Excellent

I rarely ever write reviews however, my experience with Eric Stravitz was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient. He took the time go over every detail of my case and though I have an extremely busy schedule where I am almost never available, he always took the time to wor...k with me, reach out to me and find a way to communicate with me. He provided excellent advice and I never felt like I was "just another client". I will work with him again in the future if I need to and refer everyone who needs a lawyer to his firm. Thanks again for everything

Excellent, very highly recommended.

I cannot recommend hiring Eric enough. My wife and I were in an automobile accident in 2015 and he was referred to us by our doctor. He was always courteous, professional, and very diligent in his work for us. He helped is get  a much better settlement than we would have ever been able to get without... him. You will be extremely happy if you hire him.

Excellent Attorney

I was referred to Eric by friends after I was involved in an accident with an automobile while cycling. I ended up with a broken wrist among other issues. Eric was excellent and I don’t think I could have gotten better advice as well as legal support elsewhere. Eric is very professional and caring.... His top priority was that I got all my medical needs taken care of before anything else. Eric and his assistant Laura were very detailed oriented and I don’t think I was capable of dealing with the aftermath on my own, specially when dealing with insurance companies, including my own policy. Throughout the process Eric communicated with me whenever there was an update as well as presented me with all possible course of actions (and the possible outcomes) so that I can be well informed and make the right decision. In the end, I was very happy with the outcome and I highly recommend Eric’s service if you have a personal injury case.

Outstanding Litigator

I consulted with Mr. Stravitz today about a personal injury case. Once again, he demonstrated that his brilliant mind and his deep compassion for his clients make him a superb trial lawyer. I will always recommend Eric to anyone with a personal injury case who wants the best lawyer in town by his sid...e.

Highly Competent Lawyer

It was through pure luck that I found Mr. Stravitz on the Internet. My husband’s death was both untimely and unexpected. I was in a quandary and found it difficult to deal many financial and legal matters. Between grieving my husband’s death and understanding the financal complexities (since he had ...died without a will). It was with a heavy heart that I started the search for a very special lawyer. He would have to be extremely tolerant, patient, and kind, as I have both limited driving and computer skills. Since I was convinced that my husband passed away due to medical negligence, many lawyers were not willing to accept my case. However, it was fortunate that I found Mr. Stravitz. He was wonderful with his patience and perseverance and he guided me through all the intricacies of the case we had made against the doctor. It was long and laborious. He went above and beyond the call of duty and finally, after a prolonged battle, he won the case for me. What can I say but a very big THANK YOU from the bottom of his heart. I hope his practice continues to flourish and reach new heights. I would highly recommend him for his services.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Eric for over 10 years. We were Associates at the Baltimore law firm of Gordon, Feinblatt. After both of us left Gordon, Feinblatt, I have continued to discuss legal matters with Eric. Eric is a great resource for personal injury and trial matters. Eric is an excellent trial attorney. He has extensive experience trying cases in Maryland, DC and Virginia. Recently, he lectured to a group of attorneys on the use of experts. His knowledge of this subject was extensive. I have a great deal of confidence in Eric's skills and judgment."
