This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Very helpful

I was involved in a car accident, and I needed some advice. The office was very professional, and help me answer a lot of questions that I didn’t know the answers to. If I am ever in an accident where I am hurt I am definitely going to call them again.

Had a great result

I hired this lawyer for a case in Silver Spring. He helped me get to a good orthopaedist, and when I got better, helped me to get a good settlement on my case. I was happy with my result - not huge, but better than I expected. I definitely recommend him!

Thank you so much! Alot of people don't realize that, despite being the Alexandria Injury Attorney, we also are licensed to practice in Maryland and DC as well! Thank you, and we're glad we could help!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Great! Always kept me informed.

They always called me. With myself being so busy. I never really called them. They always called me to make sure I was happy, and to give me updates. And they were always honest, whether the news was good or bad. I had a bad lawyer before them, and I'm glad I switched!

Great Experience

Mr.Joseph and the team did a brilliant work on my case. I was involved into an accident while driving my bike and at this time didn't even expect that I'll get so professional assistance. I strongly recommend this attorney.

Great job!

I came from another lawyer to Mr Blaszkow. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer, from start to finish. It was like night and day. - I wish I would have come here first!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
