Hired Attorney Mike Rothman

I had an incredible experience working with Michael S. Rothman. I was facing a very stressful cannabis-related DUI charge, and he guided me through every step with patience, confidence, and compassion. He always took the time to explain what was happening, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood my options. His professionalism and deep understanding of Maryland law completely put me at ease. When my court day finally came, Michael’s preparation and expertise made all the difference. I was found not guilty on all charges. I’m beyond grateful for his dedication and the way he fought for me. If you need a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and responsive attorney who truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Michael S. Rothman.

His knowledge of the law, combined with his genuine care for his clients, truly sets him apart. Mike takes the time to explain every step of the process, answers all my questions with patience, and always makes sure I feel heard and understood. In the moments when I felt overwhelmed, he offered reassurance and gave me the confidence I needed. I am beyond thankful for everything he has done, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney who not only fights for his clients but also cares deeply about them and the reason they sought legal help.

Where to begin!?!? The two people that deserve my thanks, appreciation and gratitude are God and Mike Rothman. I found myself in quite a mess, as this was my first ever offense, gun-related felony charge in DC. Of all the criminal lawyers I found on my Google search, Mike, was the only one who stepped up, with a solid game plan to get the felony charge bumped down to a misdemeanor. His hard work and determination resulted in overall success! Thank you so much Mike and Team!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Mike is very responsive and always answered all of my questions. His calm demeanor instantly set me at ease. He was knowledgeable and went over everything step by step in terms I could easily understand. I feel like he really listened to me and let me make my own decisions while explaining every possible outcome. Mike has his clients' best interests at heart and does everything he can to provide the best possible outcome for them.

I feel fortunate that Mike Rothman was the lawyer I called to help with my DUI case. I did so based on some of the things he said in his on-line listing because I thought it important to have some personal rapport. The rapport was definitely there. My case took six months to go through all the preparation and multiple hearings. Mike was always there to answer questions and explore the issues. I got a much better resolution than I might have expected and am now able to move on with my life.

I've worked with several lawyers in the past and formed certain expectations. Our experience with Michael Rothman has definitely set the bar even higher. His willingness to discuss in detail the specifics of your case and offer his interpretations/most likely outcomes even before you enter into a contract exceeded expectations. He is very knowledgeable, facilitates open communication, is accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks you for all your help Mike!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
