Hardworking, Knowledgeable and Skillful Lawyer

Max defended me in a DUI case which ultimately resulted in a Not Guilty verdict. Throughout the process, he was consistent in fighting for my innocence and not just taking a guilty PBJ plea like many other lawyers and defendants do in that situation. He seemed to have a deep knowledge of the law and ...was a very skilled communicator and arguer in court. He was also a nice, friendly person and was sympathetic to my situation. I would highly reccomend Max, especially for a DUI case.

Master of his craft

I found myself in my 40s facing what could’ve possibly added up to be years. With so much on the line I needed a good lawyer. There’s nothing I could say on here that would do the job that Max did any justice! Outstanding, comes to mind! He got to know me, the situation, I felt like I had somebody in... my corner that actually cared! And in return I felt way more relaxed when we finally did go to court! Max really is one of the great ones(master of his craft) and I would recommend him to anyone that is “going through it”!

EXCELLENT attorney

Mr Frizalone helped me with a DUI charge incurred in Carroll County MD. He was EXCELLENT. He was knowledgeable, VERY supportive, and able to secure a plea deal that was fair and manageable. He was very pleasant to deal with, and was also very easy to get in touch with. Definitely worth considering as... a top tier attorney against DUI/DWI charges.

Outstanding Representation

During our initial consultation Mr. Frizalone immediately gained my confidence with his knowledgeable, and concise responses. This man is ready for action. Retained. Mr. Frizalone took swift action, explaining everything every step of the way. Falsely accused, I was under extreme duress, Mr.... Frizalone quickly reviewed all evidence and advised me that he believed the case was weak at best and the state would (most likely) not proceed. I immediately felt huge relief because this man exudes confidence and integrity. I retained Mr. Frizalone for 3 related cases and EVERYTHING that he stated to me ultimately came true. Additionally , Mr. Frizalone responded to my every question via email, or text or phone as quickly as he possibly could. This man cared about me and my every concern. Mr Frizalone amazed me with how quickly he developed his relationships with other professionals, very polite and charismatic. His excellent reputation in another jurisdiction was pivotal to my release on bail after being falsely accused. Many attorneys show up slovenly , or ungroomed, but Mr. Frizalone always appeared very sharp and professional in every way. In closing, I cannot recommend Mr. Frizalone enough. I could not have received better representation at any cost. Well done Mr. Frizalone. You have my respect and gratitude sir.
