Bern Solnik is a great lawyer and advocate for justice. He believed in me and put together a strong case. He really understands the legal system and helped me through every step of the process. The insurance company settled for an amount much larger than I thought possible. I highly recommend Mr. Solnik and would not hesitate to call on his services in the future.
In addition to winning money for clients, we assist the client (i) in getting his/her car repaired or replaced; (ii) in getting medical care; and (iii) in getting compensation for time missed from work.
In addition to car accidents, we represent clients injured in other types of accidents, such as work accidents, assaults, some slip and falls, and more.
20 years
Of course we fight hard for you with the insurance companies and in the courts. But we are also very proud of all the help we give you before you are even at the point of talking about money with the other side. We help to make sure that your car gets fixed, that your doctors give you the best care, and that you get paid as soon as possible for time you have to miss from work. We also talk with the insurance company so you can focus on getting better instead of worrying about what to say to the person working for the insurance company.
We have plenty of actual courtroom experience and will aggressively pursue your case. At the same time, we are skilled negotiators. We often negotiate excellent settlements for our clients. But the decision to accept a settlement offer or go to trial is yours alone.
Mr. Solnik graduated Duke University with honors and received his law degree from an Ivy League law school (University of Pennsylvania). Before opening his own practice, Mr. Solnik practiced at three of the nation’s top law firms: Shaw Pittman (now Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman), Seyfarth Shaw, and Leventhal Senter & Lerman (now Lerman Senter PLLC) and received in depth training from top personal injury attorneys.
On the personal side, Bernard Solnik is married, with two children. He was born and raised in Long Island, NY. He is a family man and an avid musician. Earlier in his life he regularly performed and musically collaborated in New York City and London, England with a number of musicians who have gone on to substantial, major label success.
Our motto is: "We are here for you." By this we mean our primary goal is to help you in the best ways we can; to ease your stress, and to look out for your rights. We want you to think of us as a good friend and as your smart, confident, zealous advocate, all rolled into one!

A True Professional
Mr. Solnik provided me with unprecedented support following several auto accidents. Mr. Solnik managed every aspect of my case including insurance claims, damages to my vehicle, rentals, medical coordination, and lost time and wages. The accidents were stressful and required physical therapy - it was such a relief not having to deal with lengthy phone calls with the insurance companies, medical bills, and paperwork. I appreciated Mr. Solnik’s services so I could focus on everything returning to normal. His Spanish skills also helped me clearly understand my case.

Mr. Solnik handled my personal injury case against the state of MD and did an amazing job. He was always very responsive and took his time to explain things to me every step of the way. He really cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to show it. Mr. Solnik was also very thorough in all his research and was always prepared for any questions directed his way. I would highly recommend Mr. Solnik and will continue to work with him in the future!

The best lawyer
Mr.Solnik handled our accident case against the State of Maryland. It took me about 3-4 months to found him, even though I knew a lot of lawyers, they did not take my case because of the difficulty to sue the State. He did an excellent job, he was so prepared, and he really take our case very seriously. Of course HE WON!!!

"Bern is a great lawyer. He is thoughtful and singularly committed to his clients in a way that I do not often see in my colleagues in the Bar. I am an employment lawyer but when my clients call me for an accident or personal injury claim, I know exactly who to send them to for help."
