She will be our goto attorney in Maryland. We definitely recommend her.

Ms. Clark was wonderful with provided information and listening to my concerns. This senior paralegal knows her stuff and makes sure she retrieves all proper information to build your case. A BIG thank you for always taking the time to assist with all my questions and concerns.

Provided wonderful referrals inwhich I received great care. My direct attorney who handles my case was Ronald Katz. When I was unable to get in contact with Ms. Clark, Ron made sure I knew he was available any time via phone or email. One of them was always available to answer questions or concerns. Ron provided a quick response and was persistent to reach insurance companies. We had some issues receiving response from the insurance company and Ron made sure to keep me updated every attempt he made. Ron looked out for my case and made sure I was receiving the best offer. Ron was clear every step of the way making sure I understood the next step if I was unhappy with my offer. Ron's knowledge and professional experience help my case receive the max offer without going to trail. They were prompt with paperwork submission to complete the case. Ron's professionalism and customer service is spectacular. I received my payment express delivery. Ron took the time to hand deliver my settlement check to my home. As we all know how some mail can be delayed during the holidays. My case closed perfectly during the end of the year holidays of 2023. Extremely grateful for their services and highly recommend them. They have joined the Lopez family as their attorney. I will seek their service in the future if I require them. Thank you again!

Well, I'll be damned? East Coast Drama, Jealousy, and Hateration flew 1st Class and found its way to my doorstep in just 8 months? WTF!!! The drama was further complicated due to the 3000 mile, CA vs MD Family Law statutes, procedure, precedence, opinions, differences, and all that mess. The phrase "call my lawyer," became a Ha, Ha Lawyer joke on me, as California lawyers, upon hearing the word Maryland, quickly dismissed my ass, UNTIL I met Attorney Ji Park of Park Family Law, in Beverly Hills (sounds fancy, don't it?). After careful examination of the case, Attorney Park said and I quote, "I think I see something? I can't help you but, let me make a few calls." Those few calls lead me to the Law Firm of Reinstein, Glackin & Herriott, LLC, but more importantly, Attorneys Sarah Broder and Paul Reinstein, who too said, we see something, a long-shot something, but 'something' nonetheless. After two years of EXPENSIVE arguments, filings, documents, a back and forth mediation, and an appeal, they stood boldly for/against that 'something,' allowing my voice and presence to be heard, further uncovering what 'LIES' beneath. Even when I was losing my sh*t, their poise, balance, and user friendly language, were enough to give me the confidence, that I WAS PRESENT, HEARD, and OUT LOUD, 3000 miles away! With that said and the drama over, "WITHOUT A BLINK," I recommend Reinstein, Glackin & Herriott to/for the DMV if you have a Family Law issue.

Both houses were awarded to me with my ex being responsible for 1/2 the deficit and/or gain once the houses are out of his name. Mr Reinstein was nice but he has a large chip on his shoulder proclaiming his excellent record of mediating during our first of two sessions.

I retained Mr. Valente for a complicated medical malpractice case involving the permanent blinding…read moreof my left eye and lifelong issues with recurring symptoms that threaten the need to have the eye removed. The malpractice involved was clear, easily identified, and devastatingly damaging to me. I received a vastly insufficient settlement dollar amount. I received a settlement despite Mr. Valente's negative input; without his input, which resulted in underestimated damages communicated during arbitration of my case, I almost surely would have been awarded a higher and more commensurate-with-damages level of compensation based on the facts. Some of the issues I faced while retaining Mr. Valente follow: Mr. Valente utterly failed to accurately assess my economic and non-economic damages . The arbitration process was extremely premature: my damages were not fully established by any means or standard; It was his responsibility to understandnd and effectively convey the extent of damages to me and to the defendent's counsel as well as to a jury at trial. There is no evidence of preparation of my case for trial, as he was contracted to facilitate. Instead, he negotiated a small-in-proportion to my damages settlement. The facts suggest that Mr. Valente lacked the necessary resources as an attorney in the process of establishing a new practice, to represent me successfully or effectively. For example lack of knowledge of my case' details, failure to obtain appropriate expert witnesses in preparation of trial, and an overall failure to retain the facts of my case as presented to him by me in our few meetings and many email communications. Mr. Valente did not attend my deposition during which I gave testimony about my experiences with medical malpractice and it's impact on my life. He also failed to obtain a copy of the deposition's transcript. Since my testimony contained in that transcript formed the basis for my case, Mr. Valente was unable to plan an appropriate case strategy. Mr. Valente retained hundreds of dollars from my settlement in addition to his 40 percent fee for expenses alledged but not factually incurred. One such expense was approximately $800 for the never obtained deposition transcript. Many times, Mr. Valente did not reply to requests for information or respond to information that I provided He failed to inform me of over thirty legal motions pertaining to my case over a 14-month period. I self-discovered these motions and documents which formed an outline of how my case was proceeding in the discovery process online months after the fact. As a result of Mr. Valente's failure to keep me informed about my case, the defense attorney was permitted to interrogate any and all healthcare providers that I was currently visiting or had seen for health concerns in the past for any kind of treatment without my knowledge or participation, a clear violation of HIPAA security laws. Mr. Valente or someone in his employ forged my signature on numerous letters sent to the defendent's attorneys permitting the privacy-violating process to take place. Specifically, the letters stated that I had "no intention" of quashing defense' motion to interview my doctors. Thus, the motion was granted. In fact, I had no idea that defense counsel would be permitted to invade my health care related privacy in such a broadly delineated manner. This practice has been prevented as a violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) patient privacy law by many U.S. courts. Mr. Valente, was legally required to inform and offer me my right to file a motion to quash the procedure in order to start the process of a legal determination for its necessity by the court system. When I questioned him about it, he indicated that it was insignificant. Perhaps it was not significant to Mr. Valente, however it was my protected Healthcare information at issue. I would say that precludes Mr. Valente from making a moral judgment about its significance. The current law "says" it is not his legal right to do so without consulting with me. Valente became evasively (and ineffectually) defensive in his written communications to me after I learned of the seriousness of his failures. Mr. Valente was deceitful, non-responsive and ultimately refused to respond to my direct questions concerning issues that I had after the settlement, as new facts emerged about his shortcomings in representing me in the case. I would under no circumstance recommend Mr. Valente to anyone. I have filed formed complaints against him with two separate legal bars. Ultimately, working with him was a damaging, galling and self-defeating experience.
