No one would help us...

My husband and I had this kind of crazy case where essentially a man stole goods from us valued at $30,000.00. All the other attorneys we went to said they could help us but then gave us a ridiculous price quote for a retainer, but Miguel said he could help us at fair price. Most attorneys don't wor...k half as hard as Miguel and his tireless staff. Everyone is young, enthusiastic, and not afraid to take on cases big or small. If you're even thinking that you may need a lawyer, schedule a consultation. The initial consultation is free and really helpful. I'm so glad we have them as our attorneys. I know they'll protect and help our family.

A very personable and professional attorney

My. Palmeiro is a great mentor. I am a senior at UMD and I plan to attend law school next fall. My. Palmeiro invited me to his office so he could give me an overview of how a typical day in the life of an attorney works. He introduced me to all of his staff who were very warm and welcoming. He also g...ave me very helpful tips on how to study for the LSAT. I would recommend Mr. Palmeiro to anyone who is looking for a very friendly and reliable lawyer!

Great experience!

Miguel and his team were awesome through my entire legal process. I had never had to deal with court proceedings from an accident before and was very nervous. They took care of everything from beginning to end! Kat was especially helpful when I freaked out about having to go to court. She put me at e...ase and reassured me that they'd do everything they could for me and get the best result possible in the end - which they did!

"Miguel is one of those people, who within minutes of meeting him, you know was born to be a legal advocate. His talent and legal knowledge is matched only by his passion and work ethic.
