Professional and Dedicated Attorney

In April 2020, Mr. Charles "Charlie" Lamari was referred to me as a possible attorney to represent my father in a very complicated sale of property. Mr. Lamari took the painstaking task of researching the background of this property, reviewing the Will, deed, court documents etc. He also scheduled ...conference calls and zoom meetings with family members, drafted emails and represented our interests in everyway. Along with all that, Charlie promptly responded to my numerous emails. After a long arduous process, Mr. Lamari successfully won our case and the sale of the property went through. We are extremely grateful for the extended amount of time Charlie dedicated to this case. My family was able to resolve a family dispute that could have lasted many more years but with his assistance, we prevailed. On behalf of my family, thank you so much Charlie! We appreciate you so much.

Worst Ever

This guy tried to intimidate me by walking up to me in a very aggressive fashion. He was mad because I questioned him on my case and was pointing out he was a liar. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy. He threatened to droppl my case 2 weeks before my court date. Very unprofessional

Lamont, without violating any attorney-client privileged information, I feel it is necessary to respond. In November 2017, you retained our office to represent you in a property damage dispute because your insurance carrier denied your property damage claim. To that end, we filed a Breach of Contract Complaint in the District Court of Maryland for Prince George's County. A trial date was approaching so I scheduled a meeting in our office to answer discovery and prepare for trial. After that meeting I terminated our attorney-client relationship as a result of your behavior. Specifically, at our meeting I notified you that opposing counsel was filing a Motion for Continuance. I further explained that the Motion for Continuance would likely be granted because opposing counsel just got into the case, and he needed time to obtain an expert witness. At this point you became belligerent, and made several meritless allegations towards me. Thereafter, you began raising your voice using obscenities. This behavior continued as I escorted you to our front down where you began yelling racial slurs towards me, and approached me in an aggressive manner. This tirade was heard throughout our office. Once you finally calmed down I instructed you that I could no longer represent you, and offered to provide you with names of other attorneys who may be able to assist you going forward.

Excellent

Charlie is amazing, glad I had a chance for him to represent me on numerous occurrences within the last year during the COVID-19(PANDEMIC). I believe I was one of many who won their case against three individuals who couldn’t keep their story together. He is very professional kept me updated on info...rmation dealing with cases. I will be recommending him to all my friends and family.

Charles Lamari is more than just a lawyer

When I was rear ended and injured in the accident, I was very confused about next steps and wasn't even sure if I should hire an attorney. I consulted with Mr. Lamari, and he guided me through the process every step of the way and helped me make a decision. He didn't pressure me, but simply made sure... I understood what could happen if I chose to hire him. I'm so glad I did. He made sure I always knew was going on with my case and went above and beyond to make the process as smooth and simple as possible for me. After he explained what he expected would happen with the case, he worked tirelessly to reach the outcome we hoped for. He did more for me than simply handle the legal aspects of my case. I asked him if he had recommendations for a provider for my care, and he even called and made an appointment for me! The service provider he recommended was also excellent. When it was time to work with the insurance company for my claim, he kept me informed without overloading me with details. I'm sure it was a very frustrating process, but I never once felt the frustration. Mr. Lamari is a true professional and provided excellent support and handled my case better than I could have expected. He was honest, dependable, knowledgeable, and patient. I highly recommend him and would hire him again in a heartbeat, but hopefully I won't have to.
