious injuries, faced substantial medical expenses, lost wages, and endured both physical pain and mental anguish. I am proud to serve clients across Baltimore, particularly in the neighborhoods, including Canton, Federal Hill, Fells Point, Mount Vernon, Patterson Park, Harbor East, Inner Harbor, Hampden, Charles Village, Locust Point, Roland Park, Highlandtown, Upper Fells Point, Remington, Belair-Edison, Morrell Park, Westport, Brooklyn, Carroll Park, Cherry Hill, Medfield, Bayview, Upton, West Baltimore, Middle East, Park Heights, Reservoir Hill, Cedonia, Guilford, Lauraville, Govans, Homeland, Waverly, Edmondson Village, Washington Village, Sandtown-Winchester, Madison Park, Berea, Barclay, Greenmount.

Throughout my career, I have successfully secured millions of dollars in compensation for victims of negligence. I have also assisted hundreds of injured workers in obtaining the benefits they rightfully deserved but were initially denied. Additionally, I have defended hundreds of individuals accused of crimes and have extensive trial experience.

I believe there are two main reasons why you should consider hiring me: my experience and my Reduced Fee Program. As mentioned, my background is fairly comprehensive, covering various aspects of law over a significant period, in many jurisdictions. Moreover, I offer a Reduced Fee Program for my Baltimore personal injury clients, which offers an attorney fee that is lower than what is typically charged in this region. I firmly believe that every victim of an accident or injury deserves access to a dedicated advocate at a fair rate. My Reduced Fee Program is designed to ensure that my clients can retain a larger portion of their overall award.

Fees
  • Free Consultation
    I extend a complimentary case evaluation, legal analysis and strategy planning session to anyone that is considering hiring me as their lawyer. In this initial meeting, I have three aims: To explore, develop and organize the operative facts surrounding the case, claim or defense To identify and analyze the legal issues involved, and To develop a plan to achieve the client's objectives. A fourth aim is to extend this service to the prospective client at no cost.
  • Contingent Fees
    I adamantly believe every injury victim should have access to diligent, effective representation in their quest to achieve fair compensation. I am also committed to providing that representation at a fair rate. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about my reduced fee program. Usually, the lawyer will advance the costs of litigation, and, if there is a financial recovery, the lawyer will retain a percentage of that recovery as their fee. However, if there is no recovery obtained by the lawyer, there is no fee -and generally, no litigation costs- charged to the client. "Under my Reduced Fee Program, your fee percentage is always limited." In Maryland, a common contingency fee arrangement calls for the lawyer to retain 33.3 % of the amount recovered in the case as a fee. Under my reduced fee reduced fee program, attorney's fees are always limited to 30% on a presuit recovery, and 35% if the case goes to litigation.
