Employment advice
Mr Dolina gave me sage advice at a critical time in my career. His consultation gave me good perspective on the situation I faced and was clearly not given for his own profit. I would recommend him highly to anyone facing tough decisions in regards to employment.

Excellent Lawyer
Tom did an amazing job handling my case. It was a very difficult and humiliating experience and he was extremely professional. He kept me well informed and advised me throughout the entire processes. Tom kept the case moving and was able to get it resolved quickly. I would highly recommend using him for an employment law issues you are having.

workers comp clients
Tom has been our workers comp attorney for the last four-five years. He has guided and supported us through some rough patches of dealing with workers comp. He has worked very hard to get us benefits that we would not have received otherwise. We trust his judgement and believe he truly fights for what is right for us. He has a heart for people and wants to see them get what they rightfully deserve.

Worker's Compensation
As far as I'm concerned, Tom and his staff are outstanding. His staff is very pleasant and prompt. I've told him many times, "There's not other lawyer in the State of Maryland what I'd go to." I'm overwhelmed by what he's done for me.

Worker's Compensation
Mr. Dolina did a great job. I don’t think I could have a picked a better attorney out there. He’s a honest man and his staff did a lot more than I thought even could be done.

Auto Claim
Ryan & Tom, I want to thank you for handling my husband's (Michael Craig Sr.) auto claim with such care and concern. The time and energy you both put into the case is much appreciated. Going before a judge and jury is an experience that I would not wish on anyone. You were great at calming our fears and putting us at rest. Our outcome was very favorable and the honesty and integrity you showed definitely played a big part. Tom, thanks for the O's tickets! That was very generous of you!

Insurance settlement
Good Morning, First, I would like to thank all of the attorneys at Bodie for the outstanding service that you have been providing us! I also want to let Mr. Dolina know that I appreciate everything that he has done for us. I know he has taken a decrease in payment and reduced a lot of fees as well as many other things that I am not aware of. I also thought the amount that was paid to Aetna was incredible. Mr. Dolina really did an amazing job reducing their pay out. I really can’t thank him and everyone else at Bodie enough for all of the compassion. I know we still have more legal issues to fight but I just wanted to take the time to let you all know this. -Angie

Will do everything He can for his clients
I was in a car accident July 2011, I had to have two surgeries and a total of five months of therapy. I was out of work for almost a year due to my injuries. The other driver had a very low insurance policy. In the beginning it seemed that I was not going to be getting settlement that was enough to cover my loss wages, pain and suffering. When the time came to settle, Mr. Dolina and his team worked very hard to get me the best settlement possible. Mr. Dolina and his team were in constant contact with me whether it was phone or email; they always made sure I knew where we were in the process. Tom and his paralegals worked very hard and always showed professionalism. They also showed concern for me not only as a client but also as a person that was going through a very difficult time. I am so very grateful for him and everyone at the firm, and I could not be happier with the outcome.

I called on a Wednesday to retain attorney. I was told by Miranda I’d get a call back later in the day or on Thursday the latest. She never called back. Do you want to hire a law firm that doesn’t follow through? Or one where you can’t reach your attorney?
Response from Thomas Dolina December 4, 2020
I have no idea who you are since you don’t identify yourself . We get many calls but try to return all . Be aware we are selective about the cases we take however we do try to talk to everyone who calls . Good luck to you
