Highly recommend Thomas Whitkop

Tom Whitkop was paneled to me for my criminal defense on felony charges. He represented me on the case through 4 or 5 appearances in court over a 3 year period. Preliminary, plea agreement, sentencing, probation adjustments, and finally a request for closing out probabtion early. He was professiona...l, attentive, knowledgeable, and exceedingly competent on all occasions and returned decisions favorable to me. He took time to help me expunge old charges from my record on two occasions. He is the most helpful, professional, and committed lawyer I've ever been represented by. I highly recommend his services.

Car accident

Three years ago my family and I were in a five car accident. I'm not sure if this is a law shared in other states, but in Maryland if you hit a person in front of you the law puts you at fault even if they cut in front of you and slam on their brakes, we were the middle car and were pushed into the c...ar infront of us. Tom gave excellent advice in what records to keep and what actions to take in making sure we would have the best chances of getting what was deserved of our case, especially under the circumstances. Our case was handled in a timely mannor and with professionalism. Mr. Witkop did an excellent job at getting the physical therapist and a some of the doctors to cut their costs down as well making the settlement that much greater. I am greatful of his hard work and he has handled cases of my other family members before my own, I would highly recommend him and do to all friends and family.
