I'm a realtor and I deal with a lot of title companies and Lakeside is hardest one I've ever had to…read morework with. Most title companies try to find a way to accomplish their clients' needs. This one does the opposite and some of the management (not all) are down right mean as hell! As real estate agents, we sometimes put money into properties and get reimbursed at the closing table and can add our expenses to the ALTA. I've done this with over a dozen other title agencies. But Lakeside does not allow reimbursements from the ALTA and sends all the proceeds to the seller (or buyer) and asks them to divvy it up post closing. I get it..it's their prerogative on whether they should have to do extra work or not by adding things to the ALTA, but I just feel like they should make it known in advance. I will say that my processor was great. But please stop hiring mean people in management!

A friend recommended we reach out to Mike Nakamura and Jess Baker at Shulman Rogers, and I must say they are the best! From the start, Mike and Jess were incredibly understanding to our work schedules and promptly scheduled our first video interview within two days of contacting them. Throughout the entire process, they remained warm, caring, and professional, always being realistic about our expected outcomes (which I appreciated the most) and able to video chat instead of driving an hour to meet in person. Their fees were also reasonable and transparent from the beginning which really helped. Most of our day-to-day communications were with Jess, who skillfully acted as the intermediary between us and the insurance companies. Her response time was remarkably fast, she was incredibly organized, and even managed to lighten our moods and help us relax with appropriate levity of situations, just as if talking to an old friend! Thanks Jess!!! I don't know how you do the magic you do with clients, and stay not just consistently reliable, but ahead of the game. Unlike other attorneys, they never talked down to us and used plain language to explain the more complex aspects of our case and had the patience to answer all 977 questions we must have asked. It always felt like a two or three-way conversation with them, allowing us to feel engaged and participating rather than being talked at. Our experience with Mike and Jess at Shulman Rogers has completely restored my faith in attorneys. If you find yourself in need of legal assistance, they should be your first call.

Adam, is everything you would want from an excellent attorney. He is down to earth, exceptionally professional, and really goes to bat for his clients. There is a lot of legal precedence that I didn't understand and he took the time to explain the legalize and put it into layman's terms. He was readily available and made time in his busy schedule to get these legal matters completed. He has a beautiful office and the people who work there are very accommodating. I thought his fees were reasonable. I would highly recommend Adam Abraham's and his law firm.

He went to the District Court (Rockville, MD) with me on 11/15/2024 for the hearing (I am the petitioner for the final peace order) for the contempt of court (the temporary peace order) that turned out to be a disastrous experience. He did this to me because I did not agree with the "agreement" that he set up by himself with the opposite party for no reason. The only reason I can think of was racist because I am an American Chinese. He asked more than 3 times to confirm my ethnicity. He humiliated me by using his finger to point to my face and made me back multiple steps to avoid his finger touching my nose when only he and me in the small meeting room at the courthouse. I was begging to come up with a middle point so I could get a bit of fair treatment when three of us (he, me, and the opposite party) were in a meeting room and trying to negotiate the agreement before seeing the judge. He talked to the opposite party and acted like he was presenting the opposite party; he yelled at me during the meeting for no reason. He also yelled at me in the hallway of the courthouse and in front of the Judge in the courtroom room which made me shocked and speechless in from of the judge. I did not know what to say and/or to do but only could go with the outcome. I almost faint in the courtroom. He misled the judge by saying I decided to withdraw the contempt of the court which I did not agree with his decision, so he made the outcome seem to grant me a final peace order, the reality was that the final decision was entirely in favor of the opposite party.
