Unlike some firms with similar names in their titles, I have never been, nor will I ever have a desire to become, a ‘National Law Firm” or to represent those injured in foreign jurisdictions. Don’t misunderstand- I wish my fellow Baltimore personal injury lawyers the very best in their search for national recognition, exposure, and success. My goals, my practice and my experience are far more local, more focused, and more tailored. I handle a case “as is” / “where is” in Baltimore.

“I represent injured Baltimore residents in a relentless battle to obtain fair, just, and reasonable compensation from an insurance company who will not pay it.” (2)

Over the course of the last decade, I’ve published in excess of 750 articles addressing the common questions posed by those seeking appropriate compensation in the areas of personal injury, workers’ compensation and insurance disputes, generally. These articles are in many offer “How to“, “FAQ“, or “Next Step” guidance. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, feel free to contact me to discuss the details of your case and learn how I can help. These articles serve as guides for those Baltimore residents wrestling with the existential, often mind-numbing, and frequently enraging question.
