Not only settle, but the whole 6 months of building a case was never shown in court because we never had the chance to enter. I regret letting my husband convincing me that chad was doing the right thing for us. we are right where we started and the defendant is not feeling any remorse nor financial debt, but we are. I am sad to be writing this but i cant help but feel we should of fought til the very end, not settle because the defendant wanted to. He advised us it was the best thing to do because we had no idea what the judge would rule. The favor was towards us, we did everything right, we had amount of overnights, ( which he said she said didnt apply, this is based on calculations and what we would be awarded) parenting classes everything!!! 6 months chad!!! and we have everything we had before, and are still in debt. The defendant isn't and wasn't defeated, we were. -Delilah p.s This is one family's opinion :(

    At the beginning of the year, I had been picked up by the police in Baltimore for suspicion of…read moredriving under the influence. For those who have ever been through this: you know it is, without a doubt, the most stressful time of your life. I was ashamed, thoroughly depressed, and so overwhelmed- I didn't know what to do. I asked my trusty friend Google, who referred me to Mr. Tayter. Ed focuses primarily on Maryland DUI law, which keeps his fingers on the pulse of the court system. His knowledge and confidence immediately put me at ease. He didn't promise me the moon, but realistically told me how my bad situation was going to keep from getting any worse. The plan was simple: do the few things I was asked, do them on time, and let Ed handle the hard work. Because of his knowledge, insight, and experience- I have a second lease on life. Without Ed, my punishment would have been much more severe. Ed is assertive, tenacious, and most important: direct. Hell, I'd even invite him to a BBQ! If you're in trouble- don't wait. Call someone immediately. I would put my good name and reputation on the line every time to recommend Ed Tayter and his practice. If you have any questions about his work, I'd be happy to serve as a reference!

    I can not thank Atty Tayter enough. He worked his ass off on my case. We fought and fought with…read morethese judges to make our point clear and it finally worked. It was a clear observation that I wasn't under the influence. My DWI I once had in June was acquitted as of today. I can now get it expunged. I thank you soooo much! You must all hire him for your DWI/DUI cases. I promise you he won't fail your needs.

    I wish I could leave a rating of -5!…read more In April of 2022, I hired Mr. Florian Tabaku esq, an attorney at James Crawford law firm in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, to represent me in my divorce case. My experience with Mr. Tabaku and this firm was absolutely terrible! I had to schedule regular meetings with Mr. Tabaku to make sure things were being completed in the time frame he told me they would. Either Mr. Tabaku and James Crawford law firm are way too busy or there was simply a lack of interest in my case. Mr. Tabaku frequently promised to file motions, request subpoenas and other work would be completed by certain dates and would not be delivered. I would give an additional 3-day grace period and it still would not be done so I was compelled to begin scheduling weekly meetings to make sure he is doing the things he is promising he would do by the dates he promised them. These weekly meetings added up my costs. Additionally, my father, uncle, and I had to have more than 7 meetings with Mr. Tabaku and/or Zachary Groves (Partner at James Crawford Law Firm) to address Mr. Tabaku's lack of responsiveness (disappearing for weeks at a time), late motions, and other grievances. Ironically, I was billed for these meetings as well. I would not have had to request these meetings regularly if Mr. Tabaku had simply met the expectations he set. Divorce is a very stressful event as it is. For your attorney to not meet deadlines that were promised to me and with no communication only further adds to the anxiety. My grievances with this law firm include: * Intentionally setting false expectations about my case to run up my costs * An inability or unwillingness to give me a straight answer about what kind of outcome to expect in my case * Terrible responsiveness- Phone calls or emails not being returned for up to 4 weeks at a time * Numerous mistakes made on my case then lying to cover it up * Billing me for time taken to fix his mistakes * Other unethical billing practices * Disinterest and lack of any compassion during my entire case * Continual disorganization or confusion concerning my case * An inability to remember key facts about my case despite billing many hours for "review" * Lack of trust due to numerous untruths * Completely ignoring important deadlines which cost me additional legal fees * Documents or information I have been promised that never appear then billing me for follow up * Disagreement about my bottom-line goals in the case * Deviation from what we have agreed to ask for or do without an explanation * Engaging in unnecessary actions that run up attorney fees * Repeatedly doing what he wanted instead of doing what I asked * Rude and disrespectful communication * Negligence: typos and errors in multiple documents filed As it stands, I have accumulated over $50,000 in legal fees when my case did not even make it to trial. My life has been a complete hell since this order was entered and a large part of this is due to Mr. Tabaku's overpromises, miscommunication, unjust billing practices, and pure outright negligence. Even a 100% refund would not make up for the stress and pain I have endured. Hire Florian Tabaku at James Crawford Law firm if you want your life ruined!

    I had physical custody of my three young children, when my ex-wife filed for a custody…read moremodification. She was represented by two well-seasoned divorce and child custody trial lawyers with experience in national high-profile cases. After almost two years of paying my attorney, I could not afford to pay her to represent me at my child custody, child support and divorce trials. I was referred to Mr. Tabaku by my ex-lawyer after my ex-wife and her attorneys bankrupted me. Mr. Tabaku understood my trouble and agreed to represent me. The first time I met Mr. Tabaku, I immediately noticed his calm demeanor. He listened and was genuinely sympathetic. There was a quiet confidence about him that brought me peace. I was so use to complete chaos. My ex-attorney and my ex-wife's attorneys yelling and arguing every conversation. All the lies and ill feelings. Life was stressful! Mr. Tabaku changed all of that immediately. Mr. Tabaku took over my case shortly before my child support and child custody trial. I was a nervous wreck! Almost two years of paperwork behind my children and I. How on God's green earth was he going to know everything before trial? The day of the trial, Mr. Tabaku knew the LAW and we won our trial. Mr. Tabaku later got me what I wanted in the divorce too. My wife appealed the decision but Mr. Tabaku was flawless in handling the appeal as well. Never giving into the opposition's shenanigans or intimidation tactics. I thank God, I crossed paths with Mr. Tabaku. He is truly a genuine person and is committed to fight for fathers' rights! Although I would not expect anything less for mothers' rights. He is passionate about his work and clients. My children and I Thank him!

    If there were an option for 10 stars, this law firm--and especially Amos and Rachel--would deserve…read moreevery one of them. I came to Amos during an extremely high-conflict legal situation involving my ex husband and specifically needed strong, strategic representation. He came highly recommended, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions I could have made. Amos and Rachel are an exceptional team. Their ability to work collaboratively, think several steps ahead, and craft thoughtful, creative legal strategies is truly remarkable. They are sharp, calculated, and incredibly effective, but what makes them extraordinary is that they combine that legal brilliance with genuine care for the families they represent. Managing a stressful situation with someone who is a narcissist and mentally abusive adds an additional layer to the level of care needed for this type of case. Throughout our two-year case, they remained deeply invested in achieving the outcome they truly believed my children and I deserved. They advocated fiercely in court, fought tirelessly for my children's needs, and approached every challenge with both compassion and absolute professionalism. They were always conscious of my time and resources for funding my representation. Their communication was also outstanding. I was never left wondering where things stood, what the next step was, or whether something was being handled. They were consistently proactive, responsive, and organized, which gave me an incredible sense of confidence during a very difficult time. It was also clear in every court appearance that they are highly respected. The professionalism and rapport they have with court staff, clerks, and others in the legal system speaks volumes about the reputation they have built. If you need attorneys who are strategic, relentless, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what they do, I cannot recommend Amos and Rachel highly enough. They helped secure an incredible outcome for my family, and I will always be grateful for their brilliance, integrity, and unwavering advocacy.

My experience with them was truly a pleasure despite the circumstances. Marni Schwartz and Rachel Sodergreen are elite professionals that knows there areas of practice very well. They handled my case with the upmost care and looked out for my best interest at all times including cost effective ways to get things done as effectively as possible without compromising quality of work. I also appreciated their patience in listening to my concerns during difficult moments, showing empathy, speaking up on my behalf when it was necessary, and preparing me well every step of the way. I highly recommend these rock star ladies for your legal needs. I wish I could give the firm more than five stars as it's well deserved!!!
