Hired Attorney Steven R. Freeman

We have a issue with appraisal values..I notified the firm and left a message explaining the basic details of the case. Within a hour or so the same day Steve Freeman called me. We talked about the case for at least 30 minutes at no charge..He explained some details of my case that I didn't realize..It was a very helpful conversation and if this case goes to trail I'd feel confident in his ability to represent me ..

Steven Freeman is the best attorney in the state of Maryland. I've looked high and low and I'm very happy to have found Steven. He knows his stuff and I liked that he mentors his attorneys and shows them what is something that doesn't come up in everyday law. Take it from me, Steven is the man for your case.

Working with this firm was a waste of my time. There was zero communication and the "paralegal" was rude and not at all considerate of my time. I never heard back from anyone every time I called and would not recommend this firm to anyone.
