A Highly reccommended, Skilled and Trustworthy Professional

I’ve had the pleasure of working with John Kudel since 2009 as he was referred to me by a close friend who used his services in the past. I’d like to add that it was the first of multiple times, 3 to be exact, I was unfortunate enough to need his services, but fortunate that I knew someone of his ca...liber. When you deal with John, you can rest assured that he is going to do all that he can do, and research all that that he can, to help you through the legal situation you are in. His approach is free of judgement and when you let him know your circumstances, he leaves no stone unturned when he asks you questions. He is not one to sugar coat any situation and will tell it like it is, but oddly at the same time, it will reassure you that he is going to take care of it. The great thing about John is that since he has been doing this for 37 years, there is nothing he hasn’t seen. He has a stellar reputation among his legal peers which you can tell when you’ve attended court with him. The judges and state prosecutors all know him by name and he is well liked, which I can tell you, will help you in the long run in court.  On more than one occasion, I could tell that a favorable outcome was a direct result of John’s relationships. This goes to show you the kind of professional he is. He is truly a lawyer you can trust. While this may sound like an oxymoron, I can assure you first hand that with John, you will get first class treatment, no matter how small (or large) the offense.  I have recommended John to countless friends and even family members who have all worked with him. That goes to show how much he is trusted. If you are considering John to represent you, I would look no further.  He is not only skilled, knowledgeable and professional, he is all around a really nice person you would like to get to know.

Extremely Professional and Wise Attorney

John Kudel made it possible for me to have probation before judgement when I was charged with a DUI. He made my paraphernalia charge literally disappear. Not to mention, he has gotten me through a very complication traffic incident with mininal stress and financial burden. I highly recommend John ...Kudel to anyone seeking an experienced, highly intelligent, and empathetic lawyer for their legal matters. He treated me like a family member from start to finish. Thank you John!

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Kudel is an excellent attorney. He kept in constant contact with me and resolved my situation far beyond my expectations. Mr. Kudel is a highly skilled atteorney as was able to negotiate with the district attorney to provide me with the best results. I am very grateful for everything he was able ...to do to resolve my situation. I highly recommend Mr. Kudel for anyone facing a difficult legal challenge, as I know he will tirelessly work to provide the best resolution for your case.

Fantastic Lawyer!!

I was referred to Mr. Kudel by a friend who had previously used him in her DWI/DUI case. She told me how great of a lawyer Mr. Kudel was but it wasn't until I hired him as my lawyer in my own DUI/DWI case I saw how great of a lawyer Mr. Kudel is. I have never been in serious "trouble" with the law be...fore so I was very nervous about my pending charges. Once I had my first consultation with Mr. Kudel all of my worries subsided. Mr. Kudel is very knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer and has 37 years of practice under his belt. If you want an experienced lawyer who is going to work hard to achieve the best possible outcome for your pending criminal charges, you definitely want John Kudel as your Lawyer! I would recommend him or anyone at the law practice he works for which is Karp, Wigodsky, Norwind, Kudel & Gold, P.A. located in Rockville MD. Mr. Kudel primarily practices criminal, traffic and juvenile delinquency defense work but his partners specialize in personal injury, medical malpractice, civil litigation, family law, and estate planning so whatever legal situation you find yourself in there is a lawyer for you!

Excellent Service

Mr.Kudel Gave very good service and got my 2 citations dropped while I was already on probation for a felony. It was the best experience i've had with any lawyer.
