Professional, Helpful, and Easy to Work With. Highly Recommended.
Mr. Avery helped me reach a fair settlement with the car insurance company of a person who rear-ended me while I was stopped at a red light.

Michael’s comment:
“I was retained by a gentleman who allegedly fell from a gurney in a Maryland hospital. After the collection of this gentleman's medical records and bills efforts were made to resolve the claim through negotiated settlement. Those efforts failed and as I was not a licensed Maryland attorney, a request was made of a professional friend to file a lawsuit in Maryland state court. He agreed to do so but did not. As a former Marine I took sole responsibility.”
