Her staff to include Griffin and Nydia were all excellent to work with as well. I had a lot of questions along the way but they were always available to assist. I'm very glad I made the decision to help me with my legal issue. Thanks again Karen and everyone at Sussman & Simcox. read more

I initially contracted with another firm to handle an automobile accident case for me. It didn't take long for me to discover that they were doing an inferior job and asking me, while incapacitated due to injuries from the accident, to do all the legwork tracking down bills, etc. It initially took several tries to get a contract from them that made sense because they kept sending out old versions with inappropriate wording that they just told me to ignore. Each time I spoke with them or dropped off paperwork I was left wondering exactly what, if anything, they were doing. As my medical bills mounted my patience wore thin. I became more and more stressed. It looked like my medical bills and attorney fees were going to exceed the other driver's insurance coverage and my attorney didn't seem at all concerned. In desperation I finally resorted to posting on Craigslist and Facebook asking for recommendations for an attorney experienced in litigating court cases with Allstate. Along with all the crazy recommendations for business attorneys, bankruptcy attorneys, family law attorneys, tax attorneys, criminal attorneys, etc. that I received I actually got one that made sense.The referral was from somebody living near me in Dundalk, MD and was for an attorney in Gaithersburg, MD. They were about an hours drive and multiple tolls away . . . but he said they were doing a fantastic job representing him in a case with Allstate and just about everything could be done over the phone or by mail. He hadn't settled yet but was impressed with the offers they had pushed Allstate up to and the fact that they weren't afraid to push for court litigation. And that was the beginning of my journey. I did some quick online research and then reached out to them. It was after normal business hours so I left a message on their voicemail and posted a message through their webpage inquiring about having my case transferred over to them. And I got a call the next day from Howard Simcox, Jr. From that point on things began to make sense. He gave me the names of each member of his staff I might be interacting with and explained what they would be doing. He explained the claims process from beginning to end and warned me what to look out for if anyone contacted me so I protected my rights. And in only a couple weeks he was up to speed on the status of my case. It didn't take long to confirm that my impression that my file had just been sitting collecting dust with the other attorney was correct when we had to begin filling in all the missing documentation like the initial accident report, photos from the accident, etc. that were missing from the file. Words can't express how helpful everyone at Sussman and Simcox were from beginning to end. In addition to completing all the basic paperwork and negotiating a settlement much higher than I had ever expected there was an abundance of intangible things that made a difference in the quality of service I received. They did everything they could to alleviate the stress the fallout from the accident was creating in my life. Mr. Simcox, and his paralegal, Karin Kiltz, both took the time to explain the ins and outs of how accidents, and resulting bills, can affect your credit and how any negative reports must be cleared once a case is settled and the bills paid. They also explained that my own insurance would pick up where the other driver's left off if my expenses, and pain and suffering, exceeded the other driver's limits. And when I reached a point where I needed physical therapy during the COVID-19 shut downs Karin Kiltz was able to quickly locate a reputable physical therapy office where I could be seen without a lengthy wait. Karin Kiltz seemed almost like she had been appointed as my personal assistant due to the way she remained in touch with me thought the case. No matter what was going on she was supportive and patient, always explaining in detail what was happening and what to expect. Towards the end of the case Mr. Simcox told me we had an option of settling for what Allstate had said was their final offer or continuing on to court. He was more than understanding, but still willing to proceed to court with my case, when I explained I would rather just avoid the additional stress and take the settlement that had been offered. As you can see by all that I've written, the law office of Sussman and Simcox goes well beyond just litigating cases. They put in the time and effort required to walk a client through recovery from an injury to completion of settlement in a caring, supportive way that helps to reduce stress. It was all those "intangible" things they provided that made a world of difference to me as they handled my case and was what resulted in my ongoing high recommendation of their firm to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney. read more

Sussman & Simcox were fantastic to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a personal injury firm in Maryland. I was involved in a motor vehicle accident, and from my initial consult with Howard, he put my concerns at ease. He was honest and upfront with me about the likely outcome of my case from the very beginning. He kept me updated throughout the course of the suit, and he counseled me fairly when I needed to make decisions regarding our next steps. I could not have gone through this experience without Sussman & Simcox. read more
