He knows the facts, he knows the system, he knows the players

Phil Armstrong won't give you a hug and a pat on the back and tell you everything is going to "be okay." He is a straight shooter armed with years of experience and and uncannily keen grasp of the facts and how cases play out in Montgomery County. He is confident, reasonable, demanding, weighs out ...the options, and wins. Despite a thin veneer of arrogance, this lawyer actually cares. I say with absolute certainty that he turned by son's life around. His colleagues were carefully selected by Phil to join him in practice and there is a complete and comprehensive team approach.

THE BEST!

I have had many lawyers...sadly. The good thing is that I have found one who has helped me not only win some cases but also change my life. The advice Phil has given not only helped me make better decisions, but also helped me stay out of trouble with the courts. He has helped reduce charges and has ...helped many of my friends and family also, whether it was criminal or a simple letter to end a dispute. I have since moved on from many of my "issues" and started my own business. I still used Phil for a simple speeding ticket, but I also have many of my employees use him for things such as DUI or any other criminal acts. He is always respectful and honest. He never gives you BS! You will be happy using him, I have yet to have a bad result, and if you want my advice, stay out of trouble so you never need a lawyer. In case you do though, this is the one to call!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly endorse this lawyer. I am a former Assistant State's Attorney (prosecutor) in Montgomery County Maryland as was Mr. Armstrong. I have over 30 years of trial experience. I have worked with Mr. Armstrong where we represented and Co-Defendant in court cases over the years. I have also referred many people to him. He is an excellent trial lawyer and is well respected for his preparation, trial skills and courtroom demeanor by both lawyers and judges. If I were charge with a crime I would want him to defend me as opposed to any other attorney."
