My case

I ain't gonna lie..at first I was a lil suspect about his tactics! I can say now that he super exceeded my expectations!!! His opening statement was very well put togeather. His questions on cross examination was superb!!!! His attention to details was on point!! From police to witness for the state ...he far exceeded any expectations I had!!!! His closing argument was more than I could of asked for...Really appreciate having Mr. ROYER as my defense attorney..He literally saved my life! Hopefully I would never have to use him again. If I ever need another defense attorney it will no doubt itll definitely be him..He is worth more than his weight in gold...Thank you so much MR.Royer!

Great Lawyer

I could not be happier with my choice ...awesome lawyer. I had an out of state case from many years ago and was not happy with any of my 5 consultations....trusted in Mr. Royer, and am glad I did. He and his asst made an extremely stressful situation into a manageable one. Thank You Paul!!!

solid experience

Paul demonstrates a keen sense of practicality with respect to the charges I was faced with. I visited with Paul to explain my plight and see if he was going to be a viable option for me. He was gracious with his time, forthcoming with his preliminary assessment, and positive about his ability to hel...p me through the legal process. I hired him and he effectively got the case dismissed! He is is a solid, versatile attorney and I plan to use him for any future legal issues I might have.

General practice lawyer | Mar 05

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. Paul is a really great Attorney. He is very intelligent and is a strong advocate for ALL his clients. The discipline he received in another State was so unfair, as he did absolutely nothing wrong. Plus it was so minor, it was over a very small payment for a taxi cab ride. I can tell any client, and I have practiced for 50 years, and still practice, and I am so pleased that Paul Royer is with our Firm. He is a real credit to our Law Firm.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2012.

Suspension issued in MD, 2012

updated on 03/22/2017

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Paul’s comment:

“In 2009 I was charged with failure to pay a $19.00 taxi fare after a long night out with old friends from high school in D.C. I'm not making excuses but in those days taxis didn't take credit cards and Uber did not exist. Despite my attempts to pay I ended up with a 30 day suspension and a drastically changed life. I understand first hand how the legal system can affect good people and if you have any questions about me or my character please call.”
