Results from our cases in Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia

The cases listed below are actual results from real cases handled by our attorneys. Each case is unique and must be evaluated on its own merits. We are not able to make any guarantees and these prior results are not an indication that a similar result will be reached in your case. Also, we are unable to report, due to confidentiality agreements, some of the remarkable results we have achieved on behalf of other clients and therefore the following results are only a small sample of our overall verdicts and settlements. These results demonstrate the type of cases we have experience handling.
