Any initial inquiry by e-mail must be limited to providing your name, the name of all other parties, and the names of any businesses owned or otherwise involved. If you provide any additional information, the e-mail will be purged without reading or reply. The policy is required to protect the firm and its clients from conflicts of interest. While each case is different and a lawyer’s past record is no assurance that the lawyer will be successful in reaching a favorable result in any future case, we look forward to the opportunity to continue to provide individualized service to each of our clients.
From Greenbelt Maryland, we serve the Maryland and District of Columbia metro area, including Montgomery, Prince George’s, Anne Arundel, Howard, Charles and Calvert counties.
