Law Firm Overview

Karp Frosh is a plaintiffs' personal injury and general civil litigation firm with offices in Washington, D.C., northern Virginia and throughout Maryland.  The "Legal Times" -- a publication covering the local legal community -- recently listed Karp Frosh as the fifth largest firm in the Maryland suburbs.  Karp Frosh does not strive to be the largest firm in the D.C. metropolitan area, just the Firm that can secure the best measure of justice for its clients.

The Firm has the highest possible rating from Martindale Hubbell -- the nation's preeminent attorney rating service -- and has co-counseled major cases referred by attorneys in New York, Chicago, Boston, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, New Jersey and, of course, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. The Firm is proud of the fact that over half its major cases are referred by attorneys who trust Karp Frosh to represent their clients in court.

Although Karp Frosh seeks practical solutions to its clients' problems without resorting to litigation, the Firm is ready and able to go to court when necessary. Three of the Firm's partners recently were selected for inclusion in the 2008 listing of "Best Lawyers in America." The same three partners also appeared in the December 2007 issue of the Washingtonian Magazine as among the top one percent of lawyers in the D.C. metropolitan area.  Five of the firm's partners were selected as Maryland "Super Lawyers" in the 2007 issue of Baltimore Magazine, and as Washington, D.C. "Super Lawyers" for 2008.  We are particularly honored by these selections because they are based upon interviews and recommendations by other lawyers, and demonstrate that the Karp Frosh Law Firm and its attorneys are recognized by our peers as being among the best in the greater Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area.
