Unwavering Dedication and Compassionate Advocate

We cannot say enough about the incredible experience we had with Chris Flohr. From the very beginning, he was deeply involved in our loved ones case, using his three decades of mental health experience to help avoid jail and get the support truly needed. What sets Chris Flohr apart is not just his l...egal expertise, but his deep understanding of mental health. He took the time to educate us, ensuring we understood every step of the process. His empathy, patience, and ability to truly listen made all the difference during such a stressful time. It was clear from day one that he genuinely cares about his clients and their families. Navigating the legal system when mental health and criminal law intersect is overwhelming, but Chris Flohr made it manageable. His expert guidance helped us understand the complexities of the system, ensuring our loved ones mental health needs were recognized rather than ignored. His dedication was unwavering—he guided us from start to finish, leaving no stone unturned. It’s rare to find someone who is not only a top-tier attorney but also a compassionate advocate. If you need someone who will fight for you with knowledge, heart, and expertise, Chris Flohr is the one you want by your side. Our family is forever grateful!

Calm in the Storm

It is difficult to write this review because Chris did so much good for our family. We hired Chris to represent our son in a juvenile matter. With my son Chris was compassionate, understanding, and honest. Chris truly showed that he cared about the overall wellbeing of our child and the impac...t that this situation had brought our family and you could feel that this was genuine. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and throughout every phase of this process he took the time to explain to us what was happening. He truly was our calm while in this storm. Chris fought for our son in a way that I feel confident saying no other attorney would have. He took the time to speak to everyone who could potential affect the outcomes of our case. I believe this personal touch that he applied really helped in us winning. While we hope to never have to use Chris again I would recommend him.

Helpful, Knowledgable, and Unique

I was really happy with the work that Mr. Flohr and his team provided me regarding my traffic case. The administrative staff were extremely helpful and quick to respond to any emails and questions. I also really appreciated that Chris was available to answer any questions that might have come up an...d I found his approach to discussing my case, my background, and to revisit the event to be unique and different than what I think most other defense attorneys would do. Chris was a warm and understanding individual that made me feel comfortable to talk and discuss the case without any judgments or preconceived notions. I highly recommend Mr. Flohr and his office if there is a case in which you need legal representation.

Hire Chris Flohr Immediately!

I found myself facing some very serious criminal charges. As someone with no prior criminal history to speak of, aside from one off traffic violations, I was scared, shocked, and extremely concerned about how the case would effect my future. Chris reviewed the facts of my case thoroughly, and p...erformed in depth legal analysis. He put together a defense strategy that he implemented quickly and successfully. Chris went above an beyond his duties by performing tasks that frankly, I think most other criminal defense attorney's would be to lazy to perform. I suspect this is because he actually cares about how these cases effect his clients, not just how each case effects the balance in his bank account. His response time to overall questions, and status updates were reasonable, and his fees are extremely reasonable considering the results that he delivers. He even went as far as providing me with a payment plan. Don't be fooled by the "you get what you pay for" strategy these high priced defense attorneys pitch. I've heard horror stories of folks retaining the most expensive attorney around only to find out that the top dollar attorney could care less about there case, and may actually not that great of an overall attorney. Results matter. I could not have hoped for a better outcome with my own case, and now I can move on with my life. This guy is the real deal. Do yourself a favor, and hire him today.

"I first met Chris about 15 years ago. As Chris says, he cut his teeth in New York, where represented people on every charge from turnstyle jumping to homicide. If I were ever in trouble with the law, I would turn to this outstanding lawyer who goes to bat for his clients, because he really cares. He is one of the most respected criminal defense lawyers in Maryland, is a former President of the Maryland Criminal Defense Attorneys Association, and is a graduate of the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Early in my career, I worked with Chris Flohr on hundreds of criminal cases. I have frequently consulted with him since that time. Chris is one of the finest criminal defense attorneys I know. He is experienced, knowledgeable, always prepared and uncompromisingly ethical. He is very imaginative, a quality not seen in many attorneys. He is an extremely agressive advocate who always puts his clients first. If you think of the most zealous defense attorney you have ever read about or seen or TV or at the movies, you will know what Chris Flohr is like."

Relationship: Friend

"Chris Flohr is one of my favorite area lawyers, a friend and confidant. He and I share the view that when a client is in need, colleagues join to put their heads together to figure out how to neutralize and eliminate formidable obstacles and how to persuade powerfully. I have trusted Chris and his law partner Bill multiple times for referrals due to date conflicts, co-defendants, and for brainstorming on cases. Chris has been on the money for brainstorming cases, and numerous times has gone out of his way after hours to do that, sometimes with my clients present. Chris and Bill share my old fashioned view of helping others rise as we rise, including clients and fellow lawyers."
