About Lee
Biography
Lee J. Eidelberg, Esquire, is a veteran trial attorney whose distinguished career spans more than four decades, with a focus on delivering exceptional results in motor vehicle accident claims and traffic-related defense. Based in Towson, Maryland, and a principal of Levin Gann PA, Mr. Eidelberg has earned a reputation among clients and peers alike for his courtroom presence, strategic thinking, and unwavering dedication to achieving the best possible outcome—whether the matter involves personal injury from a collision or defending against serious motor vehicle violations.
A former Assistant State’s Attorney for Baltimore County, Mr. Eidelberg brings a unique prosecutorial perspective to his defense practice, having led specialized units prosecuting repeat offenders and complex felonies. This foundation has served his private clients well, particularly in cases involving DUI/DWI charges, speeding, reckless driving, and license-related offenses. His clients benefit from a depth of trial experience, as well as a working knowledge of how both law enforcement and the judiciary approach traffic enforcement and adjudication.
In the realm of personal injury, Mr. Eidelberg has successfully represented hundreds of individuals injured in automobile and trucking accidents, many of whom faced significant physical, emotional, and financial challenges following their collisions. He is known for his comprehensive handling of claims—from the initial investigation and negotiation with insurers to courtroom litigation when necessary. Clients frequently credit him for recovering meaningful compensation, while also providing clear, responsive guidance through an often-overwhelming legal process.
Mr. Eidelberg is equally sought after for his skilled defense in motor vehicle citation and license suspension matters. Whether handling a client’s first speeding ticket or a complex DUI with the potential for incarceration or license revocation, he has repeatedly achieved dismissals, charge reductions, and favorable administrative outcomes. His approach is both strategic and personal—offering candid advice while crafting defenses tailored to the client’s goals and record.
Recognized by Super Lawyers, Martindale-Hubbell (AV-Preeminent), Avvo (Superb rating), the National Trial Lawyers Top 100, and most recently The Daily Record’s 2025 Power List, Criminal Law List, Mr. Eidelberg’s accolades reflect the trust placed in him by clients and colleagues alike. Many clients note that he not only delivered outstanding legal results, but did so with empathy, candor, and a steady hand during times of uncertainty. From out-of-state drivers facing citations in Maryland, to professionals worried about insurance consequences or employment impact, Mr. Eidelberg has become the go-to attorney for those seeking both legal precision and peace of mind.
Whether you’ve been injured in a motor vehicle crash, charged with a traffic offense, or are facing the loss of your driver’s license, Lee J. Eidelberg offers the seasoned representation, strategic insight, and client-centered advocacy needed to protect your rights and secure your future.
