With 29 years of experience in the practice of law, I recognize that each client, and each client's situation, is unique and deserves my personal attention. I believe that it is essential to consider every client's concerns and to provide appropriate advice and solutions for those concerns. I take time to work diligently for each client to attempt to obtain the best possible result in each and every case. I offer consultations in a friendly, comfortable atmosphere, with flexible office hours. When necessary, I am available for home visits, nursing facility and hospital visits.
After years of representing personal injury, workers' compensation and social security disability clients, I am fully familiar with the Circuit Courts and District Courts throughout the State of Maryland. I have also developed a rapport and working relationship with many insurance claim representatives, which is of assistance in reaching satisfactory results for my clients.
In an effort to provide service to the community, I have been actively involved in the Anne Arundel Teen Court program for several years, acting as an attorney advisor and sitting on occasion as a Teen Court Judge. I have also been active in my local Chamber of Commerce, serving on various committees, and previously serving as a Vice-President of the Chamber.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
Comfort Level - Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal
information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials - How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has
the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat
fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
