I am a diehard bicycle commuter, making the 6-mile trek each way on the streets of Maryland and DC daily. I've been commuting by bike for the past 10 years, rain or shine. Not only does this keep me in semi-decent shape, it really gives me a good perspective for the bicycle accident cases we handle in DC, Maryland and Virginia. I hope you will visit our website - - and check out the bicycle riders FAQs we put together. You'll also find the local laws (DC, MD & VA) relating to cycling. Be safe!

A Lawyer You Can Trust!
While driving from out of state to my new home in Florida, I was involved in a bizarre, unbelievable accident. I had never required legal assistance and did not know who to turn to for help.

COVID
I was in a car accident in January and COVID happened and John and his team took care of my case and I received a fair settlement.
"I endorse this lawyer. John is extremely hard working and an amazing mentor. One of the best bosses I've ever had. His people skills translate well to his lawyering skills, as many clients can testify."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. John is very bright and works hard and will be very honest with you about whether you have a strong case or not."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have referred PI clients to him in the past and they have been very pleased with his performance."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. John was opposing counsel in a case of mine a few years back. He was an excellent advocate for his clients but also reasonable, civil, and practical."
