Posted by anonymous | March 21, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Saved my life and my career!!!

Mr. Eidelberg showed he was extremely knowledgeable about the law from the initial consultation. He did not sell any dreams and he was very realistic but, was still comforting. Mr. Eidelberg's prices were reasonable as well. He didn't up charge due to his name or status which is the feel I received ...from other attorneys I spoke with. He checked all the boxes a great attorney should, and I hired him immediately. I ended up in a sticky mess that involved a hit and run involving injury as well as other minor traffic violations and I was in a unique situations where most outcomes wouldn’t be ideal unless the charges had been dropped all together. Mr. Eidelberg was prepared from day one. Not only with the things a judge may be swayed by but also how the state and county in which the offense occurred operates. The small details are what can make the difference and Mr.Eidelberg was keen on these details. Most of the time between the incident and the court date was a waiting period and I was kept in the loop the entire time up until the day of court. On that day he was prompt and forthcoming about all options and possible outcomes. When it came down to it his years of practice showed even down the how comfortable and confident his tone was when speaking to the court staff and judge. Mr. Eidelberg's preparedness on the front end led to maybe 5 minutes in open court if that as he embarrassed the prosecution and had all charges dropped. Truthfully, he would be scary for any prosecution to stand across in any court setting as I'm positive he was ready to fight tooth and nail on all fronts. I ever find myself in anything remotely close to what I encountered Mr. Eidelberg will always be my first call.

Excellent lawyer, very proffessional

I am not from Maryland and I was in an bad accident a few months back and I was at fault technically. The state trooper somehow managed to send my citation information to my previous address. By the time I came to know that I had a citation(since nothing was handed to me on the spot) my DL had be sus...pended by my home state. I panicked for sure, since I just had a letter from dmv saying my license is suspended and had no ticket information. I wanted to find my options and see if there is someway I can get out of the situation. I tried reaching out different lawyers to understand what is their opinion. I like making decision based on fair information and after considering all factors. My experience after talking to different lawyers were the following: 1.One said pay the fees after that we will look into it. The firm website mentions they handle such cases but he didn't sound as if they do(the dude was seriously in bad mood or had a bad day) 2.There were other couple of lawyers with whom when I spoke were very courteous and clearly stated that they can file a motion to get the fine reduced but it is more economical to pay the ticket. 3.One lawyer gave me an appointment for phone call and when I called he said "I have a court appearance and your options are to pay or file a motion (he didn't even hear out the whole thing). if you want to discuss further hire me and he hung-up. He gave an appointment he should have known he wont have time at that point of the day. When I spoke to Mr. Lee he spend his time hearing me out, didn't rush me, tried to calm me down and shared his thoughts. He was the only lawyer who was even positive about the trial and thought we can give it a try and have a chance. He was the most professional lawyer I spoke to and I did look into a few ( as stated above). His fees is higher than other lawyers but it is worth it. Why I hired him: 1. Positive attitude 2.Only lawyer who gave hope and didn't talk only about fine reduction even before going to court(there are always possibility of more than one outcome) 3. Not in a rush and didn't make me feel he is "too busy" to handle my case. 4. Quick responses to emails. I had to talk to him only once over phone. Once he was on the case I didn't have to think about it and he followed-up as per need. Honestly I forgot about the case date until I received a mail from him on the morning of the trial. Don't let the charges discourage you. I hope I never need his service in future but if ever required I would hire him without a second thought.

Great help to ease my anxiety

I reached out to Mr. Eidelberg regarding a issue I was having. I only had a few legal questions and he answered them right away and set my mind at ease. If needed I will 100% hire Mr. Eidelberg. Thanks again

Posted by Yvonne | June 29, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Domestic Violence

Professional, Experienced, Incomparable!

Mr. Lee represented me in court as the Petitioner and Respondent in two intertwined protection order cases. After our initial meeting, I was beyond confident that he not only completely understood my situation but would be successful in winning my case ultimately providing the closure needed for myse...lf and family. Mr. Lee was diligent and meticulous in understanding the minute details of my case, which were many, and stayed abreast of all events that occurred leading to and during my final court appearance. During trial, Mr. Lee subpoenaed precise witnesses who strengthened my case and asked exact and pertinent questions to those who gave testimony. He helped me to remain calm and at ease being as my circumstances were complicated and tremendously exhausting. I was ultimately granted my protection order as the Petitioner and the other order in which I was the Respondent, was dismissed since I was accused of a plethora of preposterous acts. I was so relieved when the Judge granted my order and it felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders! For those dealing with drawn-out cases where children are involved, you know that it can be quite scary and stressful for them having to deal with intense court proceedings. I was beyond impressed with Mr. Lee’s patience, sincerity, and empathy when interacting with my nine-year-old stepdaughter. I truly cannot speak highly enough about Mr. Lee’s work ethic, knowledge base, confidence, and attention to detail. He was always easily accessible, punctual, and really made my experience as stress-free as possible. I would seriously recommend him to anyone looking for the complete package in an attorney because his skillset is unparalleled!

Posted by Client's Representative | October 30, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Excellent Results

Lee helped our client Mr. Zhang to dismiss all his traffic violations but one speeding ticket. He spared our client's time and money to travel from MD to NJ, also his on time updates and professionalism have impressed us and the client. We'd happy to to work with Lee in the future!
