Even though I am an attorney and thought the complaints to be baseless, not being familiar with the intricacies of the professional licensing disciplinary process, I felt it advisable to have competent representation. I found Mr. Stafford and after consultation, engaged his services. Throughout the process, which was unnecessarily protracted due to the inefficiency of the licensing agency, Mr. Stafford and his staff were professional, supportive and most importantly, effective. Should you find yourself in need of defending yourself against a professional license complaint, I wholeheartedly encourage you to consult with Mr. Stafford.

The Law Firm of J.W. Stafford is a law firm that advertises on the internet as having experience…read moreassisting applicants for the Maryland Bar with character and fitness committee challenges. In my effort to deal with a character and fitness matter, I contacted his firm and retained its services. Anyone who knows the challenges of dealing with character and fitness matters knows that it is a difficult process. I informed Stafford of the limited resources I had to cover the process, and explained that I had a pending job offer that was reliant upon the quick resolution of the matter. Unbeknownst to me, and without discussing the matter, upon my retaining his services, Stafford immediately reached out to the committee and postponed the scheduled hearing date (which had already taken a significant amount of time to schedule), delaying the matter indefinitely. When i reached out to ask why, he cited the need to prepare. Despite my concerns over the delay, he never secured a new date, but rather kept pushing for a delay of over a month. During that time, he billed me exorbitantly, and produced nearly no discernable work product. By the time my frustration boiled over, he somehow managed to bill me nearly $5,000, even before a hearing, and before any work product was provided to me. It took me a month to realize that he was delaying so he could run up the legal fees, whilst doing next to no work. His retainer was $15,000. After I fired the firm from my case, I contacted a more experienced firm that charged a $2,500 retainer, and billed me only for the discernable work it did. Even after a month of representation, and after the hearing, the total legal bill came nowhere near the $15,000 retainer charged by Stafford, and was just over the total of $5,000 that J.W. Stafford charged me for doing next to nothing and causing a month-and-a-half delay in proceedings. Luckily, my employer was patient and understanding. But it significantly delayed the process, and it caused hardship to my office, which had already put my on the schedule. It was truly disheartening to have reached out to J.W. Stafford's firm in a time of need, only to find that the firm was more interested in billing than helping me resolve the issues I hired it to resolve. While it cost me $5,000, I ended up with a truly trustworthy attorney who did amazing work. However, to think that a firm, which holds itself out as being familiar with character and fitness challenges and the stress and angst they bring, would take such an approach, is still hard to believe. I would not recommend J.W. Stafford's firm to anyone.
