"We don’t think we could have ever found a bigger blessing than meeting Jeremy Eldridge. He never made us feel like we were anything but his #1 clients and friends. He created a bond with our whole family. We put our whole world in his hands and he delivered. We would say that Jeremy is one of the best litigators. He was always very personable and available. His Administrative Assistant always went above and beyond as well; for example, the client got bail on a Friday, and the AA hand delivered the paperwork under the worst conditions; ie. weather, time restraints, it was a holiday, etc. His whole office was always quick to respond to all of our calls. His office always made us feel respected and heard. We would recommend this lawyer and this firm to anyone.” The Rogers Family

I wish I could give him 6 stars!

I wish I could give him 6 stars!

This man went above and beyond for me, and I don't want to think about what would have happened if I didn't hire him. I saw him pull out all the stops, he doesn't back down from a challenge and will fight for the best possible outcome. Most definitely a very savvy navigator of the courtrooms of Maryland. He worked wonders with my case, he can probably do the same for yours.

If you need an excellent lawyer; call Jeremy!

Earlier this year, my family was faced with a devastating situation that we did not know how to handle. We reached out to several lawyers; however, they did not provide the personalized touch that Jeremy did. He personally walked my family through each step of the court process, managed expectations and provided an unbelievable outcome. We consider Jeremy our family lawyer! I don’t write reviews at all so for me to write this one, speaks volumes to Jeremy’s character, knowledge, experience of the Maryland Judicial system and positive outcomes! If you need an excellent lawyer; call Jeremy!

Great experience!

Jeremy was very knowledgeable about my situation and potential outcomes at every step. He and his team were efficient and put my needs first.

Trustworthy Lawyer

I was locked up with NO BAIL for whipping my child butt. That's right child abuse charges. I hired Jeremy Eldridge for the case . This was the best decision I ever made . I'm a great father and this is unbelievable to be locked up for disciplining your child. After the first week with Jemery on the case he told me the truth. He didn't lie or play the game of just pay me and I'll handle it ( which I have got from alot of lawyers). He's a straight shooter and tells you the good , the bad , and the ugly . I was facing years in jail and also not being able to see my child. Jeremy jumped right in on the case and after a couple weeks later I was released from jail and he had all the charges dropped. SIMPLY AMAZING!!! BEST LAWYER I EVER HAD !!!!!!!

"I appreciate greatness"

When I had no one in my corner that believed in me my attorney Mr Eldridge went above and beyond to help me like no other. I want to personally thank him by sharing my experience. "Sit with the winners the conversation is different"! Thank you again!!

Thank you Jeremy

Jeremy was easy to work with and got everything dismissed. He returned calls when I contacted him. His staff was also helpful when he wasn't available.

Posted by Daniela Fuentes | November 2, 2022

Excellent Lawyer!!

The best lawyer in the Maryland area!! Jeremy was such a help in my father’s case he was always answering any questions we had and did an amazing work during the courts dates.

Jeremy Eldridge is an AWESOME Attorney!!!

I was charged with a criminal matter in early 2020. This was my first time ever having to face a criminal matter. Jeremy Eldridge was highly recommended by a family friend to represent me in this matter. From the moment I reached out to Jeremy to the happy ending of this case, I felt confident in my decision to retain Jeremy as my lawyer. As you can imagine, I had a multitude of questions and concerns and Jeremy was able to answer every question and prepare me for every possible scenario. I was originally charged with a felony and 2 misdemeanors. By the time of trial, Jeremy was able to reduce the charges to one misdemeanor. My sentencing was better than expected and offered an opportunity for expungement after the unsupervised probation ended. The end result was a misdemeanor that has now been expunged due to Jeremy’s diligence in representing me in this matter. COVID-19 presented its own challenges with postponed hearings, etc. but Mr. Eldridge and his staff kept me informed during every step of the process. I would highly recommend using Jeremy to represent you in all legal matters.

A Skillful and Thoughtful Attorney

I hired Mr. Eldridge to represent a young family friend who was charged as an adult in a Baltimore County criminal case. I was impressed with his skill as a lawyer and his kindness, and with the favorable result he achieved. He used his knowledge of the law and the court to obtain a transfer to the juvenile court and to negotiate a very fair settlement that will enable his young client to get on with his life. He was also very kind in dealing with the client’s family and immigrant mother, fully explaining the process and making himself available for questions. I strongly recommend Mr. Eldridge to anyone seeking criminal representation in the Baltimore area.

Why Mr. Jeremy Eldridge Is THE Premier Lawyer in The State Of Maryland

Not only was Mr.Eldridge personally kind and respectful of my situation but he was more then willing to accommodate me during work hours as well as email communication. He showed up on time and professionally dressed and was extremely well-mannered. I 100% recommend Mr.Eldridge to anyone questioning what their next steps are in their legal process.

Excellent and knowledgable

I hired Mr. Eldridge to defend an accusation of a second degree assault that was exaggerated. Mr. Eldridge was able to have my case dismissed. I highly recommend him and if you hire him just trust him.

Jeremy is the absolute best!!

Jeremy was such a great and positive lawyer during my family's ordeal. From start to finish he was confident, genuine, and upbeat which kept us at ease throughout the whole process. He clearly walked us through everything that was going to happen, he was clear and concise, which made us feel confident about what the outcome was going to be. While we were in court my wife and I were naturally nervous. Jeremy picked up on in instantly and distracted us with some fun banter until our case was called. He was very professional and relatable which really helped make everything flow so smoothly. If your ever in a bind and you find yourself needing a criminal lawyer, look no further than Jeremy Eldridge.

Jeremy Eldridge is arguably Baltimore’s best Lawyer!!

Choosing Jeremy Eldridge will be the greatest decision you’ll ever make!!! I went through a stressful and headache-filled year involving an unfortunate accusation. However, retaining Jeremy as my lawyer was probably the greatest decision to date in my life. He’s knowledgeable, experienced, helpful, responsive, thoughtful, and truly cares for his clients!! With Jeremy leading the helm, we were able to not only win the case but got the entire record thrown out. I am honored to be represented by such a fantastic lawyer, and I couldn’t thank him enough for the work, effort, and time he put into my case! Thanks, Jeremy! You are a lifesaver!
