Awesome Lawyer

I strongly recommend Robert as the best attorney in the world. All my charges were dropped! I met with another lawyer and he told me that I was going to have a felony record which made feel like my situation was hopeless. But a friend of my uncle told me to call Gerstenfield and Demirji and talk t...o Robert. I did and Robert spent a lot of time looking over my case with me. Robert saw the case totally different from the first lawyer. He was very supportive and told me that I did have a good chance of beating the charges or at least the felony ones. The case yook a while and the whole time they kept me up to date. If you call Robert, either he or his paralegal or his partner get back to you right away. And my Christmas gift is that Robert got the charges dismissed. My advice is DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE!

Amazing attorney

I hired Robert to represent me in a criminal case. He more than exceeded my expectations! His social IQ is very high and he knew how to speak with the judge to let me off easy. Extremely happy with him and if I ever get in trouble again, he will be my first and only call.

Excellent attorney

I’m from NY and have no knowledge about the Maryland court system. I contacted a few lawyers in the area via telephone but felt most comfortable with working with this team. When I contacted Gary to assist me he assured me that everything would be ok. Before making my final decision on which attorney... I wanted to work with I contacted the office again and shared my concerns with Robert and he immediately looked into my case and assured me that it was not as bad as I thought and immediately put my worries at ease. It was very challenging for me living in NY but Robert executed and delivered the results he promised. I’m very grateful for his his services.

3rd DUI and Walked out of Court!

AA and my sponsor along with love and support of family and I’m 134days sober & counting. Oh, and I didn’t go to jail even tho it’s my 3rd DUI. Robert, Gary and Iris were amazing. I talked to more than 5 lawyers, all good but when I met Robert & Gary I found what I was looking for. I needed help ...not jail. Some crazy argument about chain of custody and the case against me fell apart. I am blessed. This is my way of passing it on.

Highly Effective

Gary and Rob took my case and gave the best defense I could ask for. Robert conducted in-depth research and prepared the best case for my defense. Gary then came to the courtroom on the day of the trial with his charisma on full display and got my charges dropped in full. A true team effort and a job... well done.

"I strongly endorse Mr. Demirji because he has demonstrated all of the skills necessary to successfully represent his client -- he is smart, thorough, diligent and very knowledgeable in the areas of criminal and DUI/DWI law. He also is persoanble, a skill that serves him well when dealing the state's attorneys and communicating with the judges."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jun 18

Relationship: Co-worker

"Robert is an amazingly effective and truly gifted litigator and advocate. There is no problem too great or dilemma too difficult that he cannot solve. Among journeymen lawyers, Robert is universally recognized as a master. But, what really distinguishes Robert as among the elite of trial lawyers is the warmth and compassion he brings in resolving the seemingly unsolvable legal issues that many his clients face."
