Personal Injury 40%

As a trial attorney for over twenty (20) years I have had numerous successful cases against individuals and insurance companies in serious personal injury and medical malpractice cases. I also have been sought in referral of personal injury cases by other law firms when negotiations have failed and litigation must be pursued. This mutually beneficial referral arrangement has resulted in providing extensive legal services to individuals and corporations in the local community.

Unprofessional

Extremely Poor Service from Intake Worker I'm extremely disappointed with the service I received from the intake worker at Joseph OStads Attorney's Office. From the moment I called, I was met with a dismissive and rude attitude. The intake worker seemed utterly disinterested in assisti...ng me. She was curt, abrasive, and made it clear she wanted to get me off the phone as quickly as possible. Her tone was unprofessional, and her responses were brief and unhelpful. When I tried to explain my situation, she interrupted me multiple times, clearly not listening to my concerns. Her sole focus seemed to be on rushing through the call, rather than providing any meaningful assistance. I was shocked and disappointed by the lack of professionalism displayed by the intake worker. As the first point of contact for potential clients, her behavior was unacceptable and reflects poorly on the entire office. I would strongly advise others to seek legal assistance elsewhere.

Rapid response and peace of mind... It's like having an army go to battle for you!

After six months of handling my own case I decided to seek outside help. Based on recommendations I called a handful of attorneys. The office of Mr. Ostad was the only one who readily had a paralegal available despite the fact it was Friday afternoon when most other offices were closed. Within a few ...minutes I was speaking directly with Daniel P. Connors an Associate at Ostad Law. Mr. Connors helped put things in perspective and immediately offered a lot of comfort. For months I've gone at it alone and now I feel like I have an army to back me up. I usually turn to attorney Erica Bazzell whom I've known for 25 years for my legal dealings. I met her while she was still a law student at Columbia University Law School. Needless to say, turning to anyone other than Ms. Bazzell was difficult. However, my case is in Baltimore City and Ms. Bazzell is licensed to practice in Philadelphia not Baltimore. Based on recommendations I got in touch with Mr. Ostad's office and I'm glad I made the right decision. My case involves a distribution broker hired by General Mills. I'm 100% confident that Mr. Ostad and Mr. Connors are more than capable to take on corporate giants without missing a beat. Moreover, I feel I can rest easy and not be sold out. The firm has my best interest in mind.
